-Part 2-

Invitation to Trouble

The human stalked back into the camp just as the sun fell behind the trees, casting a shadow over its lone occupant.

"Malazack, Where on Middle earth have you been? I've been here for hours waiting for you to drag your sorry self back. What did you find?"

With a satisfied grin he replied, "He's back, and the elf is with him."

"Finally, now's our chance!" Kelvar announced with a twisted smile of pleasure as he fed a small fire that he had just kindled in their fire ring.

Malazack, who had sat down to fletch arrows looked up with a glare. "You know that would be impossible those elves protect him like he was one of their own. You should have seen them today, laughing and joking it was…"

"I don't care, I am tired of waiting. It's all his fault Malazack! All of it. Him and that, that elf! " He yelled in frustration.

"I know, soon we will have our revenge, but for now, we wait until they are alone." Malazack replied softly as he placed the finished arrow in his quiver.

"Soon…"

Aragorn slid a dry tunic over his head, which was still wet from his 'swim' earlier. "Finally my clothes are completely dry," he said out-loud with a smile "let's see how long I can remain this way."

"Not for long." Legolas replied suddenly causing the man to jump. He laughing as he entered the human's room.
"Mellon nin, it never ceases to amaze me how, after all these years, you are still able to sneak up on me." He announced with a hint of amusement.

"Well, human, I suppose you will just have to get used to it." The elf replied with a smirk

"Legolas, can I ask you something?" Aragorn questioned in a serious tone, causing the elf to look up from the leather bound sketchbook that he was flipping through.

"My friend you may ask me anything, you know that." Legolas replied his voice resolute but soothing to the ranger.

"I was just wondering how long you would be staying with us; I saw the messenger from Mirkwood." Estel dropped his gaze, and stared at his feet as if his boots had suddenly become fascinating.

"Strider you know that I would love to stay with you and your family, but I have my duties also. Besides I thought that… well, that you would accompany me. That is, if you wanted to." The elf left the question open and waited for a response.

"Legolas, did you think that I would refuse that invitation?" Aragorn asked with a grin. He sat down next to the elf on his bed, happy that he would not again be forced to say good-bye to the prince. "However my father might be reluctant of our going," he continued laughing, "He knows how much trouble that you bring upon me."

Aragorn ducked the playful smack that was meant for his head.

"Oh, that I bring upon you?" Legolas asked accusingly "I think that your memory might be ailing you my friend. I was quite the obedient prince before I met you and your knack for trouble. As for your impish ways, I can always hold your brothers accountable."

The two laughed when the twins appeared in the doorway as if the sheer mention of mischief drew them to the room.

"Ada says that if the two of you don't get to the dining hall your both going to scrub the marble floors in hall of fire 'till your fingers turn raw." the twins grinned with pleasure at the thought. They looked at each other as if exchanging thoughts and at the exact same time they blurted out nonchalantly "Race you down stairs."

Suddently, the pair tore off out of view, the elf and human soon their tails.

Aragorn slowed to a stop, and with a straight face and as much innocence as he could muster, took his seat at the table.

The twins and Legolas all glared at him as they stalked in last.

Elrond looked surprised and with a suspicious tone he questioned his youngest "Estel, how did you beat them?"

"Ada, I simply ran faster." Aragorn looked as if he was about to burst.

Legolas opened his mouth to speak, but was beat by the twins. "Estel, tell ada how you slid down the banister with your boots, and beat us." A grin of satisfaction was written on their faces as the human kicked them under the table.

"Estel! Last time you did that you fell from railing and broke your arm! Have you lost your mind?" The elf lord chastised shaking his head in disbelief.

"Ada, I do believe I have." he said with a grin.

"What am I going to do with you?" He stated with soft smile as the food was served.

They talked and laughed during their lavish dinner and the subject of Legolas leaving was soon brought up.

Elrond expected that Aragorn would leave with the prince and gladly permitted his leaving Rivendell.

The two planned to leave in a week.
