Chapter eight
By Clio Leanan Sidhe

"Indil!"

The little girl squealed, running naked through Legolas' bedroom.

"Come back here!" Legolas cried out, running after his little daughter. He was holding a towel in his pale hands, trying to catch the little child.

"Ada!" Rinon pouted, standing in the doorway of the large bathroom. He held his towel around his lithe body, brushing some wet sticking hairs away from his face. "I want to go to uncle Elrohir.."

Legolas stopped and turned. "I think not." He replied and placed his hands on his hips. "I have spoken with Elrohir and you will not see your uncle for at least two weeks, both of you should learn to be adults."

Rinon raised his eyebrow. "But I am suppose to be a child..."

Indil nodded, hiding underneath the bed. "Yes, ada, we are children." She stated as a matter of fact, she nodded her head and then placed her hands under her chin, leaning it upon her crossed hands.

Legolas rolled his eyes. "I suppose you are."

Rinon grinned and stepped into the bedroom. "Can I go and see uncle Elrohir then?"

"No, you cannot." Legolas said for a second time and walked over to the bed. He pulled his daughter out from underneath it and placed her on the bed. "Now get yourself dry."

Indil took the towel from her ada and started drying herself. "Can I still see uncle Elrohir?" She asked, looking up at Legolas with large innocent eyes.

Legolas sighed and shook his head. "No Indil, you cannot."

The blonde girl pouted but nodded. "And Uncle Elladan?"

"No Indil, you can neither see uncle Elladan because both of you will lie and tell me you saw uncle Elladan instead of Elrohir." Legolas started, very well knowing what his children were going to do if they could see their Uncle Elladan. It was easy for the children to tell him they had simply mistaken Elrohir for Elladan. It was a mistake easily made but Legolas knew that neither Rinon nor Indil would make such a mistake without meaning too. "It is a easily made mistake which could be used to your advantage."

Indil sighed and pushed herself up from the bed. She skipped towards the closet and opened it. She grabbed her emerald green robes from it and started dressing, turning to Legolas for help.

The older blonde elf helped her and smiled. When Indil's large green eyes rested upon her ada and she pushed strands of her long blonde hair out of her face with her small hands. "Ada, when will daddy return?" She asked out of the blue, startling her ada.

"Um...I do not know Indil, maybe you should ask Lady Galadriel." Legolas whispered softy and took Rinon's leggings and shirt from the closet. He threw them towards the little boy who easily catched them. He could hear the brunette boy thank him as Legolas took Indil's hand and guided her towards the bed.

Legolas was deep in thought while he picked up the brush from the small bedside table. He sat down behind Indil and started brushing her long blonde tresses, thinking about his companion. "I hope he will return soon."

"I hope so too, ada." Both Indil and Rinon whispered. Rinon jumped onto the bed next to his sister, wearing his dark red leggings and soft sand coloured shirt. He crossed his legs underneath himself, watching his ada and sister in silence.

Indil played around with the sleeve of her robes as Legolas brushed her hair and braided it. She started murmuring a song which Legolas had taught them.

"I am sure he will return soon." Legolas whispered, but in his heart he was not so sure.

Rinon's eyes lit up and he smirked mischievously. "Ada, can we go for a walk?" He asked and clasped his hands together, pleading softly.

Legolas nodded in agreement. "Yes, that would be nice for us."

OOO

"Don't go to far!" Legolas yelled after his children. They giggled and ran into the forest, passing large trees and finally disappearing behind them. Legolas sighed and rolled his eyes, walking after the twins slowly. He smiled, hearing his children's soft laughing voices in the distance.

He shook his head in amusement and followed Rinon and Indil. He frowned when he no longer heard the laughing voices of his children. "Indil? Rinon?" He started to walk a little faster, frowning.

He started running when he did not hear his children reply to him. "Indil! Rinon! Where are you?"

He passed some trees, knowing that his children had come that way. He felt his heart beating faster when he heard a soft cry coming from the little blonde girl. "Indil!" He tried again and almost stumbled.

"Ada!"

Legolas cried out in relief when he heard his daughter's voice but he did not slow his pace. He kept running, wanting to know what had caused his children to stop laughing happily. When he saw his children between the trees he came to an abrupt halt. His eyes widened and the blue orbs grew darker when he saw who was with them, standing in front of them and looked down at his son and daughter.
