Thranduil sighed.

/ What is beraid up too? /

He walked over to his bed and cautiously sat down. The last thing he need right now was a confused and sleepy Legolas. He sat there for a few minutes gazing at his sleeping sons face. As he was looking at Legolas he realized how calm he was. When he was sleeping with Thranduil he would twitch now and again and talk in his sleep. Legolas didn't do that now though. He face was calm and his body relaxed.

Thranduil sighed.

/ I have to get going. /

He stood up and kissed Legolas's forehead and tucked him in tighter.

/ I'll get one of the servants that he knows to came and sit with him. /

" Bye-bye my little green leaf " Thranduil whispered as he ran in hand down the side of his sleeping sons face. Thranduil quietly walked out of his chamber. He turned to look at the door but the sign was gone.

/ Beraid probably took it off so that I couldn't read it. Darn elf. /

He straightened his robes and walked to his office. Already there were ten people waiting for him. Mentally sighing and swearing, he told one of his councilors to go get a servant to sit with Legolas and then his long, boring day began.

*************************************************************************************

Legolas woke up when he heard the door open. He tried to open his eyes but they wouldn't cooperate with him. His entire body felt sluggish. He tried to clear the fog from his head.

* What? Huh? *

Nienna smiled. Legolas looked so cute when he was sleeping. She watched as he tried to wake up.

" Legolas, go back to sleep. It is just me, nienna," she said as she laid her hand on his forehead gently.

Legolas nodded his head a little and drifted back into the dream world.

Nienna smiled once more and moved to the other side of the room where the chairs where. She sat down in an overstuffed chair where she could see Legolas clearly. She picked up her embroidery and started to work.

************************************************************************************

It was late afternoon before Legolas stirred again.

* What time is it? Why am I still in bed? *

He slowly managed to open his eyes and sit up against his pillows.

* Why is nienna here? Where is ada? And beraid? What about Arwen? *

Nienna looked up at him and smiled sweetly. " Hello Legolas, Lle tyava quel?" {Do you feel well?} She asked as she quickly put her embroidery aside and walked over to the confused looking elfling.

Legolas looked up at her with sleepy eyes.

" Your ada had to leave and since Nefiath isn't here right now I got to sit with you today." (A/n- Nefiath is Legolas's nanny) Nienna explained. She tried to brush Legolas's hair out of his face but he backed away from her hand before she could touch him. " I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't like to be touched." she drew her hand away.

Legolas still stayed away from her and didn't relax.

* The doll. They must have found out that I talked to ada! I dint tell them anything though! I can't talk to anyone else. They might come and kill ada or Arwen or Nefiath. *

" Do you want to listen to a story?" nienna asked hopefully.

Legolas made no response what so ever. He didn't nod and he never took his eyes off of the white comforter.

Nienna smiled at him even though she knew that he couldn't see. She knew better than to push at him so she started one of her person favorite children's story, " once upon a time in a land very different from our own…"

Several stories later nienna realized that Legolas had fallen asleep again. She moved to put him in a more comfortable position but as soon as she touched him his eyes snapped open and he scurried away from her yet again.

Nienna silently cursed herself. It was obvious that Legolas wasn't asleep. She had fallen for one of his tricks.

" Once again Legolas, I'm sorry," she said as she slid off the bed " do you want to color?"

Once again Legolas made no response.

" Are you hungry?" she asked remembering that he hadn't had breakfast or lunch.

Legolas nodded his head. At first nienna could tell if he had nodded or not but he looked up at he briefly and nodded his head yet again.

" Okay. I'll be right back. Sit tight." nienna said as she walked towards the door.

She opened the door and gasped. The figure in front of her turned around.
