Herenya smiled. "I have a slight head-ache, and some aches and pains, but other than that, I am fine."
Elrond smiled. "That is good." He then looked at the battered walking stick. "You have to have a new walking stick." He replied.
"Oh? I thought I heard it crack." She smiled.
"You will be using the new one a whole lot more when it gets ready." Elrond chastised.
"Why?" Herenya pouted.
Elrond gave her that look, then said. "Because I said so." Herenya smiled.
Legolas felt her smile warm up the room. He welcomed this warmth.
"You know, you don't have to stay silent." Herenya replied. "I know your here."
"Oh, right, my apologies." Legolas replied. "I am Prince Legolas Thranduilion. I am from Mirkwood my-lady." He bowed.
Herenya giggled. "That is a wonderful name my-lord. It sounds very nice. I am Lady Herenya Undomiel." She smiled.
"Herenya is a beautifal name." Legolas replied. "Why haven't I seen you before?" He asked.
"I have been visiting Grandmother and Grandfather most of the times while you have been here. That is what I have been told. Some of the times I have been working downstairs, and sometimes even in the homely houses." She smiled. "I can be anywhere. It is nice to meet you my-lord."
"Please, call me Legolas." He replied.
"When I get well I can take you on a tour of the house. If you wish." Herenya smiled.
Legolas smiled. "That would be wonderful." He replied. "I have never seen the whole house before." He then looked at Estel. He had only shown him their rooms, and the dining hall! Atleast someone could show him around!
Elrond sighed. "You will be getting a new walking stick. Estel. Go down to the craftmens shop, and tell them that we are in need of another stick. Butterflys?"
Herenya nodded.
"Butterflys it is then." Estel replied. "Come Legolas. You shall go with me." With that the two left the room.
"You have not told him yet?" Herenya asked.
"No, I have not told him. Just that we found you with the orcs..., and that your leg pains you on occasion." Elrond replied.
"A lie?" Herenya asked. "I didn't think you liked lies ada." She mused.
"I was not the one who told the lie. It was Estel." Elrond smiled with satisfactory.
Herenya pouted. She thought she could get her ada on something. "So he does not know?"
"No, he does not know." Elrond replied. "Would you like me to..."
"NO!" Those words flew out of Herenya's mouth. "I mean, not yet."
"But Herenya. You know that I do not like to tell lies..."
"In the house..., especially among friends..., I know this allready." Herenya sighed. "I will tell him..., I will..., just not yet."
Elrond sighed. "You can get out by tommorrow, you haven't suffered to many wounds. You have some minor bruises, but that should be all."
"Good."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herenya, with the help of her brother Estel, walked down the stairs to the dining hall.
"Elladan and Elrohir went to go and get your stick from the craftsmen. It should be beautifal."
"I told you countless times, I do not need a stick." She said.
"And Ada has told you countless times that you do. After that accident you had with the stones outside?"
"I would not have fallen in the river and hit my head if it were not for you and those twins following my every move!" She yelled.
"We were worried. You do not understand!" Estel argued. "We worry about you all the time, like that one time you did not show up for dinner on time..., or for bed time."
"Is it my fault that a bear chased me to the end of a cliffe and I fell over the side, and was knocked unconcious for hours, then woke up and didn't know where I was?"
"I suppose not." Estel sighed. "We are just so worried...,"
"That I'll make the wrong turn? Fall down a cliffe?" She asked.
"It has been known to happen." Estel sighed.
Herenya would have a talk with Estel later..., but now she had to be the hostess at the table this eve. She put on a smile and walked through the double doors of the dining hall.
"Good-eve my daughter, my son." Elrond smiled.
"Good-eve." The two replied while taking their seats at the table. Herenya sat between Elrond and Elladan.
The family then began to eat. All was silent until Elrond jumped in. "What were you two 'discussing' on your way here?" He then took a bite of his soup.
"Oh." Herenya sighed. "That?"
"We were uh, discussing the latest accidents that Herenya has some how weaseled herself into." Estel replied.
Elrond raised his eyebrows. "Is that so?"
"Aye." The two whispered.
Two of the servants came out with a bowl of salad and other stuff. "Hand me some salad please."
Elladan smiled at Elrohir then picked up the soup bowl. "Here you go." He handed it to Herenya.
She grabbed the bowl out of her brothers hand and put some in her bowl. She smiled while putting tomatoes and salt on it. The twins smiled and Elrond and Estel frowned. Legolas looked confused.
"Herenya, that is...," Legolas started but was too late. Herenya had taken a bite of the 'soup.'
She swallowed the soup then glared evily, tears streamed down her face and she got up, found Estel's seat and whispered something to him. He whispered back then stood. "Please exscuse us." He replied while grabbing Herenya's hand and leading her up to her room.
The elves sat in silence, all staring at the twins. Elrond sighed. "Legolas, would you exscuse us for a moment? Family matter."
Legolas nodded, and watched as the twins and the elven lord left the room. He looked at Glorfindel and Erestor..., "So, what was that about?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elrond frowned when he saw Herenya crying on her brother's shoulder. He felt sorry for her. She thought that people would treat her the way that Kilen did if they found out she was 'different.' He heard the soothing words of Estel. Estel always had his way with words..., and his hands. He taught Estel everything he knew about healing, and in return Estel taught Herenya..., they were two good healers, and they were blessed to have so many in the realm.
"Shh, Herenya, it will be allright." Estel soothed while smoothing back her dark raven curls. "He did not mean it, everything will turn out allright." He sighed. While rocking his sister back and forth.
"He knows..," She heaved while bursting into tears once more. Estel sighed, and almost cried himself. If he could only tell Legolas the truth...,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Elladan! You should have known better!" Elrond argued. He was standing in the Elladan's room.
"But Ada, I did not know that Legolas did not know, about 'you-know-what.'"
Elladan sighed.
"I know, I know." Elrond sighed. "We'll think of something, but from now on, be more careful." He sighed while leaving the room to go and see how his adopted children were fairing...,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elrond smiled a sad smile when he saw Herenya's labored breaths turn into small short ones. Estel looked up at his father, and smiled.
"She fell asleep." He whispered while laying her head on the pillow below.
"What are we going to do Estel?" Elrond sighed while looking at his daughter. Apparently she was still fine. He then plopped down into a chair beside Herenya.
Estel looked at his father. "Either, tell Legolas the truth, or, think of another lie."
Elrond sighed. "You know your sister more than anyone else does, what do you think that she would want?" Elrond asked.
"Lie." He replied. He then smiled. "She is a good liar."
"But I am not." Elrond replied.
"I'll think of something..., uh, you know the medicine that she had! It's the medicine! The tonic that you gave her made her a little out of it still..., when she realized what Elladan did to her she cried because she was embarrased." Estel smiled at his accomplishment.
"Ahh, then you can be the one to lie to him, I do not like too." Elrond said.
"Well, when I see him next, I'll tell him what's wrong." Aragorn replied.
As if on cue. The door knocked and a familair voice yelled. "May I come in?"
