Vesper

One Elf

Chapter 15: What have I missed?

Aragorn sighed, took a deep breath and began. "Boromir was shot three times in the chest, when i got there it was too late." Nenmîr thought she saw tears welling in his eyes and looked away. "He was a good man. The orcs left once they'd got Merry and Pippin and we killed off all the remaining ones, we figured out that once the orcs had been here they wouldn't come back and would expect us to move straight away. And it's widely known one can't travel when one is unconscious. So we searched for you all over, Gimli found you and after we'd seen to your urgent injury we sent Boromir down the river, with his belongings." He looked to Legolas to speak the next part. Nenmîr wasn't sure how she felt about Aragorn seeing to her while she was unconscious and in a vulnerable position- then again Legolas wouldn't let anything happen to her, she could trust that.

The elf continued from where Aragorn left off. "We guessed the orcs had trampled your ankle to make sure you were dead but being the brainless monsters they are they didn't rule out the fact you maybe unconscious. So Gimli organized our camp and got a fire going, while I patrolled the area to make sure the orcs really were gone and Aragorn saw to your wound" Legolas explained, searching Nenmîr's face for her reaction.

Nenmîr gave no reaction, not wanting to offend Aragorn in anyway or the trust between her and Legolas, but felt her heart rate speed up and her mind began working and asking questions. She nodded and waited for them to continue their tale.

"We settled down at camp for an hour or so then you woke up, it's been quiet and hopefully we can get on the move first thing in the morning." Aragorn ended.

They continued to discuss what to do next and where to go. As the night drew on Nenmîr retired along side Legolas, just as she settled herself into a comfy position on her back Aragorn cleared his throat- her heart skipped. Please no.

"Nenmîr? I hope you didn't mind me tending your cut while your were unconscious, I'd never harm you," Aragorn whispered his face was just visible in the firelight mixed wit moonlight; he wore a soft, gentle and slightly concerned expression that made confidence creep up and show its head again. "Know that please."

"Thank you" she whispered back and a small nervous smile, he turned round and sat facing the fire leaving her in peace to sleep.

She leant back in her bed roll and looked to the sky. Aragorn was patient, and kind enough to help boost her confidence. That touched her and left her feeling like she could overcome her fear in a heart beat- though that was not true and she knew it. Her ankle would be fine by tomorrow and her head shouldn't give her much trouble as long as she didn't knock it or aggravate it. Her mind buzzed over everything that had just been said, replaying it and absorbing it again until she knew exactly what had happened and what the plan was the next day.

Finally she gave her brain a break and focused her attention back at the sky.

The inky black mass stretched out before her never-ending and littered with stars. She peered around and found a few constellations. She only knew if a couple, the plough, the seven sisters and the question mark. She picked out the question mark with ease. She always found that one, wherever she went, traveling, Lothlorien, Fangorn and now here. Was that a sign? She stared at it for abit until her gaze was drawn to the crescent moon, the beautiful silver sliver shone brightly.

Lothlorien what was going on in Lorien? What was Haldir doing? What was he thinking?
