Chapter Three: Nora

"I don't know how, exactly." Kendall admitted as she scooped up a spoonful of the warm porridge. "I just was home one minute, and the next minute, I find my self outside the City in the middle of the Pelennor Fields, still wearing my pajamas."

Legolas smiled at her explanation. "You certainly have been through a lot." he said, taking a sip of his ale.

The girl shook her head. "Naw, it's just cold outside. It wasn't necessarily fun to walk for hours through the fields without shoes."

"You don't have shoes, either?" Legolas laughed. Kendall shook her head. "Well, then, we'll definitely have to get you to the Citadel, then. Besides, it's-"

"About time you start to head back." said a voice from above them. The two looked up to see a girl about Kendall's age standing at their table, her hands on her hips. She had long, dark, brown hair, a mischievous face, and friendly eyes. She was wearing a simple green cloak, with a brown dress underneath.

"Ai," Legolas moaned, burying his head in his hands.

Kendall smiled. "Who is this, Legolas? Obviously you must be in some sort of trouble if she's looking for you. I'm Kendall."

"My name's Nora." the girl said simply. She had what was similar to an American accent, whereas Kendall, Legolas, and most of the people here, had British or Scottish accents. "I work up at the Citadel."

"The Citadel?" Kendall repeated.

"Yes." Nora said with a nod. "That's where Legolas is staying. Didn't you know that?"

"No, I forgot to tell her that." Legolas said. Nora just smiled.

"Forgive the poor princeling. I think he's suffered the most out of the citadel." she said. "But now you're here, Kendall. Maybe you'll be able to lighted his mood."

Kendall blushed. "He seemed happy enough a moment ago."

"Until she walked in." Legolas muttered.

"What's wrong with Nora?" Kendall asked. "She seems nice enough."

The Elf snorted. "The day Nora is 'nice enough', as you say, is the day oliphaunts will fly, and Morgoth will dance around for the Valar in a dress."

Nora laughed. "I suppose the prince is still sore about the prank I played yesterday."

Kendall stared. "Prince?" she repeated. "Prank?"

Nora laughed. "Yes. The Prince got pranked."

Kendall grinned. "That's awesome!"

"I think we can be great friends." Nora said. "That is, if you're coming to the Citadel."

Legolas nodded and stood up. "She is. I already promised her some new clothes and a place to stay."

"Oh?" Nora asked, a smirk forming on her face. "I think I'll ask King Eldarion to put her room in the empty one next to mine. That way we can talk."

Kendall grinned as she stood up, and the three of them made their way to the door of the pub. "That would be wonderful!"

Legolas just groaned as they walked through the door. "Ai…"
