"You wanted to see me father?"

Thranduil looked up at his son with a look of pure confusion. He frowned, trying to remember what it was he called Legolas in for. "Uhm…"

Then he saw that the dwarf stood beside Legolas and remembered. "Oh yes, I remember. You remember Dol Guldur?"

Legolas frowned, "The cave in the south end of the forest? Yes I know it, why?"

Drawing himself up all kingly and important as his advisor entered with a mass of papers in hand, Thranduil answered his son as he plucked his quill out of the ink well. "Esgalmar has informed me that Dol Guldur has had little or no maintenance over these years of late, and I was thinking that you boys would like the adventure."

Gimli gave Legolas a look and the elf couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course Father, Gimli and I will set out by morning." Legolas replied with a bow.

"Yes, yes, good good." Thranduil said absently, signing papers for Esgalmar. "Now leave."

--

So Legolas and Gimli went to their chambers to pack. They had rooms next to each other and Gimli was sitting on a bench by the window hammering out the dent in his helmet.

CLANK CLANK CLANK!

"Gimli.."

CLANK CLANK CLANK!

"Gimli could you please-"

CLANK CLANK CLANK!

"GIMLI!"

CLANK CLANK CLANK!

Legolas sighed and fell onto his bed, with his hands over his ears. Damn his elvish hearing.

CLANK CLANK CLANK!

The door to Legolas' room burst open and Calen stormed in, standing over the bed and glaring at Legolas, "Shut the dwarf up!"

Legolas shrugged, "I've tried to."

CLANK CLANK-

Gimli looked up and dropped his helmet when he saw Calen. He then attempted to catch it as it rolled off across the room, ending up looking like a total fool as he chased after it.

Once Gimli regained his composure (and his helmet) he bowed his head quickly to Calen, who was absolutely furious.

"The King tells me you are leaving by morning. How long will you be gone? When are you coming back? Where are you going?! You have only just arrived. I don't understand." Calen exclaimed hurriedly.

Gimli tucked his helmet under his arm and sat back down on the bench. "We must comply with the King's orders lass."

Calen gave Gimli a blank stare and rolled her eyes, turning back to her cousin, "How can you just leave? You've hardly spoken to me the entire time you've been here."

"What about the archery lesson!" Legolas exclaimed, with a smirk.

Narrowing her eyes at him Calen folded her arms across her chest, she smiled evilly, "I'm coming with you."

And with that she turned around and headed for the door, turning back around just as she reached the doorframe, "Oh and by the way, your father wants to see you."

Then she swept out of the door.

Legolas gave Gimli a look and the elf sighed.

Gimli, however, was smiling as he shook his head, "She's a fiery lass."

Legolas looked up and started for the door.

"CALENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"

Calen sighed and turned around. She'd been on her way to tell Dimthuleion she was going with Gimli and Legolas when Vebor hastily caught up with her and tumbled on the floor around her.

She flinched as Vebor jumped to his feet and smiled widely at her. "Take Llama!"

Calen blinked, "What did you say?"

"Take Llama!"

"….?"

Vebor rolled his eyes, "Gosh Cousin Calen, you're so silly." He reached into his vest pocket and then thrust a fuzzy white ball of fur at her. "Take Llama!"

"Ooohhh…" Calen forced a smile and nodded, "Llama."

She sighed as Vebor continued to hold out the bunny expectantly to her. "Vebor I can't take care of the rabbi-"

"It's not a rabbit! It's a Llama!"

"…Vebor I can't take care of the Llama. You take much better…" Calen thought about what she was saying and how her cousin had just pulled the bunny out of his pocket and stopped there. "…I'm sure Llama would miss you too much."

Vebor (somehow) gave Calen a look that actually made her feel stupid, "Of course he'll miss me. But if you leave he'll miss you. But don't worry, he's housebroken."

Calen laughed. "I'm sure you've taught him well Vebor."

Nodding spastically, Calen was surprised Vebor didn't hurt himself. "Hold out your paw."

"My what?"

Vebor held out his hand in demonstration and Calen warily did the same. Her hand soon had 'Llama' dumped into it and it took Calen every bit of concentration she had not to just drop the rabbit right there on the ground.

But then she looked at the cute little ball of fur and smiled a bit. "Aww…it's adorab-" she looked up.

Vebor had vanished.

"Oh great."

--

Dimthuleion was looking quite peaceful when Calen walked into his room. Peaceful like a baby. A baby that was sucking his thumb and curled into a ball with his arse bandaged.

She hadn't really decided what to do with Llama yet, so she was still holding the rabbit as far away from her as possible. But when she looked down at Dimthuleion's quiet sleeping form an idea came over her.

Calen knew that she shouldn't, but she set Llama on the blankets next to Dimthuleion, just to see what happened.

And just to her luck, Llama immediately went for Dimthuleion's pants. Calen's hand went to her mouth in fear of laughing out loud. Vebor really had taught Llama well.

Now the bunny was snuggling up against Dim, and Calen took a few steps back from the bed, teetering as she held in her giggles.

"…mmmm…not now Calen…my arse hurts…"
