For the longest time, it seemed like he could not think of anything else but staying at his friend's side as he watched Legolas grow weaker and weaker due to the high fever that refused to go away. Sighing, he rewet the white cloth that had rested on the Elf's forehead, which glistened with a feverish sweat.

He didn't hear the soft sound of Elven footsteps behind him, nor did he hear the question that the Golden warrior asked. It was only when Haldir touched his shoulder that Aragorn finally looked up, quite surprised at what seemed to be the march wardens' arrival.

Aragorn then realized that he must have been lost in thought for a long time, the worry for his companion and the fear of what lay ahead for the Fellowship clouding his mind. Some of the members had come to check on the progress of their friend, and each tried to convince Aragorn that Legolas would be alright. But Aragorn had fell for that once already on this mission that he found himself on, and last time, it had been the cause of his friends' suffering, the reason why he now lay before the ranger, injured and weak.

He faintly heard Haldir ask his question again, though Aragorn was again lost in thought. Finally, the irritated warrior shook Aragorn gently but forcefully. Aragorn finally came out of his reverie and once more met the eyes of Haldir.

"Aragorn, do you need anything?" The ranger shook his head, and Haldir sighed loudly. "Aragorn, Legolas will be alright. He has pulled through worse, or so I have heard."

Aragorn once more glanced across at the still form on the bed, and heaved a big sigh, letting some of the worry diminish to a minimal level. "I know. But that doesn't keep me from worrying about him. Legolas has been my friend since I was very small, and to even come close to losing him...and it being my fault..."

Haldir frowned at these last few words. How was this the Man's fault? Surely the concerned ranger had had a lot on his mind, and was doing everything he could've done to get his companions out of the perilous Mines. The warrior put a comforting hand on Aragorn's shoulder, before both pairs of eyes focused on the bed. They each had one thing in common: fear for their best friend.
