Chapter 1: Sleep

Legolas woke slowly, he could just about make out the stars in the sky.

"I see you're awake, mellon nin." came a concerned voice.

Legolas shifted his eyes to where the voice had come from and blinked several times to clear the blurriness of his vision. He was filled with joy at the person who was seated next to his bedside. The grown man he had become fast friends with over the years past.

"E-Estel, m-mellon nin, i-it has been far too l-long since we last met."

Estel looked in Legolas' blue eyes with his own grey ones to find some sign of pain from he, who thinks he can hide it in his state. But then, of course, Elrond comes in, breaking the two friends silence.

"Ah, Legolas, 'tis good to see you awake. How do you feel?"

"M-much better than when I a-arrived, L-lord Elrond." Legolas replied

Then Legolas looked at Estel, really taking in his appearance for the first time since he had woke. The man looked exhausted and dark rings shadowed his eyes. Elrond followed Legolas' gaze and gasped-

"Estel! For the love of the Valar, go and get some sleep!"

"F-for how long has he been a-awake?" Legolas' said in a concerned voice

"Only since-"

"-You first arrived-"

"-Three days-"

"-Ago and dropped-"

"-On our doorstep."

Everyone looked over, the twins, Elladan and Elrohir, had just walked in.

"Must you do that?" Elrond asked his sons

"Yep!" They replied together

Legolas started getting dizzy and closed his eyes trying to ward it off.

"Legolas, mellon nin, are you alright?" Estel asked concern lacing his voice

"T-tired..." Legolas said sleepily

"Yes, well, that makes both of you. We can talk when you've rested Legolas and Estel- go to bed, ion nin, Elladan and Elrohir will watch over Legolas." Elrond soothed

Estel got up and stretched out un-used muscles and turned to Legolas, who was now sound asleep.

"May the Valar watch over your dreams, mellon nin." Estel whispered and left the healing rooms to get some much needed sleep.

What nobody had yet noticed was that Legolas was frowning slightly in his sleep and a single silver tear ran down his face.

Midnight-chan: AWWWW! Poor Legolas!

Estel/Legolas: *silence*

Midnight-chan: ? ? ?

Elrond: SHH! They're sleeping as you should be, young one. 'Tis almost 3 in the morn!

Midnight: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Love ya,

Midnight-chan! :D xx
