" I can't believe he is truely dead."
Aragorn whispered, slowly he reached out a hand and touched the petals of the flower in front of him. Elrond nodded saddly at the twins and they got up and walked silently back into the house.
" Estel, I know it's hard to believe this...it's hard for all of us. Legolas was a really great friend and I was happy you got to know him."
" I just wish....oh, Ada!"
Elrond wrapped his arms around Aragorn as the man once again fought back his tears. He knew that his son needed Gimli to get there soon, they all did. Elrond sighed as Aragorn shivered in his arms.
" Come, son. Let's go back inside."
Elrond helped his son up and together they walked back into the house. Dinner that night was a nerve racking occasion for all five of them. Aragorn didn't say anything throuh out the whole meal, he barely touched his food instead moving it around on his plate. Elohir watched helplessly as Aragorn fought for composure, his twin brother and father where hurting also and so was he. Without a word Aragorn rose from the table and walked away. The others remained seated as they recived a silent " Don't follow him"
glance from Elrond.
Aragorn had no idea where he was even heading as he stumbled out of the dinning room to the hallway, he just needed to get out of there quickly. Suddenly Aragorn found himself in front of a familar door. Legolas' bedroom. With a treableling hand he turned the knob and the door opened he went into the room and turned on the small lamp Legolas kept on the dresser. Silently he closed the door as he took in the room. The bed was just as Legolas always kept it the familar green blanket that his friend had always loved was stright and his pillows were creased where his friend had lay reading a book just two days before and the book was still lying on the bedside table he often used. Aragorn laid down on the bed burrying his face into his friend's pillow the familar sent of his friend's favorite rubbing herb was overwhelming and once again tears formed in his eyes but this time he couldn't keep them in check and loud sobs poured from him and his heart twisted inside of him.
" No, Legolas! No! No! No!"
Elrond looked up from his plate when he heard the loud sobs of his son and noticed the twins were weeping quietly as well as they held onto each other.
