Aragorn clung to his friend's pillow unwilling to let the soft texture go afraid if he did that nothing would be able to keep him living, Aragorn felt a soft hand rest on his arm and heard a soft voice speaking to him.
" Estel, it is not your fault that Legolas was killed."
" You don't know that."
" I know he was attacked by wargs and biten and that was not your fault."
Aragorn burried his face into his friend's pillow trying to muffle his sobs, Glorfindel rubbed the human's arm softly trying to comfort him,
Elrond came into the room and sat on the other side of his son laying a hand tenderly upon his back.
" Wargs are really bad this year..."
" I don't care, Ada! I should've done something more!"
" Estel, there was nothing anyone could have done to help him. Not even me. Legolas was wounded too badly to be able to live."
" I tried to stop him from bleeding, Ada..."
Elrond sighed his Aragorn's voice reminded the elf of the man's childhood and how vulnable and lonely his son now felt without their friend. Glorfindel saw Elrond's eyes fill with compassion as he stroked his son's hair tenderly.
" I know. You were both always trying to help each other out of trouble from the time you first meet each other....."
Elrond laughed softly even as a tear made its way down the elf's cheek and Glorfindel smiled saddly.
Estel and Legolas had came into the house covered in mud. Legolas was carrying the young human who was struggling to free himself from the elf's arms as Elrond watched with a slight frown wondering what they had gotten themselfs into this time.
" Lord Elrond, I am sorry for the mess, but I accidently tripped and ended up in a mud puddle....Estel was trying to help me out of it, but he fell in too."
He smiled as he watched them go into the bathroom and knew that the two would always be friends.
" It was always that way with you two. One of you got into trouble and the other helped to get you out again."
They were both surprised when Aragorn's sobs became even harder after Elrond said that.
" Estel, what's wrong?"
Aragorn shook his head feeling extremely ill inside because he knew what his father had just said was true, that's what ended up killing his best friend.
