Aragorn heard the tree's voice to as it spoke to his heart. The man moved foreward and rested his forehead on the tree as Gandalf stepped back allowing his friend this moment alone. Soft breezes ruffled the man's hair and he smelled the bark's freshness and the blooms that had grew for many days. Gandalf watched silently as the man communicated to the tree. Smileling wistfully the wizard knew his friend had been tought how to do this by Legolas himself.
" Gandalf?"
" Yes, Estel?"
" Legolas tought me how to do that."
Aragorn said as he walked back to his friend, Gandalf sighed noteing the deep pain still in his friend's eyes.
" I know."
He said as they walked back to the funeral. The twins came up to them and Elladan wrapped his arms around his brother worried for him. Elrohir noticed that his little brother looked very pale and put a hand to the man's forehead. Aragorn closed his eyes as his brother did this not careing this time.
" Estel, you don't look well at all."
" I'm fine, brother!"
Elladan gasped at the anger in his brother's voice,Elrohir felt shocked as well Aragorn had hardly ever spoken to them that way. The man opened his eyes and the twins saw the deep pain in his eyes even after communiteing to the tree Legolas had loved.
" Leave me alone!"
He spun around and ran towards the house. Elladan made to go after him, but Elrohir stopped him.
" Dan, let him be. He needs time to calm down."
Aragorn wasn't calming down however as he ran into the guest bedroom Legolas had always stayed in when he visited Rivendell. He grabbed the book Legolas had been reading from were he had put it and threw it acrossed the room.
" I hate you, Legolas! I hate you! I hate you!"
