Legolas traversed through the halls of the elven Kingdom with a nervous Raelyn in tow. She kept avoiding the eye contact of the elves they passed; trying to ignore their curious looks the best she could. She could not, however, help but notice how beautiful the Kingdom was. The amber lights glowed giving the twisted corridors and hollows a soft, comforting light. Pathways crisscrossed throughout the caverns and Raelyn became lost in thought and wondered how on Earth the elves did not get lost in here! Chuckling softly to herself she supposed they had forever to learn.
Upon hearing this soft laugh Legolas turned around abruptly, startling Raelyn. "We're here," he stated after clearing his throat.
Legolas had said if she wished he might be able to find some alternative clothes for her to wear. She accepted, after all, she did feel silly wearing the Rohanian garb now that her true identity was exposed.
Raelyn stepped inside the door Legolas opened for her and came across a small room with walls covered in exotic fabrics. Raelyn gazed from the softest, shiniest silks to the hardiest of leathers – materials in every shade of the rainbow. The room was a kaleidoscope. A she-elf looked up from her position in the corner.
"Ahh Legolas, this must be the guest" she said.
Legolas simply nodded in reply. He smiled at a confused Raelyn and said "Word travels fast among these walls".
"I might have something for you…" the she-elf quietly murmured searching through a wooden box in the corner. "Ah. Perhaps this one."
The she-elf lifted a pale green muslin dress from the box. "Try this" she said handing it over to Raelyn with some small green matching slippers. The two elves politely exited the room.
"Clever that one" the she-elf said turning to Legolas when they were outside.
"Aye." Legolas responded with a nod.
"And brave she is too" the she-elf followed "to have done what she has done."
"Aye." Legolas responded again.
"And quite the beauty is she not Legolas?" she quipped.
Legolas's eyes immediately shot at the giggling she-elf but before he could say anything Raelyn emerged in the pale green dress. The dress reached just past her knees but tassels, like the leaves of a willow tree, were attached at the bottom. These fell about gracefully and swayed around Raelyn's ankles.
The eyebrows of both elves raised and without even turning to the she-elf again Legolas cleared his throat and simply said "Indeed."
