The next morning was almost painful for Lea, when Alassëa saw her she was shocked. Her hair was a tangled mess and she looked half dead.
"Bad night ?" Alassëa asked sympathetically.
"Yeah."
"Don't want to talk about it?" Alassëa asked sounding amused.
"Yeah."
"Coffee?"
"Yes please." Lea replied robotically. The rest of their morning was rather quiet, until Rumils visit.
Haldir's morning wasn't going very well, up until the point Orophin barged in uninvited Haldir had been staring at the ceiling, as he had been the whole night, sleep evading him and thoughts of her filling his mind.
"Your going to want to get up." The smile was evident in Orophin's voice.
"What now ?" Haldir asked propping himself up onto his elbows to look at his brother.
"You and your girl have a visitor," Haldir's stomach dropped before Orophin continued, "Don't panic that much, her brother arrived this morning." At Haldir's silence he continued, "Me and Rumil have spoken with him, he says that he brought a warning for Lea." He finished.
"Thalion?" Haldir asked, he hoped it was Thalion had visited Lea a few times before, the only member of the family who had.
"Yes, is that a problem?"
"He will know that Lea and I would never ... Work."
"Actually he thinks the opposite, so get up so you can tell him, the less people that know about this plan the better." Orophin slipped out before Haldir got up avoiding his morning mood.
By the time Lea was dressed and informed of her brothers arrival Haldir had arrived at Alassëa's talan. He accompanied Lea to the entrance of the city to wait for her brothers arrival, he had entered the wood early the evening before and was fast approaching.
At the sight of Lea in a dress Haldir was lost for words, he couldn't take his eyes from her curves, usually hidden under a tunic and leggings, the light blue of the dress made the flecks of blue in her green eyes stand out and her hair flowed in a cascade of waves around her shoulders down her back rather than tied away. "Beautiful." was the only word that came to his mind.
Finding Haldir at the door Lea was surprised, now that they were walking side by side her hand resting in the crook of his arm she was terrified, her heart was racing due to the close proximity, she couldn't stand it. "Just tell me that this was a stupid idea and we can stop it now." She said quickly, not daring to look into his eyes.
"This is a stupid idea." He replied, he stopped and reached for her, lifting her face so that she was forced to look into his eyes. "I cannot do this, I am sorry." She looked defeated and the sight saddened him to his very core. He closed the distance between them completely and his lips found hers, the kiss was short, but it changed everything, the tension was nigh unbearable. "Let's start again, I cannot pretend to be in love with you Lea, but I do care for you, truly."
"And I care for you." She replied her face a beautiful shade of pink.
"Let's do this right." Haldir smiled and they carried on their way, everything had changed and they both knew it.
