Sapphire:

Lothlorien was beautiful. I mean, not beautiful as in, oh you-look-so-beautiful-in-that-dress beautiful. No, it was SERIOUSLY-FREAKING-OH-MY-GODS-GORGEOUS! I literally wanted to die. I could live here, I really could. In fact, I made up my mind that I would come back here if I survived the quest. Then my heart sank when I remembered that Galadriel was leaving for the Undying Lands and it was the magic from her ring of power that sustained this place. Once it left this world, Lothlorien would fade...

Galadriel's beauty was badly represented in the movie, let me tell you...That woman was a knockout...She was also kind of scary...Her eyes seemed to stare into your soul, and then I remembered that she could actually do that...Yikes...Please don't read my deepest desires creepy lady! I like my privacy, thank you very much!

I was a little disappointed and a little relieved when Galadriel didn't say anything in my head. It was getting late, and I was still wandering around Lothlorien in a daze. Finally I settled down on the platform that Legolas, Aragorn and I were sharing. I had been offered one to myself, but I had declined. I knew that the others needed comforting and I had been hoping to be grouped with the hobbits. I supposed being grouped with Legolas was awesome, but I was uncomfortable around him. It's not like he could ever like me. I was a random human girl, and an ugly one at that. Kind of... Something had been happening to me recently. My rough lines had been smoothing out and my face that looked like it was chiseled carelessly out of stone was turning more...more...almost...elvish... I could swear my ears were slightly more pointy...Just hopeful thinking though...Legolas would never notice me, and even if he did, Thranduil would probably literally kill any mortal that dared attract his son. I sighed and gazed up at the stars in thought, letting my legs dangled over the edge of the platform. Legolas was on the opposite side, listening sadly to the elvish singing. Aragorn pulled himself up onto the ledge and stood.

"They mourn for Gandalf," Legolas said softly.

"What do they say?" Aragorn asked.

"I do not have the heart to tell..." Legolas whispered.

Aragorn noticed me, "Lady Sapphire?"

"Hey, don't complain to me, I wanted to be put with the hobbits!" I said with a grin, and Aragorn raised an eyebrow, his eyes twinkling with silent laughter.

"Is that so?" he said, sitting down beside me. We sat in silence, listening to the sad song, and out of the corner of my eye I watched Aragorn stare at the stars mournfully.

Legolas:

Legolas watched his friend grow sullen. He knew that though the man mourned the loss of the wizard and was worried about leading the fellowship, the ranger was really mourning the departure of his beloved. Legolas shook his head sadly; this was what happened when an elf fell in love with a mortal...It simply was not meant to be, and would only bring weeping and despair.

Sapphire suddenly spoke, "You're missing Arwen aren't you?"

Legolas was surprised. Most any mortal would think Aragorn was mourning the wizard. They would not realize that Aragorn couldn't force himself to believe that Mithrandir was gone. She was even wiser than he first believed.

Aragorn turned and nearly growled. He instinctively snapped, "None of your..."

He stopped himself and let out a long defeated sigh. "Yes..." He whispered, turning back with pain filled eyes.

Sapphire paused for a moment, apparently thinking, and then her eyes seemed to light up.

She edged over to Aragorn but the ranger did not acknowledge her.

To Legolas's surprise, she started to sing. Her voice was soft and beautiful, but with a hard edge like the whistling of a blade. She was also trying to mimic a strange accent that Legolas had never heard before.

"Well you only need a torch when the light is low..." she began quietly, putting her hand on Aragorn's shoulder. Aragorn turned and looked at her in surprise, and Legolas wondered if mortal women did not normally sing.

"Only need the sun when the monsters groan..." she sang, her voice growing slightly louder and her eyes glowing. Why had he never noticed her eyes? They were like pale silver moons resting on her chiseled face. In the starlight, Legolas realized she was as pretty as any elleth. He shook his head, what was he thinking?

She paused for effect, "Only know your lover when you let 'em go..."

His long time friend's resolve broke, a tear rolling like a silver bead down his cheek.

Sapphire stood up, and then suddenly powerful song burst from her lips like rolling thunder as she grabbed Aragorn's forearm and pulled the startled man to his feet, "She'll never let you goooo-ohhhhh-oh-oh-ohhh! She'll never let you goooo-ohhhhh-oh-oh-ohhh!"

Aragorn's eyes slowly widened and he gradually began to smile, and Legolas almost couldn't help but smile as well. She was pulling the man out of his heartbroken stupor! He wanted to laugh at her ingenuity as she began another verse, "Guess she'll take her one last chance to show... she'll never leave you lost and all alone...only know your lover when you let 'em go..."

She finished the song and Aragorn smiled gratefully, "What a strange song...You truly are a wonder Lady Sapphire. Thank you..."

"Anytime," she said with a laugh. "Oh, and that was actually my remake of a remake of a song, haha..."

"Pardon?" Legolas asked, and Sapphire's head whipped around to look at him. "Oh, Legolas, I forgot you were there..." she muttered, looking away embarrassedly and Legolas wondered why he bothered her. He supposed he might be a bit intimidating...Maybe he should smile more?

Sapphire:

We said our goodnights, and I refused to look at Legolas. I was too tired to ask for any fresh clothes, besides, I knew they would have to be fitted. I certainly couldn't wear a dress, I would have to get hunting garments fitted by some elleth. That would not be fun, trying to find someone who could speak a considerable amount of English...common tongue...whatever... I would do all that and bathe tomorrow. Right now...I would sleep. Zzzzzzz...
