Glorfindel Arrives

Legolas grew sullen and withdrwan after Saelbeth's departure, not even Rumil could pull him out of his funk. He ate, slept, and sat on a balcony waiting for something or someone. Galadriel's heart went out to him, all he wanted was to go home but he couldn't. She watched Legolas get up and go to a the ban of a small stream to think. It tore her heart when he buried his face in his hands and started to cry. Celeborn was next to her and he said he would go to the elfling to see if he could help. Nodding Galadriel went to check of Celebrian as she had been having trouble since Elrond left. Her pregnancy was proceeding and she seemed healthy except she was getting these horrid headaches. Celeborn walked over to where Legolas was sitting and he put his arm aroound the child. Legolas leaned back into the touch and he snuggled up next to the elf lord.

"What ails you Legolas?" Celeborn inquired worridly.

"I am sad....I feel alone here! The twins have their mamma, and your sons have you and the Lady. Why can't one of my parents come?" Legolas reasoned in between tears.

"Oh Legolas. They want to be here with you so much but they can't. They need to fix up Mirkwood to make it safe for you." Celeborn rubbed the prince's back in a reassuring manner.

Suddenly a young woman ran up. "Milord the Lord Glorfindel has arrived!"

Smiling Celeborn stood and held his hand out to Legolas. "Would you like to help me welcome our guest?"

Legolas perked up and grabbed Celeborn's hand eagerly. They walked to the front gate where they saw Glorfindel dismounting and handing the reins to his horse to a stable hand.

"Well met Lord Glorfindel." Celeborn said politely

\ met met Lord Celeborn." Glorfindel bowed.

Celeborn laughed. "Come now you do not need to bow we are of equal rank."

Glorfindel laughed for this was a familiar argument. "Ahhh but your land still stands mine alas fell after my demise."

Celeborn shook his head. "Glorfindel I would like you to meet Prince Legolas of Mirkwood. He will be one of your pupils."

"Hello." Legolas whispered shyly.

"Hello young prince." Glorfindel crouched down and shook his hand while smiling at him.

Legolas blushed and shook the offered hand. Smiling Glorfindel stood and followed Celeborn and Legolas inside.

TBC.
