Ayagoon


Ch3


Aragorn knocked on the heavy wood door and smiled when he heard "Tul?"

After entering, Elrond stood, rounded his desk and hugged him tight "I am happy for your safe return" then sniffed and smiled "though I believe next time, you should have a bath before you come and see me"

Aragorn rolled his eyes and chuckled "Adar"

Elrond laughed loudly and pulled him close for another hug "Truly, I am gladdened for your...err...what is wrong with your nose? Are you hurt?"

The young man snorted and shrugged "My brothers were happy to see me"

The elven lord shook his head and sighed "Elladan I presume...he always was to rough with you"

Aragorn backed a step and held up his hand "Do not be upset with him Adar...saes, I am fine"

Elrond sat back down and arched his brow as Aragorn sat on the edge of his desk, then bit his lip and slowly got off "Sorry Adar"

Elrond tilted his head "Umhmm...forgiven...now, I must tell you, we have some guest that arrived yesterday and we will be having a small gathering to welcome them properly...King Thranduil of Mirkwood and his son...and Celeborn arrived shortly before you this morning, I hope you will attend"

Aragorn lightly frowned "Formal?"

The elven lord chuckled and placed his hand on his shoulder "Nay...relaxed I would say, will you attend?"

The young man nodded and smiled "I will be there Adar"

~*~*~

Around mid day, Aragorn walked into the gathering hall and smiled when Elrond waved him over "Ahh, Thranduil you have never met my son Aragorn...Aragorn, this is king Thranduil of Mirkwood"

As the young man bowed with his hand to his heart, Thranduil nodded, then arched his brow "Well, it is nice to finally meet you, my ion should be here shortly"

Aragorn stood as proper as posible...trying not to nod off while listening to Elrond and Thranduil chat about supply runs, when his attention was torn from there ramblings "Aye! Wet man!"

The young ranger spun and smiled "Legolas! Mae Govannen!"

Thranduil watched as his son clasped arms with the young adan and smiled "Mae govannen Ayagoon!"

The king tilted his head "You are 'wet man'? Interesting...this is my ion, Legolas...tho obviously I need not introduce you"

Legolas tilted his head, held up his hand, then turned and walked to the table across the room. Aragorn watched as the prince looked over the food, then turned back and smiled at the king "He is your son? Well, I must tell you then, he was very kind to me the other night, he offered me shelter and was very hospitable"

Thranduil furrowed his brow when he noticed that Legolas was chatting with the twins, then looked back to the young man "Truly? Hmm...all he told me was that a traveler shared his fire...and that you were soaking wet and resembled a drown ferret, he then said that your name was hard to say and that he called you 'wet man'"

Aragorn chuckled, "May I ask my lord, who is teaching the prince to speak westron?"

Thranduil sighed "He has not begun his lessons as of yet, I know he has picked up a few words here and there...but he has not received any formal training"

Aragorn nodded "That is what I thought" then smiled as Legolas returned to his side and cleared his throat "Ayagoon, you may claim me this night for your pleasure?" and then offered Aragorn an apple.

Aragorn suddenly jumped as Thranduil quickly reached out and grabbed the prince by the arm and bellowed "Legolas!" then proceeded to drag him to the far side of the room and continue to yell at him in a form of elvish that the young adan did not recognize.

Aragorn winced when he saw how tightly the king was grasping the princes forearm and leaned over to Elrond "Adar, what is he saying"

Elrond leaned his head some "Well, it has been many centuries since I have heard the old Mirkwood speech...but I believe the prince is being threatened with a beating"

Elladan and Elrohir hung there heads, looked to each other, then silently walked up to the king. Thranduil narrowed his eyes as he noticed them approach and Elladan bowed "My lord, saes, do not be upset with the prince...we...we told him to say it. He thought he was offering Aragorn an apple"

Thranduil shoved Legolas away, turned to the twins, then tilted his head and growled "You find it funny to have my ion offer his body as pleasure like a common whore?! To be used thusly?!"

The twins remained silent but trembled as the king looked past them and yelled "Elrond! What say You about this!"

Elrond walked over and sighed heavily as he looked at his sons "Boys, you taught Legolas to say that to Aragorn, who of course would not have taken advantage. But what if someone from Gondor, or Rohan where here, and the prince decided to offer Them an apple as well, and offer it with your translation..."

Elrond shook his head and looked to Thranduil "I give you leave for there punishment" then turned back to his sons "Go to your chamber and wait to be summoned"

As the twins quickly left the room, Elrond looked back to Thranduil and gently placed his hand on his shoulder "They are young and meant no harm...saes Thranduil be fare"

Thranduil sighed and shook his head "Worry not, it is not as though they will need the healing wing when I am done with them"

The king then looked around the room and narrowed his eyes "Mmm where did Legolas run off to"

Aragorn slowly walked up and lowered his head "He leapt off the balcony into the tree just outside"

Thranduil frowned and let out a heavy sigh "Mmm...well, if he is up a tree, it is best to let him stay there...trying to force him from it...well...his shrieks could make your ears bleed. Hmm...let that be some knowledge for you Aragorn, never force a wood elf from a tree!"

As Elrond and Celeborn chuckled at the comment, Aragorn silently made his way to the balcony and yelled forth "Legolas?"

Met with silence, the young adan grumbled as he began to clime over the rail, then carefully positioned himself. Just as he was about to attempt to jump into the tree, he heard "Ayagoon daro!"

Hearing the panic in the princes voice, Aragorn looked down, and slightly swayed as he became dizzy when he realized just how high up he was and thought 'Aye that was stupid' then took a deep breath and jumped.

Aragorn landed on the limb and flailed his arms wildly as he attempted to get his balance, then suddenly felt two arms snake around his chest from behind, pirching him solid.

Legolas slowly walked Aragorn to the center of the tree and assisted him in sitting on the large limb "Stupid wet man!"

Aragorn tried to slow his breathing, then swallowed hard "Ha...hannon le melon-nin"

The prince narrowed his eyes and poked Aragorn in the chest "Ayagoon not elf! Mortal! Stupid wet man!"

The young adan held up his hand and nodded "Alright I understand...sorry...I know, it was stupid of me...hannon le Legolas"

The prince drew one leg up to his chest, placed his chin on his knee and mumbled "Stupid"

After a few minutes, Aragorn began to lightly chuckle "You should have seen your face"

Legolas furrowed his brow and Aragorn mimicd his expression causing the prince to laugh. When they had both calmed down and began to enjoy the view and light breeze, Aragorn reached into his hip satchel and pulled out an apple "Would...you...like...an...apple?"

The prince looked at the apple and gave a slight blush as he took it "Hannon le Ayagoon melon-nin"

The young adan chuckled and arched his brow "Legolas..." then pointed to himself "Ar...a...gorn"

The prince smiled, looked a his new friend thoughtfully "Mmm..." then leaned over, gave him a light kiss on the cheek, stood, and leapt back to the balcony and disappeared.

Aragorn sat there with a stunned smile on his face, but the smile slowly disappeared when he realized that he was now in the tree alone.

Three hours had passed, and Aragorn finally saw someone walk past the balcony "Ahh! Glorfindel! Help!"

The blond warrior backsteped, entered the balcony and furrowed his brow "What in Arda are you doing in that tree"

Aragorn slowly reached a hand out, then quickly re-grabbed the limb when he swayed "Saes! Glorfindel help me!"

The seneschal calmly leaned against the rail and arched his brow "Well, how did you get out there in the first place"

Aragorn frowned "Saes?"

Glorfindel shook his head and laughed "Oh calm yourself, there is no need to beg...I will save you from the big scary tree"

The young man watched as the great warrior then vaulted into the tree, and gracefully walked the limb to him. Aragorn immediately latched onto the eldars leg with a vice like grip and whimpered "Help"

Glorfindel sighed "Calm yourself, now how long have you been out here"

Aragorn looked up "Three hours...I...I can not feel my legs from sitting here for so long"

The seneschal reached down and caressed his hair "Alright Aragorn, I will get you out"

In one fluid movement, Glorfindel picked the man up, cradled him close, made his way back to the balcony and placed Aragorn on the floor "You may have been raised by elves...but you are No elf, whatever possessed you to go out there in the first place"

Aragorn lowered his gaze and whispered "I was talking with prince Legolas"

The golden warrior arched his brow "The prince I can see out there...but no adan should Ever be that high up...you...you were not attempting to remove him were you?"

The young ranger rolled his eyes "Nay, I know, I know, never force a wood elf from a tree...we were just talking"

Glorfindel smiled as he shook his head "Aragorn, you are only in your 23rd year, regardless of the aging of men, you should be more careful, you should never have even entered that tree, you were to high up and you Are mortal"

Again, Aragorn rolled his eyes "Nai but unlike an elf, 23yrs is an adult for men"

Glorfindel patted the young man on the head "Hmm, yet I just had to save you...from a tree"

Aragorn sighed as he shook his head "Has anyone ever won an argument with you my lord?"

The seneschal looked away and arched his brow as he pretended deep thought, returned his gaze, and smiled broadly "Nay" then stood and left Aragorn alone, sitting on the floor.
