A/N thanks you for those who have left a review both her at the sight or in an email. I am very glad to hear that you all are enjoying this story and hope that you continue to do so.
Chapter 3.
~ ~ ~ ~
Lost in his own thoughts and memories., Glorfindel had not noticed the others had arrived until he heard Elrond clearing his throat. He looked up to see they were all seated and quietly waited for him to begin.
"Memories have a way of sneaking up on those who have lost a loved one" Celebrian's soft voice filled the room.
"She is not lost" Elladan spoke up but became silent again when everyone had glanced his way.
Glorfindel watched him even after the others looked away. Elladan's grief did not seem to ease in anyway, to Glorfindel it was if it was worse. He wondered now if reading Anira's thoughts to the younger elf was a good idea. The look in Elladan's eyes however told him something different. Elladan wanted this, and in a way needed this as well.
With a deep breath, he finally opened the journal to the entry he had marked off. He took a small sip of his wine first then sat back and began to read.

~~~~In my short time in Imladris I have seen many elves visit. This however is the first time I have seen almost the entire realm getting excited. Not even when Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel had come for visit. Well perhaps others had been excited but Lord Elrond seemed almost annoyed.
As busy as everyone is today I now find myself sitting upon the stairs that lead into Last Homely House and so far no one seems to have noticed. The weather is too nice to be sitting indoors yet I still felt the need to write. In truth, I am also curious to learn who this guest will be. Elladan and Elrohir I have learn now who it is. Yet for some reason they have been told to remain quiet. From what I have been able to learn, only a hand full of others also know. Until then all there is to do is wait.
It would appear that my waiting had not been for long. The new guest to Imladris is none other then Prince Legolas himself. I do not see what all the fuss had been about. It was, after all not King Thranduil. Though I do believe that is one elf I will not be seeing in Imladris anytime soon. Legolas has appeared to be everything that Haldir once told me he was.. Arrogant, demanding and annoying. I once said this of the twins, they were nowhere near as bad as he is. He seems charming at first but as one gets to know him more, his is anything but charming.
It was earlier today that some of us had gone to the lake. A picnic celebration was held in Legolas honor. He sure does demands attention. However, the best part of the day for me had been when Legolas had decided to invite himself to sit with me and Arwen. It was not that he was there that I enjoyed so much, it was the look on his face.
After he had seated himself between us and introduced himself, as if we did not already know who he was. He started to speak of his adventured in the forests of Mirkwood. I was already wishing I could tune him out as well as Elrond sometimes does with Erestor.~~~
~ ~ ~
It was the sound of someone coughing that got Glorfindel's attention. Looking over he had expected it to be coming from Elrond, instead he saw that it was Erestor. Turning his attention to Elrond he saw the smirk he now wore.
" It would seem our young Anira has seen more then we realized" Elrond said.
" Or more then you would have liked" Celebrian replied, laughing softly.
Glorfindel glanced towards Legolas gave a small smile and went back to reading.
~ ~ ~
~~It was when my father had gone passed us that it started. Legolas began the story I have already heard more then a few times. Although, Legolas' version was slightly different. He had made it sound as if my father was a mere elf that had just been lucky one day. When he asked me if I knew who he was and Arwen had replied that he is my father. I could not help but laugh at the look he had. I am sure he did not appreciate the fact that I had merely stood up after that and left. Though truth be told, I do not care. I refuse to give him the attention he thinks he deserves merely because he is a prince.
I had been more then happy when the day had come to an end. A few of the others had chosen to stay by the lake until way into the night. What had surprised me the most had been when I said good night to my father and some of the others. Legolas had then offered to walk me back. It was not his offer that surprised me, it was the look that Elladan gave him then said *he* would be the one to see me home safely. That is exactly what he had done as well. Once back at my room I had expected him to return to the lake for Elrohir was still there. Instead he merely wished me a good night and had retired to his room across the hall. I do not nor will I ever understand either Elladan or Elrohir. This is a good thing in many ways. I do not think they could amuse me as well if ever I did truly understand them.
It should have come as no surprise to me when I was asked to meet with my father. The fact that a messenger was sent to tell me should have been a warning without question I went to see him. Turns out that Legolas was not pleased with me. It seems that his royal prince was not used to being ignored and he did not like it. That fact he spoke to my father was not what bothered me, it was the fact that my father had agreed to speak to me about it. This lead to an argument between us, one that Erestor had walked in on. The next surprise came when Erestor had agreed with me. I believe this shocked my father more then anyone else.
As always Erestor is and always will be known for his ability to make his point that always put a quick and sometimes painful end to any argument. I am sure this is one of many reasons why he is Elrond's advisor. This time had been no different. He made his point and then had left the room. He had closed the door on his way out but I still heard him. I do not think I was meant to hear his comment about falling for hardheaded elves but I did. I do not know if my father heard it or not. He did however have an amused look in his eye. As I had mentioned, Erestor did get his point across, my father did agree that I did not have to act as if I liked Legolas. Which is more then a relief for me. I do not believe I could have pretended to like him no matter what. I do not have to like someone to be polite to them. I will be polite with Legolas but should he wish to have my respect then he will have to earn it, not demand it.~~~~
~ ~ ~
Glorfindel turned the page but before he continued to read he reached for his drink and took a few sips. He glanced towards Erestor briefly but the advisor had looked away. He had not heard the comment that day but he did remember that argument quiet well. Anira had been right about Erestor. He had made his point quiet clear before storming out of the room. It had amused him to see Erestor that way, it still did
After a few more sips of his drink, he opened the journal once more and started to read..

~~~Watching Legolas leave had been as amusing as watching him arrive. I cannot help but wonder if any of the ellith would throw themselves in his horse's path to try to get his attention. I almost wish they would, at least that would have made things really comical. I can only hope no one saw how I rolled my eyes as Legolas waved over his shoulder then had suddenly urged his horse into a gentle run. Apparently he merely felt the need to show off. The image of him suddenly being knocked off his horse as he ran into a low branch of a tree came to mind. Elladan turned to look when I had not quiet been able to keep from laughing. Thankfully he never questioned me for I do not know how I would have explained it.
It was later in the day when I was stopped in the hall by Elladan. I had not even seen him there until he was standing directly in front of me. This was nothing new though, one if not both the twins would always do that. Elrohir seem to favor doing this more when I was carrying books or papers. He seemed to enjoy it when I would drop my things. Funny how he stopped doing that after I had glued his sword in place. Neither him or my father thought it was very funny. I never did get a chance to thank Arwen for the idea, I will next time I see her.
Elladan seemed nervous this time and I had to ask him twice if there was something he wanted. He finally got around to asking me if I wanted to go riding with him. This was something we would often do so I saw no reason for him to be nervous about asking me, or why I was suddenly feeling nervous about going. Of course I agreed to go and it was agreed that we would go two days from today. I am looking forward to going, I have not been riding in quite some time yet somehow, the idea that I was going with Elladan felt different. Perhaps I am just reading too much into it or am more tired then I thought. Either way, I am glad he asked me to go and I am looking forward to it.~~~~
~ ~ ~
Glorfindel closed the book gently then finished his glass of wine. Looking over he noticed that Celebrian had fallen asleep with her head in Elrond's lap that, to him, was a sign that it was later then he realized.
" We will stop here for tonight" He mentioned and everyone else had agreed. He noticed that Elladan seemed lost in his own thoughts again and let out a deep sigh. It was when he looked over at Erestor, the elf finally looked back at him. For a brief moment, Glorfindel saw what he thought was hope in Erestor's eyes but once again the advisor had looked away. It was this look that he thought of later on as he laid in his own bed and had drifted off to sleep.
