Chapter 6
Birds woke Eilish again in the early morning. Her watch read 4:47 am. She sat up, wincing when her stiff muscles protested at the movement. The bed roll next to her was again only recently vacated. Eilish kicked off her blanket and did a few stretches in an effort to rid herself of her stiff limbs. As she was doing this Legolas came noticed she was awake and joined her.
"How are you this morn, meldis?" He asked, kneeling down next to her bed roll.
"A little stiff, but other than that, I'm fine," She replied, standing up. "Yelch, I need to brush my teeth. I forgot last night," She said, making a face as she reached into her backpack searching for her tooth brush and toothpaste. After a few moments of searching she found what she was looking for.
"I'm going to the river to brush my teeth," Eilish announced. "You coming?" She asked Legolas.
Legolas nodded and followed Eilish as she crossed the camp, heading for the river, snagging her now dry towel from a branch on her way. Once at the river, she quickly got to brushing her teeth, anxious to get rid of the icky taste in her mouth left from not brushing the night before. When she finished brushing she rinsed her mouth, washed her face and dried off on the towel.
"Much better," Eilish declared, smiling up at Legolas. At that moment a slightly naughty impulse struck her and she stepped up to him, slid her hands up his chest and around his neck, and kissed him. After a few stunned seconds Legolas responded, wrapping his arms around her and deepening the kiss. Finally Eilish pulled away.
"Morning, love," She said with a small smirk, before turning around and heading back to the camp. Legolas stood staring after her for several minutes, watching as she collected her clean clothing and packed it into her bag.
When he finally snapped out of his stupor, he headed back to the camp to help ready things for the day's journey.

The remaining two days of the journey to Imladris passed without incident. They saw signs of orc activity while they made their way through the Misty Mountains, but did not directly encounter any of the nasty creatures. Eilish was tired and saddle sore when they entered the realm of Lord Elrond.
Eilish's blue eyes were wide as she gazed at the Last Homely House. "Wow," She whispered, as Legolas slipped off the horse. Her hands held his shoulders asgentgently lifted her from the horse's back.
"It is beautiful, is it not, meldis?" Legolas asked, smiling at her wide-eyed amazement.
"It's gorgeous. I've never seen anything like it," She breathed. A few elves, dressed in Imladris colours, entered the courtyard.
"Mae govannen, Prince Legolas," said a dark-haired elf in dark formal robes.
Legolas bowed in elvish fashion. "Lord Erestor, may I introduce Eilish Bell," He gestured to Eilish, who was standing next to him, nervously shifting her weight from one foot to the other.
"Hiril-nin," Erestor bowed to her and smiled.
"Hello," Eilish smiled shyly.
"You must be desiring a bath and rest after your journey," Erestor continued, "I will show you to your rooms." He motioned Eilish and Legolas to follow. They entered the building and Erestor led them through the beautiful halls to two rooms, side by side, which had been readied for them.
"Lady Galadriel saw your coming," Erestor informed them, seeing Eilish's surprise at their having a room ready for her. "Lord Elrond wishes to speak to you both after the evening meal." Legolas and Eilish nodded their understanding and Erestor continued speaking, "I will send someone with clothing for you to wear this evening," He told Eilish and at that he excused himself to attend to his tasks.
Legolas joined Eilish in her room while she waited. Legolas took a seat on the bed while Eilish explored the beautiful room she'd been given. After several minutes there was a knock at the door. Legolas rose from the bed and opened the door.
"Arwen!" He exclaimed at the sight of theely ely princess of Imladris.
"Legolas, it is good to see you, gwador," She smiled at her longtime friend. The Evenstar was accompanied by a young elf-maid carrying a beautiful gown.
"Do come in," Legolas opened the door fully to allow Arwen and the elf-maid in the room. "Eilish?" The red-haired woman came out of the bathroom at Legolas' call.
"Eilish, this is Arwen Undomiel, Lord Elrond's daughter. Gwathel, this is Eilish Bell," Legolas introduced the woman to the elf-princess.
"It is good to meet you, Eilish," Arwen smiled, leaving Eilish instantly at ease with the pretty elf.
"I shall leave you ladies to yourselves," Legolas said, kissing Eilish on the cheek and exiting the room, closing the door behind him.
"Eilish, this is my lady-in-waiting, Gwirithil," Arwen introduced the pretty young elf-maiden, "We have brought a dress for you to wear this evening. I will help you bathe and fix your hair, if you wish. Gwirithil will take your clothing to be washed."
"That would be wonderful," Eilish said gratefully, "I don't think I've ever felt quite this grubby."
Arwen went into the bathroom and Eilish followed, watching as Arwen ran a hot bath and poured various sweet-smelling oils into the water. Eilish opened her backpack and pulled out her dirty clothing, dropping it into the laundry basket held out by Gwirithil, keeping only her last pair of clean underwear and a bra. Then she pulled off the clothes she was wearing and dropped them in the basket as well before stepping into the deep, pleasantly hot water of the bath. As she sank into the sweet smelling water, Eilish sighed in relief. The hot water was already easing her stiff muscles.
"Oh, that feels so good," Eilish breathed, earning a giggle from Arwen. Gwirithil left the room carrying the basket of clothes to be washed.
"You are not used to riding horses then, Eilish?" Arwen inquired.
"Not even remotely. Until a few days ago I hadn't been on a horse since I was 11 years old," She said with a laugh. "But at least I didn't have to try and actually lead the horse. I just rode behind Legolas."
"Now that you speak of Legolas, what is between you?" Arwen asked curiously as Eilish began to wet her hair.
"Oh, Legolas," Eilish sighed deeply. "I don't know what to do about that, Arwen. I mean, I don't know how I got here to Middle Earth, and I don't know if I'll ever get back home. Legolas is an amazing guy, and it would be so easy to fall in love with him. But I don't want to do that and then have to leave him. I don't think I could take that," She said honestly, her eyes beginning to tear.
"I understand," Arwen moved to sit next to the bath and began to wash Eilish's hair. "I find myself in a similar situation. I love someone, and he is human. Though he is of the blood of Numenor and longer lived than other men, I am still elf-kind, immortal. If I wish to be with him I must forsake my family and my immortality."
"Aren't we a happy pair?" Eilish remarked, laughing dryly.
"Indeed," Arwen agreed, rinsing soap from Eilish's hair. "Let us speak of happier things. My grandmother said you are a healer?"
"Sort of," Eilish replied, taking a cloth and washing the grime of the road from her body. "I'm a nurse. In my world healers are called doctors, but we also have nurses who care for patients when the doctors are not there. Give medication, keep them comfortable and such. I help women who are giving birth. I'm learning to be a midwife."
"My father is a healer. If you do remain in Middle Earth perhaps you can apprentice to him."
"That would be co Leg Legolas and I are supposed to speak to your father this evening," Eilish said, standing up in the bath and accepting the towel Arwen held out to her. She wrapped the towel around her body and wound another around her wet hair.
While Arwen went to retrieve the dress from the bed, Eilish dried off and slipped on her clean underthings. When Arwen reentered the room, she helped Eilish slide the dress over her head and laced up the back. Eilish gaped when she caught sight of herself in the mirror. The dress was deep, shimmery sky blue, with silver stars embroidered around the low neckline, the openings of the bell sleeves and around the hem.
Arwen guided Eilish back into the bedroom, where Eilish snagged her makeup bag from her backpack. Sitting Eilish down, Arwen removed the towel from her hair and began to comb out the long red locks. W Arw Arwen did that, Eilish carefully applied a tiny bit of mascara and a bit of light lip gloss. When it was free of tangles, Arwen began to twist and braid Eilish's hair into a beautiful, intricate design.
When she was finished Eilish studied herself in the mirror. The front part of her hair was pinned and braided in a fancy design, while the back flowed loose most of the way down her back.
"Whoa, I can't believe this is me," Eilish said, mentally pinching herself.
Just then there was a knock on the door and Arwen opened it to reveal Legolas and her twin brothers, Elladan and Elrohir. Eilish nipped into the bathroom, so they wouldn't see her just yet.
"We've come to escort you ladies to to evening meal, are you ready?" Legolas asked.
"Just a moment. Come in?" Arwen held the door open for them and they stepped into the room. "Hello, gwanur," Arwen hugged her brothertwintwins>
"Is Eilish not ready?" Legolas asked, not seeing her in the room.
"I'm ready," Eilish announced, stepping out of the bathroom. Legolas' eyes widened, as did those of the twins.
"Meldis, you look lovely," Legolas breathed at the sight of her. The blue of the dress made her eyes seem even bluer and the cut of the dress accentuated her slender figure.
Eilish blush. "Thanks."
"Eilish, these are my brothers, Elladan and Elrohir," Arwen introduced the twins, who smiled charmingly.
Legolas offered Eilish his arm, giving the twins a pointed look, as the announcement that the meal was ready echoed through the Last Homely House. The twins respectfully nodded to Legolas, silently letting him know they would not intrude on his romantic interest. Arwen took a twin by each arm and the group left the room to join the rest of the household for the meal.
