Chapter 6
Elrond looked at the princeling and told his old friend to take him to the healing room and to watch over him, and to be aware of mentioning his father's name.
"Come, Pen-valthennen," Glorfindel said, and lifted him up, trying to give him comfort.
Glorfindel heard the prince mumbling about his nana, how he was so close to touching her hands, so close to being with her. Glorfindel trusted his friend's word about not mentioning Thranduil in front of Legolas.
When Glorfindel and the elfling were out of sight, Elrond explained what had happened to the others, and noticed their worried look.
"And all of this because you had mentioned his father?" Elladan asked, who seemed confused by the elfling's behavior. Elrond nodded in agreement.
Elladan and Elrohir walked to the healing room where Legolas was resting. Elrond and Arwen followed them to see what they had in mind.
Before the twins opened the door they could hear Glorfindel telling his stories, and being interrupted by the prince. They sighed, remembering the times Glorfindel had told them his stories. They knocked.
"Yes?" Glorfindel asked, annoyed by the interruption to his telling the story to the curious elfling.
The twins opened the door, surprised a little to see Legolas awake and attentive to Glorfindel's stories. They only stood there, glaring at Legolas.
"Who are you? Why are there two of you?" Legolas seemed confused at seeing two elves that looked the same.
Elrond came forward and explained. "They are twins."
"Twins?" Legolas asked, and there was a confused look on his face.
"This is Elladan." Elrond pointed to one of his sons. "And this is Elrohir."
Legolas could not see any difference in them at first, so he asked: "How do you know who is who?"
"Elladan is the eldest; he is serious, and his eyes are so dark," Elrond explained.
Legolas rose slowly from the bed and walked towards the twins. He started to examine them, and the twins were curious of his behavior.
The twins moved around so they were in different places in the room. Legolas continued to examine them, watching them, looking through them.
"Well…" Glorfindel asked.
"This is Elrohir," Legolas pointed to the dark elf that stood on his left side in front of him. "And this is Elladan."
"How do… do you know?" Elrohir asked him.
"Father?" Elladan asked his father, knowing that this elf was the first to know and not be confused.
"I…" Legolas stuttered at first, he did not know if they would believe him or not, and then continued: "I look at how they are dressed; even though their tunics are the same color, Elladan's tunic has slightly different embroidery to Elrohir's, but there was another thing that caught my attention."
"What?" Arwen asked.
"I could feel the spirit within them; one is older by a minute and his power is stronger than the other."
"You need to learn more, brother, and you need to know how to fight," Elladan mentioned to his twin.
"Legolas?" Glorfindel asked when he noticed the princeling move towards the bed, his eyes full of tears. It made his heart break a little to see the elfing so sad.
Arwen came forward and hugged the princeling. He tightened his grip on her, not wanting to let her go.
"Naneth, no…" he cried within her arms.
The twins looked at each other and decided it was better to leave Legolas alone. In less than a minute the elfing's behavior had changed. Elrohir left the room and Elladan was about to follow when he turned around to look at his father.
"Adar?" Elladan called.
Elrond was worried; Legolas looked so fragile in his eyes.
"I will stay with them," Glorfindel said. Elrond nodded, and followed his son out of the room.
Arwen lay on the bed with Legolas curled up within her arms, while Glorfindel sat on a chair watching them.
The last light faded, and soon there was complete darkness.
The wind blew through the trees during the night; it sounded as if they were singing a lullaby to a young prince.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning…
The sun rose, sending light through the window and over where the elfling was sleeping peacefully. He had not had any nightmares.
Legolas opened his eyes, and a smile appeared in his face. Glorfindel and Arwen, who were already awake, noticed it.
"How did you sleep?" Glorfindel asked, while Arwen admired the beauty that showed in Legolas' face when he smiled.
"Calm and peacefully," Legolas replied.
"You must be very hungry; come and eat," Glorfindel said, and saw how quickly the elfling grabbed Arwen's hands and seemed impatient as he waited for them to lead the way. His stomach was rumbling, and he felt very hungry, like he had not eaten for two days or more.
They got to the kitchen and saw Elrond and his sons were already there. He gave Legolas some lembas and strawberries, and put a jug of water on the table. Legolas started to eat and seemed to enjoy the food. He asked if Glorfindel could pour some water for him in a glass.
Glorfindel did, but neither he or the other elves took any of the food that was on the table; it was a moment to enjoy, seeing the look on Legolas' face as he ate hungrily.
Legolas finished eating his breakfast and, raising his head, asked for more.
Elrond was astonished; Legolas's behavior had changed, it was like he wanted to remain in their presence.
Or there could be another reason, as another idea crossed his mind, but he ignored it; he did not want to think about it.
As Legolas finished eating his second helping, the twins came forward, and asked: "Shall we go outside and play a game?"
Legolas looked at Glorfindel and Arwen for permission, and they nodded to him. He smiled at the twins and joined them. They went outside, making their way through the garden into the small forest.
Elrond came closer to his daughter. He had noticed the confused look on her face and on Glorfindel's, and explained: "He felt closer to you; I believe he has started to love you."
"Really?" Glorfindel wondered, as he rose from his chair, and felt proud of the Lord's words. He went outside, followed by Elrond and Arwen. Slowly they made their way into the forest, following the twins and Legolas.
Elrond watched over the forest as the twins tried to play with the princeling 'Hide and Seek'. It proved to be very hard for the twins to look for Legolas as the forest gave Legolas shelter.
