It was a lovely morning, Legolas thought as he rose in the pre-dawn light. He showered under his waterfall, got dressed, and headed out to watch the sunrise. He stepped out into the morning air, and his nose wrinkled up. It smelled... strange. He had brief, momentary longings for something, but shrugged it off fairly quickly. The smell wasn't that bad, actually. He got used to it quickly, and unaware of how close he had come to being affected by the strange chemicals in the air, he watched the sun rise.

Then, of course, it was off to breakfast. People were acting oddly, he noticed, as they started showing themselves. Humans definately did not rise as early as most elves do. Still, it was none of his concern, neither their rising time nor how they were acting. Anyways, humans always acted oddly. So he quickly ate his breakfast, trying to ignore the weirdness going on around him. Was it human mating time, he wondered idly to himself? Were the humans here that much like animals? This was not how things are done on Middle Earth, even among the humans. Or, at least, he didn't think so. He'd kept himself largely away from the short-lived race.

Eventually, things got strange enough that he decided he wanted away from it. People kept knocking into him, chasing each other around. It was very annoying. Slipping out into the cool morning, he walked quickly away from the ranch, towards the only place he could ever feel at home in this strange place. The forest. Gratefully, he slipped between the trees, and just wandered for several hours.

Time passed, and soon he was hungry for lunch. He slipped out of the depths of the forest, and towards the edge. As he moved closer, he saw a figure moving just at the outskirts. At first, remembering the odd way people had been acting, he was on edge. But this person was, thankfully, alone. He kept a wary eye out, but otherwise, just continued about his business.
