Who: Aragorn and Legolas
When: Early morning of day 9, just as the weather begins to pick up.
What: Aragorn's arrival
Where: The beach for starters
Rating: PG-13 for Naked Legolas and clearly a naked, drowned rat Aragorn!
Status:COMPLETE!

Despite the turn in events, Aragorn,had been successful in rallying the armies of Rohan and Gondor. In the back of his mind as he now sat atop his horse, Aragorn allowed his mind to wander back to the Elf, a man that the Ranger had began to think of as a friend. The sudden disappearance, was still a puzzle to Aragorn and Gilmi. Even the Dwarf was beginning to miss Legolas and their little friendly competitions in battle. Sighing he ran a hand through his hair. If the Elf had been taken or killed, then Aragorn vowed today he would get that revenge upon the enemy.

Soon he had to put that out of mind as he moved to the front of the great armies that were gathered and ready for battle.The plan was to distract Sauron so Frodo and Sam could get past the Black Gates and destroy the ring. Aragorn knew that this was truly the only way they could defeat the dark enemy. He had to focus, the rest he could deal with later.

It was time. It was time for Aragorn to adress the troops and to encourage them before the battle. He moved back and forth in front of them on horseback. His eyes were dark with focus and intent as he began his speech.

"Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!"

Just as he finished the last word, things began to change and quickly. Aragorn had no idea what was happening.Things began to fade to black,or began to fade into the background completely. He felt light headed, dizzy and out of sorts. First it was him and his horse,everything else was gone now. At first, Aragorn tried to fight the complete darkness that threatened to take him,but it was too strong so it soon was able to do as it intended.

Something wet...something cold and wet fell upon Aragorn as he slowly started to stir. It took him a long time to realize it was rain, and to also gather that he was some place he had no idea where it was. All this made him come to very quickly and focus. His hands were on something grainy, rough. His fingers ran through it. Sand....?

Aragorn was quickly on his feet and looking around. He began to panic. Where was he? Where were the armies? Did Sam and Frodo make it in to destroy the ring? Did they defeat the enemy? His head was swimming with so many questions and thoughts. he was beginning to feel light headed again.

He could tell that there was quite a lot going on in that head of Aragorn's. Sure, he was a human, but that didn't mean he was stupid. In fact, Aragorn had been the first human that Legolas had ever had time for. The other human, Boromir, had been amusing in his own way, but nothing like as deep as the Ranger was. It wasn't unusual for Aragorn to become lost in thought, and it was quite understandable now. Legolas had had a couple of days to adjust but this was all new to his Ranger friend. He didn't take it personally, and only wandered back to the ledge he'd been perched on before.

"Sam and Frodo... Gandalf trusted them, and even if I did not at first, I do now. It will be difficult for them but... he would not have trusted them for no reason. There is yet hope."

Seeking to give comfort, the naked elf leaned over and rested a hand on the human's bare shoulder. He smiled at him, hoping that his mood would somehow transfer from himself to the Ranger. Of course, it wasn't likely to happen. Aragorn was a very stern, grim sort of man most of the time. And moreso now that he was lost in thoughts about a war he no longer had any control over. When he saw Aragorn smile back at him, it made him happy. Sometimes, every so often, he could make the stoic human smile, and it always touched him deeply that he could do that.

"This is a mere part of it. There are things here that you never could have even dreamed of, my friend, and I will show you everything." His eyes widened as something occured to him, and the smile on his lips grew bigger. "Aragorn! Your room key... I had forgetten until right now..." He leaned over and rummaged through his belt pouch, hanging nearby. Finally, he retrieved a key and handed it to his friend. "The room number... you are lodged right beside me, my friend!"

Aragorn was often thought of as too thoughtful, too stubborn and grim. He had a wry sense of humor and hardly ever cracked a smile. And when a situation like this came up, where something very important was taking place, it was hard for him to get his thoughts anywhere but there. In this instant with the war going on in Middle Earth and the fact he was not there and he no longer had a place in that part of his people's history it bothered him. Not for the glory but because this was very important to him. What if the armies failed? What if Sam and Frodo failed? Sighing softly, Aragorn once more ran a hand through his hair.

Upon hearing Legolas' words and feeling his hand upon his shoulder, Aragorn actually relaxed and felt some of the tension and worry go away. Not many people could ever get Aragorn to relax nor to smile even a little. But Legolas was one of the very few. In fact sometimes, the Elf's mood very well could rub off on Aragorn.

"Let us just hope not all this was done in vain, my friend." His reply to the happenings of Middle Earth was almost distant. His thoughts were still there and Aragorn hoped they would be able to finish the task at hand without him and Legolas. He let it go and left it in the hands of fate. The destiny of his people and Middle Earth was out of his hands. He didn't like it, but there was no choice.

Raising a brow when Legolas mentioned his room, Aragorn looked at the Elf and that smile on those lips and he wanted to laugh. Legolas had more time to deal with being in a new place. He had the time to know what was going on and to accept that there was nothing that could be done. And it showed as Legolas was relaxed and his happy self. It was rubbing off on Aragorn. Or was it the fact that his room was so close to the one of his friend? He wasn't sure.

That very small thought was already leading down a dangerous path and Aragorn could not go there. Shaking his head of his thoughts, Aragorn smiled at his friend again and nodded. "Well my friend, this is truly good news. At least I won't be loosing track of you this time."

He frowned slightly as he felt the human's shoulder under his hand. It was stiff with tense muscles, and he knew there was no way that could be comfortable. Slowly, he slid around behind the other man and crouched there between his back and the wall, keeping the one hand on Aragorn's shoulder.

"Nothing was done in vain, Aragorn. Not what the Hobbits are doing, nor what Gandalf did, nor even what you and I did before we were taken to this life of comfort and luxury. Remember that, my friend. Nothing was in vain. It all meant something."

As he spoke, he put his other hand on the human's other shoulder, and began to softly knead the tension out of them. Hopefully, the human wouldn't mind. After all, they were friends, even if this was something new that they'd never done before. But Aragorn was having a hard time adjusting, he knew it, he could tell. He wanted to help. His hands were strong from pulling back his bow, and they quickly located and worked on knots that were surely causing the human discomfort.

"Yes, my friend. It seems we are on another adventure together. I think that even if I did get pulled away from you again, you would likely follow me. Admit it, you can not cope without my excellent advice and companionship..."

He laughed lightly as his fingers pressed into the human's bare shoulders, trying to lift his spirits and relax his muscles at the same time. Maybe it would take time for Aragorn to truly accept that they were trapped here, but he could at least help.

The past, the war, the hobbits, what was going on,it had left his mind the moment Legolas shifted behind him. And even more so when Legolas placed his other hand on his stiff and tense shoulder. He had to bite back a moan when the Elf began to move his hands.It felt too good and immediately he relaxed against Legolas.The man was his friend and someone that the Ranger trusted 100 percent. No they had never done this, but he knew Legolas was one of the very few that could read him. Closing his eyes, he also knew Legolas would be the reason Aragorn accepted being here and that they were trapped.

"Do you suppose,Legolas that it was fate that brought us together once more?" His voice was curious and a little sad as he thought back to a time where he was sure he would never see the Elf again and the way it had made him feel.Then the way he felt despite it all at seeing him again.

Being relaxed had Aragorn nodding and not even hesitating to answer truthfully though he did add a bit of a tease at the end of his words."Of course I would someone has to keep you out of trouble my friend."

Aragorn laughed and leaned further back,letting out a sigh of content at feeling himself relax almost completely.He kept his eyes closed hoping the other man did not pull away. It felt too good and almost right."Tell me Legolas, what has your time here been like so far? Other than the people you have met."

The elf was glad he'd taken the chance when Aragorn almost immediately began to relax under his touch. He continued to knead the muscles softly, pressing down with slightly more pressure on the spots that needed it, but otherwise, just trying to relax him. He leaned forward, his bare chest pressing against Aragorn's as he peered around the human's shoulder and looked into his face as best he could.

"Fate, or the will of the Valar?" He laughed again. "Either way, it seems that you have not been successful at getting rid at me. And, alas! I am stuck with your companionship. Oh, that the planet had brought Elrond or Saruman instead of the human Ranger Aragorn!"

He was obviously teasing, as he often did. Even when he'd first met the human Ranger, he'd said things like that to him. It was just how he was. People who were around him long enough got used to the gentle teasing. He only laughed when Aragorn got him back with his own teasing.

"Oh, very clever! You are living proof of the fact that humans do, in fact, have a sense of humor! Even the stoic Rangers of the north are not entirely humorless..."

As the human leaned forward, he let his fingers slide down from his shoulders onto his bared back, pressing his fingers into the tense muscles further down. His chin, he leaned on the Ranger's strong shoulder so they could better talk.

"It has been strange, I will freely admit. I went rafting with a group of people that had never been before, and they did not know what they were doing. That was fun, though... and the rooms here, you can make them look however you wish. All you must do is concentrate, and it appears as you want it! There are many strange things here, Aragorn, that most others appear to take for granted. I met a Wizard the other day, like Gandalf! But he came from a place that magic was much more common, I believe... and I met another Ranger who has befriended a woman with pink hair. He was called Marcus, and he reminded me of you... we went swimming with Dolphins." He frowned, trying to remember what else he had done. "Oh. And I was followed to my room by a strange man in a hat, who kissed me and hugged me. I think that is all... I have had days unlike any I have had previously in my life."

It was honestly a good thing that he had been brought here in a way. No one else would ever understand the Elf. He had been around him a while and he still had a time understanding himat times.

Smirking ,Aragorn decided to rile the Elf up. Yes he had a sense of humor but well he didn't show it very often. As he began his tirade, Aragorn began to make snoring sounds. Honestly,Aragorn had never been playful before. But he was so relaxed he just gave into it.He continued to pretend to sleep until legolas began to go into his tales of the people he had met.

It was the last that had Aragorn frowning not sure as too why. It was not like Legolas was anything more than a friend. So why did it bother him so? Shrugging Aragorn sat up and turned his eyes on the Elf and smiled softly as he pulled away."Thank you... I actually don't feel as tense now my friend."

Legolas blinked disbelievingly at his human friend before pulling away and just staring at him with wide eyes. Clearly, he hadn't expected such a response from the normally stern and grim Aragorn, and it took his brain a few seconds to catch up. So, for quite a few moments, he simply sat there and looked at his friend with an expression somewhat similar to a deer caught in the headlights of a car.

Finally, though, a smile twitched at the corners of his lips, and suddenly, he was laughing. Not that this was unusual for the elf. He was nearly always laughing about something. But this, he actually had a hard time controlling. It was just so unexpected! Shaking his head, laughing so hard that tears actually formed in his eyes, he stood up and checked on his clothes.

"Well done, for a human."

The clothing was relatively dry, so he started pulling it on, quickly dressing himself again. Curious about the weather, he looked outside through a window. Nothing had changed, nor did it look to him like the storm would abate anytime soon. Finally, he turned around to face his friend.

"The storm has a beauty all of it's own, does it not? And yet, we cannot stay here forever. We are going to have to brave the weather again. Which means, I fear, that you must put on your shirt."

A mischievious smile, and the elf turned around to look back out the window. It was so rainy it would be a challenge to even find the main building, but he and Aragorn were both superb trackers and he was sure somehow they would manage.

It was not very often that one got something over on the Elf.Especially not Aragorn as he normally never tried.But this time,breaking his normal,calm and stoic posture was worth it to hear that laughter ringing in the room almost as if it were music. Not that Legolas didn't laugh often, because he did.But this was different because it was something he had done to make it happen. Odd that it meant that much to him.

"I learned a few things from our travels,my friend." Aragorn spoke as he sat up,smiling at the Elf as he stood. The weather was raging outside and Aragorn had a feeling it was only going to get worse. But he and Legolas could weather it, they had been through so much worse than this already.

As the Elf began to get dressed, Aragorn stood and went to retrieve his shirt glad that it was dry. After once more getting dressed, Aragorn grabbed for his sword and replaced in its holder upon his belt.

"It's a true beauty and don't sound so disappointed about me having to put my shirt back on,my friend." Aragorn smirked before going back to semi seriousness."Well my friend now is as good as time as any to make a run for it."

As Legolas dressed himself, he glanced over at Aragorn who was doing the same. Giving him a small, enigmatic smile, he strapped his knives around his waist, and grabbed for his bow that had been drying on the wall. His clothing was mostly dry, but he knew that wasn't going to last for very long.

He had the same thought as his good friend did, that now was the best time to run to the main building. There was no sense in waiting here any longer, and the way the wind was wailing around the small hut, he had trouble imagining how it could withstand it for very long. They'd best be out of there before it was blown right into the ocean. As much as he'd enjoyed swimming with Marcus, he doubted it would be the same experience in a storm like this.

"Shall we, my friend? I think I will run to the building our rooms are in. Follow as you can." With one more look over his shoulder, he raised an eyebrow before pushing open the door and almost being knocked off his feet by a gust of wind. "Perhaps, when we get there, your clothing will be wet again and you will be forced to remove your shirt again."

With that mysterious comment, the elf winked at his friend, not really sure why he'd said something like that. Or perhaps, he knew exactly why he had. But either way, he darted out into the wind and rain, sprinting as best he could towards the building that housed them both.

Aragorn finished redressing himself and looked at Legolas. This was going to be a challenge seeings as how the wind was picking up harder now, throwing sand around and making visibility even worse. The rain was coming down hard and fast. Beginning to blur the line between beach and ocean as the waves began to ride further and further up the shore. But while, Aragorn was human, he was still a great tracker so with Legolas leading him he would be able to find his way.

He had just made it to the door when Legolas threw the comment his way. It had the Ranger stopping in his tracks and raising a brow then eventually staring at the back of the Elf. It took him a few minutes to shake himself from his thoughts and wonderment of why the Elf had said it, to realize that Legolas was already running to get toward the building that would house them. He made a mental note to question the Elf later.

Taking a deep breath, steadying him for the run ahead, Aragorn stepped off the porch and into the driving rain and winds. Immediately Aragorn was soaked from head to toe, the wind throwing his hair and his body about carelessly and the rain making his hair stick to his face and neck. By the time he got to his room he was sure he would be bringing half the rain back with him. His body began to tremble as the cold began to sink into his skin right down to the bones. But he didn't think about it. He managed, quite easily to catch up to the Elf, flashing him a smile as they made it to the building that housed them. Seeking shelter under the awning of the building before looking at the key Legolas had given him, Aragorn looked at the soaking wet Elf and laughed.

"I believe my friend we should retreat to our rooms before we catch our deaths of cold." The comment the Elf had said earlier was back in his mind so with a smirk, Aragorn looked at Legolas before adding. "I believe you were also right in the matter that I am going to need to take off my shirt and it would appear my leggings too."

It was cold, and wet, and windy, but the elf didn't waver for a second as he pushed open the door to the dormitory building they were both housed in. Though water dripped from his clothing and hair, he wasn't shaking. He didn't really feel the cold, not in the same way humans do. Even while on the cruel mountain Caradhras, he'd been the only one who had never been in any danger of freezing. Him, and probably Gandalf, too.

He stood back to let the Ranger go in first, and followed him in. Aragorn was in no better shape than he was, he suspected, and was probably even worse off. He knew the human didn't have the same lack of regard for the cold that he did. But it did sort of amuse him, seeing Aragorn with his hair hanging down around his face. He looked sort of like a drowned rat.

"Follow me, I shall show you where our rooms are... and then, we will both be at liberty to take our clothing off to get warm and dry once more."

One more, that enigmatic smile crossed the elven features, and he gave the human a bit of a strange look before turning back around and heading through the hallways, now familiar to him from use. Once there, he stopped and turned back to his friend. It really was good to see him again. It would have been good to see anyone from his world, but the human Ranger was especially welcome. Though they were very different in some ways, they were also very similiar. Not that that particularly accounted for the comments they'd been tossing back and forth. About that, he was fairly clueless. It was a relief, though, to have Aragorn here, that much was certain. Maybe that had nothing to do about it.

"Well, then, we have a decision to make, my drowned rat friend. Are we going to your room or mine? Or is this where we part?"

He frowned a little at the last words, not really ready to give his friend up now that he'd found him again. But if Aragorn needed the time, he would give it to him. He knew the human liked to think about things, and maybe he just wanted time alone. There would be time in the days ahead, he knew, to show his friend everything he wanted to, the wonders of the place they had been brought to. He was an elf. There was no need to hurry. He would try to be patient.

Aragorn was shaking harder by the time he finally entered the building. There seemed to be a rush of cold air that greeted him first. But soon he was starting to feel a slight bit of heat. Moving a hand, the Ranger attempted to remove his hair that was matted to his face, but it was to no avail. Giving up he looked to his friend and raised a brow at his comment.

The Ranger was not sure where these comments that they were tossing back and forth to each other were coming from. Sure, they had joked around before. Or more correctly, Legolas threw barbs and Aragorn pretended to be offended and stern. Though deep inside he just wanted to laugh. And sometimes in private, when it was just the two of them, just like earlier, Aragorn would give in. He would allow a different side of himself to show but only to this Elf. He seemed to be able to be himself around Legolas, no matter who his self was at the time. But this, this seemed different. Almost dangerous, yet at the same time there was something else that Aragorn could not name.

"It would seem that, taking them off will be in order. However since I didn't exactly plan this, I am afraid that I have nothing with me to change into." Again, Aragorn had no idea how this all worked. He was taken in the middle of a battle for God's sake. Plus maybe he would need to go off in search of something and that would probably, hopefully divert his train of thoughts to going to seeing Legolas naked again. Dangerous, indeed. Yet also interesting.

The thought of leaving the company of his friend, didn't exactly please Aragorn. He spent many a night agonizing over what had happened to the impish Elf and now they were reunited and it was almost as if Aragorn was afraid. Afraid that if he left Legolas, the Elf would once more disappear or this was a dream. Or even an affect of a battle wound that any minute he would come from this dream and realize that he was in the middle of the battle field. Telling himself it was just to keep an eye on the other man so he didn't go disappearing again, Aragorn raised a wet and shaking hand to place it on the shoulder of the Elf.

"I am afraid my friend, that I must keep you within my sight just a bit longer. Don't want you disappearing again." Then he paused and said thoughtfully, this had been an afterthought but also true. " I also need to know that this is real and not some dream."

He frowned thoughtfully as he looked at his companion, who was no more wet than he himself was, but much colder. Likely, if he let him go off on his own, he would not take care of himself, and end up with one of those illnesses that seemed the plague humans. So while Aragorn was unwilling to let him go out of his sight, Legolas was equally unwilling. He laughed once more as he let his eyes roam over the human Ranger, unable to resist the urge to tease him.

"It is just as well, since I also have no desire to let you leave my sight. After all, you would likely end up ill. Damp, cold, and I could easily picture you deciding today would be an excellent day to practice your archery skills, in case you ever need them in a storm in the future."

He pushed the door to his room open, thinking that would be the best bet. After all, Aragorn didn't know how things worked here, he didn't know he could control how his room looked, or what it produced. Later, he would show him, but right now he needed to get the human warm. He entered his room and looked around with a thoughtful look on his face. The woodland clearing was beautiful, but not suited for warming someone up. He concentrated, and the forest faded away. In its place was a fair copy of Elronds house in Rivendell. It would be familiar to the human, he thought, and would also be warm and comfortable.

His tree bed had turned into a wide, soft elven style resting place, for elves do not truly sleep but they do need rest every day. He hooked the blanket off the bed, which he was pleased to note was very warm looking, and holding it in his arms, he turned around to look at his Ranger friend.

"There are ways to get you warm, if you would just take off your clothes so that I may show you..."

Another one of those strange comments they'd been throwing back and forth! Normally, Legolas insulted the human, he didn't do... whatever it was he was doing. But he was so pleased to see him here, to finally not be alone, and it had changed things somehow. Of course, he didn't mean it the way it sounded. He would simply wrap the human in the blanket to warm him. Aragorn was, after all, in love with and commited to the Evenstar, Arwen.

Still, he had to admit to himself, this was a fun game to play. Perhaps dangerous, but he'd never shied away from danger.

Aragorn had to smile and chuckle to himself at the Elf.Truthfully he knew the Ranger quite well. And Aragorn though he would never show it would be fascinated enough by this place to ignore the weather and the fact that he could possibly get sick. If he wasn't already. he was still trembling. When it was decided without so much speaking that they would be retiring to Legolas' room,Aragorn followed him once the door was opened.

"You are right my friend. I often times forget my limitations as a human.That is why I must keeo you around to remind me." There was laughter in his words and within his eyes as he walked in further. His eyes took in the room around him and Aragorn was amazed.

"You were right in the room being whatever you need it to be."His eyes danced around the room taking in every aspect of it, noting how this would indeed be fitting of his Elfin friend. Then his eyes grew wide as he watched the room turn into something strangely familiar and yet still seemingly out of place. And all before his eyes. He was amazed and in wonderment.

"another way you were not kidding." He smiled as he looked at his friend.he was grateful that the Elf was trying to make him comfortable."Thank you my friend."

He looked down at himself, water dripped from his clothing and they clung quite uncomfortably to his body. he raised a hand, once more attempting to peel his hair from his face only making a little progress. The same with trying too peel his clothing from his person. His brow raised as another of those dangerous yet interesting barbs was tossed his way.

Raising his head he looked at the Elf,noting the blanket within his hands and smiled,nodding his head but saying nothing more. He was soaked,he was human and prone to illnesses, they were within Legolas' room not his own and he was comfortable enough around the Elf to remove these clothes that were quite uncomfortable now.

Peeling his shirt from his body and over his head, Aragorn looked at Legolas. "Where my friend should I place the wet garments." He then gave pause, placing the shirt on a near by table for now as he began to work on his leggings."You my friend might not realize the cold, but perhaps you would be more comfortable out of those clothes then we can talk about you showing me those ways to keepwarm."

Of course he knew how it sounded. It was another strange comment. He knew it might be wrong,he did indeed have Arwen within his heart. But he hadn't thought of her.In fact he was shocked yet not to realize that his mind had been occupied by the war,destroying the ring, Legolas' going missing and worried for his well being. In fact she had been gone from his mind for quite sometime. In fact he had not even thought of her while he reunited with Legolas,until just now. But it was only a moment and almost an afterthought.

He peeled his leggings down his legs, thankful for the warmth that seemed to hit him once the cold clothing was gone. he stood there before the Elf, naked as he moved to grab the blanket.

Legolas raised his hands to his hair that, while wet, was still perfectly groomed. It was an elven thing, no matter what was going on around them, even in the midst of battle, their hair looked amazing. He squeezed some water out of it, and then started working on his tunic. It was slow going, though, with the blanket still in his hand. So he tossed it to Aragorn, once the human was naked, and then worked on getting his own damp clothing off.

"Yes, well, anytime you need reminders of the limitations of the human race, I would be only too happy to provide that service to you. You're all ugly, uncouth, rude barbarians, and..." He leaned over and sniffed at the other man before smirking. "You smell foul, as well. Still, I suppose you cannot help it, and I like you despite all that."

Again, it was the sort of comment that Legolas would pretty much only make to someone that he was close enough to that they would know he was joking. There was a merry twinkle in his eye that he was sure Aragorn could read easily. And just to make sure he knew it was a joke, he laughed as he began stripping off his own clothing.

"The clothes you may place anywhere you wish, for this is not a room I am familiar with. You saw the choice I made in regards to my room. I will likely change it back later, so I care little for where you put your clothing."

To demonstrate, he flung his shirt randomly away from him, and it landed in a damp little heap near the wall. The rest of his clothing got no more reverence, but of course, he knew that new clothes would be provided when he needed them. He was in no hurry for that, though. The only things he was remotely careful with were his bow and quiver of arrows, which he hung to dry, and his knives, which he kept nearby. He had recently been in a war, after all, and old habits die hard. Especially with elves. Aragorn was no threat to him, of course, but anything else could happen.

He'd already started to peel his clothing off when Aragorn had made the suggestion, and it caused another smile to come to his lips. It was pretty much inevitable that he would respond in exactly the way he did, as he turned and started walking across the room towards his Ranger friend. He was nude, but not at all concerned about that fact.

"So eager to get me out of those garments... your concern is quite touching. Tell me, Elessar, did you miss me when I was taken?"

He stopped in front of the human and reached out for him. At the last minute, though, he stopped himself from his apparent course of hugging him, and instead, straightened the blanket he had wrapped around him, which had begun to slip off one of his shoulders.

"Are you still cold?"

Aragorn took the blanket from the other man and placed it around his shoulders, wrapping it around his chilled body. But immediately he felt warm and found he was thankful that Legolas was always semi prepared even if he didn't realize it. He watched as the other man peeled his clothes off and chuckled at his comments about humans.

"Oh my dear Legolas, tell me how you truly feel about us inferior humans." It was a jest. Truly there was no offense in his voice as he spoke. He was quite used to this from the Elf and he often times found it amusing. Even now he did. Though he suspected that also had a lot to do with the fact that he was trying to distract himself from looking at his friend, standing their naked in front of him.

He was sure the Elf was going to reach for him and he found he was disappointed when he did not. And he sucked in a breath when Legolas brushed his shoulder to fix the blanket. Then he frowned at the question.How did he explain it? How did he tell this Elf just how he felt when he had woken to find Legolas gone?

"It was quite a shock to wake up to find you gone, my friend. I had thought you were taken or that you had wandered off and gotten hurt or lost. " He paused laughing at the notion of Legolas getting lost. Then he frowned heavily once more as he got serious. "Worst yet, I had thought you were killed. I didn't know what to do. "

And it was the truth. The thought of not having Legolas near him or him being killed had did something to him that he couldn't explain. His shivered but not from the cold as he let his fear and emotions hit him hard. Something he had never allowed before.

"No, my friend I am actually warm."

The blanket didn't seem to want to stay up. It kept slipping off one or other of the human's shoulders, but Legolas was not stupid, and had an easy solution for that. He simply placed both hands on Aragorn's shoulders, holding the blanket in place. It worked quite well, and also, as a bonus, he was able to touch the human and realize that he was actually, seriously, here on Mirage with him. He'd been getting used to the idea of being alone, not having anyone from his own world. Aragorn, well, he had changed all that. It was good to feel him solid beneath his hands. Also, despite what he'd said before, Aragorn smelled pretty much as far from bad as was physically possible. Why was he just noticing this now?

"You may always count on me for that, my friend... and I will always be able to come up with new and inventive ways to inform you of such. Tell me... why do I bother with you? I know there must be some reason..."

The words were cruel, almost, yet the tone was light, and he knew that Aragorn wouldn't take it seriously. He never did. It was somewhat of a running joke between them. Although Legolas didn't truly have much use for humans, it was more because of lack of experience than any true dislike for the short lived race. Aragorn was different, anyway, and even if he had hated every single human on Middle Earth, he would have made an exception for his Ranger friend.

"I would not have strayed, Aragorn. I was to come with you on the Paths of the Dead, and I never would have turned away from that. If I had, I never could live it down. Gimli would see to that." He smiled impishly at his friend. "I worried what you... what all my companions would think when I disappeared. Would I be thought a coward? Or would you all mourn and think me dead?"

Despite Aragorn's words, the human was shaking, and Legolas wrapped his arms around him in an effort to warm him with his own body. Just like the Ranger, he thought, to state that he was warm when he was still shaking. Sometimes, he thought, even Elrond had nothing on this human in his arms as far as stubborness went.

"Foolish human, I can feel you shake. Here... I shall help."

Deliberately, he stepped closer, snatching the blanket that he had been holding up as it began to fall from Aragorn's body. Deftly, he stepped in so he was right against his friend, and wrapped the blanket around them both. Their body heat combined would, he knew, warm the human up faster. It felt amazing, actually, to be this close to him. He wasn't allowed to feel that way, but it was true nevertheless. Who can help what they feel? He would never do anything about it, of course. This man belonged to another.

Aragorn found he was shaking again but it had nothing to do with being cold.It was the touches to his skin from the Elf that had him shaking and desperately trying not to ask for more. He had never crossed a line he shouldn't. Not in any matter but certainly not in matters of the heart. He belonged to another, true. He could use the excuse she was not here, for it was true. He also got the feeling this was not something that well he could explain. This was so much more complicated and had been for quite a long time. The Elf held a very special in his heart and he always would.

"I know you will never pass up a chance to remind me. I am counting on it, Legolas." Aragorn smiled at him then looked away. "You keep me around to amuse yourself."

Sighing softly, Aragorn nodded. He knew the truth. Legolas would have never left. He would have finished this task out to the end with Aragorn. He knew that. "I know my friend. You had no choice. I know that now, but we didn't know it then." He then paused and frowned heavily. " We believed you had been killed. We knew you would never turn your back on us or run from the journey, Legolas."

Sighing and biting his lip when Legolas stepped into the blanket, Aragorn wrapped it around them by the means of wrapping his arms around Legolas' waist, pulling him closer. Immediately feeling the warmth. He would not do anything else despite how he might be feeling on the inside. He couldn't look at Legolas as eh spoke, chuckling lightly though he didn't quite feel it.

"You always did know when I was lying. Humans can't quite lie very well."

The blond elf wrapped his arms around the humans neck, holding him tightly, willing warmth into his body. Surely, there was no rule against enjoying this, was there? Aragorn was, after all, very good looking for a human. Or, to be honest, for anyone. He was just attractive, period. So being held by him wasn't going to be unpleasant. He smiled, as usual, and looked up into the blue eyes of the human. So weird to have to look up to a human, but then, Aragorn was much taller than most humans.

"Oh, yes, of course. That must be the reason..."

Biting back any number of inappropriate comments, the elf contented himself with simply holding his friend, and if he got a secret little thrill out of the fact that Aragorn was very naked, and still a little damp, that was no one's business but his own. He would certainly never tell anyone. For one thing, Elrond would have him drawn and quartered... not that the wise elf was here, of course.

"It is not such an easy thing to kill an elf, and especially not me. If someone tried, I would be forced to kill them first. I wish Riddick would try to kill me..." He grinned impishly once more.

"Humans cannot do anything very well, but we forgive you for it because you do, in fact, amuse us. Or, at the very least, you amuse me."

Was this anything than harmless? Just two friends getting close so one could offer comfort to the other? Aragorn kept telling himself this was harmless. Nothing more than Legolas trying to help. That was all it was. So what if he enjoyed it a little? SO what if he wished that it could be more than what it was? Well only it was a small wish, deep down inside that Aragorn didn't even fully accept.

Aragorn was feeling better but not wanting this to end, he kept it to himself. He rested his chin on top of Legolas' head for one small moment. The joys of being taller than the Elf though barely just. Sighing in contnt, Aragorn moved them back toward the nearest piece of furniture, a small couch, making sure to still stay as close as possible to Legolas, still pretending to need and not want his warmth. Feeling his knees hitting th eback of the couch, Aragorn sat down bringing Legolas very close with him.

He chuckled softly, shaking his head at Legolas. This Riddick whoever he was, surely seemed to get under Legolas' skin and it amused Aragorn. Since the last person to do that was the Dwarf. "I believe my Elvin Prince, we should probably keep you away from this Riddick. "

Once more he laughed, knowing that while it seemed harsh, it was truly just a barb coming from Legolas and it made this a lot easier. Being taken away from it all. Still being concerned about those he left behind. They left behind. And the fact though his heart weeped for being taken from Arwen, he still couldn't bring himself to think too much about her. About the one he pledged himself to. All he could think about was the fact that somehow he had been reunited with Legolas. he wondered if there was a hidden purpose for this. For this planet to have taken him as well.

Before this moment, he would have thought it was anyone's guess if, in this very situation, Aragorn would have accepted his warmth, or pushed him away and stubbornly wanted to do it himself. The human was somewhat unpredictable. He was glad, though, for his own reasons, that Aragorn was accepting this. He didn't even let himself know just how glad he was.

It was nice, though, to have the human hold him, to feel him rest his chin on top of his head. A little too nice, and deep down, he knew it. But he didn't stop him or pull away, and it had nothing to do with comforting or warming the Ranger. Before he had much of a chance to think on this, he was being pulled over to the couch. When Aragorn sat, Legolas sat too... right in the human's lap. Appropriate? No. Fun? Definately. And for the elf, that was usually enough. He kept his arms around Aragorn's neck, holding on to him.

"Riddick had best keep himself away from me..."

But there was no real venom in his tone, because he was simply too light-hearted to take anything seriously, even a rivalry/enmity with Riddick. It was similar, in a way, to what he'd been through with the dwarf. That had ended alright, but then, Gimli was basically a decent being. Riddick, he rather thought, was a different story, and he somehow doubted he would become friends with the bald man in the same way he had with Gimli.

But it wasn't really important, he realized. Riddick was barely a blip on his horizon at this point. All that mattered was Aragorn, this link to his past, who was now all he had of the future. With a soft sigh, the elf seemed almost serious as he suddenly shifted and rested his head on the human's shoulder. Allowed or not, it was just so good to have him here. And he figured if the human objected, he could always push him away.

"There is much I would show you, Elessar. Many wonders exist in this strange land. Many I have seen, but surely, many are yet to be discovered. Will you share this with me?"

He wondered, even as he spoke, if he was actually begging the human. Surely not... but there was a slight desparation in his mind to keep Aragorn with him. He didn't let it into his voice, though. Idly, he wondered if Aragorn could ever truly be happy here, in a world that was so peaceful.

It took him quite a long time to realize what had just happened. He hadn't realized when he sat, pulling Legolas with him that he had pulled the Elf into his lap. Funny how even when it did hit him, he was not in a hurry to make an amends. He found no need to. His mind immediately began to think about what this meant. Why he was allowing this to happen? Why he wasn't pulling away.? Why he wasn't making Legolas leave his resting place in his lap?

More importantly he was wondering why it was he was holding Legolas tighter, pulling him closer, while still trying to keep the blanket wrapped around them. Even as he felt a small amount of sweat rolling down his shoulders more from pure effort to not move and shift the naked Elf too much on his lap, not from the heat.

Despite the impish side of Legolas, the Elf had proven himself many times to be valuable to Aragorn and his friendship was something Aragorn cherished. He just wondered now if it had somehow managed to blossom into something more without him knowing it? It would explain so much.

It was as Legolas sifted, placing his head on Aragorn's shoulder that he came from his thoughts and tilted his head downward to look at Legolas. He placed a soft kiss to the top of the Elf's head hoping to pass it off as nothing more than comfort. He sighed softly and wondered how his answer would sound to the softly spoken question that held so much within it that it almost overwhelmed Aragorn with how it made him feel.

He knew this would take some getting used to. Being in a peaceful place when it was not something he was used to by any means. But he had two choices. One was to be miserable which would make things hell for him and any one around him. Or two , he could accept what ever it was that brought him here with Legolas and thank whatever it was silently every day. Perhaps... No. These were dangerous thoughts for sure.

"Of course I will, my Elvin Prince." He paused and looked away at something not seen nor truly there on the wall. " There is nothing else I would rather do."
