Legolas was having a great time, he would readily admit that. He laughed as the quick-flowing river pulled them along, and though the raft shuddered as it approached the white water, he was unconcerned. He was absolutely convinced that he could stay on the craft, so what was the use of a life jacket? As the speed of the water increased, Legolas laughed once more, his eyes sparkling with delight that he didn't even remotely bother hiding. The girl, Brigitte, had sprayed them all with water, but on him, it was only a fine mist that made his skin and hair faintly glow, and was quite refreshing on the warm day.
"Hold on tight now, friends! This is going to be a bumpy ride!"
He spared a quick glance for the teenager, wondering if she'd be able to hold on. The older woman, though, seemed quite competant, and would surely grab her if needed. Still, he was fairly certain he was the only one who'd actually done this before, so he kept a close eye on all of them as the river swept them along. Austin, he noted, was doing an excellent job, which wasn't anything that the elf would have expected from the odd man. But he shrugged and let it go. People, even humans, could clearly always surprise you.
Everything was about to be put to the test as the lightweight, but sturdy, raft was swept into the first of the rapids. Legolas, his sharp eyes best for the task, found submerged rocks and pushed with his paddle away from them, and otherwise, just laughed as he helped guide the raft through the swift moving water. This was a whole lot of fun!
