Rose was bored. Beyond bored. Although there were many things to do here, she still wasn't too fond of being stuck in the one place. She hadn't gotten to know many people, and was starting to regret that. She adored being with the Doctor, of course, but sometimes it was nice to have other people to talk to.

So that's what she decided to do. Go make friends. She saw a few groups of people out within the vines, and decided that it would be a good place to start. After all, everyone had to be friendly here, otherwise the planet would have been worse off.

It was very relaxing, she soon discovered. People smiled at her as she walked past, but none of them seemed very willing to strike up a conversationg with her. So she kept walking, completely lost in thought. Of course, since she was so lost in thought, she never noticed the other person walking towards her, and was only jolted out of her thoughts when she collided with them.

"Oh I'm so sorry!" she quickly rushed.

He nodded thoughtfully. "It is quite impossible to know everything about everything, even for an elf who will live many years before going to Valinor. Elrond, though he knows much, had no knowledge of these... planets. Or, if he did, he did not share such knowledge with me." He laughed playfully. "Perhaps, I know something that even the very wise on my world do not... I would have such fun playing with them if I went back!"

As she spoke, he kept his arm linked lightly in hers and stopped, turning toward her. His eyes were very, very serious as he looked at her. "If you love, Lady Rose, you must tell it. Love is not something that can be kept inside." Clearly, he was speaking from experience.

"After all, if he loves you as well, then how will you be aware of this unless you ask him?" He pondered that for a moment before taking off through the vines, still holding her arm and tugging her along with him. "Perhaps he is waiting, wondering the same things that you are."

Rose sighed, trying to think of the best way to explain the Doctor, and her occasional doubt about his feelings for her.

"He once said to me that I can spend my life with him, but he can't with me. He'll live for thousands of years, I get hardly anything compared to that. He goes on alone, and when I die..." she sighed again, looking at her feet. "When I die, if I tell him I love him and if he lets himself love me he'll hurt far more. I can't let that happen."

It might have sounded needlessly complicated to some people, but Legolas understood all too well. He dropped her arm, but grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the vines and over to a small tree nearby. There, he sat down and looked up at her, clearly expecting her to do the same.

"Lady Rose, there is a story I would tell you that will perhaps help you. From the perspective that, perhaps, the Doctor might see things from, which may make things easier."

Somehow managing to be graceful despite the fact that he was sitting cross-legged and looking up at her, he waited.

	Rose listened as he spoke, hoping he would continue. When he didn't, she finally drew her eyes to him, noticing the expectant look on his face. Smiling a little, she stepped towards him, sitting down next to him. "Go on then. Make things easier." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He hesitated for a moment, not because he was unsure of himself, but because he was trying to put his thoughts into an order that he could express in a way that she could understand. Once his thoughts were organized, he looked at her as she settled down.

"I am an elf, Lady Rose. I shall live until the end of the world, if not longer. Nothing can truly kill me. So, you see, your Doctor and I have much in common." He looked at her to see if she understood, before he kept going.

"I am in love with a human. Though he is of a long-lived race, he will still die after a couple of hundred years." He sighed softly. "Lady Rose, in my world, humans and elves rarely mix, but every so often, there is a human so intruiging that they gain the attention of an elf. But, for that elf, it is always worth it. The energy and unpredictablity of the humans add a depth to the short time that they spend together, that it is never matched at any other time in the long life of the elf." He reached out and tilted her chin up so that she met his eyes.

"Have you not thought that, perhaps for your Doctor, it would be the same?"

Rose listened with fascination to his tale. So the Doctor was similar to Legolas, in the way that they both would live a long time. Longer than those who would love them. Unlike she would have done, she was not shocked when he mentioned loving a man, like she was when she met Jack. She was beginning to learn that not everyone went by Earth's traditional standards. Especially since the man before her wasn't Human. She looked away as he spoke, not wanting to make him feel to uncomfortable, but when he tilted her chin up, her eyes met his easily.

"I'm unsure. He's stubborn, very stubborn. And he loves Humans, adores Earth. I don't know, I might just be another human to him."

To Legolas, it was forever a source of bewilderment that humans had this hang up about same sex relationships. In his world, while it wasn't common, at least among the elves it was accepted. He actually usually ended up forgetting that it was such a big deal to so many people. So he didn't even think about hiding it.

"How can you know, though, if you do not ask?" He gently let his hand fall into his lap, but continued looking directly into her eyes. "I cannot tell you that you must do this thing, but would it not be better to know than to be living in doubt, as you are?"

	"And then be humilated when he laughs in my face?" she spoke quietly, showing her fear of being rejected by him. "I've never felt this way about anyone before, I couldn't handle my heart being broken." She held his gaze a moment, before looking away. "I can't tell him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, that is your perogative. I believe it is the right choice, but... I am not you." He shrugged and rose to his feet, bowing down at her politely.

"I have enjoyed our conversation, my Lady. We must do it again, but alas, I fear I must leave. I hope we meet again. May the Valar smile on you until we meet again."

He had enjoyed his time with her, but he did have other things to do today and, as well, it was hard to be around her. He'd hid things from his King for awhile, and she reminded him of himself. It was uncomfortable.
