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.

	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.
