It had been a lot of fun, meeting with the woman Rose in the vineyards. He'd almost distracted himself from the fact that he had yet to talk to Aragorn. Almost, of course, being the operative word there. Really, it had been weighing on him, and he knew that he did need to track the Ranger down. They needed to have this out.

After the kidnapping would have been the best time for that, of course, but there had been no time. And, to be honest, Legolas had just been so happy to have the Ranger back that he'd let it slide, and just enjoyed the human's presence. Besides, despite his words, it was still complicated. They still were separated by race, and that was no small thing to an elf who could expect to live forever.

In the end, though, none of that mattered. It hadn't mattered to Luthien with her Beren, and he was willing to bet it hadn't mattered to Arwen with Aragorn. Something about certain humans drew elves, and though it was a union that many frowned on, once it was made, there was nothing for the elf to do about it. Without love, what's the point of living forever?

So, after waiting much longer than he should have, he made his way out of the vineyard and toward his dormitory building. Again, the butterflies started flying around his stomach, making him feel slightly ill as he made his way to Aragorn's door. Still, he looked quite calm as he raised his hand and knocked.
