'thoughts' Hitching his quiver higher onto his shoulder and adjusting the strap, Legolas walked swiftly behind Glorfindel as the seneschal led him to the practice range. He sighed softly; tossing his blond hair from his face in irritation as the wind began playing with it, rolling his eyes as the Elda laughed softly at him, smiling. "Laugh it up…it isn't you the wind is playing with!" Legolas said, grinning in amusement as Glorfindel chuckled again. "Aye, that is true. But it likes you wood elves just fine." Glorfindel teased back as they finally came to the range. "Ah, here we go. Are you sure you don't want someone with you?" He asked amiably, smiling. "Nay. I need to get some frustrations out. Today's council was a farce. I see not why our dear host puts up with such meandering!" Legolas said in a burst of frustration, then sighed, shaking his head. "My apologies. I do not wish to criticize the other Elf Lords, but if this is why talks have been so slow, then no wonder Ada didn't want to come! He has less patience then I!" "And that would prove why he sent you instead of coming himself. You showed great wisdom and listening in the Council today, pen-neth. Do not judge them so harshly and have faith." Glorfindel said gently, smiling as he put a soothing hand on Legolas' shoulder in comfort. "Diole lle, mellon-nin. I will try to prove your words right." Legolas said softly, smiling up at the other blond before going out onto the plains so he could take some target practice. Glorfindel watched him go for a minute before sighing and heading back to the house to meet up with his lover. Legolas focused on the range, moving back far enough to be a challenge, then began firing his arrows in swift succession, not even blinking. He did this for several rounds, taking some time to gather his arrows back and refire them, releasing his pent-up frustration. 'Elrond warned me that it would be trying! I had no idea that they were such stubborn idiots!' he thought in disgust as he fired off another succession of arrows. He blinked suddenly as he heard applause behind him and looked over to see Elladan and Elrohir sauntering over to while applauding. "Incredible! You didn't miss a shot!" Elrohir said as he bounced over, grinning mischievously. Legolas found himself returning the grin before he knew it and relaxed. "Aye indeed, gwanur. But it seemed so intense. Could it be our prince is a bit stressed?" Elladan added slyly, grinning as Legolas cocked an eyebrow at him as they came over. "I know not what you mean, meldir. However, if you would like, I wouldn't mind having a shooting match with you. I'd like to see how fair the Imladrian Elves against we of the Mirkwood." Legolas replied flippantly, then grinned as the twins grinned widely. "Your challenge has been made and accepted! Prepare thyself!" Elrohir responded melodramatically, grinning as Legolas laughed and relaxed even more. The twins got their bows out and nocked, then all three decided on what to aim at. They each took turns firing, finding that they were all very evenly matched, which made for an excellent game. They challenged each other randomly, laughing or jesting as they relaxed and let their stresses out for the day. After a while, they packed up and took to walking the trees, talking amiably about many things: their lives growing up, their families, and their homes. All three seemed to come to a silent concession not to mention the Council and its troubles that day. They eventually made it back in time to get changed and ready for dinner and promised to meet up at the Fire Hall, where a grand dinner was going to be held. Legolas found himself actually even humming lightly as he returned to his rooms to get ready, donning a silver and green tunic that swept down over his hips, while underneath he wore a pair of green leggings. He rebraided his hair, adding in some clips from his mother to decorate the flaxen silk before going over and putting on his silver band to show his status. It was a braided band with tiny flecks of white gold mingling in it, while a single emerald leaf trimmed the center. Satisfied, he grabbed his boots and put them on before heading for the fire hall. He met up with Calenglîr on the way and they chatted as they walked towards the formal dining hall. Once there, Legolas found himself looking around the room, searching for the twins. He frowned slightly when he didn't see either of them, but then shrugged it off as he spoke to his best friend while they made their way to sit near Elrond. Elrond smiled softly at them both and nodded at them as they sat down. They both nodded back then began chatting amiably with the Peredhel Lord and his two advisors, Erestor and Glorfindel. Neither noticed the lithe movements of two Elves as they came in just before dinner started, nor the gray eyes of the twins as they silently watched Legolas throughout dinner. After dinner came a time of dance and music as Imladris showed their honored guests the true times of joy and peace. Many an Elf maiden asked Legolas to dance and the young prince found himself almost constantly dancing. He found though that he tired of the boring flirtatious chatter and, at the first sign of a break, snuck out onto the surrounding balcony. Sighing in relief, the Mirkwood prince leaned his head against the cool marble pillar he was near as he watched the stars. He smiled softly and closed his eyes as one of his favorite tunes floated out, surrounding him in its light airy tones and soothing him. He hummed softly along, mixing in the harmony his mother would always sing when this song played as he took in the peaceful surroundings. He heard the soft shift of feet and robes near him, but didn't move. Lavender and the soft scent of pine tickled his nose and he felt a gentle smile come unwittingly to his lips as he relaxed even more. "Elbereth painted a lovely sight this night. Don't you think so, lirimaer?" Elladan's voice was gentle as he and Elrohir came to stand next to Legolas, though they didn't come too close. "Aye. Her happiness shimmers down onto us like dust." Legolas whispered softly as he looked up at the sky filled with twinkling stars. "We saw you vanish…very wise of you, meldir." Elrohir said teasingly as he tilted his head to look at Legolas, who smiled back. "Maidens are sweet…until they go too far. Parties tend to bore me, though I must say that Lord Elrond does throw an excellent one." The fair prince replied as he nuzzled the warming marble. He closed his eyes and began humming again to the tune that surrounded them in soothing melodies and harmonies. He felt a warmth move closer to him, then heard a soft tenor join his, weaving a melody along with his softly. Soon after, a gentle baritone joined the twin songs, softly interweaving among their harmonies as they sang the song. With a soft sigh, Legolas broke the trance he seemed to have fallen into as the music ended and applause along with laughter floated out from the hall. He looked over and locked eyes with the twins, all reading the other to see what they would find with each other. Slowly, he held his hands out and they reached out as well. Their fingers met in-between, lacing together as they watched each other carefully. Slowly, the twins moved closer, bringing up the hands they held captured with their own to their chests as they drew to Legolas' side. Watching them silently, Legolas felt a soft smile cross his lips as they wrapped their other arms around his waist or back, holding him close. He leaned his head onto Elladan's chest, smiling even more as Elrohir laid his own head amidst the flaxen silk crowning Legolas' head. He felt a soft press upon his head and relaxed with a soft sigh, letting their presence soothe his mind of all the troubles that were out there, waiting to strike. After a few minutes, he pulled back slowly so he wouldn't startle them, then smiled endearingly at them before kissing their palms and releasing their hands. He winked at them as they both cocked identical eyebrows in query at him, then they both watched as he all but glided back into the hall and the party going on. "Gwanur…I do believe that he is playing with us." Elrohir said as he leaned into his brother, watching the lithe form of the Mirkwood prince return to the dance floor once again, this time with Arwen. "Aye, brother…I believe you are right. We shall have to play along, but on our terms." Elladan replied softly and they smirked up at each other in pleasure at the thought. Returning to the party, they continued to enjoy the night, but knew that things had only just begun for the Mirkwood prince.
