The next morning…

Estel walked over his father’s room, and knocked. He walked inside once he heard Elrond call out, ‘come in’.

“How is he?” Elrond asked with concern, knowing Estel and the twins visited the princeling’s chamber.

“I do not know Adar,” Estel answered and then he added, “He would not look at us for the longest time but we finally got him to eat. Why is the king so mean to him? Is he not his Adar?”

“He is his Adar, Estel,” Elrond answered as he moved his hand through the boy’s hair. “I… I do not know why Thranduil acts this way, but I do hope that he has a good reason.”

“I hope so too Adar, I do not like to see Legolas like this…sad,” Estel lowered his head so Elrond would not see the tears that fell from his eyes. His heart hurt at his friend’s pain, he wanted to help him!

“I know ion, but there is nothing we can do. This is between the king and the prince, they are family. I am sure Thranduil will come to his senses,” Elrond tried to cheer his son.

“Have you eaten breakfast already, Ada?” Estel asked him.

“Nay, ion. Are your brothers awake?” Elrond asked. He thought he and his family would spend the day exploring Mirkwood, maybe get in some archery practice. Surely, it would divert their attention from the drama between Thranduil and his son.

“I will check, after all you never know with them!” Estel smirked then left to check on his brothers.

“Tell me about it,” Elrond grinned to himself.

Elrond walked to the dining hall and hoped to see the princeling there, along with his own sons. He wanted to see how he was doing, then speak alone with the king.

The twins were indeed there, smiling when they noticed their father, as did Estel. The king and the princeling however, were not.

“Where is Thranduil and Legolas?” Elrond asked.

“The king was here earlier but Legolas was not. I think he went to go get Legolas,” Estel answered.

In Legolas’s room…

“Legolas, ion, your friends are waiting for you in the dining hall. Now come, you need to eat, you must be starved,” the king softly said to his son.

“You hate me,” Legolas muttered. His face was turned to the window, not able to look into his father’s eyes.
