Legolas's POV

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"What?" She asked, tilting her head so she could get a better look at him.

He continued to smile and shake his head, "Nothing, Lady Nephenee, nothing at all."

She was so clueless and he preferred it that way. She didn't understand what he meant. She didn't get the description.

It was true, for all of you who figured out who the person was. In the few weeks he had known her, he began to grow closer and closer to her. They did often meet for archery together and had begun to find out a lot about either person.

At first, he would have rather stayed in an empty locked room with a dragon than hang out with her, but now, he felt the need to.

He was into her.

So into her, it confused him greatly. He didn't understand how he could know someone for a short period of time and begin to crush on them but... It was possible, that was for sure.

It was obvious to him that she did not hate him as she did before. She had often asked for him to take a ride with her or maybe shoot some arrows. Every time she did, he was struck with hope.

He hadn't realized his feelings until the other night when Ansrin had kissed his cheek. It had bothered him for hours until the fact slapped him in the face.

He watched as Nephenee, being stubborn and not taking no for an answer, stuck her lip out, "I told you about Ansrin, now tell me why you're laughing." Though she was originally pouting, she couldn't help but smile.

He sat and debated what to say and what to keep secret. He pressed his tongue on the inside of his lip, making it bulge as he did when he was trying to think. His eyes squinted in deep thought. "Hmmm..." He clicked his tongue and smiled again, "There are things I know of that you do not notice." He responded, turning to look at her.

Nephenee's eyes widened marginally. "What things?"

She
Was
So
Clueless.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out later." He turned his eyes back to the lake. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see her reluctantly shift her position, gazing out across the water unsatisfied with his answer.

Legolas's smile soon faded as his thought train chugged on. She was leaving and he had seemed to had forgotten that... Right when he was beginning to get somewhere, she decides to leave. It grieved him, but he rose from the grass and stood, turning his stare from the lake to Nephenee. "I suppose you should want to get going..."

She seemed surprised by what he said as if she had forgotten herself.
