Legolas' P.O.V.
Sometimes I can't stand how endlessly enthusiastic
2 year olds can be, but right now I am nothing but thankful for Thalion's
boundless energy. The house was practically silent before he woke up as Nemir
and I sat and waited to see if Ana would come home. We've had no luck in that
respect, but at least now we have a distraction. Thalion gallops around the
living room, pretending to be a knight on a horse - or maybe it's a king, I've
lost track - chasing me while I swoop and growl in imitation of a dragon. I
fall to the ground, play-wrestling with him before howling "No! No! Stop! I
surrender! You are too powerful for me" in my best dragon voice. Thalion
staggers to his feet before climbing up onto the sofa to rescue the 'damsel in
distress' that is his auntie Nemir.
"You are now rescued, My Lady" he says, giving
a rather unsure bow before falling over on the unstable sofa cushions and being
scooped up by Nemir.
"Thank you my Lord, how will I ever repay
you?" she says.
"No need to repay me, it's just what a
knight does"
Ah, so he's a knight, at least now I know.
I pick up the discarded plate from
Thalion's breakfast, abandoned when eating turned into hunting dragons, and
take it through to the kitchen before it can get smashed. I place the plate on
the kitchen table and take a moment to be alone. I rub a hand over my face.
"It'll be fine" I say "She's just punishing
me, that's all. She can be childish sometimes, she's fine"
She's
not fine the tiny voice in the back of my head
whispers she was blinded by anger and
that caused her to get into trouble. She's always getting into trouble.
"No, no she's fine"
Whatever
you say. I'm just saying, anything could have happened.
"Shut up" I snap at myself before shaking
my head, ending the conversation with my inner doubts. "You've spent far too
long with Ana, Legolas" I mutter "You've started talking to yourself like she
does"
Maybe taking a moment alone isn't the best
idea, it seems that every time I'm by myself I end up either having an argument
with the voice in my head or making myself panic.
Spending time with people it is then.
I turn around and begin to make my way back
to my energetic son and my friend, but I only make it as far as the small
corridor between the kitchen and the living room when I stop, noticing a faint
