Chapter Thirty Three- The Party

"Good morning, my love", Legolas whispered into my ear.
I smiled, my eyes still shut, before turning to wrap my arms round him.
"Morning", i said sleepily.
"I have never seen an elf sleep as much as you do", he chuckled.
"In Imladris we get up when we want", i groaned into my pillow.
He smiled before getting up and changing into slivery- grey long sleeved tunic and dark leggings.
"Meleth, you cannot stay there all day", he laughed whilst walking to the bed.
"Please, two more minutes", i moaned, by body spread out across the bed.
He reached hand out, i held it and he helped me get up.

"I have a surprise for you my love", he said softly, still holding my hand to the draws.
"I said no more gifts", i laughed.
"It is your birthday soon though, so i have prepared a small gathering", he smiled.
"Legolas, we don't need to count birthdays", i laughed.
"But i want to , please", he said with his puppy eyes.
I could never refuse his blue eyes.
"Okay, but you promsie it is a small gathering?", i said with raised eyebrows.
His idea of small was very different to mine.
"Yes yes", he brushed off before opening my draws.

"It's fine love, i can i get someone to dress me later", i said with a yawn.
He ignored me and got out a sage green gown with a pull over silk shawl.
"Legolas, when did you get this". i asked in confusion.
"I got more gowns made for you", he smiled, laying down the dress on the bed behind us.
"I know these are more like the ones you wear in Rivendell", he continued.
The Woodland Realm gowns were a lot different to the ones i would wear in Rivendell.
The one is Rivendell we're a lot slimmer and sheer.

I turned around and took off my nightgown and slipping on the gown.
I tried to reach the clasp at the back but struggled a bit.

"Let me help you", he said softly, walking behind me.
He moved my hair from my back and clipped it together, kissing my neck once as he did so.
"Thank you", i said as i sat down in the chair in front of a mirror.
I picked up a comb and combed through my hair before Legolas took over and plaited sections of my hair, similar to how he does his.
"How is it that you are an elf but do not know how to braid your hair?", he laughed whilst sectioning pets of my hair.

"Finished", he said softly.
I got up and planted a kiss on his lips, pulling him in by the collar of his tunic.

"We should go to breakfast", he smiled, holding my arm as we walked out.
We walked to the dining hall where Thranduil waited for us.
"Ada?", i questioned, seeing him sitting next to Thranduil laughing.
"Alena!", Arwen said with a wide smile.
She got up from the table and embraced me with a warm hug.
"It has been so long", she said still holding me in her arms.
"I'm so glad you are here", i said pulling away to hold her hands.
"Alena", Aragorn said, walking behind Arwen with a smile.
I bowed my head before he pulled me into a hug.
"Please, we are too close for that", he laughed.
I smiled at them both, i really missed them.
"We came a day early so we wouldn't be tired for the big night", Arwen said with raised eyebrows.
"Big night?", i questioned, turning my head to Legolas next to me.
He gave Arwen a look and she quickly covered her mouth.
"You said it was small", i said to Legolas.
"It is", he said defensively.
"Who is coming and coming for what?", i asked.
"Gimli is on his way", Aragorn added.
"The elves of Lothlorien are coming, men from Gondor ,and our friends back in Imladris are on their way", Arwen said calmly.
I looked at Legolas with raised eyebrows.
I was greatful he had sent for them, but for what?
"Why are they coming?", i asked.
"Your party!", Aragorn said excitedly.
Arwen put her hand on her head and shook her head.
"Oh..", Aragorn said realising he wasn't meant to say anything.
"Let's go sit down", Legolas said quickly.
We walked to the table and sat down to eat.
