Four hours passed before Legolas woke up. Tauriel was now laying on her left side. Legolas realised that her hand was upon his.

He flinched a bit, but this movement did not go unnoticed; Tauriel's hand stirred as her eyashes began to open. She flinched in alert and before Legolas could react, she was on top of him, a dagger firmly pressing his throat and her left hand pressing his shoulder. He hissed in pain as it was his wounded one.

Tauriel's eyes lit up in recognition and quickly rolled over. "WHAT THE VALAR ARE YOU DOING IN MY BEDROOM???!!!" she yelled at her shocked friend.

He sat up and blushed to death.
"I-I.."
"How long have you been here???" she asked trying to calm herself down.
"I-I don't know, it must have been about...4 hours..." he shuttered and she looked at him with a look of disbelief.
"What were you doing here?" she muttered, and to her surprise, he smiled shyly.
"Sleeping"
"WHAT?"
"I mean...you were sleeping so peacefully...that... I, I just laid down beside you...and I fell asleep" he said like a child being caught in act.

Tauriel managed to calm down and smiled, blushing "Ugh, alright. I give up. I forgive you" she said and threw her arms in defeat. He laughed and looked at his hands.

Now that she was calm, she took a look at him and her eyes widened; he had unbraided his braids. She ran her fingers through his hair, making him freeze.

"I have never seen your hair in no braids..." she whispered in awe. He was indeed magnificent with his hair in no braids. He blushed and smiled shyly.

After a while Tauriel stood up and put on her boots.
"I think we should get out now. We have been sleeping for so long. We should not make the others suspicious" she replied and Legolas stood up and started braiding his hair. Tauriel was impressed of how quickly he braided his hair.

He then put on his boots and opened the door. Luckily, there was noone to be seen in the hallway. She closed the door behind them and they started walking.

"So, to where are we heading to?" she asked.
"Uh, I do not know... Would you like to go for a walk in the forest?"
"Hmm, yes, why not?" she answered.

Not a couple of minutes passed when a guard showed up, holding a letter "Hir nin Legolas, I was told to give you this letter" he said and handed Legolas the letter.
"Thank you Dorian, you may go now" Legolas replied and Dorian left.

Legolas opened the letter and started reading;

{My friend, Legolas,

I am very happy to write to you. How do you fare? Is everything alright with Tauriel? I am basically writing to you because of what happened the last two days. Elrond came to visit us in Gondor. Arwen and I found the chance to tell him about Arwen's pregnancy. We were right mellon nin, he nearly fainted..} Legolas burst out laughing 'If only I had been there to see that' he thought
{...But then he calmed down and hugged us both to death. We threw a feast that lasted two days. Gimli was there too and invited aaaallll of his relatives- you can possibly imagine the great mess they did- and they drank almost all of Gondor's beer. Anyway, tell me your news when you can.

Aragorn}

Legolas finished reading and smiled. At least his friend was happy. He would respond to his letter after his and Tauriel's walk.

"Who did write to you?" Tauriel asked.
"My friend Aragorn. I will answer to his letter later" he said and she gave him a nod.

They continued walking when they bumped into Elsaylen.
"Oh, hello guys! Where had you been?"
"Uh..."
"I had been helping the maids with their work and, now that I finished, I headed to look for you. Where are you going?" Elsaylen asked.
"We are going for a walk-"
"Great! May I join you" Elsaylen pleaded them.
"Yeah sure" Tauriel replied. 'Damm Tauriel!!' Legolas thought irritated.
