No One's POV

Sia lagged behind the rest of the fellowship, her head low. Being back in Lórien was too much for her. She had left many, many years ago, with no intention of returning.

She hadn't been paying much attention to her surroundings, and was genuinely surprised to see herself suddenly looking at the very sharp point of an elven arrow.

Her eyes trailed up the shaft, the arm of the elf holding it, and stopped on their face.

His face. Haldir.

"Haldir," she gasped.

His eyes widened. "Sia! You've returned to Lórien!" He lowered his bow, and engulfed her in a hug.

She hugged him back tightly, feeling as if she were dreaming.

Haldir led them into Lórien, where they talked with Celeborn and Galadriel, before being led to where they're to spend the night.

"Sia," Haldir said, coming up next to her, and taking her hand. "Can we talk?"

She glanced over her shoulder at the rest of the Fellowship - who was having a horrible time trying to hide their eavesdropping - and nodded.

He led her to a small garden, and sat down on a bench, inviting her to do the same.

"Why did you leave?" He asked her, looking into her eyes.

She looked down at her lap, fiddling her fingers. "I don't fit in here," she finally said.

Haldir looked at her, confused. "What do you mean? Of course you do!"

She shook her head, refusing to meet his eyes. "No, Haldir, I don't. I heard what everyone whispered about me behind my back. I know what they thought of me! Just because I'm from Mirkwood, too!"

Haldir shook his head. "No, Sia...that - that cannot be true."

"But it is."

He took her hand in one of his, and used his other one, to tilt her chin up to look him in the eye.

"Sia. It does not matter to me you are of Mirkwood-"

"Haldir-"

"Just listen, Sia. It doesn't matter to me. We cannot let a few envious elleths get in our way," he whispered, cupping her face in his hands, "I love you."

"Haldir...I-I love you too."

And then he kissed her, in the small garden in Lórien, underneath the pale moonlight.

Was it too short, or cheesy?
