"Where are you off to?" Legolas asks, a month later.
You grab your bow. "A friend of mine. She lives near the Gladden Fields. I visit her once in a great while." You say, grabbing two quivers of arrows.
Legolas touches your arm and your whole body tingles. "Be careful, alright? I don't want anything to happen to you." He says.
You nod, staring at him. He doesn't break his gaze. He touches a hand to your hair, smoothing it away from your forehead. "Y/N, I...well, I-" He starts, then clamps his mouth shut, breaking the gaze. "Never mind. Just be careful." He says, walking off.
"Wait, Legolas, what-" You say, then stop. You sigh and groan, turning back to the weapons.

"It's so good to see you." Maeretha says, hugging you.
"It's good to see you as well." You say, smiling.
"Tell me everything that has been going on." She says, pulling you to a chair.
You sit. "One thing that has been going on is Legolas." You say, leaning back into the chair. "I don't know what to do." You groan.
"What do you mean?" She asks.
"Maeretha, I'm in love with him." You state, saying it aloud for the first time. Her eyes widen. "I'm so scared to tell him. I don't think he likes me that way. And he's going to reject me and our relationship will never be the same." You say.
"How long ago did you realize you loved him?" She asks.
"About a month ago. He saved me from being killed and that's when I realized how blind I've been." You answer.
