Legolas.point of view

I watched Tempest, as she walked away from our group, before walking off my self. It was not long until I found some place where I could rest, though most would prefer a soft bed after such terrible travels, I found a tall branch far from the ground where I sat humming. I thought of how both Lady Galadriel and Tempest spoke to the Dwa-Gimli, perhaps my people are wrong. I sat there thinking for quite awhile when I noticed that the song I had been humming had changed, it was now one of the ones that Tempest had shown me, but it's name I could not place. In an attempt to find it's name I found myself thinking of her and of what both Aragorn and Gimli had said. But I soon found myself dosing, so I put my thoughts aside and began resting. As I did the song played in my head.

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Why is it that I feel as though I understand him, or what he feels.

Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

Something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Tempest why does this line remind me of you.

Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of

You and me and all of the people
With nothing to do and nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

Why is she so distracting.

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

I think......
I think I understand stand, but Gimli was right she doesn't need my problem.

Tempest Ankareeda.point of view

We spent many days there just resting, and much to my delight Legolas and Gimli were starting to get along. The three of us had taken to exploring, but I think this might have confused the others, except Aragorn. Tonight we sat together taking quietly, but were just beginning to feel the grief of Gandalf's loss. My thoughts drifting to the mournful elven song that seemed drift down from the trees around us and I once again found myself worrying that my presence would keep him from returning.

"A lament for Gandalf...", said Legolas quietly.

"What do they say about him?" Asked Pippin.

"I have not the heart to tell you. For me, the grief is still too near", he answered. Pippin turned slightly my direction, but was stopped by Sam speaking.

"I bet they don't mention his fireworks. There should be a verse about them", he said. He stands up to add his own verse to the elven song.

"The finest rockets ever seen

They burst in stars of blue and green

Or after thunder, silver showers

Come falling like a rain of flowers.
