"𝓘𝓽 𝓲𝓼 𝓲𝓷 𝓼𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔀, 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓵 𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓮𝓼."

@VanimaElen - as he remembered.

"He shall be joyed of your return. I believe that alone will make him wish to stay. Whether or not he is upset on me anymore.", he whispered, gazing wistfully into the valley.

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@VanimaElen - Although he's had him longer than Calithil, he'd been too lost in his own sorrow most of the times. Perhaps this way he had neglected him more than he had wished.

Very tenderly, he lifted Calithil's hand to his lips. Thranduil kissed her knuckles, ringless but just as pretty -

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@LOTHLORIENLEAF - "We shall do so indeed. Meet them while they least expected.", he replied, before eventually heading off. "I shall meet you in the courtyard!"

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@LOTHLORIENLEAF - will provide it to you."

Thranduil walked round the table. He stopped briefly by Haldir, gazing at him. There was something which reminded him of himself in the other elf and it wasn't the sternness or calculated demeanour. It was something he couldn't quite pinpoint now.

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@SALTOFAIRON - do, at least."

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@SALTOFAIRON - perishing whenever the spiders or orcs became too bold. He wondered when it would stop. If it ever would.

"That is good. As long as you won't attract unwanted attention, then I have no objection. We shall grant you safe passage when you decide to depart, that much I can -

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@VanimaElen - close like this. Eternally grateful that his beloved was here, that he would not have to live through everything without her.

"Yes...I very much want that. Our son..."

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@VanimaElen "Quite unlikely, is it not? Yet I'm glad he did, for i learned he is a fine man, worthy of the line he draws from. I didn't worry that Legolas would somehow surround himself with unfit persons."

Thranduil gazed upon Calithil. He gently took her hand into his own, holding her -

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@SALTOFAIRON - Guldur. As brave as you and your crew might be, these orcs are relentless. I can spare no men to aid you.", he said, gazing straight at Sarnith. "Something stirs in the east, which is darker than anything we've known yet."

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@SALTOFAIRON - he could not pay mind to such too long. Instead he gave his attention to the matter at hand.

"Rightly so. Which also implies your stay. I am not in a position to hold a ship so close to my border for long, least it becomes a point of attraction for orcs crossing from Dol -

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@LOTHLORIENLEAF - in the meanwhile. Yet he couldn't. Something tied him to these lands inexplicably.

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@LOTHLORIENLEAF - You are an experienced marchwarden, I will rely on you to aid me in mobilising our troops. I shall hope there will be no need of fighting. I will not risk the lives of my people more than necessary."

Thranduil had lost plenty during the war of the ring. Many others had sailed-

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@VanimaElen - rarely and sat even less. I pushed our son away..."

[𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 @OfElvenDescent]

@VanimaElen - bitterness sneaking into his voice. "After the defeat of the dragon Smaug. He joined the Dunedain, befriended one of them, the very heir of Isildur. Aragon."

Thranduil's gaze lingered on Calithil, his elegant eyebrows furrowed.

"I sent him. I had a foresight...but he came -
