Ch17

Thranduil returned to Haldir�s
chamber and found the door open. The king went up to one of the guards and
whispered �Are they in there?� �Nai my lord, after you left, the march warden
opened the door and it has been so ever since� Thranduil chuckled and thought �Hmm,
he attempts to put me at ease, he probably wants to prove me that he is
trustworthy�

The king rubbed his neck
tiredly �Could you hear anything? What have they talked about� �They have been
speaking about the wardens brothers, what it is like to guard the borders of
Lorien, his favorite foods and why�he eats meat from time to time, rabbit�
Thranduil arched his brow �Really�alright, what did Legolas talk about�

The guard smiled �He talked of
his Naneth, how you used to put him on your back when he was an elfling and
pretend to be a warg and try and buck him off�� Thranduil chuckled at the
memory ��how the crown prince used to torture him, and his friendship with
warrior Vayden�� Oh? And what did he say about Vayden?�

The other guard stepped forward
�He just spoke of there activity�s�like practicing archery, spying on the crown
prince, and things like that� �Ahh, do either of you know Vayden?� The two
shook there heads �Not well my lord, he is new to your forces and not at our
level yet. He still guards the kitchens. He has not advanced yet� �I see,
anything else?�

The other guard shrugged �Well,
they were talking for a while, then it went quiet. We looked in and discovered
that the prince had fallen asleep and the warden was just holding him in his
arms. I hope this is not to bold my lord but�they make a fine looking couple�
Thranduil sighed, �Nai, they do. You may leave now, go and rest�

As the guards left, Thranduil
entered the chamber and smiled. Haldir was sitting against the headboard with
Legolas nestled in his lap. The march warden looked over, inclined his head and
whispered, �My lord, do you wish for me to wake him?� �Nay, leave him sleep.
Come Haldir, I wish to talk� The king went to the fire and sat, then poured two
glasses of wine.

Haldir gently slid out from
under the prince and joined the king. Thranduil handed him a glass �At first, I
was furious that Legolas snuck out like that but�� The king shook his head and
sighed, ��eh, I wish to ask you some questions� �Proceed my lord, you already
know the most personal part of my past�

Thranduil nodded �I admire your
strength Haldir, regardless of family duty, most would have faded from just one
forcing�yet you survived four, repeatedly� �I mainly thought of Rumil, with him
being as he is, I could not let them harm him�he surely would have faded,
probably right there on that table�

The king nodded silently �I
thought he was a wee bit attached to you for his age, now I know why� Haldir
sighed �Well, he had a perfect birds eyes view of the entire incident my lord,
he did not speak for quite some time after that, and followed me around day and
night� �How long was he silent?� �A decade my lord�

Thranduil dropped his jaw �A
decade?� �Nai, then one day when Orophin was wrestling with him, he just yelled
out �Ow daro you Orcs arse� and he has been speaking ever since� Thranduil
chuckled �What fine first words!� Haldir snorted, �Ai, behind that fair face
lies the vocabulary and temper of a dwarf� The king laughed, then hushed
himself so not to wake Legolas.

The king sighed �I take it that
Netuwen helped you after your attack and that is how you know her?� �Nai, she
was one of the healers that tended to me�she was the only one I would let touch
me�err�where I had been injured�� Haldir smiled ��she was bossy back then as
well� The king rolled his eyes and chuckled �Oh I am sure she was a joy to be
around�

Thranduil was silent for a
moment then refilled their glasses �Tell me, what do�well, with the body of a
male and the fea of an elleth�what do they like?� Haldir furrowed his brow
confused �My lord?� �Well, elleth�s like things like�flowers, trinkets,
clothing, poetry, food�what would one give someone like Rumil�

Haldir smiled �Your speaking of
the young Vayden my lord?� Thranduil arched his brow �Nai� �You would have to
ask the prince, he knows him best� The king snorted and shook his head �I most
certainly am not going to ask Legolas�I�m sure he would just love
the fact that I am interested in his friend�

Haldir thought for a moment �The prince told me that he
likes tarts, but what flavor I do not know� �Haldir, you are my sons intended,
and if you are truly going to pursue him as a life mate, you can stop calling
him �the prince� in my presence� �Nai my lord�

Thranduil sighed and looked
back to Legolas �I do not wish to wake him, he looks to content. Can you handle
him staying here?� �Y�you would leave him in my care for the evening my lord?�
Thranduil stood �I trust you not to harm him. And to wake him now would not be
such a good idea, he is not a friendly elf when woken, he can be quite verbally
abusive�

Haldir chuckled, and then
looked at the king seriously �Well my lord, I will be totally honest�I will do
nothing against his will but�if he initiates anything�� The king held up his
hand �Nai, nai�I understand�Legolas can be very determined. I am putting trust
in your ability to make sound decisions on your�activity�s�

Haldir blinked in shock
�Regardless of his determination my lord, Legolas will remain untouched in the
manner of�me claiming him� Thranduil chuckled �Hmm, that leaves a broad
spectrum of other activity�s march warden�� The king then sighed ��but as I
said, I will trust your judgment� Haldir bowed, and Thranduil left the room.

The king made his way to the
kitchens, found the head cook cleaning and cleared his throat. The elleth
turned and gasped �My lord! How may I help you, did you need anything, is
something wrong?� �Calm down, nay everything is fine. I need to know�there is a
young elf named Vayden that is posted here and�� Nai my lord, I know him�

Thranduil bit his lip and
sighed, �What kind of tarts does he like?� The cook blinked �Well, he�any my
lord�but err, I think he may like blackberry the best� The king nodded �Do you
have any?� �Nai my lord� �Fine, give me some� The cook handed him a trey with
four and Thranduil narrowed his eyes �Do I need to tell you to keep this
quiet?� �Nay my lord, I mean�keep what quiet my lord?� Thranduil nodded �Good
evening� �And to you my lord�

The king slowly made his way
down the hall and sighed when he realized that he had no clue where Vayden�s
chamber was. Thranduil arrived at his captions door and knocked. When the door
opened, the warrior furrowed his brow �My lord?� Thranduil sighed and shook his
head �Duron, I need some help�

The caption blinked in shock
�Of course my lord, what is wrong?� �I�I need to know where Vayden�s chamber
is� �Vayden who guards the kitchens or Vayden who�� The kitchens� The caption
nodded �My lord he�err�he still resides with his parents, he is slated for a
privet chamber but�� Thranduil dropped his head forward and groaned �Duron�I
would like you to go and retrieve him, then bring him to my chamber�and keep it
quiet Duron, I do not want the other warriors to know, he is probably singled
out enough for�the way he is�

The Mirkwood caption nodded
�Wise my lord, I did not place him in the barracks for just that reason. Do not
get me wrong, he is well liked but you know how warriors can be, there teasing can
get rough. I will relieve the guards outside your chamber and stand guard
myself. That way you are guaranteed privacy and�anonymity�

Thranduil nodded �Hannon le�
Duron smiled �Tis never easy is it my lord� Thranduil sighed, �Being king is
wonderful, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be a regular
elf�without all this dam subversion�� The caption gently placed his hand on the
king shoulder �I do not envy you my lord, especially at times like this�but I
would have you know, that your people would be happy to learn that you are
entertaining the possibility of being with someone�

A short time later, Vayden�s
father answered the door �Caption Duron?� �I need Vayden to come with me� �Why�
�He is needed and that is all you need to know� The elf furrowed his brow �I am
not dense, only the king summons at such a late hour�� The caption shook his
head �Worry not, he is not in trouble�

As Vayden came to the door,
Duron inclined his head �You need to come with me Vayden� �Nai caption� The
young warrior looked back to his parents and noted their concerned looks, then
followed the caption. When they arrived at the king chamber, Vayden blushed.
Duron smiled �You have been asked for, but worry not penneth, I will be the one
on guard. No one else knows you are here�

Vayden nodded, let out a long
breath, and then knocked �Come�. As he entered, Thranduil smiled �Close and
lock the door�
