Ch 29

The next morning Faramir woke
to find a pillow over his head. Finding Legolas on the balcony, he wrapped his
arms around him and sighed �I take it from the pillow, that I kept you up?�
Legolas nodded sleepily �Nai� �I�m sorry master, lord Elrond did give me a note
to give to the healer here, I�m assuming it is the recipe for the draft I take�
The prince smiled �Thank the Valar for lord Elrond�s fine thinking, give it to
Aldamir at morning meal�

As Faramir dressed, he cleared his
throat �I take it I will be attending meals here like in Rivendel?� �Nai,
nothing has changed, save location and company� As they made there way down the
hall, Faramir sighed �I must admit master, I am very nervous� �I will be
there�worry not� �You do not understand master, I was brought up reading tales
of the Mirkwood elves, they were suppose to be the most violent and reclusive
of all the elven kingdoms. I was actually afraid of you when I first found out
you were a wood-elf, and then to find out that your father was the king of
them?� Faramir shook his head.

Legolas smiled �Ahh, but we are
the most dangerous elves, we live in a troubled wood and therefore must be, we
normally do not like outsiders and are very protective of our borders. I think
you are the first adan to actually be aloud to roam free here, the only other
edain that have entered here, only see my father�s dungeons, he truly dislikes
trespassers. Some edain come to ask permission to travel thru, but they are
often declined� �Oh�so, you said that this Sirith and Aldamir are bonded�what
about Meoen�

Legolas frowned �Nai, she was
bound, but her bonded perished from the spiders�as did her son. I do not
believe she has ever looked for another� �I�m sorry to hear that�how horrible
for her. You also mentioned another elf I think it was�Nen�Nenel?� �Nenuial,
nai, Adar said he would be joining us for morning meal�he is�well, set in his
ways, he may consider you a mild threat, especially when you touch me or me
you�he was the one who taught me hand to hand combat, he pushed me harder than
anyone else because of my sightlessness�he was also my personal guard�well,
still is actually, on top of his normal work�

Faramir stopped, leaned over,
and supported himself on his knees �I think I�m going to be sick� Legolas
snorted, �My Adar, Sirith and Nenuial are good examples of the feared elves you
read about. They had been friends since before Adar became king� Faramir
swallowed �Ugh�wonderful� �Oh worry not, Adar does care for you, and
that will mater greatly to Nenuial�

As they approached the door,
loud voices could be heard. When they entered, Faramir swallowed hard as
everyone turned to watch them. Legolas could feel the tension and pulled
Faramir to the table �Morning Adar, Atar�everyone� As the room bid there fair
morning, Legolas reached for his chair �Adar?� Thranduil looked and noticed his
son�s hand on his chair and his other on Faramir�s chest. As the king stood and
walked over, he smirked when he also noticed that Faramir was keeping his head and
eyes to the floor in supplication.

Thranduil waved his hand
�Meoen, move one seat over, Faramir will occupy the chair to Legolas�s right
from now on� Faramir shuddered �My lord, I should not be the cause of
misplacement� Thranduil grabbed his shoulders, turned him and forced him down
in the chair �Nonsense, Genderel and myself are still at the head, Nenuial,
Sirith and Aldamir are still to Genderel�s left, Legolas is still to my right
and now you. Besides, Meoen should be at the end, because like the fussy
elleth she is�she is always getting up to check on the food instead of enjoying
it�so quiet and eat your dead animals�

Legolas giggled and took his
seat �Meoen, could you please provide Faramir with a sprig of fresh mint after
his meal?� �Of course penneth, but I was unaware that mint was a necessary herb
for mortals meals� Legolas sniffed and reached forward to grab some lembas, �Oh
it is not a requirement for his health, it is my desire that he chew on
it after he eats dead animal flesh, so that when we kiss, I do not smell or
taste what he has eaten� Meoen beamed �Oh! Well in that case, I will dip
the mint sprig in honey, so your kisses will be fresh and sweet�

Thranduil rubbed his temples
and groaned. Legolas then sniffed again and reached for the fruit spread,
smeared it on the lembas, broke it in half and offered it to Faramir. �What is
this master?� �Sugar and berried mashed together to make a spreadable paste for
breads� Sirith and Nenuial watched as the adan playfully nudged the prince in
the ribs with his elbow �I know that master�I meant the bread� Nenuial calmly
interrupted �It is called Lembas�which means way bread, it is usually eaten
plain when traveling long distances�

Faramir shuddered �Th�thank you
lord Nemunel� The eldar narrowed his eyes, but before he could say anything,
Thranduil leaned forward �Ahh, I nearly forgot�I wanted to inform all of you to
be patent with our young adan, our names twist his tongue and he mostly goes by
the sound� Genderel smirked at the kings attempt to defuse certain bloodshed
�Nai, when I first met Faramir he called me�oh what was it�Genderprel�or
something like that. He got my name in time�

Nenuial leaned back in his
chair and calmed himself, then stated evenly �Nen...uial, my name is
Nenuial�and I am not a lord� Faramir lowered his gaze and whispered �I
apologizes� Meoen shot the elf a disapproving look, shook her head, then smiled
warmly at Faramir �Oh worry not adan, he glares at everyone that way�what he
needs is a mate� Nenuial�s eyes widened �Meoen!� Thranduil smirked then cleared
his throat �Guards, escort Faramir back to my sons chamber�Faramir, we have
things to discuss, Legolas will join you shortly�

After he left, Legolas turned
to his father �Adar, does Faramir look as frightened as I�m sensing?� �Nai ion
he seems quite terrified� Sirith chortled �I am surprised his did not wet
himself when you corrected him on your name Nenu� Legolas clenched his teeth
and smacked his hand on the table �Daro! He is frightened enough! He does not
need you making fun of him on top of it! He was raised on horror stories about
wood-elves, how fearsome we are, and you are giving validity to those fears!�

Thranduil gently place his hand
on the princes �Calm down ion�Now, the reason I had him leave, was because I wished
to inform you all about his past�without making him more self conscious then he
already is� Legolas slumped back in his chair �I do not want to hear any more
comments about him�and if anyone hurts Ath-nin�I will return that pain tenfold�
Sirith and Nenuial exchanged raised brows and answered together �Nai ernil-nin�
then looked to the king.

After Thranduil and Genderel
explained the vile past Faramir suffered, Aldamir cleared his throat �Prince
Legolas, I think you will need to be there when I check him� �Nai, I will�
Meoen dried her eyes �How�how can a father do such a thing to his own seed�I
can not fathom this� Sirith shook his head �Had he no one to defend him? What a
cruel fate for one so young�

Thranduil nodded �He had�has a
brother, Boromir, from what I can tell, his brother often opposed there father.
He cared for him when he was ill, fended off men that were overly rough with
him and ultimately helped Faramir flee. He sent him forth to Rohan to have a
better life�a safer life�but�while in route, he was attacked by a band of Orcs
and well�that is where Legolas and Faramir�s paths connected�

Nenuial stood, walked over to
Legolas and caressed his cheek �If you wish it ernil-nin, I will go and kill
this foul adan for you�what he did to his child is evil and unpardonable�
Legolas stood and hugged him �Nay, it is not my ultimate decision�it is
Faramir�s. Now if you will all excuse me, I want to be with Ath-nin�

As Legolas entered the room, he
found Faramir in the bath �You took a bath this morning� �Yes master, but I
helped myself to some of the treats on the table there and got honey in my
hair� Legolas laughed �Aye, when I was little, I used to eat honey sticks�Adar
picked me up and I instinctively wrapped my hands around his neck�ugh�what a
mess I made of his hair! He was angered to say the least�then there was the
time that I got into his inkwell�but I will not go into that now�

Faramir laughed �Is your
meeting over?� �Was not really a meeting�Adar was telling them of your past�
Faramir frowned �Oh�well, I guess that was to be expected�they don�t know me
and I will be living here now� Legolas knelt next to the bath �Nenuial offered
to dispatch your Adar for you� �What?! Oh master�please tell me you said nay!�
Legolas smiled �I told him that that was your decision to make�not mine�

Faramir left the bath, dried
off and began to dress �So�I understand the functions of those at morning
meal�save Nenuial�you said he taught you hand to hand�is he a guard?� Legolas
nuzzled his neck and chest �Nay�in a way, he is my personal body guard�when he
is not doing his craft� �Craft?� �Ai, he is my Adar�s personal slayer� Faramir
trembled �Wh�what?� �He is a slayer�Adar sends him out when he needs
things�taken care of� Faramir rolled his eyes �Well that makes me feel
safe�your body guard is an assassin� Legolas smiled �I consider him family�as
well as the others that were at morning meal�worry not, he will not harm you
unless I say so� Faramir shook his head and groaned.

Back in Imladris, Erestor
entered his lords study �Lord Elrond, there was an adan at the border
requesting to speak with you�Glorfindel is escorting him here now, according to
the scout, his clothing indicates he is from Gondor� Elrond nodded �Very well,
when they arrive, have Glorfindel bring him here�
