Dasia's POV

Later that night I was walking with Luna as she told me about her time with the king. Yes I admit a part of me still wanted to strike him down for having the nerve to touch my sister. Still apparently she was treated well. I didn't understand all of these customs here in this suppose to be imaginary world. Let me tell you right now it doesn't seem imaginary now. Luna sighed as she looked up above the trees. I wish I knew what to do or even what to tell her for that fact. Something told me that even though we just arrived she already missed Thranduil.

After hours of walking I take Luna to her talan and decide it is time for me to get some rest as well. On my way to my talan I can hear Haldir talking to someone, knowing I probably shouldn't I look over and peek to see who he is talking to. I can see he is talking to another elleth one whom I should probably know the name of but at this moment escapes my mind. Still I can see that him talking to her puts him at some kind of ease.

"He has been talking to her for quite a while." I hear Orophins voice say from behind me. "I think it's good for him to talk to someone besides Rumil and I."

"Just, after what happened with my sister I really do hope he finds his happiness." I reply but don't turn around to face Orophin.

I feel him put his hands on my arms in an effort to comfort me. I couldn't help myself as I leaned back against him. Somehow I felt this is where I belonged though I didn't know why or how for that matter. After all this isn't my time or even my world for that matter.

"What keeps you thinking so deeply?" Orophin asks me.

"Oh I suppose I am just tired from the journey, nothing to worry about." I reply as I turn around and smile at him.

Orophin is handsome and I can't help but feel drawn to him. Never in my life did I think I would say that about and elf. Oh my brain must really be confused right now. Apparently Orophin can see the distress on my face and takes me in his arms and embraces me. How could something like just and embrace feel so right?

"Then you should go get some sleep, we can talk more in the morning." he tells me as he pulls away and looks down at me.

I nod as I turn to walk away but my clumsiness decides to kick in at that very moment again. Falling almost face first I prepare myself to hit the ground only the feeling never comes. Instead I feel two strong arms holding me up. Opening my eyes I see Orophin looking down at me smiling and in one swift movement he has me in his arms bridal style. Normally I would fight but I am far too tired so decide to let him win just this once.

"You always seem to be light on your feet around me." he tells me with a laugh.

"I don't think I am the most graceful elleth in this land." I reply as I smile back to him.

Orophin holds me closer to him as he begins to walk back to my talan. Who would have thought that just traveling could make someone so tired? I lay my head against Orophins broad chest and slowly my eyes become closed.

Orophin's POV

Looking down at the elleth in my arms I can't help but smile. Never in all my years had I met someone like her. Not only was she feisty but she was even willing to go against a King to protect her sister. I had to admit I was proud of her strength then. Those clothes she prefers to wear though it seemed the King hated that most. I had no problem with her clothes. No matter what she was dressed in she was beautiful to me. Turning the corner I see Rumil looking my way.

"Please tell me she's sleeping." he asks me with a look of shock on his face.

"Yes she's sleeping, what did you think?" I asked wondering what in the world was going through his head.

"Nothing, nevermind. So why were you so angry with Prince Legolas?" Rumil asks probably knowing it would get under my skin.

Just because Legolas is a Prince does not give him the right to go flirting with other elleths, especially ones who are already spoken for. My hold on Dasia tightens just a bit. I couldn't bare to think of her in the arms of another ellon, right here in my arms this was her true place.

"You have that look on your face. You really believe that Dasia would have just left you for Legolas? Oh brother you have much to learn then." Rumil tells me as he taps my shoulder and walks off behind me.

What did he mean by that? I just shrug it off and keep walking to Dasia's talan. Once inside I laid her softly on her bed. She looked so peaceful and calm. Quite the opposite of when she was mad. I could tell she wanted to keep her sister as far away from the King as possible but also I saw the looks the King and Luna shared. Something was there between them and I knew it would not be hidden for much longer.
