Andrea was wondering around after talking with Legolas. There was a cool breeze blowing and all was peaceful. Andrea looked around at the little houses as she walked. She made her way to the stables to check on Shadowfax. Shadowfax was happy to see some one had come to visit him as he stomped his hooves. Andrea smiled as she reached out her hand to rub his soft nose. '' Hello again. ''     She said smiling. Shadowfax whinnied happily making Andreas smile grow. '' Are you comfortable, looks like you are being very well looked after.''        Hearing some one enter the stables she looked over her shoulder to find Gandalf and Aragorn walking hastily towards them.    '' Is something wrong?''      Andrea asked her eyebrows furrowing. Gandalf didn't seem to hear her as he muttered to Aragorn while climbing onto Shadowfax. Andrea moved out of the way as Gandalf bid Aragorn a quick farewell and her a small smile. Then he and Shadowfax dashed out of the stables. Andrea was confused and a little surprised as she looked at Aragorn.    '' Were is he going?''         she asked.     '' Come walk with me and I will explain. ''     He said.  After learning about Gandalf's and the Kings argument and that they were to head t Helms Deep she sighed shaking her head.        '' I see why Gandalf was upset. Its not exactly that smart of a plan, but he is the king and is worried for his people. ''      Andrea said.  Aragorn nodded.     '' Will we be going with them?''     She asked having Aragorn nod in response. Andrea sighed standing up straight.       '' Well then I better go see about my clothes, if they are dry yet. ''      She said bowing and then leaving.  Sadly her traveling clothes were not yet fully dry so Andrea would have to travel in her dress.  After packing a few things she had left she was ready. Walking she spotted Eowyn leading a horse over to Gimli saying if he would like he could sit on it and let her lead so he wouldn't have to walk. The Dwarf accepted at once as he ordered Legolas to help him up.  Legolas rolled his eyes but helped the Dwarf anyway. Andrea walked over to them smiling.      '' Is your legs to sour from all your sprinting that you cannot walk Gimli?''      She said teasingly. The Dwarf let out a snort  as he replied.   '' No!''     Andrea laughed as she walked beside Eowyn.   After about three hours of walking Eowyn asked Gimli about dwarvin women.  Thats when Gimli went on ranting about them.      '' Its true you don't see many Dwarf women, in fact they are so alike in voice and appearance that their often mistaken for dwarf men.''     Andrea smiled holding in her laughter as well as Eowyn.  Eowyn looked back to Aragorn who whispered.   '' Its the beards.''    making Andrea and her giggle slightly.      '' Unless in turn is given rise the the belief that there are no dwarf woman, and that dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground!''      Eowyn and Andrea couldn't hold it back so they laughed merrily.  Gimli laughed as well before finishing off by say.    '' Which is of course ridicules...Woah!''   Gimli yelled as his horse ran forward nocking Gimli off and onto the ground.     '' Oh ho ho are you alright Gimli? ''      Andrea asked in-between her laughing.                   '' Its alright its alright nobody panic. It was deliberate it was deliberate.''          the Dwarf said from the ground as Eowyn ran half laughing to help the dwarf up.  Andrea was standing and laughing till she felt herself being pulled up onto a horse from behind.  She let out a small yelp of surprise until she heard Legolas say from behind chuckling.    '' Its only me.''    Andrea laughed slightly.  She was sitting in front of him but she turned her head to look at him, their noses bumping each other.     '' I can walk you know.''    she said.  Legolas shrugged slightly.     '' But I wouldn't want you to get tired or trip on your lovely dress.''      He said. Andrea rolled her yes.   '' Well I don't want to end up like Gimli just did thank you very much. ''   Legolas raised an eyebrow.      '' What makes you think I would drop you, or even let you fall?''        Andrea smiled slightly looking into his eyes before realizing how close they were and turned to face the front again.      '' Well you better not let me fall, or this will be the last time I ride with you.''         She said smirking slightly. Legolas chuckled.    '' Very well your highness.''    He said your highness in a posh way making Andrea giggle slightly. And so they went talking as they made their way to Helms Deep.
