Sam stood in the palace, feeling rather neglected. Bergil had disappeared almost as soon as they arrived, as had Sahrien. Pippin had vanished to renew old acquaintances, and Ryna had been swept away by a crowd of giggling children in the custody of a nursemaid.
A friendly woman who didnt appear to know who he was had escorted him to a small room, telling him that the king was busy but would see him when he had the chance. Perhaps he would care to speak with Lord Faramir or Lady Eowyn instead?
To this Sam had declined. A Hobbit at heart, he was uncomfortable in the company of Men. Now, waiting in vain, he went to the window.
Glancing down into the garden, he spied legolas speaking to a tall female. Filled with joy at the sight of his old friend, he hailed him excitedly, the sheer exuberance of his waving almost propelling out of the window. "Heeey, Legolas, miss me?"
Legolas looked up at the noise, surprised. On seeing Sam, his jaw dropped. They were here already?
Remorse filled him- he and Gimli had been supposed to make the trip. Instead, he had been distracted by Lómódë. Gimli he had not seen since. It was not unusual for the Dwarf to disappear for days at a time, but normally he gave some warning first.
Another pang at his lack of concern for his friend's whereabouts. Pushing the feelings to one side, he returned Sam's grin.
"With all my heart, my friend. The world is returned to rights now that you have returned. Come down and join us."
"Hey" said Sam his grin becoming wider. "I would come down there to meet you but i'd get lost in this maze of a palace." Sam grimaced. "You think you could keep me company?"
"I'll come up." Legolas replied instantly. He turned to Aryante. "Do you mind?"
She shook her head. Bidding her farewell, Legolas turned and sprinted through the corridors to where Sam waited. As he stepped into the room, Sam stepped forward to embrace his old friend, noting as he did so that the elf was not even out of breath.
"How are you, you rogue?" Legolas asked. "How's the family?"
"I'm fine thanks and the family is great. Ryna is here with me but she has disappeared off with the other children here." Sam tried to hide the fact he wasnt hurt...unsuccesfully. "What has been going on here?"
Legolas' face fell. Even with Sam, it appeared there was no escape from the current troubles. Grimly, he recounted the events of the last few days. Sam's face went through many emotions as he listened.
"All that has happened in a week or so? Poor Aragorn, what was he thinking. I wonder where Arwen has gone. Their love was so..." Sam trailed off.
Legolas nodded, the same thoughts in his mind.
"And now, if you're in agreement, perhaps we should stroll down to the training grounds. I feel this is a battle that shouldn't be missed."
"I agree. I think he will need our support."
Somberly, the two friends rose and left the room, ready to be beside Aragorn in what could be the most important fight of his life.
