Arwen sat and looked at her hands rather than at the handsome elf opposite her. Her fingernails were in terrible condition but it was that or look at the face of home.
She had given up her immortality, her chance to go with her kindred into the Grey Havens for a cold king who ignored her, devoting his time instead to forms and numbers.
A tear rolled down her cheek and a gentle hand brushed it away. She smiled but with no good humour.
Legolas could leave if he wanted to while she was confined in this role as Queen of Gonder. With the perfect man as her husband, unfortuately it had turned out to be pefectly awful.
Vaguely she heard Legolas say, "What's wrong with you?" A fire awoke within her from the ashes of her soul.
He was accusing her! After all she'd been through he was accusing her, while knowing nothing.
She stopped looking at the hands, which she vowed to tidy up, and directed her steely gaze at Legolas.
"I am fine Master Elf, but would you be so good as to fetch my husband. I fear that in his absense my spirit withers."
