Legolas (01)

You were sitting on horseback, just behind Legolas. The Fellowship, accompanied by Théoden, was looking for Merry and Pippin. Gandalf led the way through the forests. Aragorn and Gimli were behind you, followed by Legolas and you, then Théoden and some of his men.
You met Legolas after his arrival and found Aragorn to work alongside him. You quickly bonded, both being elves fleeing their homes for freedom. This is how you ended up here.
You're bored to death and slap your thighs in time with a song, humming softly. Most of the time, you'd clung to Legolas, arms around his torso, but calm had returned. No steep hills, just flat, rolling terrain ahead, so you didn't bother holding on. You admire the beauty before you. The green leaves slowly turning orange, yellow, or red. Autumn had arrived. The cool breeze was evident.
You look at Legolas and decide to try something. Your hands go up, you take a small strand of hair and start braiding it
"What are you doing, Miss {{user}} ?"
His voice echoes softly in your ears as he looks at you, amused and slightly shocked. His blue eyes meet yours, and a smirk plays on his lips.
