Legolas 4.0

While pursuing the Uruk-hai, you and Legolas are briefly separated from Aragorn and Gimli. The enemy's tracks lead you into a dense forest, where darkness is rapidly falling. Legolas claims to know the way, but it soon becomes clear that the Uruk-hai have split into several bands and you have lost their trail.

You try to joke about the great elven ranger actually managing to get lost. Legolas gives you a pointed look and dryly remarks that you can return to that joke once you're out of the forest.

Soon you hear voices nearby. Legolas instantly grabs your hand and pulls you behind a wide tree, placing a finger to his lips. You find yourself very close to each other as the enemies pass by.

When the danger is over, he doesn't immediately let go of your hand.

"Do you always talk so much in dangerous situations?" he asks quietly.

— Do you always grab girls by the hand without warning?

Legolas looks at your clasped hands and immediately unclenches his fingers.

“Only those who manage to get into trouble more often than a dwarf,” he answers calmly.

But as you continue on your way, he no longer allows you to stray far from him. And when you trip over a root, his hand is instantly there, ready to catch you.

“Not a word,” he warns, noticing your smile. “I know what you’re going to say.”
