[There's Legolas, sitting at a terminal and looking thoughtful. There's a small, leatherbound notebook in front of him and a fountain pen. He wasn't sure if they'd belonged to anyone when he'd gathered what he needed but he could return it all later. In neat script on the first page is a passage written in Sindarin. And below it, a translation of it.]

What is it you miss of home, most of all? What is it, that if ever we return, you will seek out first?

I want to write it all here in this book. I want to make sure that no one forgets what most they miss here. No matter what it is that we endure, we'll need only look into it to remind ourselves of happier times. Times that, with hope, are not forever lost to us.

[He winced, not expecting to be berated for what had happened. He'd done enough of that to himself. And then Haldir caught him by surprise.]

I do what I can to make sure that others won't have to suffer. So that you won't have to suffer. I wouldn't stand it if you were hurt.

Yet, I am forced to see you wounded on my behalf.

[ Haldir allowed his arms to drop from around Legolas. A sad smile graced his lips as he stared into his lover's beautiful blue eyes. ]

For every mark you gain upon your skin; my very soul bears that mark. I wish not to put you in harms way.

[He stood, placing his hand on Haldir’s cheek and looking into his eyes as well.]

I cannot do nothing. I would gladly die a thousand times if it meant preventing your death even once. And if it takes standing against them, I will.

[His lips quirk into a smile.]

Just as you tried to defend me from 'Sauron' on Halloween.

[ A laugh escaped Haldir's lips once he thought back on that fateful day. ]

I do believe "Mithrandir" hasn't been very fond of me ever since that day.

[Oh good, Haldir was smiling again! He could count this among his successes then. And that meant Haldir couldn't disagree if he still meant to protect Haldir and whoever else he could from the dangers here.]

He's been reclusive since then, I think. More prone to being alone, as one might expect of the wandering wizard. I don't think he bears you any ill will for it though. You were brave, very much so, my march warden.
