closed starter for @thefearedsouls (Legolas) muse: Aélin Thornthistle. An elf warrior/guard

Aélin had lost her bow minutes ago, needing to continue with only her two smaller swords as she wove through what seemed like a spider attack, something that hadn't happened in Mirkwood for ages. Her heart pounded as her eyes darted around, searching for Legolas, her partner for the day. When she found him, she rushed to kill one of the spiders attacking him, too close for his bow to work effectively. ❝Are you alright?❞ she asked when seemingly the last spider was slain. Aélin was sure she had been hit on the shoulder, but the prince was always the priority.

❝No, I am not❞ Aélin was completely lost. She was far from home - she belonged to the realm of Thranduil - and had gotten involved in a hunt against a spider that plagued the region of her kingdom. She knew she definitely couldn't walk back, but she also knew she shouldn't speak to just any man on the roadside. When Aélin raised her eyes to the knight, however, she realized he was not just any man. ❝Your Majesty❞ she added.

The prince slowed his horse. "Whoa..." He said pulling back on the reigns. "Hello." He said with a smile. "You aren't lost are you? It's not safe here. Especially on foot. Do you need a ride somewhere?" Eldarion asked.

"I was," Aélin replied, a smile playing on her lips. "But I ran away. I needed some time away from all of that. So hearing you talk about the sky sounds like music to my ears."

Llewel sat down in their usual spot, it was a beautiful night and they had brought their notebook so that they could take notes." I didn't think you would make it tonight." The elf speaks up, glancing towards the sounds they had heard." I thought you were busy with far more important things than to listen to me go on about the sky."

Aélin shook her head. She had always been raised with the belief that she needed to protect the kingdom and the royalty. In other words, her injuries weren't that important. So she simply covered the wound with one hand, shaking her head again. ❝No, you did what you had to. I'm fine, and the mission was accomplished, that's what matters❞

Legolas was cornered but he'd hunted spiders enough in his time not to be scared. When Aélin appeared to help he was thankful. He stood back to back her, matching her movements. Once the spiders were down he turned to her. "I am fine." He said with a nod.

"You however are not." It had been a long time since he'd had a hunting partner. A very long time. He felt anxious suddenly, for her well being. He'd gone ahead. Rushed into the fight.

"I should had stayed by your side. I am sorry."
