I hesitate in the entrance. Waiting. No longer certain of my welcome; no longer certain of anything. He looks up. His quill falls to the floor. He sits, still as his father's marble statues and as pale.
“Elrohir.” My voice, little more than a whisper, grates.
Silence between us, a chasm. Logs shift, flames crack. Smell of wood-smoke, ink, and parchment. Like him. Unable to bear his utter stillness, I kneel before him, take his cold hand. “Please.”
Cracks fissure through my heart. I have lost him.
Then, beyond hope, his hand on my head. “Legolas.” Forgiving. In spite of everything.
