In a great cave, some miles within the edge of Mirkwood on it's eastern side is the palace of King Thranduil and his son Legolas.
This great cave, from which countless smaller ones open out on every side, winds far underground and has many passages and wide halls; but it is lighter and more wholesome then any goblin-dwelling.
The King's Cave is the strong place of his treasure and the fortress of his people against their enemies.

Legolas walks through the passage, finding his way to the hall even after his extended absence. He sighs at reaching a quiet chamber, a small smile on his lips. He looks around, admiring the long-since experienced tranquility of the place. Stretching his shoulder absentmindedly, he leans back against a table, closing his eyes against all of Middle Earth's problems as well as his own. Kneading the muscles of his neck, Legolas hums quietly to himself a song he heard long ago.

There is a small twich of pain on the corner of his mouth soon replaced by a smile when he opens his eyes to Lo.
Hello there! Surely my thoughts are not worth that much?

He closes his mouth tightly, letting out a soft groan as she attempts to knead out a particularly painful knot.
My weight in gold, eh?
He chuckles softly and opens his eyes again, this time veiled with indistinguishable emotion.
I'm afraid my thoughts are on no particular track. It has only been a pair of days since my return and it feels as though already there is much to tend to.

Really? *Stepping out of the shadows* So bored. No one is at Morgul Vale. The wk and Jared are off terrorising people. Mind if I join in for some intelligent conversation? ;D

[glow=magenta,2,300]::Lo smiles and waves to Eli:: No come in, though I don't know about the inteligent conversation part. ::turning back to Legolas she lays a hand on his arm:: I can take three guesses as to who you are thinking about, if its the first shes not worth the effort and if its Fox, then when are you going to tell her? You two could drive an elf to distraction.[/glow]

He nods at Elidor and looks back at Lo, his lips parted slightly.
Now, it's not-- he raises an eyebrow at the mention of said elf. Fox? Tell her...?
He sighs softly and smiles at Lo, shaking his head. The prince looks up at the ceiling and sighs again, deciding on a response.
I... cannot.

He looks at her meaningfully, his shoulder quite forgotten by them both and he smiles... a bitter smile.
Can you think of no reason?

[glow=magenta,2,300]::Lo sighs and shakes her head:: There is no reason, ever, to deny yourself love. Its so rare to find real love, as strong as what you feel for her.. I doubt your father would want you to throw that away. [/glow]

He sighs and runs a hand over his face, his tense features veiled in sadness. He speaks almost inaudibly.
It is my duty...

[glow=magenta,2,300]::Lo shakes her head and makes her way to the door:: She isnt a nobody you know... she might not be a Princess, but she in the kindest, purest loving being I've ever met. Which is better then any self rightious self serving, Princess. ::Lo gives him a very stern look and shakes her head, slipping back through the door::[/glow]

He watches her leave, his heart clentching painfully in his chest. The prince looks down at his things, a heap of bags and weapons. He sighs deeply and stares unseeing at the halls, his hand finding it's way absently to his shoulder again.
