Laeriel felt the momment between Aragorn and Legolas to be private, so she left the room. She suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable and out of place. She was in a strange city, with strange people, very far away from home. It had never occurred to her she might become homesick.
Still, though, her heart was happy to be here. In all the thousands of years she'd walked the earth, she had never dreamed she would leave the forest. However much she loved the forest, she always wondered how the rest of mother nature's creatures lived. And even though she really did miss the wispering of the trees, she had never seen such spectacular halls of stone, such beautiful tapestries, such people. Laeriel suddenly realized this was the first time she had ever seen humans. They were strange creatures, tall and clumsy, but beautiful in their own way. She also realized that, until she saw Legolas, she had never seen an elf. Now, elves seemed much closer to her own kind than this race of men. Although her people scoffed at elves for dealing so closely with humans, she secretly was curious of them. Now that she had seen an, she desired to know so much more about them. Her only regret was that they were leaving, passing out of Middle Earth, never to return. As her people too would leave, but in a differnt way.
Laeriel was so deep in thought that she did not realize she had left the castle and was now walking in the courtyard. She was called back to reality when it struck her that she was outside. Now she felt more at ease. She prefered to smell the air and walk with dirt under her feet. Her feet, that's right, she was barefoot. Laeriel suddenly felt a bit foolish. It is not proper to run around barefoot in a place such as this. She also was not wearing proper clothing either, her bare arms and legs were most definately not suited to be around people. No wonder people in the castle were giving her queer looks.
Laeriel decided not to let it bother her, though. She wouldn't let anything bother her. All that mattered was that she was here, seeing something new. She yawned. Laeriel was quite tired, and hungry. Yes, very hungry. She hadn't had anything to eat in days. Laeriel looked at the sun, it was getting late, almost 5:00. It was just that morning that everything happened, it seemed like days ago. Laeriel hoped that Legolas and Aragorn were saying all they needed to in private, she needed to know where she was staying for the night, and if there'd be food. Her stomach grumbled loudly as she made her way back to the castle.
