It was when he stopped for a second to rest that he got Legolas' momentary look, and that was what caused him curiosity-- had he screwed up somehow? He was still kind of knew at this whole "course of a dream" thing...

But then of course, there was much time to dwell on it, because he had to spin around and try to stab a troll in the face.
