1,000 years later...

Characters: Legolas ([personal profile] bow_of_the_galadhrim), OPEN
Setting: All over, any time of the week
Format: action brackets
Summary: The Tower is Forever event and Legolas thinks it’s been a thousand years
Warnings: None yet

FDorm floor
[That short pause that none truly notice went equally unnoticed by the elf, as he comes out of the showers freshly cleaned, but the change is great. The short hair he‘d been sporting for a couple weeks was gone, replaced by long hair just past his waist with braids through it. One ear, his left one, is pierced with a gold leaf shaped earring with silver veins through it and there‘s a gold band wrapped around one of his fingers. His eyes seem darker and more tired, clothes aren‘t as nice as they once were, exchanged for something comfortable but still styled after the clothes his people wear. He‘s not armed but he disappears into his room for just a moment and comes out heavily armed. The elf does not want to be unnarmed long.]

Graveyard
[For more than a thousand years, Legolas has come to this floor twice a week to pay his respects to those he knew who have disappeared. Gimli, Aragorn, Faramir, Boromir and his twins graves are all kept tidy and his quietly speaks a prayer for them in elvish. He no longer sheds a tear at the sight of these markers. They serve to remind him that they are not suffering this hell with him, that they managed to escape even if Aragorn had been returned.]

Forest, evening
[Swords in hand, the elf is going through what might seem like normal training exercises. Until one of the monsters comes out and then a streak of ruthlessness, one that is definitely not normal for the elf, comes out and he attacks. He manages to avoid becoming as bloody as his foe but when he‘s done, it‘s obvious that the monster never stood a chance.

And Legolas isn‘t even out of breath. Instead, he seeks out another monster and the pattern continues as he trains.]


Library
[He‘s in a far corner, far away from anyone else, with a book in his lap and a cloak covering his face. It‘s clear that Legolas is making an effort to avoid contact with other people. A small journal is beside him with a pen. Occasionally he stops reading and makes a note before going back to the book. Everything is written in elvish and it‘s mostly just a journal of things he wants to remember. He has quite a few more stashed in his trunk, enough journals to cover his many years.]

Anywhere else
[Perhaps Legolas is passing through another flood and you‘re there too. Feel free to stop him.]

Are you sure? [Peering at him, wondering whether to heal him anyways to make sure.]
notagiraffe: (smiley)

I'm glad. [Because Legolas could be sure Taiki would tattle on him to Haldir. Keeping him safe was important!]
notagiraffe: (small smiles)

But I do! [Taiki smiled softly and leaned on Legolas waiting for the last of the dizziness to leave him.] Because you don't worry about yourself enough.

[Taiki smiled at him] I'm glad. [He blinked] I think I can walk now.

[Taiki nodded, he had gotten used to blood sickness over the years and though it had never gotten any better he had gotten better at what he could manage to do. Moments where years ago he would have been unable to move at all he could now walk through, and he hated being a burden on others enough that he forced himself to do so. He walked shakily but determinedly.] I'm sorry I interrupted you... I can get back to my room on my own if you're busy...

[He still feels bad for it and he walks slowly trying his best to get back to his room without stumbling and clinging to Legolas.]
notagiraffe: (fear)

[personal profile] notagiraffe 2013-01-28 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Taiki curls up on his bed the moment they get there, walking had taken a lot of strength. He blinked at Legolas.] I'm fine... I can go and get some soon...
notagiraffe: (smiley)

[personal profile] notagiraffe 2013-01-29 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay... please don't inconvenience yourself... [He closed his eyes against another wave of dizziness and tries to smile.] I'm fine.
notagiraffe: (sleeping)

[Stubborn elf. Taiki is too dizzy to argue though so he smiled and closed his eyes, safe in the knowledge that he had friends to watch over him, even if he forever felt guilty about it.] Thank you...
