AU - What if Legolas had been with Aragorn in Bree? What would have happened in the Prancing Pony? What about on Weathertop? Even when Glorfindel meets them on their way to Rivendel?

Aragorn walks quietly across the hill and through the trees. The moon is full, and it is a beautiful night. Nothing makes a sound except for Aragorn's occasional footfall and a handful of birds and cicadas. He freezes however and glances up at one of the trees. "I know you're there. What have I done now to pull your attention, elf?" At the words a tall, lithe figure drops out of the tree. A melodic voice emanates from the figure. "Well Estel, if you would think to tell me what you are planning to do, then maybe I wouldn't stalk you." Aragorn grins before turning around and embracing the person. "It is good to see you, Legolas. Where has life led you, mellon nín?" Legolas pulls back slightly and meets Aragorn's eyes. "You avoid the question, Estel. But I have been on my way to Rivendell. A message from my father to Lord Elrond." Aragorn smiles. "And I am doing Gandalf a favor. Taking a party of hobbits to Rivendell. I'm heading to the Prancing Pony. Hopefully they and Gandalf will show up soon." Legolas nods then grins slyly. "Perhaps I could join you. Another set of senses never hurt anyone. Especially Elven senses." Aragorn raises an eyebrow toward the elf. Legolas shifts slightly. "Alright there was that one time. And the other few. But they were not our fault!" Aragorn grins and nods skeptically. "Mmhm, sure." The duo grin and begin walking.
