Part 4 - Disagreement and Regret.
Legolas stopped trying to calm the fellow elf down once he had heard the statement made by the dwarf. The same dwarf that he was trying to defend. Slowly he turned and looked down on the Gimli who stood with his arms crossed looking very perturbed. Legolas could on longer heed what Aragorn had said about being civil with Gimli. His last ounce of patience had drained from his body.
Gimli saw that what he had said had stopped Legolas from speaking in elvish. Now he stood cross armed waiting for the elf to say something. The look that saw on the elf's face was not what he had expected. The expression he saw made him a little timid for he had never truly seen an elf become so enraged since by nature they were peaceful people. The elf's face seemed full of built up rage which was on the verge of getting released.
Legolas was about the take a step towards Gimli when Aragorn blessedly intervened.
~ Calm yourself Legolas ~ said Aragorn has he put a forceful hand on Legolas' chest.
~ He was insulted me to not end Aragorn! ~ raved the elf in rapid elvish. ~ I have held my tongue and temper long enough! ~ Legolas turned to Gimli glared at him.
"If the elf wants to fight by all means let me teach him a lesson." Gimli said nonchalantly while his fingers tightened on this ax that he grasped in his left-hand.
By now all motion in the great hall had ceased. All eyes lay fixed on the dwarf, man, and elf. Two other elves, with their keen hearing, entered from another room. Their only wounds were a few minor scraps. They saw the commotion and headed over.
Aragorn saw this motioned for them to assist him in holding the two apart. They walked over and stood behind their kin.
In his enraged state Legolas did not see his own two kinsman come and stand behind him. With a smirk on his face Legolas replied to Gimli. "You want to show me a lesson dwarf?"
Aragorn knew that Legolas was truly angry for we would never dishonor someone bye leaving out the 'master' in his addressing of them.
Legloas continued to speak. "I am sorry but I do not step down to that level."
At this point in the confrontation Legolas did not know why he was so upset over the dwarf. He had never felt like this towards the dwarf or anyone for that matter. He usually dismissed most of Gimli's snood comments. It was as if someone or something was making him feel this anger. Now he felt a twinge of guilt as to what he had just said.
Taking much offense in this Gimli lurched himself at the elf with a resounding grunt. Aragorn, with his quick reflexes, caught the dwarf before he could reach Legolas.
In seeing Gimli's movements Legolas reached behind his head to retrieve his eleven knives but he was stopped by a pair of strong hands grasping his wrists. He turned to see two elves standing behind him. He tried to wrestle free of their grasps but to no avail. More anger came upon him as to the fact that his own kin was hold him back from protecting his honor. He whirled his head around to see Aragorn struggling to contain Gimli.
Gimli flailed his legs and arms in an attempt to get free from the grasp of the ranger. * BLOODY ELF!! YOU'LL WISH YOU WERE DEAD ONCE I'M DONE WITH YOU* yelled Gimli in dwarvish.
Legolas, who was on simpleton when it came to language, knew what the dwarf was saying and it upset him to hear some who he thought was his friend say that.
After some long moments both dwarf and elf had calm down to a degree. Legolas, who had only a few elves around him, straightened his tunic and adjusted his cloak. He seemed some what embarrassed by his out burst. Gimli on the other hand was not so reluctant to stop. Aragorn still had a tight hold on his but he was not fight quite as much.
Legolas looked at Aragorn as though asking what he should do know. Aragorn merely gestured his head towards the door of the hall. Legolas, a little ashamed by his dealings, quickly heeded Aragorn and briskly pushed past the crowd that had formed and solemnly walked out of the great hall. His head bent down in regret.
"There look" shouted Gimli in seeing that Legolas had left. "He was a coward all the time. Running away like that spoiled brat that he is!"
Aragorn spun Gimli around to face him. "Remarks like that is what started this whole thing master dwarf. Do not push my temper by insulting my friend anymore." He paused and let his words sink in. "Now why don't you go and lie down to regain your strength it has been a trying day."
Gimli knew that he should obey what Aragorn had said. He nodded "Fine if that's what you think I should do. But I'm only going to say this once I'm not apologizing to that elf." with that he stalked off to the sleeping chambers.
Aragorn sighed as he watched Gimli retreat from the hall. He got to his feet and motioned for a nearby guard. "Follow him and make sure he gets to the sleeping chambers and not into the path of an elf."
The guard nodded and jogged out the back of the hall to follow the steaming dwarf.
Aragorn sighed and shook his head in disbelief. He never thought that Legolas would say such things to Gimli. He knew that things were tense between the two sometimes but for them to throw such insults at one and death threats at the other. It was baffling to him. The only thing he could think to do what was to talk with Legolas. As he started to make this way out of the hall to find him there was a commotion coming outside. He prayed that Gimli did not find Legolas or another elf. He quickly made his way outside. To his relief it was not the elf or dwarf. His relief soon left him when King Theoden marched quickly up to him.
"What is happening?" asked Aragorn.
" A small party of scouts were sent out hours ago to search the land for any remaining threats. I'm afraid there are still more evils the face in Rohan." Said Theoden solemnly. "Come we must figure out a course of action." With that he waked behind him and in to the Great Hall.
Aragorn turned and followed suit. Legolas would have to wait.
