--------------------

Part IV. Lost and Found

Haldir walked through the halls of Imladris toward the chambers used by the prince during his stays there.

He knew the route well, for he had seen the chamber himself on occasion. That brought back memories that were both beautiful and painful for the Galadhrim. When he got there he knocked on the door. When there was no answer he tried the doorknob, finding the room to be unlocked. The chamber was cloaked in darkness. Haldir waited a moment for his eyes to accustom to the darkness, and peered around the room, a deep frown on his face. It looked as though it hadn't been used in quite some time. Well, that answered one question at least. Legolas had been sleeping in someone elses bed. A jolt of pain speared through Haldir's heart. He had suspected, but hadn't been sure. And this confirmed things. Now to find out who it was. Although he already had a fairly good idea. His face darkened into a scowl. Well, he didn't know where Legolas was, so it looked like he would have to wait to talk to him. He had been hoping... but no, he wouldn't dwell on it. Shaking his head, he quietly exited the room, closing the door behind him. He stood there a moment, just thinking, before he began his trek back to the guest chambers he had been given. Well, Rumil will be happy he thought uncharitably.

Haldir stopped abruptly as he heard voices. One of them very familiar. His heart began to race as he quietly crept down the hallway and peered around the corner. He saw two figures passing in the darkness and he quickly slipped into the shadows.

"Erestor, where are we going?" Legolas slurred confusedly, leaning heavily upon the advisor's shoulder.

Erestor chuckled. "We're going back to our chambers. Legolas, You're so smashed."

"I am NOT smashed!" Legolas slurred indignantly, "I—am a Wood Elf." He drew out the words as if that explained everything and performed a rather off balance bow.

Erestor looked at the young elf fondly. "Yes, well, you are a smashed Wood Elf."

"Don't be silly, Wood Elves don't get smashed," Legolas stumbled a little falling against Erestor heavily.

"Yes, well most Wood Elves don't down half a gallon of Dwarven Mead in one shot. What on earth were you thinking?" Erestor scolded lightly.

"Twas a bet, meleth. Had to defend my honor." Legolas explained.

"Oh, well you certainly defended it all right," Erestor stated sarcastically.

"The twins never woulda let me live it down. Had to accept." Legolas drawled.

Erestor chuckled. "That's certainly a good reason to get inebriated. Let's get you to bed."

"Don' wanna go to bed. Not tired." Legolas stated, his head rolling to land on Erestor's shoulder.

"Am I going to have to carry you?" Erestor asked amused.

"Is that an offer?" Legolas stated bluntly, leaning in close to the advisor.

Erestor shook his head, pushing Legolas away slightly. "Oh no you don't. You wreak of alcohol."

"Ah, don't be a sore sport!" Legolas argued, "You need to loosen up 'Restor."

"I know I know. But first, you need to sober up."

"But thas not fun." Legolas stated truthfully.

"Oh you'll be thinking differently in the morning when you suffer from a major hangover." Erestor predicted.

"Hrmph" Legolas grunted noncommittally.

"We're almost there." Erestor stated.

Haldir followed the oblivious couple slowly down the hall.

As they reached Erestor's bedchamber door Legolas lost his balance, toppling down to the floor, pulling an unwilling Erestor with him.

"Love you," Legolas said, cuddling up against the downed advisor.

Erestor smiled indulgently. "I love you too, but you're an unfair tease."

"'Mm not!" Legolas disagreed huffily.

"Oh yes you are. Getting me to anticipate a wonderful evening of passion only to be too drunk to follow through."

Legolas mumbled into Erestor's shoulder. "Hm... maybe, but you love me for it anyways." Legolas replied smiling sweetly.

Erestor smiled fondly at the youth. "Curse me, but yes I do. I wouldn't have you any other way meleth nin."

Erestor made to get up but Legolas was loath to let go. "'Restor, stay." He mumbled.

"In the hallway?"

"Umhmm." Legolas' eyes unfocused as he drifted off.

"Oh no you don't, we're already here, just a few more steps." Erestor explained shaking the sleepy prince awake. Barely succeeding, he pulled Legolas to his feet and half dragged him into the room, placing him on the large bed. He quickly stripped the blonde elf and tucked him into bed.

Erestor quickly stripped and fell in exhaustedly beside him. Before he could situate himself better Legolas had already snuggled up beside him, comfortably ensnaring him in an embrace. Erestor smiled down at the sleeping elf before blowing out the lit candle and following him in dreams. Neither elf aware of the piercing aqua eyes and shadowed figure standing in the still open doorway.

t.b.c...

Notes: A drunken elf, I couldn't help myself. XP Just having a bit of fun. Sorry guys, I know you all were hoping for a nice smutty love scene, maybe the next day. XD I'm so bad. Poor 'Restor. snickers X3 I'm being a real tease in this story aren't I? Feed my muse reviews and you won't have to wait too long for the next chappie. Yes, that's playing a little dirty, but so be it. grins The muse made me do it.

And for those that didn't catch on about the chapter title, basically it just means Haldir didn't know where or with whom Legolas was staying (with), and now he does.
