Just a Glimpse

The sun had well descended beyond the hills by the time the company arrived at the dwelling of King Thranduil. Lord Elrond and others from his household would be guests of the King for only that night, leaving as soon as the golden rays of sun kissed the tops of the trees.
Lady Celebrian along her children, the twins Elladan and Elrohir, and daughter Arwen, were led to their chambers while Elrond was left in discussion with Thranduil. Holding her mother's hand, Arwen followed their guide closely through the dimly lit corridors and passageways.
Suddenly, the guide stopped and bowed low to the young elf approaching them. Arwen noted that his hair shone much too bright in such dark surroundings and, this surprised her, he seemed to be similar in age as she. For Arwen was very young in elf years, and rarely did she find any whose age resembled her own.
The Lady Celebrian, curtsied slightly and greeted him, "Mae Govannen Legolas." She looked upon him with kind eyes and her voice was like a melody when it reached him tips of his ears. Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen in turn, all bowed and he returned the gesture.
Arwen caught and held his gaze for a moment before he turned and continued his way to wherever it was that he was going. She wanted to know more about the elfling and who was he so that even adult elves, both of Thranduil's house and of others, gave him notice.
The thought was quickly pushed aside as the comfort of a bed and the easiness of sleep drew her in.
