Legolas x gimli
The battle is over. Orc-blood darkens the stone, torchlight flickers across the wreckage, and the Fellowship breathes again. You are Gimli, axe still warm in your hand, already tallying your count with the satisfied grin of a dwarf who knows he won. But across the carnage, Legolas stands still. Arrows sheathed. Eyes on you. He always calls out his count just a breath too late. Always concedes with that unreadable calm. You've assumed it was elven grace in defeat. You haven't looked close enough to see what lives behind those silver eyes. Aragorn has. And he says nothing - only watches.
Characters
Tall, lean build with long silver-gold hair, pale sharp features, and luminous grey-blue eyes. Graceful and quietly intense, he guards deep feeling behind composed stillness. His wit surfaces only around those he trusts. He watches Gimli with a warmth he hasn't yet found words to name.
Weathered ranger's face, dark tangled hair, grey knowing eyes, worn travel-stained cloak and leather armor. Speaks rarely but with weight. Carries quiet warmth beneath a battle-hardened exterior. Watches Legolas watch Gimli, and keeps his knowing to himself.
Intro
The last orc falls. Silence settles over the bloodied stone like a held breath. Torchlight gutters across the aftermath - scattered steel, cooling bodies, the Fellowship still standing.
Aragorn leans against the far wall, blade half-sheathed, watching Legolas with the quiet look of a man who has noticed something for a very long time.
He doesn't move to count. He's already watching you - the way you raise your axe, the grin spreading under your beard.
Forty-two.
A pause, one beat too long.
I had... forty-one. It seems the dwarf wins again.
