A/n: Been awhile since I wrote the first two parts. 

Glorfindel plopped down beside Salgant who sat curled under a tree with a book cradled in his lap. Salgant looked over slowly at Glorfindel who laid back and let out a sleepy sigh.

"I thought you were going to be patrolling all day," Salgant said.

"I was but it's nice out so I decided to take a little break and check up on you," Glorfindel said sitting up and then having to brush leaves out of his hair. Salgant gave a half-smile and said, "I'm fine today."

"Always good," Glorfindel said. It had been a few months and Salgant was making very good improvements. Yes, he still was distant, had full-blown panic attacks, horrible nightmares which caused his old scars to start hurting, and a few other things. However, he was smiling more as well as eating better. As well had keeping himself more or less put together. He also sat out in the open more often rather than lock himself in his room. Elrond said even though he still had a lot to work through those small things where a huge improvement compared to how they found him.

"So. What are you reading?" Asked Glorfindel as he scooted over to sit beside Salgant.

"Just a book for songs to play on a harp. Lord Elrond has been encouraging me to try and play it again. He said it'll help if put my emotion into words in a song or just played if things get hard for me." Salgant said. Glorfindel nodded and patted Salgant's shoulder who turned the page of the book.

As Salgant read Glorfindel stretched back and moved his legs out. They sat in silence before a child's voice called out, "Glorfindil!"

Glorfindel looked up and chuckled as he saw little Arwen coming over with her mother close behind her. He sat forward and asked, "What can I do for you little maiden?"

"Mamil took me flower picking today and I made it for you!" She said proudly holding out a flower crown that was slightly messy but it was colorful. Filled with yellow and white followed shone in it.

"I picked gold since it matches your hair!" Arwen chirped happily. Still being a little elfling she could just reach Glorfindel's head to plop the flowers crown on. Of course, the elf did duck hid head a bit for it to be plopped on but that did not matter.

"I made one for you too!" She claimed happily holding one out for Salgant; who looked up surprised.

"Me?" He asked. She nodded happily and walked over to Salgant and when he lowered his head she placed it on his head.

"Well? Do you like them?" She asked looking at both of the former lords.

"Of course," Glorfindel replied.

"Yes. It's very nice...thank you," Salgant replied softly with a light smile. Arwen grinned happily and held out more flower crowns.

"I made more for Eretor, my Atya, Eldan, and Elhir." She added said proudly. Glorfindel could only imagine the twin's reaction but it's hard to say not to Arwen, especially when it comes to her flower crowns.

"I think they'll love them," Glorfindel said. He knew her father would wear it till the flowers all withered but Erestor. He was sure that with the way he worked he may not even notice it on his head.

"Arwen," Celebrian said coming over. "Go on ahead to Atya, I'll be there soon."

Arwen nodded and scampered off. When she was out of earshot Celebrian turned to Salgant and said, "I spoke with the cooks this morning and I made sure that they'll have those tarts they made last week. I remember you said you liked them."

"I do but you didn't have to do that. I don't want to trouble anyone." Salgant replied.

"It's no problem at all. Besides they are delicious." She said the last part her eyes twinkled with a smile.

"As always if you need anything you are always welcome to come to me or my husband." She added.

"Thank you Lady Celebrian," Salgant replied softly but a small smile brightened his face.

"Please. Just call me Celebrian." She said gently. Salgant nodded a little and looked down half because of the special attention the other half since he was not sure how to handle this. The mood grew a bit strange luckily Glorfindel eased it up when he asked, "Do I get any of these tarts in question?"

"No. Last time they were made I clearly saw you sneak one away," she said with a smile.

"You did too," Glorfindel replied.

"I did no such thing," She replied still smiling.

"Of course you didn't my lady," Glorfindel said as he gave a bow from his seated position causing the flower crown to flop off his head. She shook her head and gave a polite nod to Salgant and one to Glorfindel before walking off.

"She didn't have to do that," Salgant said once she was gone.

"She's a mother, she can't help but mothering everyone," Glorfindel said.

Salgant moved his sleeve across his face and sniffed lightly. Glorfindel moved over and gently asked, "Salg?"

"I'm fine. It's just...nice to be cared about." He said his voice still soft from before.

"Well, its Elrond and his family. If you find anyone nicer...well let's just but it as an impossible task." Glorfindel said. Salgant laughed lightly as he carefully pulled a very loose flower from the crown and smiled fondly at the small bloom in his hand.

"Glorfindel?" Salgant asked after a moment of silence.

"Hmm?"

"It'll be okay if I keep the flower crown on...right? No one will mind?" He asked.

"Don't worry about it Salgant, you're fine,"  Glorfindel said patting his back. Salgant turned to Glorfindel and said, "Thank you." 

"Course," He replied as he smiled as he settled back again. Salgant turned back once again to the book and turned the page. 

~~~

Salgant felt a little nudge after some time he blinked opened his eyes and sat up a bit more. He yawned and sat up the flower crown he had been given had fallen in front of his face slightly. He sat back and rubbed his eyes before raising his head to face Glorfindel. 

"Hey there sleeping beauty," Glorfindel said with a laugh. 

"Hmm," Salgant said yawning a bit. "I fell asleep?" 

"Yeah, just for a few hours. I came to see if you wanted lunch," Glorfindel replied. Salgant nodded and stood up wrapping his arms around the book. He followed Glorfindel towards the kitchen.

"Any songs in there that catch your eye?" Glorfindel asked.

Salgant looked at the book a bit and replied with a simple shrug.

"Sure you'll find something to spark an interest," Glorfindel replied with a smile. Salgant nodded with a slight smile. 

Salgant got a plate of food and balanced the book under his arm. He then said, "I am going to eat in my room." 

Glorfindel gave a nod as Salgant slinked off back to his room. Once he was gone the golden-haired elf grabbed an apple then headed to Elrond. 

~~~

Elrond looked up from the papers on the table a flower crown positioned on his head as he worked. "Glorfindel, is anything wrong?" He asked. 

"Not sure. Wondering when's the last time you checked over Salgant." He replied. 

"His wounds or do you mean talked to him how has he been doing mentally?" Elrond asked. 

"Both," He replied. 

Elrond sat back and said, "His wounds are almost all healed up, he's eating much healthier, and as for mentally you know that still is going to take work. I talked to him the other day and tried to get him to play the harp again but that still is taking work." 

"I know that part but I wish he would spend more time with others," Glorfindel said. 

"He's eating alone again?" Elrond asked. 

Glorfindel nodded and said, "At least he can be around others without breaking down." 

"Yes. My daughter told me he was happy at the flower crown," Elrond said. 

"Yeah. He's good with kids and he enjoys being with your kids." Glorfindel responded. 

Elrond smiled and said, "They told me they enjoy spending time with him too. They find all the things he can do cool and interesting. Ah yes, my family does enjoy helping out those who need it."

"So, the best we can do is just be there as he needs it," Glorfindel said. 

"Yes. That is the best thing we can do," Elrond replied. "For the time being all we can do is stay here for him as he needs." 

Stay tuned for some more parts!
