Legolas clambered onto his seat next to Thranduil and stuffed a roll into his mouth. His grubby fingers grasped another roll and he scrambled around before climbing back off.

"Legolas, what do you think you are doing?" Thranduil interjected, stopping Legolas in his tracks.

Legolas slowly turned on his heels, a sheepish grin plastered across his face, "Mm...gebbbing smme bread?"

"Finish chewing first." Thranduil instructed patiently.

Legolas hurriedly chewed and swallowed the bun before repeating his sentence, "Just getting some bread..."

"Why are you so filthy?"

"I...well...cause I was playing...outside?" Legolas twirled one of his braids between his fingers, nervously.

Thranduil's eyebrows knit together, "Outside?"

"Yes?"

"Are you sure? You don't seem sure." Thranduil asked, standing up and striding over to Legolas.

The little prince looked down at his feet, "Yes, Ada. I'm sure."

"Why did you go outside without asking me first?"

"Well I guess I thought you would say no..." Legolas admitted.

"You still need to ask me. Understood?" Thranduil raised his voice slightly, trying to get the message across.

"Yes, sir."

"Look at me when I talk to you, ion nin."

Legolas obeyed and lifted his eyes up to Thranduil, "Tancave, Adar. Goheno nin." (Yes, father. Forgive me)

"I forgive you, little leaf. But you mustn't ever go outside without asking me first. It is dangerous." The King tried to explain to his son.

"I understand." Legolas again looked down, but Thranduil placed his hand beneath Legolas' chin and raised it back up, gently. He knelt down to Legolas' level, looking him in the eye.

"Le Melon, ion nin." (I love you, my son)

"Love you too, Daddy."

"Now, why don't you go clean up and then ask one of the maids to help you pack a bag." Thranduil instructed.

"Why?"

"Because we are going to go on a little trip, Legolas."

"Where are we going?" Legolas asked, becoming excited.

"Lothlórion. The Golden Wood, little leaf." Thranduil's eyes began to sparkle at his son's excitement.

"Really? And I get to come? Awesome!" Legolas dropped the other bun in his hand and flung his small arms around Thranduil.

"Yes, it is...awesome. Now scoot!" Thranduil ushered Legolas out of the room and made sure he got a bath started before leaving Legolas in the hands of a maid.

"We are going to leave tomorrow, Legolas."

"Okay, Ada! I'll be ready!" Legolas giggled as the kind maid led him by the hand into the bathroom.
