*She shook her head briskly as she walked down the hall.*
"No. Just alluded to the fact that he knew her location. I can only assume that if the people are truly loyal....she's not here."

*Haldir followed her, protecting her in case King Orduag should return.*
"I have turned every stone in Lorien, Your Majesty. I promise you, Leetah is not here."
*He smiled, thinking of his little sister's temper.*
"We would have heard her then. A lot of yelling and bad words..... No Elven maid in Lorien can get mad like Leetah. Did she tell you about the time the King got to frisky with her, and she chased him away with a broom?"

*Tearbird paused, slowing her step to look at him.*
"No, but...I know that he fancies her. I am sorry, Haldir. This is my fault."

*Haldir slowed his step too, looking deeply into her eyes. She was so beautiful. Again he wished that he had been more than a warrior... She deserved the best.*
"No, it is not your fault, Your Majesty. It is his. Leetah has always refused him. She loves you, my Queen. As do her brother...."

*Tearbird stopped, taking him by the hand.*
"Haldir, please..."
*She longed to hold him, to comfort him. To tell him that if things were different, she would have chosen him. If she had had the right to choose.*
"We need to focus. To find her and bring her back safely."

*Haldir held her hand in his, enjoying the feeling, hoping it would last forever. He longed to take her in his arms, to protect her against all evil. He silently cursed the king, who had the right to call her his wife. And who treated her worse than an animal.*
"You know I can't leave you here alone with him. I need to stay here and protect you. My heart tells me that the witch Malefica, who became friends with Leetah, also knows about Leetahs troubles. She sent me thoughts that she would look for her, and bring her back. And I think that Don Juan Demarco went with her. I don't understand why he was in such a hurry though."
((Haldir doesn't know that Leetah is pregnant with Don Juans child))

*Tearbird smiled, sadness in her eyes as they sought his.*
"Perhaps love sped him to her. It is not unheard of for it to make men do foolish things."

*Haldir held her small hands between his big, strong, enjoying the feel of her soft skin against his. He looked deeply into her eyes, and his face got a serious expression.*
"In that case, my Queen, I am the greatest fool of them all....."

*Her hands trembled and she lowered her eyes to them, captured in his own. Strong and safe. She swallowed gently, trying to find some words to diffuse the tension between them.*
"But...you are no man. Our people..."
...they're noble, they don't need such things. They can do without...love.
*She swooned slightly, trying to steady herself with his hands.*

*Haldir looked at her. She was swooning. Quickly he wrapped her arms around her, pulling her close to him, to support her.*
"Your Majesty, My Queen, are you OK?"
*His voice was warm, and his eyes were worried about her.*

"Haldir..."
*He voice was faint and unsteady as she pressed herself closer to him. That was the only place she wanted to be at the moment, safe in his arms. She pursed her lips.*
"I have a responsibility...to our people. But I...if I could..."
It would be you.

*Haldir held her close to him, caressing her hair gently. His body was trembling from the love he felt for her. He kissed her on the forehead.*
"I understand, my beloved Queen...." *he whispered and looked her deeply in the eyes.*

*Tearbird let out a soft gasp as he kissed her forehead. The act was so tender, so unlike any before him. It made her heart flutter and she leaned her head back to look him more fully in the eye. So noble, so tender. His features took her breath away and through she dared not to speak the words, she wet her lips subconsciously, welcoming his own should he dare to grant them.*

*Haldir looked at her. She was so beautiful... so noble. She had not deserved a marriage to that brutal husband of hers. He wished that he could have been of royal blood, so he would have the right to propose to her... to give her a better life.....*
"I love you, Tearbird...." *he whispered.*
"I don't have the right to say these words. But you have the right to hear it."

*Tearbird felt faint again as her lashed fell heavy, veiling her eyes. She pulled herself up to kiss his lips gently in unspoken answer. She couldn't admit to love him back. It was forbidden, but...she scarcely trusted herself. Her lips were chaste on his, but somehow longing, promising silently that she understood and ached that she could not give him what he deserved.*
