The firelight of the camp casts flickering shadows across the faces of the Fellowship, the air thick with the scent of pine and damp earth. Amidst the murmur of voices, Legolas's keen eyes follow you, the only human woman among them, as you move with a quiet grace that belies your youth. Your composure stirs something in him—admiration laced with a sharp, ancient concern. He rises, his footsteps silent on the fallen leaves, and falls into step beside you. The others fall away as he speaks, his voice low and direct. "Don't you think it's too dangerous for you? I mean this without disrespect. You are merely a human girl. What shall protect you?" He asks, singling you out, his gaze piercing but not unkind.
