Legolas makes a decision despite orders....

-**--**-

Legolas knew that Aragorn was struggling to hold back his laughter and wished that he were closer so that he could smack the ranger across the head.

The elf had freely given up his weapons… Those that happened to be obvious of course; there were still five daggers hidden upon his body, two against his wrists, two tucked into his boots and one lying against his spine.

And Legolas had no intention of giving those up.

Mithrandir gave Legolas a bland look that clearly stated that he knew exactly what Legolas had not given up… But the white wizard’s eyes were laughing just as much as Aragorn’s were.
