Part Twenty-three
Thranduil was sitting in the kitchen as he often did, eating while he watched Bell bake. He poured honey onto a plate and dipped his bread into it. As he took a bite, he said, “Do you think it’s time we found Legolas a wife?”
“More importantly, does he think it’s time we found him a wife?” Bell asked as she put the last loaves in the oven and sat down with her tea to wait for them to bake.
“Well, I haven’t asked him,” Thranduil said as he poured himself a cup of tea.
“Why exactly does he need a wife?”
“Everyone needs a wife.”
“I don’t have one and you never took another,” Bell said as she added a little honey to her tea and sipped it slowly.
“I have never wanted another.”
“Maybe you should let him find his own wife. You found yours.”
“Remember some of the prospective wives my father had me meet?”
Bell burst out laughing. “Do you remember that one elf from somewhere near Gondor? She was some sort of princess?”
“The one who asked my father if I was a little off in the head?”
“Well, we did put a bag of bugs in her bed,” Bell reminded him. “I was afraid she might kill us when she found out who did it.”
Thranduil was laughing as hard as Bell was. “She’s lucky! It could have been spiders!”
“We did put spiders in the tent of the one that Gildor brought to meet you.”
Thranduil stopped for a moment and started laughing again. “Legolas’ mother and her sisters put a snake in my saddlebag when I first met her.”
“You never told me that! It’s no wonder I liked her so much!”
Thranduil grew almost serious. “Do you think it would be all right to hint to Legolas that he might be thinking about a bride? “
“As long as you warn him to keep a lookout for spiders and snakes as well. How about some more honey and bread?”
Thranduil nodded as she cut them both a slice of fresh bread.
