Glynnii's pov
I walk beside Thallan down the hallway, towards the dungeon. It feels like a great burden has been lifted, now that I know that Legolas is fine. For now, I remind myself. The image of pain filling his blue eyes, flashes in my mind. I shutter.
"Are you alright?" Thallan asks, turning towards me. I nod.
"Yes, Thallan, I'm fine." I bark. "Why do you keep asking me that?" I demand. I instantly feel bad for being so harsh. Thallan's eyes widen in surprise.
"Well, I just wanted to be sure you were okay," He stammers, which I had never heard his do. I must have really scared him. "And I know how much you're worried about Legolas." I feel heat rise to my cheeks for realizing how brashly I had acted out. Not wanting him to see my embarrassment, I turn my face and walk ahead of him. I hear him sigh and his footsteps quicken.
"Glynn..." He starts, I hear him stop. I stop.
"I'm sorry Thallan." I blurt out. I feel arms wrap around me.
"It's alright Glynn." He murmurs in my ear. I feel my heart thud against my chest. Thallan had never acted like this before. This was strange. Slowly, I pull away from him.
"Show me where this Gollum is." I state. He walks next to me and smiles slightly.
"Ah, yes, you're new position." He takes my hand, but I let go. I notice him frown slightly when I do so. We head deep into the dungeon until we come across a smaller cell.
"Here we are." Thallan tells me. He leans closer. "Try not to talk to the fella, he's, well, let's say....insane." I frown.
"He can't be that bad." I comment, peering though the cell bars. I feel Thallan's breath on my neck, and I shiver uncomfortably.
"He hides far back in his cell, talking to himself as if there is someone else there." He murmurs. I squint, trying to see any sign of movement in the cell. Sighing, I turn around as Thallan starts to walk away.
"So just guard him, don't befriend him or anything," He says. "We don't want him escaping like those blasted dwarves did. I'll check in later." He adds with a slight smile, before leaving me to my new position.
