   Summary

   “I was sent on this journey to protect all of you.” Even as close as they were, Pippin could barely hear the elf. “I failed.”

   Legolas’ hand slipped out of his and found the bandages at his wrists, touching them with the tips of his fingers. “All of my training, all of the centuries I have spent fighting until my fingers split open and my palms became raw… it was all for nothing when it counted most.”

   “But–”

   “Please, Pippin. I do not wish to talk any more.”

   “Alright.” Pippin swallowed back the guilt rising in his throat. Pulling his wrist away from Legolas’ hand, he took it in his own once more, pressing it to his chest.

   “So you can feel I’m still here, even when you sleep,” he explained quietly.

   (Legolas and Pippin have been rescued by the Fellowship. As they continue their quest towards Mordor, they find that not every wound can be fixed with just medicine, and that more terrible ones may be forming just below the surface.)

   (Sequel to Fool of a Took so unless you like being confused you should probably take a gander at that one first.)
