   Summary

   Aragorn has spent enough time among Elves to know their customs.

   At least, Legolas assumes he has.

   So when Aragorn begins offering him choice portions of food, tending his wounds in public, touching his hair, sharing his space, and performing what appears to be an increasingly serious series of traditional elven courtship rituals, Legolas can only come to one conclusion:

   Aragorn is courting him.

   Naturally, Legolas decides to court him back.

   There is only one problem.

   Aragorn has absolutely no idea what he is doing.

   Or: Aragorn accidentally courts an Elven prince, Legolas enthusiastically reciprocates, and the entirety of Rivendell figures out what is happening long before either of them manages to have an actual conversation about it.
