#9 Those blue eyes
Legolas is so depressed that he runs away and tries to live a fake life. Can his friends find him now that he won't look like himself? I've edited and reposted chapter one so I hope its an improvement


"Legolas!" Gimli yelled, seeing a familiar figure across the cavern.

Crossing the cavern was made more complicated by the line of deep pools that the Deeping Stream ran through. Hesitant to mar the beauty of the chamber, the dwarves had constructed only the fewest, smallest bridges that they could. By the time that Gimli had arrived, Legolas had almost disappeared down one of the long hallways connecting to other caverns.

"Legolas!" Gimli yelled again, and hurried to catch up.

Legolas turned to face him, displaying on of the strangest things Gimli had ever seen. Attached to his face was a clump of wool, covering much of his mouth and chin.

"Who is this Legolas?" Legolas asked in horribly accented Khazad. "I'm... err... Durin."

For half a second, Gimli considered playing along. Then he remembered that he had Responsibilities to his caves and his people.

"Legolas," he said flatly, "You're six feet tall. You're maybe two-thirds as wide as the average dwarf. It's going to take a lot more than a fake beard to disguise yourself."
