Sorsha
She had reluctantly torn her eyes away from Legolas, inwardly cursing Aric and blaming him for all their misfortunes, regardless of whether he really deserved such attention. Yet for the good of the group - nay, to please Legolas - she had followed the plan dutifully, all the while knowing her heart would ache if anything happened to Legolas.
Now, in the distance, she sees Aric crouching by her fallen lover. No longer can she abide their wishes. She briskly walks forward towards them, her mouth almost opening to call Legolas, then clamping as she watches the ranger rise and make his way again.
Shaking her head somewhat resignedly, she chews her lips, knowing that she must let him go. For too long he had tried to please her; now was her turn to reciprocate.
"H... how is he?" ~ She whispers to Aric as she reaches him, her eyes never leaving the departing elven figure.
