Jecht ran his hands through his hair as he sat up. He walked around his room for a minute and stopped in front of a mirror. He was still attired in the old clothes he had wore earlier. Not very royal like, more like he had looked when he had first laid eyes on Thengise in the pub, the night before their adventures began. He opened the oaken door and walked about the city when he ran into Thengise with her friends and the wild child, he had been fighting earlier. The young woman appeared to have been crying. She passed him by with the others, but Thengise stopped by his side.
"What's with the girl?"
"Just a traveler, in need of a rest and food"
"Hmm" Jecht replied, he looked over at the girl's retreating back and then his eyes passed over Legolas, who gave him a knowing glare. Jecht nodded and then looked down at Thengise
"I have to tell you something..."
"Can't it wait?" Thengise asked, but Jecht was already pulling her into a more secluded area of the city.
"What's wrong Jecht? Forget my name?" She said jokingly with a smile. But Jecht's solemn face and hollow eyes silenced her musical laugh.
"You remember back at the pub, when we first met, when I promised to protect and to serve only you, then you told me that we were to be friends and that thickness of blood did not matter," Jecht said staring deep into her eyes, she nodded and she began to feel troubled. Jecht took a shaky breath and continued, "Oh but Thengise, it does matter, it does. You knew I was not a full elf, but only half of one. I am not allowed to board a ship at the Grey Havens. I am not granted eternal peace. You have greater privilage than I, and I do not want to be the one to keep you from that. I do not wish it and neither does your father. Blood does matter Thengise, it does..."
