An Honest Mistake
by Rei hime

After delivering the re-forged sword to Estel, it occurred to Elrond to visit Legolas, who, being the only Elf among so many Men, might appreciate seeing a more familiar face.

Upon reaching Legolas' tent, he heard strange noises from inside: labored breathing, grunting, and Legolas crying as if in pain, "Ai! Ai!"

Fearing Legolas was being hurt, Elrond angrily pulled back the flap. What he saw rendered him too horrified to avoid the helmet that was hurled at him along with a furious roar of "GET OUT!!!"

How was he supposed to have known it was Legolas and Gimli's tent?
