Feeling her stomach tug and bite at her heart and other organs, Minna tried to think of a way to speak to this stranger. Breathing faster and looking around for orcs who might be watching, she looked up into Legolas' sweet blue eyes. They sent her into a small length trance, she had seen those eyes before. But the memory was blurry, so she gathered that it was from her baby moments. Taking a deep breathe, she looked up at him, "May i ask why you are looking at me?" she gulped, her voice sweet like Arwen's but strong like Aragorn's. 'I did it!' she thought, it was the first time she had spoke to anyone that wasn't her master.

Legolas frowned "Nothing" he said, shaking his head with a smile "You looked tired and hungry, that is all" he lied, leaning back on the wall of the cage and glancing at Falco.He had sat in the most shadowy part of the cage with his hood pulled up, as if he didn't want anyone to see him.
Legolas' attention turned to Minna again. She was awfully thin, and didn't look very well treated, so he supposed she had been a slave. He sighed with a frown, thinking how strange it was that both his and Aragorn's children had been through slavery, unknowingly belonging to royalty. She also seemed shy, as if she didn't dare to give her opinions out loud. Suddenly, he remembered the lembas he kept in a small bag tied to his belt, and unwrapped the elvish cakes carefully.
"Here" he said, handing some to her "It isn't much, but one small bite is enough to fill a grown man" he smiled and handed some to Falco, who accepted it silently, still watching from the shadows. The king shifted uncomfortably, feeling somewhat unprotected at not having any weapons and being shut in such a small cage.
"Do you know why we have been captured?" he asked the girl, supposing that maybe she had stayed awake longer than they had or she had seen something that they hadn't.

Taking the offered food slowly and gently, Minna pulled it close as if someone was going to take it away from her. Looking down at the odd thing she smiled slightly, "Thank you..." she then slunk down more, not knowing his name. Nibbling at it she swallowed the filling crumbs, 'Wow,' she thought, it was like nothing she had ever eaten before. Feeling her insides warm up she looked at him again, when asked the question "Afraid not. I was only trying o get away from. Them..." she gulped going quiet. She did not want to remember what had happened to her when she tried to get away, it stung at her mind and pulled on her heart.

Falco frowned from his spot in the shadows. Them... That was the word that was usually used for the slave masters, or at least he supposed she was talking about that. He shuddered, placing a hand on his forehead and gulping. It was forbidden by the king, but still slavery existed. Falco had been enslaved for a long time, and he knew how terrible it was. His master was especially cruel and merciless, and made his slaves work and work till they were exhausted and almost dead, not giving them hardly anything to eat. Then he would kill them and go and buy another one. Falco had been lucky, as his master had decided to keep him as a pet, but that didn't improve the conditions. He had been forced to sleep in a small cell with a small meal once a day, and work hard for the master. And if he did something wrong... he shuddered again, remembering sharp pain running through his body and harsh words. He still had some scars from his time there, though they were hardly nothing compared to what the orcs had given him.

Legolas nodded thoughtfully, understanding her words "Did the king Aragorn of Gondor not discover what they were doing to you? He is a good friend of mine, and hates slavery beyond anything" he shivered and closed his eyes, imagining Aragorn's rage at discovering that his daughter had been a slave. Legolas had reacted in the same way when he knew what had happened to Falco, and had promised to kill that master of his, aswell as every single orc that lay foot on Middle Earth. His hatred for orcs had always been great, but discovering that they had tortured his own son made him enraged and furious, and would not stop till they were all dead. Seeing foul beasts in front of him, guarding the cages, didn't help, because he couldn't approach them, nor shoot them down. His blue eyes glimmered angrily as he lay a hand on the bars of the cage, thinking of a way to escape.

Moving so she was almost lead on the bottom of the cage, Minna thought for a short while. "I have not know anyone but my master and the guards of Gondor. They always used to come after me when i went out beyond my masters door, but it was not them who put the most pain on me." she sighed. I twas only her master that had inflicted physical pain with the whip, chain or what ever he had. But the guards had always held her tight enough and dragged her back, she was always seen asa criminal of Gondor. And thought it would never change. She the remembered the Nazgul the king had appeared with his knights and her master, "Lord Aragorn was rather angry when the Nazgul spoke of my slavery, but what confuses me is that he believed a creature born of greed and darkness." she added nibbling on the food some more.

Legolas shook his head sadly "I am afraid that the nobility of kings is slowly decreasing once again. Aragorn is a good man, but is still consumed by sadness after his daughter's disappearance" he added slowly, supposing that she already knew the tale of the lost princess. Still, the king could not help wondering how elf slaves weren't noticed, but he shook his head and frowned at her next sentence "He must know about slavery, for I doubt he would entirely believe a Nazgûl, but they do not tend to lie about those things.

Falco shuddered, seeing the same fear in the girls face that he had experienced. He supposed that her master had been as mean as his, and wondered why she was here too. She didn't look like a member of royalty, but neither did he. The many scars that ran along his face, neck and arms were clearly visible, and he had learnt all his life to obey his master's orders, and if he didn't do everything perfectly, or if he complained, he was brutally whipped or hurt with some other item. So she could easily be a princess, though she didn't seem to know. Falco shivered, feeling slightly uncomfortable about being with these people. Even though Legolas was his father, they were complete strangers for him, and didn't dare to talk to them except when it was strictly necessary.
