Legolas glanced down at the elf whom 'Vanya' had pointed out to be Saelweth. To his surprise, this was the same elf who had fought alongside him, until she had transformed into a large carnivorous cat and had started tearing up the orcs. To his concern, he noticed the mounting bloodstains on her clothes, as well as the scarlet tainting the ground around her; everyone else, he noticed as well, looked just as exhausted, and there were quite a few wounded with the Skyrim company.
Skyrim. He rolled the strange word around on his tongue for a moment, murmuring it under his breath, but it didn't sound very familiar. Translating it into Sindarin did not work, either. The word sounded very vaguely familiar, and Legolas racked his brain, trying to recall if he had ever learned about this 'Skyrim'...
Yes! Skyrim was a country, distinctly alike to Rohan, that was located past the mountains to the East; but the peoples of Arda and folk of Skyrim rarely communicated; Legolas remembered learning this some long time ago, when he was an elfling. The Skyrim folk were not wicked, as he heard, so he softened his façade and bowed to Vanya.
Before he spoke, he knew the wounded would first have to be treated. He knelt by Saelweth, who was closest, and rummaged around in his meager pack for healing supplies. They had left most of their unneeded things back at Emen Muil (I don't know how to spell it, sorry, will look it up), but luckily he had thought ahead enough to bring this. He grasped 'Saelweth' on the shoulder in a silent request to stay still, and carefully began removing the ragged shreds of cloth from around the wound. He grimaced very slightly at the sight of it; an arrow wound, and it was jagged as well, as was wont of orc-wounds, so he gripped the shaft of the arrow stuck in it, braced himself and pulled. Luckily it was not overly deep, and it came out surprisingly smoothly, and he quickly set to mopping up and stemming the tide of blood, before closing the wound with a gentle but firm hand and wrapping the bandages around it.
