Why does Aragorn still look at me like that? He made it clear that he would marry Arwen when the Quest ends. Legolas wondered as he stood waiting.
He had respected Aragorn's wishes and kept his distance, despite his love for the Man. It was the most difficult thing that he ever had to do, to stay away knowing Aragorn loved him back; and it had taken every ounce of his self-control and concentration to do so. He noticed things were not going well within the company and wished to help Gandalf maintain peace, but since most of the strife involved the Man, his hands were tied. He watched in alarm as the Man walked to stand only inches from him. Aragorn regarded him with such a smoldering gaze that the Elf was glad that his knees did not give way.
