Legolas was surprised when his fellow students seemed to welcome him into their midst during lunch hour. His friend, Gimli, had returned to their room to change out of his armor for the afternoon's archery practice. Earlier during the swords training with Haldir, the Guardian told the Dwarf that he would not have the flexibility to draw a bow correctly in his heavy armor. The Elf had gained Gimli's respect during their practice session and the Dwarf decided he would heed the archer's advice in the matter. Upon repeated reassurances from the Elven Prince stating he would be alright on his own during lunch, Gimli reluctantly left his new friend and headed back to their room.
