Elrond
The small golden haired child was, admittedly, confused when he came to, curled up outside someones room next to a barrel of wine. Well, this was odd and that was actually a bit of an understatement. At least there was a name on the barrel.

“Elrond?” Huh. That name looks familiar. Glancing up at the name marked on the door, he realized why. The same name was marked there! He couldn‘t just leave this outside the room, anybody could take it and that would just be rude! And he recognized the design on the barrel, it was from Mirkwood. So it definitely should be wasted.

Fixing his clothes so that it didn‘t look like he‘d slept in them, he knocked at the door.

OPEN
By now, Legolas had found his way to the kitchen and was climbing onto the counters to look in cabinets and find something to eat. It didn‘t take him long to find something that looked good (not as good as food cooked in Mirkwood but good enough) and he jumped down and started nibbling at it before looking around.

Galadriel and Celeborn
After eating a bit with others and adventuring around the castle some more, Legolas eventually got back to the kitchen and investigated a bit more. Eventually turning up a bottle of wine. Well, no one was around to say no…

He‘s not used to bottles for wine, and the cork is sticking out a bit so he‘ll try to yank it out with his hands and fail. And then resort to trying to use his teeth. This is how a certain pair of elves may find him!

There was a look of horror on the elflings face at Celeborns suggestion of locking him in a room. And he was about to object, rather rudely, when the lord chuckled and he glanced between them both before huffing again. This really was not turning out as fun a day as he had hoped and thought he might have to sneak away when next they weren't looking.

At least he could sigh in relief as his humiliation was avoided. Even better when Celeborn slipped him the candy and he looked up curiously at the taller elf before grinning and slipping it into his pocket.

"I'd rather go play, my Lady." Might as well be polite. And definitely not the same thing. Babysitters are boring and made to escape from.

Celeborn gave the little elf a quick smile before patting him on his head. "You would rather go play than spend time with us?" He shook his head in disapproval. "I'm actually hurt, but I guess it cannot be helped." After successfully ruffling that fluffy blond mane, Celeborn shooed the child away.

"Go. Off with you before we change our minds." He playfully grumbled as he waved Legolas off. "Just please stay out of trouble."

Galadriel just laughed and nodded in agreement with her husband, lightly laying a hand upon his arm before addressing Legolas herself. "As you wish, then. But do not think we will not hear of any mischief."

Well, that was a different ending that Legolas had expected. And for a moment, he wasn't sure about whether or not they were serious, expecting one of them to tell them they were kidding or to steer him towards the library or something. And that warning about them hearing about any mischief he might cause just kind of ruined the fun of sneaking off.
