Once again, really good that the memory of Legolas' captivity is lingering in his mind. Thranduil killing each and every orc may bring some closure, but it's realistic that Legolas realized that it won't be as easy as that. It's a *small* victory, but it's not even the last battle he will have to fight. But in the end, friendship overcomes all for these two:)
Author's Response: I think Legolas will be haunted by memories of his captivity and Aragorn's 'death' for some time to come, but I doubt he will have to (or have a chance to) deal with them alone. ;-) It would be nice if killing the 'bad guys' would take care of the memories, too, but it simply does not work that way. At least the death of the orcs means some kind of closure - it will not happen again, not to Legolas nor to any other unfortunate elf. I agree completely, friendship really overcomes all for these two. You just have to love them. *g*
