FEEDBACK: PLEASE!!!
Darkness. For days and weeks, nothing but darkness. They cannot risk a fire, Gandalf was adamant and stubborn in that respect. They rely on Legolas and his keen eyes and the glow of Gandalf’s staff.
Boromir feels as though his mother's womb was a black cave of stone and dust and all he's ever known is the chill of granite beneath his head and the aching quiet of stagnant air. He stifles his tears with the back of his hand when they stop for rest, and silently cries for the sun on his face and verdant grass between his toes.
***
Boromir is sometimes grateful for the isolation that darkness brings. For while in this tomb, no one may see him falter. Except Legolas. He feels the pull between Boromir and the ring, catches glimpses of spilt blood and dying pledges, and tries desperately to stay away.
But when Boromir loses his feet and stumbles into the shadows, scraping his hands through coarse gravel and sand, Legolas catches him by the arm and can see the Eye’s unholy shine.
And Legolas forsakes what his heart and mind tell him and throws away his caution, and Legolas does his best to distract.
***
He beguiles in dark corners and fleeting words, hoping a desire for flesh will over come the desire for power.
When Legolas leaves boromir to fumble with his laces, Boromir raises his chin from his chest and spies the Ringbearer sleeping before him, glinting gold and mithril, and all does not seem so dark.
Inevitably, as they leave the cave and step into the light, the distractor becomes distracted; Legolas is not drawn to the Ring, rather, *his* heart feels the pull of a Potentate.
He begins to loose his fervor for diversion and he knows Boromir's focus is not him. And he doesn’t care.

I guess I just have to learn that sometimes hinting can be much more powerful than straight out saying something, regardless of how many flowery phrases the longer version would allow. And there are enough and sublte and well placed hints-- the laces, the reactions to light and dark, the attractions each character feels.
I can't wait for the attractions that a part 4 promises.
hugs :)
