*takes the flute from her mouth and laughs softly*
I'll give you a hint. Your father Legolas is nearly 3000 years old, and yet he is still very young compared to the years I have seen. I can teach you if you like.

*laughs.* I have more, but I keep them hidden, unless they are too big to hide like the sword. *looks at the flute* Now, how in Middle-Earth do you play tat thing so well?

A few thousand years of practice might explain it, but it's not that hard,once you know the notes and scale.
*gets out another flute and hands it to Ia*

You have to blow gentler. Like this. *shows her playing a soft low note* Now you try. Place your fingers like this and blow across the mouthpiece rather than into it. *shows Ia where to put her fingers*

That's OK. You got it a second ago. Just be patient and practice all the time.
*gets out a small book*
Here. You can use this for a while. It shows you how to play each note and has some simple song to practice. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

*smiles* Why thankyou Ia. I just believe in being nice to people. It is the only way to gain true respect, trust and friendship. I must say though, I haven't seen Legolas anywhere for a few days. I wonder where he is. *sits there for a moment deep in thought, and then turns back to Ia* Anyway, you keep practicing and you'll be a master in no time. After all, we Elves have all the time in the world. *smiles again begins to play her flute once more*
