He was talking to him. He couldn't be real but when Legolas closes his eyes to will the vision away, he didn't disappear. And he sounded so real. It was amazing how much could be taken from his memory and recreated so flawlessly. Why? He still had no idea why. Why Thranduil and not one of the Wise? Or Haldir?

Suddenly he felt like he might be sick, hand reaching out for something to support him and reminding himself that none of this can be real.
