		Castamir’s weight dropped heavily on the boot between the elf’s shoulders, pressing all the air from Legolas’ lungs and cutting off his protest as the prisoner was forced to gasp for air.
		Castamir had retrieved a long piece of rope and was busy tying some funny looking knots into it as Legolas caught his breath. Kneeling down he threaded the knotted rope under Legolas’ armpits and around his chest, passing the other end to Tyrion when it got out of his reach.
