Legolas' Role in The Hobbit. (Part One of the Legolas Saga.)

The Hobbit (From the viewpoint of Legolas)
“Oh, Tra-la-la-lally, here down in the valley. Oh! Where are you goin, with beards all a-waggin? No knowin’, no knowin’ what brings Mr. Baggins? And Balin and Dwalin, here down to the valley.” With that, Legolas looked out the window of his room in the house of Elrond. On the path from the west, a strange sight marched closer. It looked like Mithrandir leading a company of little children, no dwarves, yes! Thirteen Dwarves, and one odd creature, and Fourteen Ponies, and one horse. Legolas threw on his greenish gray cloak, and dashed to the table where Elledan and Elrohir sat still, enjoying plate and bottle. Beside them, Elrond’s youngest ‘son’ Estel, slept in his chair, too much Lake-town wine! Legolas thought, shaking his head.
“Elledan! Elrohir! Mithrandir draws nigh with a strange sight!” Legolas said, calmly, as Elrohir spat out a chicken bone.
“What is it, Mellon Nin Legolas?” asked Elrohir through a mouthful of chicken and wine. “Mithrandir, Thirteen Dwarves, and one odd creature too.” Legolas replied. Elledan and Elrohir had both just taken a swig of wine. Both simultaneously sprayed it out in great fountain jets.
“WHAT?” both cried in unison, gagging on wine that had gone the wrong way. Suddenly the doors to the
hall burst open. In walked the strange company, accompanied by lord Elrond.
“Thy halls are as curtious as ever lord Elrond.” Gandalf said politely.
"Hullo! I'm Bilbo Baggins B-A-Double G-I-N-S, the Hobbit at your service." the creature said politely.
"Thorin and Company at your service. I am Thorin, this is Dwalin, Ballin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Ori, Nori, Gloin, Oin, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur, and of course, our estemmed Burglar Baggins!" said a dwarf with a blue hood and silver tassles. The Hobbit looked at his feet, then muttered something about 'Expert Treasure Hunter', and Thorin shook that off quickly.
