Is there any particular reason why you are adding a long 'o' sound to the end of my name when pronouncing it? Aye, my name is a simple one but I am fond of it as it is. There is no need to embellish it in any way.

While we are on the topic of names, I regret to inform you that no one, least of all Master Baggins whom I know little of, will like as their 'username': sodonewithyourshit or indeed, any variation of it.

In fact, seeing my own, one might question your taste altogether.

I would allow her some outlet, friend, else she express herself in a manner even less pleasant to you.

[He thinks it's funny.

But elves are trolls, so.]

[ohmybard]

Aye, that much I can agree. It is mostly harmless right now and more baffling than anything else.

She once considered that other name for me, only to decide on this current one for me due to some sort of joke she heard elsewhere.

[No doubt Thranduil is the biggest troll of them all.]

[elvenking]

[No, his son is worse.

At least he is in the books. In the movies he's a dull dud and Thranduil is really, really glad his own isn't like that.]

How she plays you is more important than what she names you. You can tell mine was somewhat uncreative with my name.

[ohmybard]

[Bard was rather dull in the books too, alas. No sense of humour at all.]

Surely the name she gives shows something of what she views you as, whether true or not.

[elvenking]

[He was okay enough to be bros with Thranduil.]

I suspect she was only glad it was not taken already. And more than a little smug.

[ohmybard]

[Bros with a common cause and a shared opinion that Thorin was an ass!]

I believe she also considered bardthebowman but wanted something...special. I would have liked the common one better in all honesty.

[burgling]

[But he makes loads of sodonewithyourshit faces.]

[ohmybard]

[So did Bard. But yes, Bilbo had the bulk of them.]

[livingdeadboy]

[ Peering at that username. ]

You're a bard, huh? Awesome! I play the guitar, let's jam sometime.

[ohmybard]

Ah! I'm afraid that is just my name, not what I do. Though I flatter myself in thinking that I have a fine singing voice!

[aduial]

[ it is difficult not to smile at that. tauriel does her best to ignore to, and lifts her shoulders in a light shrug instead. ]

As they say, it could always be worse.

[ohmybard]

[Bard totally saw you trying not to smile.]

Indeed! Thought it leads me to wonder as to the exact state of her mind!

[aduial]

[ crap! ]

Amused, perhaps. Or perhaps she simply bears a great deal of affection for you?

[ hey, it's possible. and she might be trolling a little. ]

[ohmybard]

[His archer's eyes sees all, Tauriel.]

Definitely amused and mostly at my expense I would say. I am not sure I can for her brand of affection in this case.

[Bard has been reliably warned that all elves are trolls.]

[aduial]

[ definitely inconvenient for her. ]

Are you certain? You certainly do not appear to be suffering from the bearing of it.

[ well, she will continue on, then! ]

[kingsdaughter]

Why is she callin' you Bardo?

[Totally innocent question. Sigrid barely even looks up from darning a sock.]

[ohmybard]

I do not know, my dear. My thoughts of our scribes are confusing and odd.

[Bard gives her a wry smile.]

[kingsdaughter]

[She is darning your sock btw. Stop wearing the heels out.]

No doubt. [She shakes her head, soft curls swaying around her face.] My name makes no sense at all.

[ohmybard]

[It's not his fault he spends most of his day standing with his bow half drawn looking heroic.]

No doubt your scribe is thinking of things that have no bearing in this day and age. [In another life, you would indeed be a king's daughter.]

[kingsdaughter]

[That cannot be good for the bow.]

But Girion was the Lord of Dale, not the king.

[thenpoof]

And what's wrong with a little embellishment?

[ohmybard]

But that is not me, Master Dwarf. If you are interested, my scribe has also embellished your name.

[thenpoof]

Oh? [Does he want to know? Of course he does.]

[ohmybard]

[He's feeling a great deal of second-hand embarrassment.]

... Boffykins.

Pray do not ask me what it means or why because I do not know.

[thenpoof]

Boffykins. Oh well, that's not so-hey! [He frowns.] I'm not some cute pet, y'know.
