Mundane. Dear Lady Mundane.

I would not seek to condemn Gimli to this castle, pleased as I am sure he would be to see the Lady Galadriel again. And I admit that I would be glad of his company. His is a far more pleasant presence than that of Thorin Oakenshield.

Nor are you being so subtle as you think you are.

[aduial]

Subtlety has never been a particular strength of humanity, has it?

[ she is mildly amused, though. ]

It is a wonder this castle has not been torn asunder yet if you are confined within its walls with that dwarf.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

No, I fear not but she has does, at times, surprise me. This was simply not one such time.

[Legolas can't help a faint grin of his own. He's been very careful to avoid Thorin. Even though their rooms are in the same hallway.]

I fear the castle would punish me were I to try.

[sonof_thrain]

Master elf. [Oh no. Not you again. I did save your life from that Orc though.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Master Dwarf.

[That was in the movie though and Legolas knows better than to let an orc get the one-up on him.]

[tossme]

Whose castle? [Will there be fighting? Food? Ale? All three?!]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[All three. Or at least food and ale with the potential of fighting.]

The castle belongs to none but itself. It is alive and wields a magic greater than anything in Middle Earth.

[tossme]

[He snorts.]

And I'm the king under the mountain.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Gimli. It turned me into a fawn, made of me a human once. And made me believe that the Lady Galadriel was my mother.

[tossme]

Oh. Well. That is certainly troubling. [He bites his lip. Trying not laugh at you friend.] I'm sure you were a lovely fawn.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Oh my gosh, Gimli! It wasn't funny.]

Lovely perhaps but it is not without difficulty adjusting to walking on four legs and then upon two once again when the loss was ended.

[smirks]

I'm sure you'd not be able to handle it yourself.

[tossme]

Bah. It would be easy for me. We dwarves can master any situation.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Hm, I'll not believe it until I've seen it with my own eyes.

[Gimli as a fawn. He'd PAY to see that.]

[tossme]

You never will. Me? Turned into a fawn? Impossible. [He's too smart for that type of sorcery.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Legolas would say he's too smart as well. That doesn't stop the castle from changing him. Or changing Galadriel into a swan.]

No, perhaps you are right. I'm not sure you're graceful enough to be a fawn, my friend.

[tossme]

What?! I have plenty of grace! Not a clumsy bone in my body.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Hm...

[He looks thoughtful for a moment and then shakes his head. You're making this too much fun, Gimli. Really you are.]

I'm still not sure I believe it.

[tossme]

B-b-but! [He's really flustered now.] I don't have to prove anything to you. [He folds his arms across his chest and pouts.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Aww don't pout!]

I'm sure the Lady Galadriel would enjoy seeing you prove me wrong.

[LEGOLAS. THAT'S CHEATING.]

[tossme]

[Gimli perks up, like a kitten.]

She would? I mean-[Straight face again.] Why on earth would she take pleasure in seeing me as an animal?

[You can't cheat. That's not faaaaaaaaaaair.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Seeing you as an animal, no. I've no doubt she takes no pleasure is seeing us reduced to such forms.

Of course, I'm sure she'd simply be glad just to see you once more.

[tossme]

I would be happy to see her once again. [Because she is extraordinary. Even if she is an elf...]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Legolas' opinion on having Gimli in the castle changed very quickly. Of course, saying something and then having his best friend show up would do that.]

I suppose I would as well.

[tossme]

Miss me, eh? [He chuckles.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Legolas sniffs and tries to look unbothered.]

That might be an exaggeration.

[No, it's not. He totally misses Gimli.]

[tossme]

Oh. [His facial expression doesn't change, but on the inside, he's sad.]
