possibly looking to place him. maybe.

[mithrandir]

 Oh, there is no need to place further duty upon yourself, dear one. I am quite fine where I am, I assure you. My days of adventure have come to an end, and as much as I would like to see my old friends, they are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves.

[But, he knows once his writer gets a notion in her head, it's near impossible to sway her into any other direction]

.... You are as stubborn as a Baggins.

[madcuriosity]

Well, that isn't very fair. What if your friends want to see you too!

[mithrandir]

Hm. You could be right. I've been called a disturber of the peace, you know. They may think I have only arrived to try and nudge them into another adventure!

[madcuriosity]

But adventures can be lovely!

[mithrandir]

Yes, indeed. You've been on a few of your own, haven't you?

[madcuriosity]

Oh you know about my adventure? [She giggles.] I don't think my adventure was quite as big as yours. But I think it suit me fine don't you agree?

[skinwhite_as_snow]

That's something I'm afraid is quite common to mundanes, sir. Mine already found me more adventures despite the fact that there's too much to do at my kingdom right now.

[mithrandir]

It seems to be quite widespread then. Though, I suppose their idea of adventure is quite different from ours. I've seen some very different places through her eyes.

[charring]

If your mun is looking for adventure, mine says try here.

There are curses and monsters and a variety of people and races around. She says she thinks you'd enjoy it.

[mithrandir]

[Grumbles a bit] I don't suppose there is anywhere in this confounded place where one can have a pleasant adventure?

[charring]

I'm not sure. I've had enough adventure for a lifetime before I even got there, so it's not something I actively seek out.

[mithrandir]

Yes, I've learned quickly that these mundanes have an interesting sense of humour.

[charring]

They sure like to keep us on our toes, don't they?

I'm Charlie.

[mithrandir]

I would say so, yes.

Well met, Charlie. My friends call me Gandalf.

[charring]

[OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD! WAIT HANG ON SHE ALMOST FANGIRLLED. She's cool. Really.] Pleasure to meet you, too, sir. Good luck wherever your mun sends you and I hope I see you around here, at the very least.

[elf_ofthe_9]

Isn't their stubborness a part of what draws you to Man, Mithrandir? Without it, their race would not thrive as it has.

[mithrandir]

[Hums a little in thought] It seems to be the other way around with this one. I am quite content living the rest of my days with some good pipe weed and a comfortable chair, Legolas.

[elf_ofthe_9]

I imagine we all would be, minus the pipe weed on my behalf. I still fail to understand the love of it.

Still, I wish you well, considering this place has so very few places to rest that are comfortable and without trial.

[inafadingcrown]

[There's just the slightest smile on her face. Even here, she's glad to see him.]

You will find, I think, they do not take easily to counsel, old friend- even from the very wise.

[mithrandir]

[Gandalf's eyes brighten just a little at the sight of her.]

So, I have seen. Then perhaps I should be grateful for the rest for as long as it lasted.

[A small smile]

Ah, my dear friend. It is good to see you again.

[inafadingcrown]

[She'll walk over and clasp his hands in her own.]

And you as well. You have earned your rest, White Rider, but I have no doubt whatever path you are placed upon will benefit greatly from your presence.

[iorhael]

Bilbo would take it as a compliment that you've met your match in a Baggins overall.

Can you really stop yourself from seeking adventure for long?

[ambitiouslynamed]

[The Bounder tilts her head a little in curiosity.] I thought Adventure was the only thing wizards had to do!

Sup, LotR, have some WoW.

[servesthelightindarkness]

Occasionally, we find ourselves where we are needed, even if we believe that we are not.

[masterholbytla]

Can one's adventure even end, Gandalf?
