Heading over to towerofanimus

[donttelltheelf]

Gandalf and the elf, eh?

Well, good, ol' Gimli will have to go and make sure they don't do anything rash.

Stop with the dithering and send me there at once!

Don't be in such a hurry Master Dwarf. Everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait.

[donttelltheelf]

Arg, I've waited long enough! My axe might soon start growing mold.

[the_white_rider]

Stop your complaining. Your axe will be of no use where you're going. Would I be you, I would appreciate what little days of peace I have left.

[donttelltheelf]

[A huff.]

There is nowhere for a dwarf to go, where his axe won't serve him well.

[the_white_rider]

There is now. Welcome to Animus my friend.

[ Give the old man a break, tonight will be his fourth night of nightmares about Sauron conquering and destroying Middle-Earth. ]

[donttelltheelf]

What manner of land is this then?

[That even Gandalf the White is intimidated by it, he doesn't add but. Yeah. You're making an impression and it's somewhat worrisome.]

[golden_army]

What do you know of elves?

[donttelltheelf]

Enough.

[golden_army]

Succinctly put. You are a dwarf. (Though he looks different from the dwarves he has encountered.)

[donttelltheelf]

I am. Yet I know not what you are.

[golden_army]

I am an Elven Prince. Prince Nuada Silverlance to be more specific.

Have you not heard of me?

[donttelltheelf]

No, I have not. Though I do know Elven Princelings.

[He shakes his head.]

I am Gimli, son of Glóin.

[golden_army]

Well met, Gimli, son of Glóin. It is an honor for me to encounter others of your kind.

[donttelltheelf]

Well met, indeed, Prince Nuada Silverlance. Your manners do credit to your house.

[Which is surprising, but not unpleasant.]

[golden_army]

You sound surprised. (Any Elves treating Dwarves or any other magical beings unkindly will be dealt with in his book. He was willing to kill his own father for the greater purpose, after all.) Don't tell me your experience with my kind has been...upsetting?

[donttelltheelf]

You are an Elven Prince, yet you know not of the Quarrel of Dwarves and Elves?

[golden_army]

I was not made aware of such. How long has it been in effect?

[donttelltheelf]

Long enough all have forgotten why it begun.

[golden_army]

Then it is pointless. Why remember it?

[donttelltheelf]

The Dwarves will forget when the Elves do.

[golden_army]

It is forgotten.

[donttelltheelf]

Ah, Master Elf. It is not me to whom you should tell that.

[onlyhisheir]

Now, Master Dwarf, is that any way to speak to someone of such import?

[donttelltheelf]

It is now, Laddie.

[the_white_rider]

[ That was the idea. ]

Everyday's life? It could be acceptable. But there is an evil at work on unprecedented scale, and nobody is safe from its actions. There has been victims of its doings, even amongst our ranks I'm afraid... Needless to say, your help will be most welcome.
