re: games, maybe. would prefer a lotr/got-type setting.

Keeping in mind my ventures as Thorongil against the enemies of Gondor and Rohan, I have no desire to repeat my performance at Umbar, my lady, let alone those across the length and breadth of the known world again. Should you bid me fight then I will do so at your discretion, but first let us find a quieter land. 

Should the lord of this new place be noble in mind and deed, I will follow him.

Aragorn! It is good to see you, Mellon. Although, it sounds as if your mun is giving you as much issue as mine is giving me.

[longshanks]

Legolas! Mae Govannen, you're a welcome sight and no mistake. These muns like to test us, it would seem.

[elf_ofthe_9]

They very much do. Although if I were the sort I could take pleasure in the fact mine suffers trying to learn the Elven language.

[longshanks]

It is a difficult language to wrap the tongue around, it cannot be denied. I fear the amount of times even I have said something inappropriate in my youth.

[elf_ofthe_9]

Ah, well, at least you always had the best of intentions. I imagine however, Lord Elrond has quite a few amusing tales.

[longshanks]

If that be the case then I have a new task in keeping you well away from him.

[elf_ofthe_9]

You wound me, Aragorn! Do you think I would run through the lands singing about all your misspoken words?

[longshanks]

I think that if you did, I should have trouble catching you.

[elf_ofthe_9]

[Laughs a little]

Perhaps so. However, I do not think it would be so wise to raise your wrath, Estel.

[longshanks]

It would take considerably more for anything of the kind to be raised against you, my friend. [ A deeper smile, then a curious nod. ] Have you seen Gimli on your rounds through these lands?

[elf_ofthe_9]

Not as yet. He resides here with my mun and I some of the time, however. She incessantly comments that he cannot stand to be left behind, and earns much grumbling.

[longshanks]

That sounds like our Dwarf, irate though your mun makes you with such slights.

[elf_ofthe_9]

Oh, she has worse. However, all is well. Gimli has found she keeps good liquor on hand and is quite pleased at that. As for me, she annoys me more with where she deigns to send me.

[longshanks]

Where would you be dispatched, Legolas?

[elf_ofthe_9]

A haunted home. And quite after our Quest comes to an end.

[longshanks]

I am sorry to hear it, your troubles are not fit to end just yet. What manner of dead men walk the halls of that house?

[elf_ofthe_9]

Some are men, others are not. What little she will give me, I know there is a man eternally burning, for example. The place even involves children within it's madness. A cruel deed!

[longshanks]

You will face this evil alone? Surely not.

[elf_ofthe_9]

There are others in the home. Most I believe to be human, and a few are not. I shall be fine, Aragorn.

[longshanks]

I do not doubt it. Reassurances of there being a greater force against such creatures is welcome, however.

[elf_ofthe_9]

At least a few I hear are used to precarious situations. However, you are welcome if you wish to come along, although I would certainly not wish you into danger.

[longshanks]

What are these lands called that would try and spook you? I will apply to my mun for parley on the matter.

[elf_ofthe_9]

Maison de Portes. Just be aware, the one who runs the house, is quite aware of us. Too much so. [An actual sigh and shake of his head] They knew what I fear before my mun bothered to behave herself and look!

[longshanks]

How could anyone know that? Sorcery?

[elf_ofthe_9]

I have no idea to be honest with you. I suppose the same way mine does.
