Canon is The Hobbit

[elvenking]

If you have such a lack of regard for this "Played-By," I cannot think of a single reason why you shouldn't wait another year and a half until one is provided for you.

[Well, of course you wouldn't be in a rush, after managing about two thousand years with the Worst Neighbor Ever.]

Of course not. I'm fond of living in your head. It is quite comfortable, and there is much more room than in my halls.

[Thanks, Thranduil. You suck.]

You are most welcome.

to be fair that PB is exactly what I imagined him to look like

[articulate_equanimity]

Though actions have no consequence in this state.

He is nicely gaunt, I'll admit. But it is HARD to find this model NOT making dumb faces.

[elvenking]

None? I believe the woman would disagree.

[You cannot imagine the damage an Elvenking can do in someone's headspace when he wants to. But Thranduil was, at least, a better choice than Thingol, the mun's first choice.]

oh that blows, finding the right face with all the wrong expressions

[articulate_equanimity]

Would she?

Though perhaps you are and I are quite different, Ser Elf.

[elvenking]

[He is not going to point out how weird it is to be called that, Sir Man.]

Most are.

i adore you guys.

[therangerking]

It must be a great place indeed, to pull you away from your halls.

Aww, thanks!

[elvenking]

You place too much faith in my power over the arrangement. [He eyes you suddenly, as if you're familiar.]

[akhorishaan]

Ah. The child who chose me is struck by the face yours chose. ...But it so seems that she will not now change mine, despite prior complaints.

[elvenking]

The woman had certain frustrations with finding pictures of this man that did not look, in her words, "dumb."

[tofindthesun]

A year and a half is long for a mortal, my Lord. [father.] They have little enough patience as it is.

We'll see if my serious threads are any kind of worth it.

[elvenking]

["My lord." Only in public, kid.]

I daresay I had no more, at her age.

[Which is a lot younger for an Elf than for a human, so that's technically a rather passive-aggressive insult.]

they would be worth it serious or not. /holds them gently

[tofindthesun]

..I can hardly imagine you so young. [mild, mild raising of eyebrow, and trying not to smile or laugh.

he knows how this goes. it's been several centuries since they went over this, and he doesn't mind it by now.]

Awww

[elvenking]

[Did you just see a faint smile? They do happen, certainly. He likes Legolas. Maybe it's because Legolas turned out so...oh, so Silvan despite his roots. It's a transcendent experience, seeing that. It's also quite refreshing a shift from his own solemnity.]

Perhaps in another age, you will. [Wait till you're as old as I am...] Although perhaps in another age, none of us will be left in Middle-Earth.

my heart can't take this ;-;

[tofindthesun]

[it's kind of what happens when one lives in mirkwood for a long enough time. and it helps that thranduil doesn't try to keep him strictly sindar.]

That age is not long in coming. [given his time point, the nearly ended war.] ..Yet I fear that the time of our leave will come sooner for some than for others.

[akhorishaan]

It is the issue known as "modelface", or something different entire?

/offers hug

[elvenking]

[The Nandor have no monopoly on high spirits, but Legolas definitely turned out more Nandorin than Sindarin. It's kind of cool. Thranduil likes high spirits, or he wouldn't be personal friends with Bilbo Baggins, who is also refreshing. And surprisingly restful.]

Who do you fear shall leave sooner than others, my son? [Not a completely idle wondering. Legolas wouldn't bring it up if he weren't thinking about someone specific.]

[elvenking]

Both, I fear.
