homeless forever

[theburglar]

A new home? I beg your pardon, but I haven't asked for one. What is wrong with my own?

I'm sure your home is fine. It seems to be more a matter of what is convenient than it is with what is right and wrong.

[theburglar]

I hardly find being pushed out of my comfortable home convenient, good sir.

[caputlupinum]

I'm not sure it's your convenience they care for.

[theburglar]

[If that's true, she is exactly like Gandalf.] That's quite rude. Perhaps she will listen to reason.

[caputlupinum]

[And a very good Gandalf, I'm sure.]

Perhaps she will. I see no harm in trying.

[theburglar]

Then I shall give it a try. [He smiles.] Oh dear, I didn't ask for your name. Introductions are in order I believe.

[caputlupinum]

I believe they might be. My name is Robin Hood, and I suppose that makes it my turn to ask for yours.

[theburglar]

Bilbo Baggins. [A pause.] Robin Hood? My writer is smiling from ear to ear. Are you famous?

[caputlupinum]

I've heard tell I grow to become a legend, but for the moment I like to think of myself as more of a local name. [He does look pleased, though. And perhaps a little smug.]

I could ask you the same question. Your name seems to have the same effect on mine.

[theburglar]

Hmm no, I'm not famous really. Well, I've been on rather interesting adventures. People just find me odd.

[caputlupinum]

Oh, I wouldn't be so dismissive. Sometimes a rather interesting adventure and a reputation for being different is all it takes.

[theburglar]

I certainly do a have a reputation. [Not the one he wants certainly.] Sometimes I do wonder if my adventures were worth it...

[caputlupinum]

Some adventures aren't. For something to be truly worthwhile you must believe in the cause that started it.

[theburglar]

Or learn from it as I did.

[caputlupinum]

Then it sounds like it was worth it.
