RE: Seeing the cast list for The Hobbit

[keeps_count]

As much as I... appreciate how thoughtful you think you are being, I do not think that anyone will ever bring my father to the Tower. And I wouldn't want him to be brought there. In a place where death is common and you wish for the Elfking to be brought there? It is not a curse I would wish on my kin.

And I certainly would not wish to mediate anything between him and Gimli. Depending on just when he would be brought from, if he ever were, it would take far longer than a few days to explain how the rift between Dwarves and Elves are being healed by the friendship Gimli and I formed. And in those few days, it is very likely they would encounter each other.

Let me make this quite clear, Lady Mundane. I have no desire for Thranduil to come to Animus at any point in the future. Even if your friends and yourself do.

[And he does just that, nodding firmly and taking a deep breath.]

I will endure and see it end. So that I can return home.

And the elves of Mirkwood know endurance well. And joy, within endurance.

So we do. I have sung our songs with my companions, to keep their spirits from waning.

[Not...not the one about Amroth, right? Because that one is not helpful in keeping spirits up. That one is actually a good way to get people to throw themselves off the Tower. But no, he doesn't really think you mean that one. Thranduil has always liked Legolas' naturally high spirits.]

There is no better cure. So long as they have the memory for it.

[Elven songs and length, you know. Still. That's his boy.]

[keeps_count]

[Certainly not. That would be the last thing he wanted to do among his group. Although, throwing themselves off the tower wouldn't have been an option at the time, nobody was being allowed to die then.]

I'm sure that's a memory that will be treasured, a moment when we relaxed and allowed ourselves not to worry for competition.
