concerning the new pictures

[theburglar]

Yes, yes, the dwarves have very interesting beards. You've stated this one before. No, I do not know any secrets about growing beards like theirs. Perhaps you should ask them yourself?

And let's not bring up the topic of Thranduil's eyebrows.

What the heck's a dwarf?

[I HEARD YOU LIKED DRAGONS.]

[theburglar]

[Adfadfsf] Never seen a dwarf before? They are the same height as I and have very interesting facial hair.

[attentionhoard]

So...are you like a dwarf?

[theburglar]

No, no, I'm a hobbit. Completely different. Apparently dragons don't leave their caves often enough. [Bilbo's attempt at a joke...]

[iorhael]

You could hardly be jealous of their beards, can you? Imagine how difficult they must be for one to have; anything could get lost in there.

[food, crumbs, birds, squirrels, WHO KNOWS]

[theburglar]

[AND SECRETS.]

Me? Jealous? [Hmph.] Nephew, how would I be able to write my memoirs with a beard? It would smear the ink across the entire page. THINK OF THE HORROR.]

[iorhael]

[and secret keys, it clearly must have gotten lost in Gandalf's beard or hat]

A very good question, and I think it further proves beards are more trouble than they are worth. Your mun really ought to think it over once more.

[theburglar]

Yes, she should. However, I am finding it difficult persuading her to pursue other interests. Of all the things to become interested in! She can't even grow a beard....

[whiskywolf]

Beards and eyebrows, huh?

Man, your mun is bloody weird.

[theburglar]

Yes, I know. She's fascinated by many things others consider strange.

[whiskywolf]

Aye, I'll say.

...What's so special about this guy's eyebrows?

[theburglar]

They are...incredibly thick. [He frowns.]

[elfling_prince]

I agree, let us please avoid discussing ada's eyebrows.

[Lineface.]

Dwarves are ridiculous in my opinion. And so are their beards.

[oakenshield]

..."Ridiculous", you say?

[ Don't look now, elfling, but you have a very important dwarf glaring daggers and swords in your direction. ]

[elfling_prince]

[Trolololol.]

Prove that you aren't.

[oakenshield]

If I may so ask, what would an mere "elfling" know about Dwarven-kind if he had never met a Dwarf til now?

[theburglar]

Dwarves aren't so bad really. Once you get to know them....

[elfling_prince]

[Watch the tiny prince make a face.]

Why would I want to get to know one?

[Nobody tell him that a dwarf will be his BFF in the future. He might die.]

[elvenking]

As my mun calls them, the "eyebrows of power?" I don't find them objectionable.

[His mun can't wait for enough shots to make icons from.]</small.

[oakenshield]

You merely look like a fool with such brows.

[ The Dwarf says this without thinking, of course. ]

[elvenking]

My mun informs me you look like a Klingon with a smooth forehead.

[Whatever that means. It sounds like a decent insult, anyway.]

[theburglar]

The 'eyebrows of power'? That's certainly an interesting phrase.

You would most certainly get along with my mundane!

[elvenking]

Would I? [A twinkle appears in Thranduil's eye.] Because of my eyebrows?

Merry's just entering his terrible tweens, I guess?

[bemerry]

Well, I know a few hobbits in Buckland who have a bit of a shadow where a dwarf might have a beard, uncle.

[ Merry shrugs, there are very, very few hobbits that can have any sort of facial hair. ]

My father says there may be more in Bree, but I haven't seen any.

[ Nothing he'd ever cared much about, at least. ]

[theburglar]

How...interesting. I wonder why I have not met these hobbits. [Probably because you do not socialize much, Bilbo.]
