[ Already quite agitated with his "mun" tonight, a rather frustrated dwarf decides to make his unhappiness known for all to hear. ]

What kind of ignorant louse are you? Surely you possess some level of tact somewhere in those brittle bones of yours.

[ He sighs deeply. ]

I must say, I have never once met someone as untalented as you. How can you profess yourself to be an "artist" when you haven't played a single instrument? How could you possibly lack the talent to play the harp or flute? Even the elves are capable enough to master the art of music.

[ Thorin gives his mun a look of utter disappointment. ]

You shame me and your ancestors but alas, I shall teach you all that I know about the art of music.

Now all we need to do is find you a suitable harp.

Art isn't solely about music. Of course, it figures that a dwarf would make that assumption.

[Trolololol.]

[oakenshield]

Mind yourself, elfling! I hardly think that a mere runt like you would know much on the topic of art considering you cannot master the art of archery yet.

[ REVERSE TROLOLOLOLING ]

[elfling_prince]

Who are you calling a 'runt' you tasteless cretin!

[It's OBVIOUSLY more important that he was called a runt. OBVIOUSLY.]

[oakenshield]

The only tasteless cretin here is the one lacking in stature.

[ Nice priorities there, Legolas. ]

[elfling_prince]

Stature has nothing to do with taste! I can at least appreciate more art than simply the ability to play the harp!

[He's a kid, he's good at that.]

[oakenshield]

Oh? How so if I may so ask? Tell me, how could someone so small of mind come to appreciate the art of music for all its splendor?

[elfling_prince]

When I'm rarely allowed out of my fathers halls, there's little I can do but appreciate the arts between my combat lessons.

And I can already play the flute.

I apologize for this

[onebadapple]

Oh now, someone sounds a little grumpy. You aren't going to get much done by insulting people you know.

...I luv you!

[oakenshield]

As painful as my words are true, I'm merely stating the truth and nothing more. It matters to me not if she takes offense.

<3

[onebadapple]

Oh but now you didn't need to be so harsh, did you? You can still be honest without being mean.

[oakenshield]

[ He glowers at the nosy woman for a moment. ]

...Mayhap there's some truth to that but I know this one here won't heed a word said unless I speak to harshly!

[onebadapple]

And how would you know that if you don't try it first?

Self control? What self control?

[elfling_prince]

Don't listen to him. He's a terribly foul-mannered dwarf and deserves no respect from such a lady as yourself.

I don't mind~

[onebadapple]

Now now now! [She wags a gentle finger.] You shouldn't insult dwarfs. Why, my very best friends are dwarfs. Even though this dwarf is grumpy we mustn't insult one another. That won't get us anywhere.

Wee~

[elfling_prince]

He's terribly mannered though! How can I tolerate someone like him?

Elves and dwarves will never get along.

[Hmph.]

[onebadapple]

Oh now, that's just because he's upset! I'm sure he's wonderfully pleasant when he's in a better mood!

And why can't you?

[elfling_prince]

Hardly!

Dwarves are gold hoarding and completely selfish. And killers. You were just lucky to meet a dwarf that you can trust.

[tofindthesun]

..That is a rather unfair comparison, Master Dwarf.

[depending on which type of elves, anyway.]

[onebadapple]

Oh now, I don't think that is true at all.

It wasn't just one dwarf who saved me, you see. I was saved by seven dwarfs. If it weren't for them, I would have been without a home in the forest.

My dear friends aren't hoarders or selfish and certainly not killers. They might be a little messy but you can hardly fault them that when they work in a mine all day.

Would you like it if all elves were insulted? [Snow White knows nothing of elves, but the logic still applies.] You should be kind to everyone. They may just surprise you!

[theburglar]

Perhaps your mundane has other artistic talents? Do not be so quick to judge, Thorin.

[elvenking]

Can you draw breath without declaiming Elves? The need to insist upon it is enough to cause suspicion.

[elfling_prince]

[What the elfling huff and cross his arms.]

He already insults elves enough to last a lifetime. He reaps what he sews, that dwarf. Perhaps your friends are tolerable for dwarves but this one isn't.

[oakenshield]

One aggravation is enough, Elvenking. I shan't tolerate a second, not now.

[ He sighs deeply. ]

...Arguing with "her" tries me enough.

[oakenshield]

[ Dammit, woman! Stop making him settle down and "think". ]

Hmph. Very well, then I shall ask nicely of her.

[onebadapple]

[She wouldn't be Snow White if she didn't.]

Oh I'm so glad! I'm sure a much better understanding can be had if you both just talk it out!
