My Lady!

Ah, it is good to finally get your attention! Look not at that magic land you call Tumblr. We both know how odd it is for me to be called attractive, I've never been called such by my kin. It was always Fili or Bofur, ah and Dori. The women of the blue mountain did love Dori. But if they insist on me...

I might as well enjoy it, with some of that old toby of Bilbo's.

Be well my lady, and don't be discouraged! I've been here in this mind of yours for long enough, but I can wait some more I suppose.

~ Kili, son of Dis

[Kili!]

My lady mundane was very glad to see you last night.

[dwarvling]

[Bilbo!]

And mine was glad to see you as well! As was I, and Fili too I'm sure.

[theburglar]

Perhaps we will see the others as well? I've seen Thorin and Gandalf here.

[iorhael]

Seeing you in that tale, you must come very close to an elf when it comes to archery.

[dwarvling]

[Oh thank you Frodo, he's going to smile and bow!]

My thanks, Master Baggins! I've practiced since I could first hold a bow. I would like to see an elf try and hit a target down in the mountain halls.

[iorhael]

[A smile breaks out, though he is very diplomatic in his answer]

You are quite welcome! Then you are off to quite the start; elves have much longer to practice, you see. [he is avoiding saying that he is better than an elf because...well, Frodo is not certain that Man or Dwarf could outshoot an elf. Or at least, that is how the stories go.]

[longestnose]

Really, Kili. Don't be getting a big head, now. We can't find a hat that fits you as it is.

[dwarvling]

Any hat that would fit you will be nice and big on my head.

And why should I not enjoy a compliment?

[longestnose]

Because I know what those women also think, and I am not quite sure you would be so keen on that part, brother.

[maidenidrial]

[Have a young Elf that is looking at you with an amused smile on her lips.

...Yes, she's an Elf. Don't judge.]

You seem to be enjoying yourself Kíli, Son of Dís. However, you should not forget the task that faces you though I am sure that does not need to be said.

[dwarvling]

[A beautiful young elf! The only elves he's used to are the sort that travel through the towns of men and dwarves. Which aren't many.]

I could not forget my task if I tried, my lady. It's in my blood and bones, to help return to our stolen home.

[maidenidrial]

[It is a shame that he has not seem more of the elves though she admits to herself that she has not seen a dwarf such as him before. Her interactions with their race had been limited to one of her travelling companions Hadhod.]

And return to it you shall for I feel that it must be so. You and your people shall once again find a place that you may call home. The road will be hard, difficult but never forget that you are not alone.

[thegrey]

The land of Tumblr is a dangerous place, Kili son of Dís. Many a person has wandered into it only to become lost to eternity.

[More often than not, his own mundane.]

[dwarvling]

[If Gandalf says it's dangerous, it must be...still...]

Dangerous how? There is no grand task without it's share of danger, Gandalf.

[barrelrider]

What is this "Tumblr", Kili? [It can't be worse than the Misty Mountains, can it? Bilbo can't say if Kili can be considered attractive, especially when one's first impression is he's much hairier than a hobbit and he carries more weapons than anyone could think proper]

Yes, the Old Toby. I'm afraid I can't give you any! Not only did you dwarves eat me out of house and home, but you also smoked me out of it too!

[Yes, Bilbo is still somewhat cross about that. That night in Bag End is seared into his memory.]

[dwarvling]

[That night is seared into his memory too, but in a very different fashion. It will go down in history, that meeting of the company.]

That's not the festive spirit! We're sharing our prize are we not? You must have some tucked in one of those pockets of yours.

We'll be needing some if we're to venture into this "Tumblr". I hear tell it's a cursed place, as dark and terrible as the forest of Mirkwood.

[ringbearer]

So he parted with some of his Old Toby? Uncle is gracious indeed!
[ he knows how his uncle feels about his pipeweed ok ]

[dwarvling]

Aye, and most of his ale and meats as well!

Dungeons and Dragons character ok?

[spireguard]

My mun tells me you are a dwarf. I have to say, I haven't met many dwarves, but you don't look like any dwarf I've ever seen.

Sounds good to me

[dwarvling]

Aye, I am. [He's a bit sheepish though, embarrassed by the fact that he has difficulty growing a true beard as of yet.] I am of the blood of Durin, direct from the line of Kings Under the Mountain.

[myprecioussss]

[ nonono tumblr what is that? A place of nasty hobbitses and orcs and dwarves? ]

W-what's tumblr, precious?

[dwarvling]

[What in all of middle earth is this creature? Wow.]

A wizard told of it as a place of temptation and disaster, but my mundane believes it something different entirely.

corie you knew i'd come

[ringbearer]

[ don't mind frodo gently tugging on your hand ]
Come now, Smeagol. Let's not bother the nice dwarf.

[cuor]

You have some skill with a bow, young one.




For a dwarf.

[dwarvling]

[He scoffs, and if he were taller he would be looking down his nose at Legolas.]

Aye, and I'd like to see the likes of you manage one of our bows, elf. They're not the same sort of bow you see, the ones we make.
