gimli thinks his mun enjoyed the hobbit a little much.

[tossme]

My lady, I am glad you enjoyed yourself. The splendor of Erebor was a sight to behold, was it not? Oh, it brought a tear to my eye. And my kinfolk triumphing over evil and fighting valiantly! I could have been there, but they said I was too young to go on the quest! Too young! [He sighs.]

Yet, I am worried that perhaps you've forgotten the promise you made to me. I am glad to see you take an interest in my kinfolk, but...what about the home you promised me? Do not forsake me, my lady. Do you not find me interesting anymore? I may not be as handsome as the others, but I am a great warrior.

[He looks at his mundane and shakes his head.] I see the look in your eye. I may lose this battle after all...

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

My mundane was awed by the sight of Erebor. As was I, my friend.

I hope that she will find you a home. You are the greatest of dwarven warriors that I have seen and if it would gladden me if I were to ever see you again outside of this place.

[tossme]

[Was that a tear you saw in Gimli's eye? No, no. He's thinking manly dwarf thoughts right now.]

I certainly hope so, laddie. This place is interesting, but not a suitable home for someone like myself.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[He saw no such thing!]

Not at all. Too few orc and goblin necks to cleave from their shoulders and too few elves to attempt to beat in a contest.

[tossme]

Aye. And no ale nor mutton to be had. I don't know why my mundane finds this place so exciting.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Perhaps your mundane has seen what alternatives await you? And wishes to spare you it.

[tossme]

Perhaps. Or she could be afraid. Very afraid.

That is the last thing I need.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

There are many reasons to be afraid, my friend, though I cannot help but to wonder what fear she carries. If it is fear of portraying you properly, than my mundane wishes to assure her that she's seen no better a Gimli in her time playing me.

[tossme]

Lad, she's smiling. [A few ideas pop into his head.] That is something I have not seen in a very long time. Perhaps flattery is the key to help move her decision along...

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I'm sure it's a lovely sight perhaps it is one you will see more often. And perhaps the more we flatter her, the better chance I will have of seeing you once more.

[Wait, what? Mun! You're tricking him! DX Gimli shouldn't come to the tower. He's adamant about it. Oh, but the mun wants Legolas to have another friend.]

[tossme]

[But Legolas needs his friend!]

Aye. But not too much. [He pauses.] Too much flattery can be a bad thing you know. She may do something...unexpected.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[He does! He needs a dwarf to help everyone keeping him from doing stupid things whenever he does something reckless he has trouble.]

Oh, of course! We shall have to be careful. I worry what unexpected things might happen though.

[pilferer]

Home. Well, that does sound nice, doesn't it? Unfortunately my mun won't have any of it. I'm either here or I'm there, but I'm never home.

_{[ Because Bilbo can't exactly help with the whole... shiny new thing. He practically is a shiny new thing. In a manner of speaking. You know, to the mun. ]}

[tossme]

Ah Master Hobbit, that may change. Mundanes are so fickle in their ways. [Something he wishes weren't so. This mundane of his has not been so kind.]

[maidenidrial]

I must say my Mun quite enjoyed the tale herself. I must admit that I was equally impressed.

[Yes, hello Gimli have a young Elf talking to you with a small smile hovering over her lips. There is a pause, silence before she answers]

I should not worry about your fate, Master Gimli. Our muns change their minds quickly and I cannot imagine why you would be abandoned in any way.

[tossme]

What impressed you the most? Was it the sight of Erebor itself?

I know, my lady, but I wish...I wish she would perhaps listen to the counsel of others before making such hasty decisions. [He looks down.[

[maidenidrial]

Yes, the sight of Erebor stunned both myself and my Mun. I believe it is one of the most grand dwellings that I have seen in a long time.

[Her smile disappears at the words that fall from his lips] You have made your views known to your Mun and that is all you can do. Now you must only wish that she takes heed and listens. I am afraid to tell you that that trait is not common among Mun's, at least not to my own.

[tossme]

Oh? Well that is...comforting. [Only somewhat. He still wants his mundane to do something.] I suppose there is nothing I can do to make her decide faster?

[wheeloffire]

It was a wonderful sight to see, wasn't it? My own mun broke out in goosebumps! It was an amazing adventure!

[ He looks to the dwarf, and offers him a small smile. ] If you, or your mun would be in any help of finding you a home, I can gladly assist you, if you would like. Finding a home here can be surprisingly difficult.

[tossme]

Yes, Master Baggins! It was grand, wasn't it? People who have seen this tale do not know how incredibly lucky they are. [The entire tale was amazing, but seeing the splendors of Erebor was the best part. And nothing will convince Gimli otherwise.]

Well, go on lad! This mundane of mine needs a few ideas.

[wheeloffire]

It was, absolutely!
[ He can certainly understand why! ] ...I never imagined how beautiful the Heart of the Mountain was so beautiful. It was a beautiful sight to behold.

Well, let me see! There is Adstringendum, for one! It is a very...interesting game. Samwise and I both are there.
And then there is another; I believe its name is Atraxton? I do not know much about it, but there are many we are familiar with there. There is even a Frodo there, though I am not familiar with him.
Somarium is a game I am familiar with, as well. You travel to a Realm of Dreams! Aragorn and Lord Elrond are there, as well as Lady Idrial, and Legolas.

[tossme]

A realm of dreams. Hmm. [Aragorn and the elf are there. He would very much like to see their faces again.] Sounds tempting. Oh so very tempting.

Do you like your home, Master Baggins? Is there any fighting there? Any at all? [He has not been in a fight for quite a while and is itching for battle.]

[wheeloffire]

It is very interesting. And despite the situation my mun has put me into, I enjoy it quite a lot there!

... There has been some fighting, as of late. It happened a few weeks after I arrived, so it is difficult for me to describe. But in Somarium, you are able to have dreams, despite that you are already asleep. And depending on the cycle of the moon, your dreams may be pleasant, or an absolute nightmare. And your nightmares can be chosen, for the entire community to see.

Perhaps, the best thing to say for you is: there will be fighting, if you dream there will be!

[tossme]

[Oohh Frodo. You probably shouldn't have told him that.]

If I dream about fighting...fighting will occur. [He grins. The part about nightmares does not even bother him.] I think I would like this place.

[wheeloffire]

[ Oops! ]

I think that you would, as well. It would be very nice to have you home. I am sure Aragorn, and the rest of us would certainly agree!

[dwarvling]

[Oh Gimli, you are a sight for sore eyes. The Gimli Kili remembers is so much younger, whose beard hasn't grown out so much s that, and who wanted to desperately to go on the adventure. Luckily for Kili though, he had just made the cut.]

Gimli, ah! It is good to see you. One day we shall all see the splendor of Erebor again, once the dragon is slain.

[tossme]

[Gimli's face lights up when he sees Kili.]

Aye, indeed! Let that dragon bring his pretty face to my ax! I'll show him how mighty a dwarf can be!

[dwarvling]

I'll shoot him in the eye and you swing for the throat.
