Voice testing... of course

This looks like fun! All of us going out into the unknown on an adventure. It'll be great! We'll be able to fight all sorts of things besides orcs and goblins. Maybe even a dragon? Oh, sure we're not going to be able to kill Smaug (or so they say) but there have to be other dragons out there!

There is all of us, right?

Or at least Fili... Fili's coming, right? I don't think mother would like it very much if I went off without him. She barely let me come as it is with Thorin.

Actually, I'm starting to notice a distinct lack of dwarves here.





You should probably fix that.

[More folks the merrier!]

It is a bit unbelievable, you must readily admit.

[Yeah. That tends to sour relationships.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I do admit that, yes. War brings about unexpected changes, however.

[Dwarves and Elves can be friends though. They'll prove it.]

[sharpeyedwarf]

War? What war?

[He may be a little excited at the thought of a war. But then again he doesn't know better.

And, yes they will.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

The War of the Ring. It ended with the destruction of the One Ring. Gimli and I were two of the Nine Walkers, the Fellowship of the Ring.

[sharpeyedwarf]

Really? I thought the One Ring was long gone.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Lost but not gone. Not until 3019 of the Third Age.

[sharpeyedwarf]

[He does some mental math.]

Not for another sixty years then! I guess that explains why Gimli was allowed to go.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I don't think Master Gloin would have objected to him going for such a quest though I've never spoken with him a great deal, so I cannot speak with certainty.

[sharpeyedwarf]

He wished to come with us on our quest to retake Eribor but his father wouldn't let him. He's younger than I am and I was barely allowed to go myself.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I do not blame him for refusing Gimli that. My father told me of what transpired after the death of Smaug.

[sharpeyedwarf]

Your father was there?

[He's not put two and two together. Besides all elves look alike.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

He was. I believe Thorin may have told you of him.

The Elvenking, Thranduil.

[Bracing himself.]

[sharpeyedwarf]

[His eyes widen. Oh yes. He's heard stories. And is now suddenly very awkward yes.]

Yes. He's mentioned your father more than once in passing.

[Usually with expletives.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Yeaaaaah, he was kind of expecting this. With a sigh, Legolas nods.]

If only I could claim surprise. I'd not expect him to harbor anything but ill thoughts towards my father after being imprisoned.

[How tasteless. :|]

[sharpeyedwarf]

[Well, at least he didn't suggest that Kili was part wood elf like someone else in another thread elsewhere just did...admittedly the guy is from a world without dwarves, but still.]

Imprisoned and didn't help when Eribor was attacked!

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[... Ahahaha! Oh dear, Legolas would never say such a thing. He didn't wish to offend the dwarf.]

When Erebor..?

[What? Oh the delights of book versus movie...]

The Elvenking was not there that day.

[sharpeyedwarf]

[Yes. There is one unhappy dwarf in that thread.]

But...

[He frowns. It possibly doesn't help that the mun isn't sure exactly which way they're going book or movie. Yay voice testing!]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[The elf pauses to think and shakes his head,a sigh escaping him.]

There are many differences among everyone here from Middle Earth. Do not think too hard on it, young one.

What one may recall could be different from another.

[sharpeyedwarf]

Or one story embellished by the story teller.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Did you just... tell Legolas that his dad was lying. :|]

There is a chance of it, no matter how small a chance that would be.

[sharpeyedwarf]

[No. Suggest maybe that there could be different version of events maybe...]

It all depends on which side you're on.
