On apping him to the Tower of Animus

[sonof_thrain]

Really now. The Tower of Animus? Would you cease this madness now? I no longer wish to be thrown about like some trinket of yours. I am on a quest to reclaim my homeland, yet you wish to send me to some tower. I think not.

'Tis full of....elves. [He made a face.] Elves of all people! You think me foolish? Nay, I will not be tossed into a tower full of them. You have lost your wits finally.

You still hate elves Thorin?

[sonof_thrain]

[He looked up as he heard that voice. Fenris. He sighed.]

Nay, not you, Fenris. Just others in the Tower who left my people to die amidst the dragon attack. [Thranduil's folk.]

[wolfenris]

The other elves. *Fenris joins him*

[sonof_thrain]

They are not like you, Fenris. They are vain, selfish and arrogant. [Just ew, elves.]

[wolfenris]

I understand. * he smiles slightly* they betrayed you.

[sonof_thrain]

Indeed, they did. [He hated talking about them.]

This Tower is filled with all kinds of evil. I do not understand why my scribe wishes to send me there.

[wolfenris]

Their logic is strange.

*he nudges the dwarf gebtky* you will prevail though...I shall stay by your side and watch your back.

[sonof_thrain]

You wish to join me in the Tower, Fenris? Nay, I would not let you risk your life for me. [It was touching, really.]

[wolfenris]

I would go to aid you. You are my friend.

[sonof_thrain]

Then your help would be welcome. [He nodded.]

I do not know what fate will become of me at this Tower, since my scribe seems intent on sending me there. [Full of elves. Bloody elves.]

[wolfenris]

If there is a future to be had...I will walk into it gladly at your side...

[sonof_thrain]

Then I am grateful for your support. [It was odd for the elf to become an ally with him. But he was grateful for it.]

Two swords are better than one. [You're ok for an elf, Fenris.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

We betrayed no one!

Re: bad leggy :P

[sonof_thrain]

[He grunted as the elf's words.]

Then, why did you leave us?

defensive leggy :p

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

If the army of Erebor couldn't defeat a dragon, what hope would a small army of elven warriors against him? Cease with your prejudices against my kin and I! If anything, we should have more reason to distrust your kind for what was done to Thingol!

Re: ooh moody face Leggy XD

[sonof_thrain]

Yet, your father brought along a whole army the turned away! [Silly elk too.]

'Tis no prejudice I bare, yet facts and truths I speak of. [Oh, not that again.]

Thorin deserves moody faces

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Not enough to face a fire drake!

So you expected us to allow our entire army to be slain with your kin against the wrath of a dragon? None would have survived, of my people or yours.

Re: Then he'll unleash a barrage of moody faces, mwhahaha!

[sonof_thrain]

[Such cowardice. Any dwarf would never backdown from such a fight.]

Any ally would have been helpful at that time, yet your father chose not to fight. How do you know we would have been slain? We might have beaten the drake, yet we will never know.

Any dwarf would die trying than to walk away with his tail in between his legs.

Moody face competition!

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Which is why a lot of them are dead.]

Yes, we will never know. It's time to let that go. My father made a decision, a hard one. A decision that your grandfather would have been forced to make had something happened to us in Mirkwood.

And we are not dwarfs.

Re: It's on!

[sonof_thrain]

[A hard one? Pffft. Thorin will just be glaring at you now, elf.]

My grandfather would have died defending our home before Azog took his head. We do not cower as you elves might in the face of certain death.

Nay, you are not.

Get ready to lose, dwarf

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Cower?! How dare you! How little you know of us and what my people have suffered through, what forces we have fought.

Re: You're on, elf!bitch! OMFG! Where did you get that icon?

[sonof_thrain]

If not cowardice drove you away then what? Pride? Dignity? [Stuck up arses....]

I made it! I found the art on tumblr and colored it!

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Wisdom. Fighting a dragon would have been folly! And slain more of our people than my king was willing to sacrifice, leaving our people in the forest with less protection than they may need.

Re: so awesome! Thorin is jealous, he's having a tantrum XD

[sonof_thrain]

[Wisdom? Thorin fought back a scoff.]

Nay, fighting for your home is what you would have done, would you have not? If the tables were turned and the dragon attacked your forest. Would you have abandoned everything you worked so hard to keep?

Aww, poor little dwarf~

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Damn dwarf.]

We fight for out home every day. We fight back orcs, goblins and great spiders. We watch plants and animals die needlessly, we live in the halls of our king rather than among the trees as we would want. We've already lost much of our home.

Re: He's tall for a dwarf! :P

[sonof_thrain]

[Gross elf.]

Yet, you have a home to reside to. We have nothing. Made outcasts and nobodies because of Smaug.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Full of them? Come now, there are only two elves here.

[sonof_thrain]

Two is enough. [Or maybe too much.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

My father sought to preserve our kin. As any king, he made a difficult decision.

[sonof_thrain]

Preserve yours and leave ours to the fate of Smaug. [Thorin was NOT happy when you left him, Leggy. At all.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Your kin were already escaping from the mountain, Smaug had no interest in chasing after them. Only in claiming your hoard of gold.

[Legolas, please stop. You got over this years ago.]

[sonof_thrain]

He will not have it for much longer. You can be assured of that. [His tone sharp, his bitterness obvious. Damn him for defiling his kingdom!]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

And lives will be lost in the end.

[sonof_thrain]

Nay, battle comes at a cost. Peace is not without sacrifice. Honour and loyalty.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

As it always does.

[sonof_thrain]

Then, perhaps you understand the need for us to fight.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I understand when a fight is necessary, yes. I also know precisely how your venture ends and it couldn't be helped.

[sonof_thrain]

[He sighed. How could the elf ever understand what he went through? What many dwarves went through.]

So much loss. For what? Gaining a kingdom back from a terrible foe. 'Tis surely worth it. Even at sucha cost. To sacrifice many breaks my heart.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[He's lost friends in the past too.]

Smaug would have died eventually, dragons are not immortal.

[sonof_thrain]

[Then there is something which they can both relate to.]

How long do dragons live for? Do you know the answer to that?

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I do not but your line would have survived to see it.

[sonof_thrain]

You think so? I know not how long they live, only how long it takes to kill one. [They could all burn in the pits of Mordor for he cared.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

And yet your kin couldn't kill Smaug when first he came to Erebor.

[sonof_thrain]

He was too large for us to fend off, yet he will no longer prevail.

[rangerandking]

It seems your quest has been put on hold indefinitely. You are not alone in this.

[sonof_thrain]

Aye, perhaps. Are you also on a journey or beset by a game?
