On reserving him at Ruby City

[sonof_thrain]

Ruby City? What madness has come to you this time? Because our burglar resides there, you seek to send me also? If not towers of evil, it is strange towns. What next? Mister Baggins will likely be pleased to have company, yet my quest still stands.

Erebor is my beating heart. I will have a choice in these matters, whether you deem my freedom forfeit or not. Nay, I will not go willing into this Ruby City.

Oh, my mundane has been looking into that place, too. You say you have a friend there?

[sonof_thrain]

Aye. Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit from the Shire.

[just_sing]

May I ask what a hobbit is?

[sonof_thrain]

'Tis a small creature not unlike a Man. They have big, hairy feet and large pointed ears. Usually around four to five feet in height, they are cheerful, homely creatures.

[just_sing]

They sound nice. And it's good you'll have a friend at the game you're going to. Very few people from my world are around.

[sonof_thrain]

What is your name, my lady? Aye, meeting the hobbit will be a welcome indeed. I did not fancy going into a game with no one around to recognise.

[just_sing]

My name is Clara Soledad. It's very nice to meet you. May I ask what your name is, sir?

I'm afraid that despite my mun's quest for a place with my friends, I'll be among strangers wherever I go.

[sonof_thrain]

Thorin Oakenshield. Son of Thror, son of Thrain. King under the Mountain. [He was proud of his title.]

That thought has crossed my mind many times. I do not understand why my scribe wishes to place me in these games, Clara. Such enjoyment is not shared.

[just_sing]

I don't know, Thorin. I enjoy traveling, and I go a lot of places with my friends, but I don't like being alone. I think the muns do it for us to speak to people from other worlds more, but it seems a bit extreme, honestly.

[curious] Is dhe city made auf rubies? Or red in color?

[sonof_thrain]

I do not know as I have not yet visited the place. [He really had no desire to go there. It was only because the hobbit was there he had some hope.]

[strikingblue]

Dhen it vill be new und exciting to visit. [Kurt was quite the optimist despite his appearance.]

[sonof_thrain]

Perhaps. [He was sceptical about the whole idea.]

[strikingblue]

[This guy is a hard one to cheer up.]

Vhat vould you vant instead? A different place?

[sonof_thrain]

No place. I wish to be left to complete my quest.

[strikingblue]

[His pointed ears perk up] Qvest? For vhat?

[sonof_thrain]

A quest to reclaim my homeland from a fierce dragon.

[strikingblue]

[He chuckles] Dragons, they are in story books. [And not real.]
