[athismercy]

[There's an irritated click to Thranduil's voice as he speaks, the drum of his fingers audible.]

A game. For once since your childhood you linger away from these ...stories and cease bothering me, and only a few mere months later you insist on pushing me into a game? Disgusting. Somehow, I thought perhaps it would be at least winter's fall that you do such a thing as bother me, when you see this... film you continue to harp about.

[The king lets out a scoff.]

I shall tell you, girl, that I will not be played with. That is my decision.

[Whoa, get a load of this guy. Matthew's pretty used to hanging around pampered royal types, but this is a whole new level. And that oh so haughty indignation? Priceless! He was more than likely in for a rude awakening before too long.

Matthew does his best to look deferential and respectful, although he really can't do too much to contain his smirk.]

I regret to inform M'lord that when a Mun has their mind made up no amount of protesting will do much to sway them.

[athismercy]

[He turns his head sharply in the boy's direction, looking down at him with an utter sneer.]

And what mortal Man may tell me my limits?

[athermercy]

This is cool -- We have matching usernames.

[She just felt like pointing out.]

[athismercy]

And what are you?

[athermercy]

You know, usually, people just ask for names to as ice breaker. I'm Elaine Belloc, nice to meet you.

[athismercy]

I have no time for such trifles.

If you do not know my name, I have no need to speak with you.

[athermercy]

Sometimes meeting new people can surprise you, if you give them a chance.

I do know your name, Thranduil Oropherion. [Be because of her omniscience or her mun.] But it's only polite to introduce oneself in return.

[athismercy]

Then you needn't ask.

[You are dealing with King Temper Tantrum ok ok.]

Do you need something of me then? Ask, or be gone of me.

[athermercy]

I have no needs of anything anymore, but sometimes I like to talk. Right now, for example. So let's talk, Thranduil.

[His attitude doesn't bother her. Lucifer makes him seem like Mr. Sympathy in his good days.]

Your first would be game, right?

[brb_looting]

[Matthew gives a gracious bow, taking the rude and dismissive response in stride. Almost like he was absolutely sure that was the kind of response he would get.]

But of course none sire. I simply wished to offer forth my humble observations.

[tintalle]

Are you not at all curious?

[athismercy]

[Thranduil may be haughty and spoiled and indignant, but he's not stupid.]

If you do not cease your tone, I will have it cut out of you.

[athismercy]

I am the opposite of curious, my lady.

I refuse to be toted about like a children's toy to the whim of a female Man.

[athismercy]

[He makes an irritated noise in his throat, but decides to play along.]

A game of this nature, perhaps.

She intends to rend me mortal.

[tintalle]

I fear we all may have little choice, Woodland King.

[athismercy]

What little choice I have, then. I refuse to leave her have her way with me.

I shall not even be able to keep my status and my race where she intends to place me.

It is intolerable.

[athermercy]

It's that kind of world with their own rules. But you know, that isn't so bad. I convinced myself I was mortal once [because she didn't know any better.] and it was fun.

You will always go back home in the end or, places like this. Without wasting time, without missing anything important. It could help you to broaden your horizons and become wiser.

Are you up to the challenge?

[tintalle]

I wish that I could offer you solace, but.. I have seen all too well the power they have over us in this place and elsewhere.

New beginnings are meant to be a blessing. And yet..

psst! canon: middle earth

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[He should be used to the idea that more Thranduil's will start appearing soon but it hasn't stopped surprising him yet. The younger elf places his hand over his heart and bows politely.]

I shall hope that your attempts to persuade her prove to be more affective than what others would try, my Lord.

I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF THAT w o w self

[athismercy]

[Even his own son has been trapped here, then. He's not sure if that's more irritating or pleasing, but his expression doesn't change much.]

I am not persuading her. I do not persuade, I command. If she shall not listen, she will suffer the consequence.

haha, it's okay I missed it too when I first started with Legolas

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Legolas doesn't mind so much. Especially now that he's been freed from the Tower of Animus.]

Forgive me if I seem impertinent but they are Men. They can only be persuaded rather than commanded. And some... are not so terrible.

[athismercy]

I have no time for challenge. Though immortal I may be, I am Elfking and I shan't let a female Man pull me away from my duties.

[What duties Thranduil, liking ordering the winter wine stock or.]

sob now i feel dumb

[athismercy]

Then I simply will not deal with her.

My refusal is not so weak.

pssh no, you are not dumb

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[He's not entirely sure what he can say that won't be completely disrespectful to his king. After all, he's been in this situation before. Multiple times. Nothing he'd ever said had convinced his own mun to change her mind.]

She may then choose to force your hand, Lord.

[athermercy]

Is there anything urgent you need to take care of? You know, the time you spend in that "game" won't make a slightest of difference once you return to your realm.

It's how this works.

[Although it's how usually most Creations work. There is more flexibility in time.]

all the dumb!!!

[athismercy]

[He closes his eyes a moment, mouth turning in disgust, and he presses one ringed hand to his forehead.]

Truly no end to this madness, it seems.

I shall never approve.

none of the dumb!! /wags finger at you

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I fear that there is not. I speak from experience, Lord.

[Yeah, he expected that. Who could approve of this life, after all?]

[bythewaves]

You'll find they use as all at their whim, from the greatest to the very worst of us all. [ says the Kinslayer eyeing the Star Queen up there. He's also a good distance away if you decide you dislike him enough to actively do something about it ]

[athismercy]

At the very least you included yourself.

[Like he'd bother saying anything else.]

[bythewaves]

[ have a small shrug ] I know my own sins, Elvenking.
