❧ VIDEO; 04 (both courts)
[ Thranduil hasn't vanished off the face of the Drabwurld again, contrary to popular belief, despite keeping his head down since Samhain. Ensconced in the Caer Glaem library pulling up certificates, maps, and all the other ridiculous paraphernalia required for a legalised contact to take place, he flicks on the locket from his desk in a corner of the vast halls, surrounded by stacks. There he sits sipping a goblet of the last keg of leftover Dorwinion which is currently under strict guard in the cellars (looking at you Samhain revellers). On the table are scrolls and books, all of which have been tidied, while in front of him lies a black leather-bound folder, ostensibly containing the point of the broadcast. ]
The High-King and I have come to an arrangement. In exchange for fair recompense, I have bought the rights to the woodlands south of the forest river and west of the Hidden Falls, within a crux of the mountain-range, to be easily identified on any common map. [ It's not quite as simple as that, of course, but he'll save everyone the pointless politicking. That, and he doesn't want to bring up Celegorm's shard in public; it would be bad taste. ] Aelfen and Elven tribes alike will be travelling to Caer Glaem over the next week or so to replenish their supplies, tools and gold, well within their rights to do so, before continuing on to their new homeland. Please show these former refugees every kindness.
[ As dapper as he looks, he clearly doesn't intend to faff about chatting idly about inanities; someone wants a nice long sleep. ]
If you have business in what will be renamed the Maechenibryth, come the turn of the winter season, or have done in the past which you wish to pursue in the future, you may bring the matter to myself, Thranduil, or to my son, Legolas, who will pass it on accordingly. There is much yet to do and I have little enough time to spare.
[ Sipping his wine, he shuts off the locket. ]
( ooc: if you'd like to continue anything from samhain just pop me a pm and i'll get on it, otherwise i'll take this opportunity to declare tag amnesty on that front as it broke my inbox and burned me out, sobs. tagging will generally be slow until after the weekend because of work. ty for waiting! )

I am entirely certain I will have Legolas complaining for the rest of eternity if I fail to give you your own rooms. What do you think of having a wing to yourselves; you, he, and Master Gimli?
[ Stuffing the Fellowship of the Bros in a corner of the mountain, that is definitely a good idea. What could go wrong. ]
{Video}
What? Who said the Fellowship had to be mature adults?}To ask more of you would be bordering on thanklessness, however there is one other I would invite...
{It's probably not hard to guess who.}
Knowing she resides in safety would lighten my heart.
{Video}
Who says he won't be joining in?]I cannot imagine whom we might be speaking of, but I will take care of it.
{Video}
Okay but Aragorn gets a head start.}Arwen. {He smiles to himself, the expression remarkably affectionate.} I shall contact her.
{Private to Thranduil}
Bilbo requires watching and protection. I have been shadowing his steps, but I cannot watch him constantly.
{Video; Private}
[ He is shocked, truly.
Not at all.Have a small smile, his only reaction along with a knowing nod. When the locket shifts to private settings, he frowsn a touch. ]I have not seen Bilbo since my return. Send him to me, tell him I wish for his company, and I will speak with him. [ Quirking his head with interest. ] What has he done to garner your close watch?
{Video; Private}
But then the conversation turns to a matter most urgent. The color leaves his cheeks and he actually looks acutely uncomfortable.}
He carries a certain item on his person. {Being specific isn't going to happen. Not on the network.} I have offered to carry it for him, but he has accepted the burden as his own.
{Video; Private}
Slowly, as a sharp glance fixes on Aragorn and yet not, Thranduil's lips part. ]
... He still has it, then. Legolas and I suspected some time ago, when I first walked these lands. [ His frown deepens. ] What would you have me do? It will be safer with Bilbo than not, left to an unassuming Hobbit, and he will not take kindly to my mentioning of it.
