video - one.

When my mother told me tales of magical creatures and monsters under the bed when I was a child I always thought they were just stories to teach me a lesson - you know, 'don't sleep under the bed with the dog, Marian, the monsters will get you'! I didn't think they were real, I thought she meant fleas.

[ She's lifting her shoulder, now, almost a shrug, even as she's grinning. Humour is her forte, her defence, and waking up in a place where she has to fight another war for people she barely knows, other than as a whole, as stereotypes. It's not that she minds fighting, of course, as that's what she does for a living, but she likes having a definite reason to fight. Someone was murdered, a child was kidnapped, mages were being tortured, elves enslaved - that sort of thing. She needs a little more than 'she's special'.

Because, in her mind, she isn't. ]


But here we are and here they are. We're here to help, right? ... Unless this has something to do with the looters in the Wounded Coast or that Qunari patrol, in which case... I didn't do it? Really, I promise it was an accident. Honest.

[ The little smile on her face is proof enough that it obviously wasn't an accident - but she continues, crossing her arms over her chest. Jokes and humour are all well and good, of course, but she does have a point. ]

If you've seen a dwarf without a beard, tell me. Or a scary glowing elf. Actually, if you see scary glowing anything you should definitely let me know. I'll take care of them.

I am an elf, but I must inform you that I have never glowed.

[He knows tall, broody elves. Beleg's considered fairly tall himself. But glowing, that is a first.]

What would you define as 'annoy' for this elf?

[It takes a moment of fumbling before Celebrimbor's image wavers up.]

An elf? Surprisingly we've seen a lot of those. At least a dwarf as well, but he has a beard. [His mouth twists a little.] What kind of dwarf doesn't have a beard?

Slavery will annoy me as well. I have no opinion on mages. Does his own happiness annoy him or is it the happiness of others?
volcanic: (huff)

I'd much rather deal with monsters than this. [ An annoyed huff. ]
volcanic: (flowers)

Anything... trolls maybe. At least they're stupid and turn into stone in the sunlight. [ So, not a problem! Unlike this predicament. ]
happilyevermore: (And this seemed like a good plan how?)

[After a couple days in this place, the rueful amusement is finally able to take a place in her tone over just plain panic]

'Scary' seems a relative term at the moment, my lady.

[Celebrimbor laughs, an honest sound that's pulled from him with something like surprise.] Running for home, eh? [He plays a long.] What he could have possibly done to make a beard wish for home?
untranquil: (hm)

You know, you'd probably get into less trouble if you stopped volunteering for it.

I would prefer rational, I fear this court has granted me an excesses of pretty things.
beleg: (sideways glance)

[personal profile] beleg 2014-04-08 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish you good fortune in finding him then. And your friend dwarf, though I have never heard of one without a beard.
happilyevermore: (How is this conversation happening)

Rationally speaking, the very definition of frightening is in question here, is it not? Being taken to a strange land by faeries would have qualified as terrifying a week ago, yet here I am. I can hardly say what will remain truly frightening a month hence.

[She catches herself. Getting a little beside the point, Danielle.]

Though I shall have to wait and see as to the claims of your elf.
volcanic: (what)

None...? But they've always been like that.
