Axe 02 - Video- Open to Both

[gloinul]

[He really doesn't like using this thing for anything more than responding to others but. Well.

Gimli starts the feed up and he has three of his five axes out in front of him, sharpening a fourth.]

Thought I might as well let the world at large know that if you are at all interesting in helping to rebuild the gates of the Cothromach, I'm the Dwarf you should speak to. I'm fairly certain anyone interested is already here, but. [And he shrugs] I hope you have people to vouch for you if you're interested. I do not tolerate slackers or liars on my jobs, nor do I tolerate saboteurs.

[Well, that explains the show of axes.

And he is done with this very painful task. The feed just cuts out]

[She can't help but-]

You are rebuilding the gates? They will be as grand, I am sure, as Moria's western gates.

[video]

[gloinul]

[He blushes, not that you can tell all that easily]

You flatter me, Lady Celebrían, but I am just the foreman.

[video]

[silvergift]

Would you let it be anything less than grand though?

[video]

[gloinul]

Tch, of course not! But I could never hope to find craftsmen as skilled as Khelebrimbor or Narvi in the Drabwurld.

[video]

[silvergift]

Perhaps not, Uncle 'Brimbor was very skilled as was Narvi. That does not mean anything you do will not be remembered.

Master Gimli.

[ she tries in vain to hide the fact that she is more skittish of those in her employ than they might ever be of her. her voice shakes still. ] Might I perhaps pull you from your work long enough to meet with me in the keep? I won't keep you long. I promise.

[He can tell that she's young, if nothing else, and that is enough to get him to be amicable and patient with her]

Of course, Lady Stark. I will be there shortly.

[steeledskin]

I would ask you up to my solar, but my papers have made such a clutter. A mess, truly. [ more of a question than a demand. ] There is a fine statue garden a mere stroll away from that spot. You and I can walk and talk, if you find it amenable.

You will find me there.

[gloinul]

[He simply nods and cuts the feed. Soon enough, Gimli is being shown to Sansa by a servant, who leaves them with a bow. Gimli bows himself]

Lady Stark.

[ The reply comes from a completely weaponless young girl. Apparently. ]

What happened to them? These gates of Cothromach?

[ She wants to know, so she's asking. She...has no real interest in helping rebuild them because that sounds dull and would require her to go somewhere (she has no idea where Cothromach is) but if it's important enough to address publicly like this, Shijima should probably bother to learn what it's about. ]

[gloinul]

They were destroyed in an attack. One set just need some minor repairs, but the rest...well, thankfully there is a lot of wood around.

[liven]

An attack by which side of this? Or neither? Your call is open to both "sides", correct?

[ Although since like 80% of the people she's spoken to don't care about the divide, that makes sense. Shijima doesn't care about it all that much, herself. ]

How do dwarfs differ from humans?

[ ...............that question is unrelated to anything else she just asked. But she's curious about that, too. Although that might possibly be rude. Sometimes a cat's manners are terrible. ]

[gloinul]

The enemies of Cothromach. I know several Unseelie who would never have attacked the city and so my call is open to both because of that.

[And the question startles him. He blinks]

In several ways. I do not have the time nor do I want to explain it all.

[rangerandking]

I wish you well on your endeavor. Should you need the aid of a Ranger King do not hesitate to ask.

{Video}

[gloinul]

Of course I wouldn't, though I honestly do not know what you could offer me, my friend!

[Teasing~]

[baseborne]

[This could get so hairy, so fast. Hairier than this dwarf fellow, even!]

--My lord. [Trying to make this sound respectful and not like a rebuke, because they really do need that gate to be rebuilt, but...] Should your call attract any shard-bearers from the Unseelie courts, I must needs see them and speak with them before can aid you in your task.

[Since... it was the Unseelie that knocked the damned thing down in the first place. Also Queen Solais said their keeper would be punished if Cothromach allowed in any that used the opportunity and proximity to cause trouble for the Seelie side in the war, and the Lady Keeper is Jon's little sister. So nope.jpg]

[gloinul]

And you are?

[Sorry Jon, but Gimli is scrutinizing you like you happen to be made of a particularly strange mineral]

[baseborne]

[Jon can't get no respect!] Jon Snow, captain of the city's guard.

[gloinul]

[You know, he'd probably be friendlier if you explained you were Sansa's brother, Jon. As it is, he just grumps]

I know a few Unseelie myself--friends from home, though why they are on that side is beyond any of us--and will vouchsafe for them and those they speak for. Otherwise you or the Lady Stark would have been called to judge any Unseelie who approach me anyway.

[There is a certain degree of "what do you take me for" going on there.]

[playmakings]

Hey, um, can I ask something? Just 'cause?

[ Kelsi don't say it don't say it-- ]

Do you.... Do you braid your own beard?

[gloinul]

[Gimli just stares for a moment because what the blazes.]

And what sort of question is that?!

[firith]

I look forward to viewing the final gates.

[gloinul]

Are you in the city, Elvenking?

[firith]

No, but I intend to see it in time. [ He has a lot of that, yo. ] How go your plans for it? I heard the fires were extensive to the gates.

[gloinul]

Aye, the fires and the demon dogs and Durin knows what else. We will need much more wood than any of the Men claimed if these are to last any time at all.
