[ The feed flickers on, displaying an elf seated in one of the more comfortable seats that the library of Caer Glaem has to offer. Nuada is garbed in his customary black, pale hair hanging loosely over his shoulders, and stares straight at the locket. ]

Good day, gentlefolk. I seek the fell beast known as Greenleaf. If you are near the environs of Caer Glaem, my lord, I can be found in the library. I would like to meet you.

[ And now that the invitation (or challenge, depending on point of view) is out of the way: ]

I also seek stories, or information, from those who may share their worlds with my kind. My name is Nuada Silverlance, son of King Balor, of the Clan Bethmoora. Some of my people - our gods - fled from home many years ago, and I have long searched for their location.

Therefore, if anyone would like to share their legends, I would be a most appreciative audience.

[ The feed shuts off a moment later. ]

[ Now Nuada looks surprised. And then maybe amused. Inwardly. ]

His Majesty's exact words were "the fell beast known as Greenleaf."

I will never understand Elves.

[All the annoyance]

Legolas is impossible but he is no monster. He takes after his father.

[IN EVERY. SINGLE. WAY. ALL THE WAYS. EVEN AND ESPECIALLY THE ANNOYING ONES]

I cannot compare the two, alas.

[ Pfft. ]

My quarry has not yet shown himself.

[gloinul]

Legolas is no one's "quarry". He is an Elf and a Prince and a friend.

video

[bethmoras]

He has a very valiant defender. Who are you?

video

[gloinul]

Gimli, son of Glóin.

video

[bethmoras]

Nuada, son of Balor. A pleasure to meet you, Lord Gimli.

[gloinul]

I am not sure I can say the same, though I imagine you have reasons for thinking Legolas a fell beast.

[THRANDUIL]

[bethmoras]

So be it.

[ sort of. ]

That is partly how he was described to me.

video

[gloinul]

And it was not metaphor?

video

[bethmoras]

At the time, I was not entirely sure.

video

[gloinul]

And now?

[bethmoras]

Now I may indulge myself in some research.
