video. can never really keep the wood elf out of the forest

[orcsurfing]

[ Taught by witnessing his father's trial and error with those little devices, Legolas' own attempt is a little less disjointed. It's a clear picture of him from the very beginning with a fairy accompanying him that some may already find familiar as she would return to Legolas' side time and again ever since the welcoming feast days ago. Though unlike the many times before, she does not seem as happy.

His eyebrow is cocked a notch, the corner of his lip curled subtly in an expression of bemusement that is not devoid of amusement, or simple cheerfulness. Something like this will never be a preferred method to simply speaking face to face with another, but he can see its uses and he can see how convenient it is as well: to address many all at once, without needing to gather them all in one place or hunt down each and every one personally. Exactly as his current purpose requires. ]

I am Legolas, son of Thranduil. My father's purpose with you was with regards to the fortress itself. My own is with what we may find beyond it and along the borders.

I am to set out to travel into the Great Greenwood forest to investigate our borders within a day and I am looking for volunteers to accompany me. [ Not out of necessity, for he can travel by himself just as well, if not even more efficiently being an elf, but more so out of a wish for company as well as an attempt to build trust among the many various individuals gathered, all that were to be allies. Foster a sense of cooperation, rather than alienate himself. ] Such that are capable of travelling swift and light, riding hard and handling a weapon efficiently.

It is a short notice, but preparations are all too easy thanks to our hosts.

[ He offers a smile, dark lashes lowered over bright eyes, such a contrast to the pale gold of the hair framing his face. ]

If you wish to ride with me, you may come in contact with me by the means of the lockets and I will let you know of the time and the place.

[ That is all as far as parting words go, the feed is closed with a snap of the locket. ]

[ Talk about bearings very strange and most unusual for an elf to face. Not even dwarves or the hobbits managed to bemuse Legolas so. So direct and so uncouth by all the standards he had known up until now; it will be a while yet before it all stops surprising him, elves change slowly you see. But uncouth as it may be, the manner isn't entirely unpleasant, so when he returns the message it's without any sort of reproach. ]

Well met, Garth. Your knowledge would most certainly be of use and put my mind a little more at ease. Please join and share what knowledge and skill you possess and are willing to offer, tomorrow before sunrise at the stables. Do not concern yourself with a lack of a steed, it will be taken care of.

[ But this doesn't end here, however, because his curiosity gets the better of him and it shows in the look he gives the image in his locket and in the tone of his voice, ever so subtly inquiring. ]

I must ask, however, for the sake of sating my own curiosity: is this world your home if you know its creatures?

[fizzlesfolly]

[Garth was pleased with the quick return, and the offer to join Legolas's party.]

I'll be there. [A response to meeting the elf and his group at the stables.]

Oh, actually I'm not from Drabwurld. I was brought here by the fairies.

[He would explain, as quickly as he could so as to not drag out the video, how he could posses such knowledge.]

In the world where I'm from, I was a hunter of, well, supernatural creatures. I studied them, how to track them, catch them, and kill them if it was necessary. I even studied creatures that I hadn't encountered in my life, those that were supposedly myth based.

[A little long winded, but, fingers crossed, Legolas wouldn't mind the rambling.]

Not long after I was brought here, I stumbled upon the library. I found there, many scrolls detailing the creatures of this land. I didn't have the chance to look at them all, but the ones I did, were all creatures that I had previous knowledge on. Some, I had personal experience with and others I had studied.

[Garth stopped to take a breath, hoping that was sufficiently explanatory, and waited for any further questions from the elf.]

[orcsurfing]

[ For what it's worth, his listener is quite attentive and not in the slightest impatient with the long-winded explanation. Though not many elves would exactly call Legolas a patient elf, but this is one of the things he can sit through easily. And learning from another, hearing their stories, was always the better experience for him than learning from books, their dusty pages always a bore. ]

Fascinating that not all the worlds are as separate as mine seems to be from Drabwurld. Thank you, your company will be most valuable.

[fizzlesfolly]

[Garth nodded, it was fascinating. This world was so much different than his, but at the same time, so similar.]

You're welcome. I will meet you and your party at the stables.

[He closed the locket, excited, and headed towards his room to pack his things. He wondered if one of the fairies could help him get some of the supplies he would need for the trip.]
