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

The plan is to head south-west into the Great Greenwood forest to reach as far as the river and beyond if time will allow to go on and the river allows passage. [ He has his reasons for picking that direction, he had shared them with his father who showed his support. It's not something he thinks to share right now. ] The other direction that interests me is the road through the mountains into Cothromach. Perhaps you could investigate the roads through the forest and mountains north of Caer Glaem? They lay directly on the way from Caer Scima, though the map does not show the ability to pass through them.
[ He tilts his head briefly, curiously looking at the image in the locket: we can reach the furthest areas the fastest. The only thing that comes to mind is flight, in this case. ]
I am curious about the nature of your travel, if I may ask, flight is the only way that comes to my mind...

That sounds reasonable. It's possible we could find a path for people to cross into the adjacent forest without needing a pair of wings.
[He hesitates. After thinking about it for a moment, Nico decides that it might be alright to tell a little about what he can do, and what he is.]
I was born with an ability called shadow travel. I can pass through one shadow and appear in the shadow of another location. The downside is that the farther away I want to go, and the more people I have to bring with me, the more of an energy drain it puts on my body. For long distance, it's better if I do staggered trips and rest for at least an hour after.
