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. ]

... He's your dad? ( WOAH NELLY THE AGING PROCESS LACK. ) -- How? You look like yo're the same age! Not that it can't be explained by the fact that you're clearly not human, but still. Do people ever confuse you for brothers?

( Wow sorry where are her manners? Lydia smiles. )

I'd like to go, actually. But when you say... Riding. Do you mean horses? And I'm not that great with weapons. Though, I'm a quick study, and I've read a lot about archery.

Reconnaissance... that sounds very prudent.

My name is Hephaestion. I'd like to accompany you, if you'll have me.

[Garth finished watching the video, and smiled. Another elf. He'd already met Legolas's father Thranduil, and the fairies having brought both father and son here only added to the mystery of this place.]

Hey, Legolas. I'm Garth. I've already met your father.

[He readjusted the locket, to give the elf a more pleasing view of his face and one that looked decidedly less, um, skeletal.]

I'm no stranger to travelling efficiently and with little to no comforts. I can ride a horse, but do not have one of my own. I can handle a gun and a knife, and have knowledge of the creatures of Drabwurld. [A side effect of his career, rather than knowledge gained because he sought it out.]

If you want me to join your party, just let me know. Until then..

[He tipped his head forward, nodded, and clicked the locket closed, stopping the transmission.]

[ so. it's taken some trial and error to use the locket. this is way more advanced tech than bucky's used to working with. but, he's nothing if not stubborn when it comes to opposing forces. and while he's still not fully clear how this little thing works (and, really, he'd faster assume break it than attempt any carefulness with it at all), he's got a... small hang of it.

at the very least, he's got it sitting on the table in front of him and he's not looking for how people are inside of it.

anyhow, this sort of mission captures his interest. he's not real into falling from one war to another, but he's a soldier and duty calls. it's gotta be better out traveling and knowing the lay of the land rather than sitting around feeling sorry for himself (he never did wear pity, and refuses to do it now).

all that aside, do pardon the way he stares (he is trying not to, but...). before today he woulda thought fairies didn't exist, but now... well. it doesn't matter. he can think about it later. ]

Dunno about light, pal, but all that other stuff I can handle. Sounds like somethin' I'd much rather be doin' anyway.

[He's never going to get the hang of this so the video really just shows one eye and a part of his face as the wizard speaks, talking excitedly]

I have spoken to Thranduil of your journey, I will be most curious as to what you will uncover!

[Hard riding is the only item on the list she has not attempted, but given the choice of here or learning to ride in pain silently? She knows the answer.]

Well met, Legolas. My name is Danielle...daughter of Auguste. I would see these new lands myself, should there be room for another sword.

I've already got a trip planned with my own team to do some reconnaissance, and to be honest we'll be able to move a lot faster with our own methods.

[besides the fact that he personally wouldn't recommend shadow travel as an option to anyone with a weak stomach, jason's pretty sure it'd be rude to just volunteer nico's services without his permission. not to mention that nico doesn't exactly like having people he knows tag along, let alone strangers. either way, directly teaming up with anyone else probably isn't going to happen.

however, he did volunteer to handle the social aspect of things, and finding allies is definitely a part of that.]

Our goal is still pretty much the same, though, so it couldn't hurt to coordinate and share information.

I wish to ride. Every moment we spend here is...

[ An eternity spent in uncertainty. He cannot bear it. ]

...time wasted. The sooner we ride out and overthrow our enemy, the sooner we can — gah!

[ His head jerks offscreen, followed by a loud metallic clatter (as the locket hits the ground) and then... tinkling, high-pitched laughter.

Still offscreen: ]

Let go!

[ If Hawke was able to chinhand she would - pretty elves are her favourite - well, all elves are her favourite, but she has a soft spot for the pretty ones that could kill someone in the blink of an eye. She leans into the camera, quite curious. ]

I would be more than happy to volunteer. Exploring, trampling through wilderness and killing things? [ Her shoulder lifts, absently, even as her smile widens. ] It sounds like an average Tuesday to me.

[While totally handing off the whole social thing to Jason, Nico is still interested in people who are also going to be scouting around. He doesn't mind coordinating to get a better picture of the land, and it'll take less time.]

I'm heading out as well with the same purpose in mind. What areas are you hoping to explore? My...team can search a different place. [A slight pause before offering:] We can reach the furthest areas the fastest.
