☯ ONE. ( VIDEO, UNLOCKED. + action for caer glaem! )

[sangilak]

[ let's play a game, bilbo said. it'll be fun, bilbo said. don't use naga, your dog is a crutch. YEAH WELL YOU KNOW WHAT.

korra would've totally won within minutes if she'd been able to use her best friend for help, but pride wouldn't let her.

but now here she is, about three days later, visibly frustrated but letting it only last for a few seconds, perking up when she finally gets the locket to work. ]

Hey, who wants to help me play a game! [ despite her broad grin, this game is super not physically demanding. really!! ] See, I lost someone, and for the past three days I've been trying to find him, but, heh, I guess he's a better hider than I thought.

[ behind her, the giant polar beardog lets out a sigh, her tail thumping lazily on the floor. ]

What? [ korra turns to face the massive animal, who picks her head up, letting out a half-bark. ] Naga, you know the rules. I can't ask you for help, but Bilbo didn't say I couldn't ask everyone else...

[ naga just fixes korra with a look that says "you're doing it again" before placing her chin on her paws. ]

... Yeah, well, no one asked you. [ and so korra turns back to the locket, still pushing a grin. ] If you wanna help me find him, he's about—um... [ she lifts a hand to her stomach... lower... hip... ah... fuck it!! ] He's really short and he's got this curly hair and really hairy feet. He kinda... looks? like a kid? But don't call him that because he's really a grumpy old man and he's kinda sensitive about that.

[ and with that, korra nods once and ends the feed!! she and naga are going to be around everywhere in the castle looking for bilbo, so if you'd like to action in this post, go right ahead!! ]

You could always deny her dinner if it is not her who finds you. She is cheating, after all.

[sangilak]

I am not cheating!

[goldsickness]

Right, of course.

[ It's not that he sounds convincing. He just doesn't really care much. ]

[somethingprecious]

Maybe I'll settle on making her lunch then. She has been trying very hard these past few days.

[goldsickness]

A reward for effort, then.

[ You're too nice for your own good, Bilbo. ]

[somethingprecious]

[He has his reasons for even suggesting a game.]

It's not so bad. I do love to cook and it gives me something to do. [Rather than sit in the library holding his head and trying not to panic too much over things he has no control over.]

[goldsickness]

[ Why, Mister Baggins, that almost sounds as if a quiet hobbit's life has become too boring to you. ]

I would suggest trying to find a way out of this place, but I suspect you must have done a fair amount of looking around yourself so far.

[somethingprecious]

[That is utter nonsense.]

I have yet to venture too far down the catacombs in fear that I may get myself lost somehow.

Besides I doubt we could find any way back home that wasn't by the grace of the King and Queen here.

[goldsickness]

[ Yes, it must be. ]

No, I do not think so. And even if there were one, I doubt we would find it in the catacombs of all places.

[somethingprecious]

[It is!]

If I happen to find something you'll be the first to know, Thorin. [He's only slightly teasing him.] Perhaps my luck hasn't completely run dry yet.

[goldsickness]

We shall see. Some luck could do us all well right now.

[ And yet he's not quite so naïve as to think that luck alone will get them out of this predicament. ]
