video | Open to both courts

[Sigrid is looking fairly haggard and pale. Behind her is the rugged green wilderness surrounding the Station, though the Station itself is not in sight.]

I'm in the middle of nowhere at all and I've got a bad leg. I couldn't find my locket and I had to ask a thrush to find it for me. A thrush. I'm talking to thrushes and they answer me. Anyway I need help. The thrush said he'd go and find someone, but I don't know who he meant. Does anyone know if thrushes are wise birds or silly birds? If he brings back a bear or something, I've got to hide now.

[ He's 99% certain that Bard wouldn't thank him for letting his daughter possibly be eaten by a bear because of a loopy thrush. Thranduil checks the lockets soon after the bird swoops in to disturb him at his meal and fixes his remaining sword to a belted hip, taking Gelefn to ride out of the station. Legolas is already occupied for the time being, he hasn't needed Thranduil all afternoon.

Five minutes or so after Sigrid's broadcast and the unicorn finding a comfortable pace as it follows the excitable thrush, the Elvenking responds. ]

Exactly how badly injured is your leg? Your messenger failed to elaborate.

Wait, wait.....why on earth would a thrush partner with a bear?

[Let's get to the important things first.]

You...talked to a bird?

[He has to take a second to process that, giving her a searching look to see if this is all some joke or not.]

Are you sure you didn't hit your head somewhere, or something?

[Not trying to be rude!! Just...pointing out other possibilities. More likely possibilities.]

...What happened to your leg?

[ or perhaps it was always bad. how is she to know? she's never truly met her friend. ]

[Gods Sigrid, you find more trouble than Arya, and that's saying something. Worried:] Did you find aid?

You are near the Station, mistress. I recognise those woods. If twas a thrush you spoke to, undoubtedly Thranduil will know by now.

[ here have another elf, although this one is outside somewhere, and doesn't look particularly well ]

[Faolan raises an eyebrow. He has experience with uncanny birds, but never once did he witness them speaking. Not even Drustan, the bird man himself.]

Are you certain that it was only a bird that you were speaking to?

Seven hells. What's the use of these fairy royals if they can't even manage to keep track of us?

[War of the shards. Lost due to utter incompetence.]

[ The craggy face that answers is pinched with worry. ]

I should have checked this earlier rather than hunt the castle for you! Have you found sanctuary, Sigrid? Are you safe?
