video | this is it boys, this is war | open to both courts
I don’t know you people. Not really.
[ Jake is seated in what looks to be some sort of a tavern, the walls behind him planks of wood instead of the stone of any of the castles. His hat is on, bright blue eyes staring out from under it, fixed on the locket. ]
And unless I’ve missed something, none of you know me.
[ He certainly hopes no one knows him – he’s wanted, after all. ]
But I don’t know these people who took us here, neither. And I ain't inclined to go to war on their word.
[ This isn’t a draft. It’s kidnapping, and while he has vague memories of having kidnapped before, it was never to gain soldiers. ]
Now, I reckon I ain’t the only one feelin’ that way. If I’m right [ and he’s willing to bet that he is ] and you ain’t content to sit around or be pushed into fighting for ‘em, then… well. [ Surprisingly white teeth show in a sharp grin. ] We may have some things to talk about.

Smarter than I too, I would say. We are dangerous to rouse, I suppose. Perhaps they hoped to sway us swiftly to their side. But most of those they snared have had far too much experience of war to walk into it with open eyes. That we are on both sides of the fence makes it no easier for them.

[ That's the one part that he feels may not be bullshit. ]
You said there's other elves who're Seelie. Think you could ask 'em?

Most of my kin are Seelie - I can ask, aye. My cousin Galadriel might know - or you might ask King Thranduil.

He's one the one people say left the court.

I do not mind overmuch myself - provided said King or Queen is a good one. [ He had been angry, when Maedhros yielded kingship to his uncle, but he had bent to his brother's will much easier than his siblings, for Fingolfin was a good man, and proved to be both wise and just, before his death ]
Aye, he is. For the sake of his son, he has forsworn all bonds of loyalty to either court, and means to carve out his own place. In truth, it is little different to the decision that his father made in our own world, or so my cousin tells me.
