memory. open to both courts.
[ All around is white, snow whips across the picture along with long strands of pale golden hair. A pace or two away a couple figures stand huddled together, pressed against a wall of a mountain. Two tall men, four hobbits whose heads barely stand above the surface of the snow, A DWARF* that stands a little taller yet still, and a greying man dressed in greys in a pointed hat. The image, oddly enough, shows them from somehow above all. ]
If Gandalf would go before us with a bright flame, he might melt a path for you.
[ For some, perhaps a familiar voice, for others perhaps not. Light of heart and little troubled by the storm. The man in the pointed hat answers him. ]
If Elves could fly over mountains, they might fetch the Sun to save us.
[ But no matter the wizard and elf exchanging jabs at each other, there are still Men with ideas here. One speaks: ]
Well, when heads are at a loss bodies must severe, as we say in my country. The strongest of us must seek a way. See! Though all is now snow-clad, our path, as we came up, turned about that shoulder or rock down yonder. It was there that the snow first began to burden us. If we could reach that point, maybe it would prove easier beyond. It is no more than a furlong off, I guess.
[ Another - the tallest - answers him: ]
Then let us force a path thither, you and I!
[ And for a moment there it seems that would be the end of the conversation, the camera - so to speak - follows the toiling men, the way they work through the snow with great trouble yet also with some success. Yet not before long, Legolas speaks up again, his voice rising easily in the noise of the snow storm. ]
The strongest must seek a way, say you? But I say: let a ploughman plough, but choose an otter for swimming, and for running light over grass and leaf, or over snow - an Elf!
[ With that said, he springs forth nimbly. The camera briefly showing his feet on the snow, sinking but only a little, leaving little imprints in the cover of snow. And he runs light and easy. ]
Farewell! I go to find the Sun!
[ He says with a last look to Gandalf first, then to the toiling men, Aragorn and Boromir. For them, he has a wave of a hand, before he speeds off. ]

Gimli! That's him, little cousin Gimli!
[Kili touches his own chin, looking a bit unnerved.] Why does he have a greater beard than I? That is terribly unfair.
no subject
That would be him, indeed! Fiery red hair much like his temper, and a great beard! [ And then gentle laughter following! ] Does it not take time to grow one out? I would not know, in truth, but it may still be before you. The fate of sporting the greatest beard among all the dwarves!
[ He's not mocking, simply teasing a lot. Beards are funny to him. ]
omg i just clicked on your visual aid link and i can't stop laughing THAT WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED
hehehehe
Oh, but I doubt you not! With time perhaps it will come to be.
[ A beat of a pause. ]
Or if you are too impatient, ask the monarchs of Drabwurld? They do give their gifts so freely, after all.
leGOLAS nOOO
LEGOLAS YES
You are most welcome for the suggestion. I hope the results will be of your liking.
