[ The response is much affected, not exaggerated beyond reason, not enough to appear fake, but it is a bit of an act anyway, while Legolas keeps his excitement at bay. Or at the very least attempts to.
He raises from where he rested, perched upon an edge of a table and whips out the map he received upon arrival. His sigh: put upon, but for the quirk of lips that betray what Thranduil most likely did not even have to read on his face.

At Thranduil's side, he spreads the map out as to plan out the stages of this upcoming travel, further betraying that this was exactly something he was waiting for. ]
If someone must do this, then I will bear the burden. [ The act fails, however, with the outright joy that fills his voice: ] I had thought of it as well already and thought to begin by heading south-west into the Great Greenwood over the flat lands and to at least reach the river.

Beyond that, the way to Cothromach interests me as well.
