Axe 01 - Audio - Open to Both Courts - Forward-dated to October 2nd

[Not a video, just audio. It’s clear, however, that the person on the other end is inspecting the locket]

--hmph, thought as much. "Say a phrase and the magic will work", hm? Ridiculous. Who ever heard of speaking over distances with a locket.. Not even Legolas with all his fanciful Elven stories would have come up with something so foolish.

[More tapping and poking can be heard]

There’s nothing special about this at all. No gems, not even made of precious metals...and those creatures expect me to believe their stories? [A snort] I’d sooner believe there’s a man in Rohan afraid of horses! [He pauses, and then scoffs] Bah, listen to me, talking to myself. Legolas must be rubbing off on me more than I thought!

[Click goes the locket.]

[His guess confirmed right, he smiles, although it's strange to actually be speaking with this older Gimli -- who doesn't look particularly surprised at all.

The mention of Kíli could explain it.]

I'll find him. [A brief laugh.] Will our faces change so little in all that time?

[Gimli's face, on the other hand, has changed from what Fíli remembers, even if he can still look at him and find his cousin beneath all that hair. The beard was the first thing that Kíli noticed, no doubt.]

Tch, I've seen them nearly every day! I could never mistake you two for anyone else, no matter what you look like!

[Not a lie! Which makes it worse]

That takes care of one thing, then.

[He does have to wonder why the fairies took Gimli from so far ahead in their future, but he leaves that for now.]

We should meet somewhere, all three of us. If you were brought to Caer Glaem, there's no reason to use these to talk.

Yes, yes. I think I said I would meet your brother in the dining hall.

In that case, I suppose I'll find both of you.

[Right now, in fact, Fíli's footsteps picked up by the locket as he makes his way to their meeting place.]
