[ Thranduil has been recovering from the multiple wounds suffered from almost getting devoured by a particularly large worm. Now the attacks have tapered off to nothing and the castle is being rebuilt, the Elvenking is healing a lot faster. He sits before a tall open window in his quarters, long hair brushed over warm, thick silver robes. Perhaps a little paler than usual, but otherwise one wouldn't think he had been treated like a dog-toy by a monster.
He does not lock the broadcast to Seelie, inviting their enemies to speak simply by omitting a decline. ]
I hope that all those who fought the worms are similarly on the mend. I should like to request a moment of your time, Khaleesi, on an unrelated matter, and to ask —
Nan ear adh in elin! Anthedh vîr mi 'uren.
[ A younger voice bursts unexpectedly over the locket from near the window. Thranduil glances aside without turning his head, brows raised; the infiltrator is shortly revealed to be none other than his son, Legolas, chatting to birds on the window-sill as they give him little gifts of fruits in their beaks.#elves tho Though the language devolves into native Sindarin, the tone set by the conversation is one of a universal 'son, please, not now'. ]
No dhínen, Legolas.
[ Legolas only laughs, unafraid by the rebuff. ] Tolo, govano ven!!
Ú-iston. [ Easing back in his winged armchair, Thranduil rests fingertips by a temple, speaking askance to the figure. ] O van oduleg? N'uir thiad gîn 'ell ...
Iston! [ —exclaims Legolas, throwing his head back with laughter at his father's dry would-be sarcasm. ]
Gi nathlam hi, tolo enni. [ — sighs Thranduil, holding out his free hand to beckon his son over. (And Legolas does a fine job of crawling right up onto the arm-rest, slouching into Thranduil's personal space as only a fearless child can do, gaining a glance from the Elvenking). Continuing, Thranduil looks to the locket. ] As I was saying —
[ The wounded noise Legolas makes, straightening in his seat to complain as he notices he is being videoed, is enough to get a sharp look from Thranduil in exasperation. ]
Man cerir hí? Ai, nínion!!
[ Thranduil retains his pokerface of a cool, elevated brow as his son slides out of view as though shot through the heart. ]
What are you eating that is making you so dramatic, I wonder. [ Clearly nothing else is going to get done today while his son is intent on hovering around like abothersome nursemaid as Thranduil heals, so the locket is smartly snapped shut on the tail-end of the Elvenking's mutter. ] I am not going to pick up a thousand-year-old Elf — one of the Nine Walkers and Prince of the Woodland Realm — off the floor, Legolas ...

They're father and son. On his final trips made to the temporary infirmary during the worm attacks, Fili caught glimpses of the injured Elvenking, the healers tending to him. It must be only recently that he is awake, and Fili can all too easily put himself in the shoes of someone waiting for a loved one to recover and imagine things that thankfully didn't happen.
Given the encounters upon his arrival, he feels as though he should say something after witnessing this scene.]
You seem quicker to heal than most.

What does not immediately kill an Elf is not likely to be their undoing.
[ So chop off their head or something. ]

Only when their sons are about and in the vicinity.

Whoops. Don't cry, Legolas.Fili pauses when Legolas' face reappears inside the locket. That he is Thranduil's son might explain quite a bit more than the family resemblance, but those things don't need to be dragged from the past to the here and now. There is a hint of a smile offered to the younger of the two elves.]... A swift recovery to you, all the same. [Even if the Elvenking seems to have that behind him.]
