Quest 1: A Wild Dwarf Appears! [Dictated/Action][Open to all - let me know if I messed up!!]

[fuckelves]

[Where is he? Why is there a book in his hand?]

...from the make of this place, I'd say this is Elf sorcery...

[To appease his curiosity, Thorin opens the book and finds not only his name, but the words he spoke not seconds ago written inside.]

...definitely Elf devilry.

[He tilts a brow and observes his surroundings - seems to be a lobby of some sort. Dwarves don't typically live in castles, so he knows this is not the work of his kind - and his kind would never demand the sacrifice that this castle did.]

Where in Mahal's beard am I?

[Why would anyone agree with that sentiment? She's nothing like the "cowardly" elves he may or may not have encountered, and she'll be damned if she's going to allow the same judgement to be passed onto her. They aren't even elves of Azeroth!

She draws in a slow breath, channeling what little patience she possesses.]

Because the actions of few should not damn the entire race.

[There's a lesson to be learned in this for Vereesa as well, but eh, details.]

But I suspect that I could explain my every reason for disagreeing with you and that would not change your mind. It is not a debate you are seeking.

[fuckelves]

Dwarves are not so stubborn as to not be open to debate!

[...yes they are Thorin, who are you trying to fool?]

And you speak as though my hatred is one-sided, and this is not the case! There has been tension between Elves and my kind since before my birth!

[Right, you just add to it...a lot.]

[sworn]

[She can understand that, she really can. Horde, anyone? But they aren't talking about a mutual hatred for orcs, so it's not the same. Definitely not the same. This is personal. Sort of. It's the principle of the matter.]

I cannot speak for the matters of your world as I do not know them, that much I can admit. However, if you intend to bring your hatred for the elves of your land into this world and apply them to any elf you encounter, we will have a problem.

[fuckelves]

[She hates Orcs? There should be an excuse to somehow bring them up...let's trigger Thorin's post-traumatic stress disorder, shall we?!]

...there are multiple Elves then?

[He's not sure how he feels about this.]

Bah...regardless, if they do not cause problems for me, I won't cause problems for them.

[....but your abrasive personality is bound to cause issues, Thorin!]

[sworn]

See to it that it doesn't. We are not your enemies, nor do we have any intention of becoming enemies.

[Unless that attitude keeps up, buddy.]

[fuckelves]

Do not mistake my passivity for being weak, Elf. I will not be ordered about that way!

I am King Under the Mountain, after all! I take orders from no one, certainly no Elf.
