7 ❧ Dictated

[It takes him a little while to think on how to do this. His journal is open and he's lightly tapping his fingers against the pages in thought. It almost seems like he's not aware he's doing it until he speaks.]

There is one who arrived recently who is alike a sister to me. Her name is Tauriel and I would be glad if you were all to treat her as kindly as you would treat me.

[OR ELSE

Short and simple.]

[itisourfight]

[ This is so typical of you, Legolas.

Tauriel isn't sure whether to be frustrated or touched and so ends up being a bit of both. ]

I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, you know.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[If it's typical, you shouldn't be frustrated. GOSH!]

I do know but I have been here longer and know Paradisa better than you.

Dictated

[itisourfight]

[ How many times Legolas that's not how this works... ]

As if it would have mattered if I were the one who had been here longest.

[ He would have done the same thing then as well, wouldn't he? ]

Dictated

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Too bad :p]

We may never know.

[There's an 80% chance that yes, he would have.]

[itisourfight]

[ Brat :| ]

I'm fairly certain that I do know. Should I make a similar announcement about what will happen to anyone that harms you?

[ Only she is allowed to lure Legolas into potentially lethal situations alright?

And yes, that is her way of saying that she's glad that he cares. ]

[lightbranded]

Another friend from your home? That's marvelous, Legolas.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

It is. She and I grew up together so she is more a sister to me than a friend~

[lightbranded]

I am very glad to hear it. [Will was very sincere about this. He often wished that he could see one of his own siblings again, so it made him very glad that one of his friends could have that here.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I think that you will like her, Will. [Legolas would be glad to share her with you, Will. Since you were his brother that one time. Which means Tauriel is kind of your sister too. elf logic]

[i_rule_me]

So the new elf-lady's one from your world, aye? I figured as much, when I met her.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

She is, yes. She is a guard captain of the Woodland Realm.

[i_rule_me]

Aye, he had that look about her. Tougher'n your usual stock...not that you lot are dainty by any stretch, heh.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Oh no, we are hardly a frail people. And I pity any who underestimate Tauriel.

(Dictated)

[tylendel]

There is no reason anyone would be cruel to her. (He doesn't mind knocking out rude people for you, Legolas.) A lady deserves the best treatment.

(Dictated)

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

There is not but I wanted to ensure that it will not happen. And I am sure she will not allow anyone to treat her poorly.

[Protective big little brother instincts.]

(Dictated)

[tylendel]

I'm sure she appreciates your concern. (Hey he knows about being a protective brother. He does - or did - have a twin.) Aside from Van, I would feel protective of just about anyone from Valdemar.

(Dictated)

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I hope that she does, though she pretends otherwise at the moment. [He smiles on his side on the journal.] Entirely understandable.

[inlifesname]

Don't worry; we'll roll out the welcome wagon. [Okay, she's teasing a little bit because this announcement is cute. But she means it. Legolas seems like a nice sort and Nita's generally of the opinion that people deserve to be treated well until they prove otherwise.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Nitaaaa. It's not cute, he's a very concerned brother. He will never admit it's cute. Never. Especially after meeting South Dakota when he arrived. He wants to spare Tauriel that if possible.]

You will like her, she is an elf as well.

[inlifesname]

[Hey, she gets it. If she had gotten here first, she would have done the same for Dair.]

Hey, that's not all it takes for me to like someone, you know.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[He likes when people understand him.]

Perhaps not but I thought it might draw your attention.

[rapscalliongirl]

Family huh~ Must be nice~ That's great for you!

[ She's happy for him. She... actually sounds a little hint of sad, though. ]

dictated;

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

It is, pleasant as I find the company of my king and the Lady Galadriel.

[He can hear that.] Is something wrong?

dictated;

[rapscalliongirl]

That's great for you. Having your superior here must be useful too. [ She'd like the Captain here, but not, for example, prince Nerva. Lady Scheherazade was dead so that was impossible, right? ]

…Juuust a little jealous...maybe.

dictated;

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I am not sure I would consider it useful. I have caused him trouble enough already but I am glad to be with him. [Loss sharing.]

I am sorry for that.
