Guess who's coming to dinner...

Who: Legolas, Gimli, Thranduil
What: Homecoming, with a Dwarf friend in tow.
Where: Eyrn Lasgalen & Thranduil's Palace
Open/Closed: Closed
Notes: After the destruction of the ring and visits to the Glittering Caves and Fangorn Forest. (Tag Order = Legolas, Gimli, Thranduil? Is that cool?)



[Once they were in sight of the newly named Eyrn Lasgalen, Legolas had lost his interest in conversation. Much of the Wood he called home was now charred and covered in ash, and it hurt to see it. Despite this, the Battle Under the Trees was over, and the Wood was safe once more.

Many of the pathways the prince remembered were blocked off or turned off in odd places now, but with his intimate knowledge of the Wood, he managed to continue steering Arod on paths open enough for a mounted horse to pass through.
The only thing that lightened his heart was to see the occasional small green sprouts forming, as the forest did it's best to heal itself. It would become green again, as it should have been.

It wasn't until they had reached the main bridge that he spoke again, mood lightening a touch at the familiar sight.]


Beyond this gate lies the Halls of the Woodland Realm; my home.

[The guards at the gate exchanged a few words with each other, then opened it's doors. Legolas dismounts and waits for Gimli to do the same (offering assistance, only if needed.) before handing Arod off to be sent to the stables. The other Elves seemed uneasy around Gimli, and though they tried not to stare, a few distasteful glances were flashed the Dwarf's way.]

[Thranduil's remarks causes Gimli to snort, but he doesn't not answer him out of respect for Legolas.]

Careful? [He chuckles a bit.] Laddie, you forget who you're talking to. I can handle any drink you hand me!

[Gimli stands a bit straighter, carefully watching the elvenking's expression. He's determined not to show a sign of weakness.]

Nevertheless, the people will wish to know of the events their prince took part in, as would the king. But I will not press you to tell your tale twice. A few words at the feast shall suffice, but in private then I will demand a longer telling. [He glances from son to dwarf calmly assessing the creature dwarf.] Your boast shall be put to the test then Gimli son of Glóin. It will be my pleasure to have you dining under the stars with us tonight out under the bowers of my cherished realm.

[His words were kind, as kind as he could make them, but they were said slightly forced. Still for the sake of his son, he would make an effort to remain civil.]
