[ataraxites]

CHARACTERS: Ensemble production!
LOCATION: Oxygen Gardens
WARNINGS: Camping.
SUMMARY: Hanging out in camp, discussing pirates, etc.
NOTES: Open to all!

No, no my lady.

[Fili shook his head, smiling up at her, his good nature coming forward.]

I am but trapped here as you are. I would protect you from them if I could, as I would protect all of us travelers, here.

[sundroplet]

Oh.

[ ... ]

Oh. I'm....sorry. really sorry. I thought you were here to steal my - to steal from us.

[longestnose]

I do hope I don't look so rough as those pirates.

[He chuckles, shaking his head.]

I'm not one for stealing. Here, let us exchange names, so we remain less strangers.

I am Fili, sister-son to Thorin, King Under the Mountain. I would be at your service.

[sundroplet]

King Under the Mountain.

[ that sounds like something out of a book. She smiles, a tentative curve of her lips. ]

I'm Rapunzel.

[longestnose]

He is here, you know, if you ever would like to meet him.

[He gives a wonderful bow, the best he can manage. He is a great deal shorter than her--but to him she's just tall.]

Well I am pleased to meet you, Lady Rapunzel.

[sundroplet]

Your king? There is a king here?

[ wow, so starry eyed. ]

I - wouldn't really know what to say. And when I don't then I start to mumble and mother said well - nobody likes a mumbler.

I-it's just Rapunzel, too! I'm not a lady. At least I don't think I am -

[longestnose]

Aye. A good man he is, too.

[Isn't she just a beautiful sweet thing?]

I don't mind a mumbler. In fact I'm friends with one or two, where I come from. [Sometimes Ori would even stutter, especially when shy.] It just means I'll have to listen better to what you have to say--never a bad thing, I think.

A lady can be in her bearing, not just her breeding, I think.

[sundroplet]

[ that does help a bit. she smiles, open and bright before taking another step forward. ]

Thank you. um, thank you so much, for both.

[longestnose]

I am glad to do it.

[He smiles.]

Now you haven't actually seen any of the pirates here, have you?

[sundroplet]

Um. Not really. I mean...I think I've spoken to one of them on the magic box but I haven't actually seen them here.

[longestnose]

Well hopefully it will remain that way.

We're going to try and keep this area as safe as possible. So you don't have to hit people with that fearsome weapon of yours.
