[By the looks of things, Lindir is sitting down in a high backed chair in one of Blackstaff's guest rooms. He says nothing, but continues poking at the screen, furrowing his brows and frowning. As there's a beep from the device, he turns his head to listen to it, then looks back again. He lets out a deep sigh. This was going to be a lot harder than he thought it would be. Why did he ever agree to this?]

Comments

He very slightly jumps under the touch, but does not shy away.

"I very rarely drink anything other than wine, but I would welcome your company. I am more at ease knowing one of my own kind is here in this world."

Then, he realizes what she had first said, and suddenly he's a bit more nervous around her. "You were raised by King Thranduil?"

Knowing that, her suggestion was not too surprising - wine flowed rather freely in the Woodland Realm, and if rumors were true, even more so at the king's own table.

A soft laugh escapes her, she cannot help it as he reminds her so much of a scared rabbit. This does not make her think any less of him however, as there are all kinds of Eldar and non-combatants can be just as avluable as those who chose to fight. "Do not think anything of it! I was merely a ward within his palace."

[lindir]

"'Merely' is not a word I would use. That is quite an honor, King Thranduil does not seem the sort to take on a ward lightly... that is, if what we in Imladris hear about his temperament is true. I have not met the king, but I have had chance to meet with his son."

[tawarwaith]

She glances away to hide the discomfort his words cause and drops her hand from his arm. Maybe one day she would be better at concealing some of her discomfort over what happened between her and the king.

"It is true that my king does have an ill temper but he does have moments of levity. He raised me as a ward in his care because he saw something in me that he liked."

[lindir]

He wonders at the sudden change in her, but it wasn't polite to pry, so does not question her on it. He does look a little surprised at her comment about the king having moments of levity, but takes her word for it. Whispers from far in the east were nothing compared to the word of the king's ward.

"You say you are a captain of the guard? Perhaps he sensed that potential in you."

[tawarwaith]

"I have hear that said by others before. I do not know if there is truth to it or not, but my king has lived a long time." She does not like to brag about any comparisons that might be made between her and the king, so she instead gestures to the gardens around them. "Is there a particular thing you wish to see here? I could show you my favourite path to walk? there are a few fountains scattered through out it. "

[lindir]

At that he also looks around the garden, following her gesture. "You know the paths here better than I, so I will trust your judgement. If we walk near to fountains all the better."

[tawarwaith]

She gestures down a path with a small smile indicating that would be the one they walk on first as it circles the Koi pond before wandering through an area that is almost japanese-esque in the form of flowers and aesthetics (especially the different varieties of orchid that can be found).

"I think you will find this path most to your liking currently."

[lindir]

"Then I will follow your lead."
