[ She offers her own huff of annoyance in return, because she can picture his current expression perfectly well, and it is not one that's taking her seriously. ]

I...suppose you're right. No--You are right, Thranduil. I'll be careful, and see what I can learn.

I hope that you can work things out with them. He...seemed nice enough. He was sympathetic, when I told him about how the elves here are...less, now. And he said I had a brave heart.

[ Beleth likes to believe she's cautious but that doesn't always stick around when people start giving her compliments and positive attention. It's almost like she has a self-esteem issue. ]

...By the way. Out of curiosity, are there any deep water monsters within Middle Earth, that you're aware of? Ones that are incomprehensibly enormous, beyond mortal reckoning, and what not.

[ Just wondering. ]

I will have you whole and hale, Beleth Ashara. I would be loathe to need to tell your mother that you had injured yourself on advice from me.

[ he doesn't have a fear of her, but who want to tell a parent that something happened to their child because of your incompetence or failure to strike fear into their heart? ]

You have a very brave heart, iell.

[ record scratch. ]

What is happening there, Beleth?

[arlathvhen]

I'm sure my mother would understand that it would be my own fault--Ah. Well.

[ Polite throat clearing. ]

I didn't want to worry you. [ But attempting to distract him with news of more Middle Earth elves didn't go very well. ] There's just this...beast, that has been stopping us from being able to get off the island. We've got a plan, though! Which is coming together quite well.

It's just that--I've never even heard of anything like it before. I was hoping that you might have some knowledge of something similar. Your lore doesn't seem quite so...ah. Lost to time.

I am sure of your capabilities, and equally confident your plan will succeed.

There are many creatures that made their home in Middle-earth, often born or nurtured by the hand of the Enemy. I am afraid I cannot offer you much aid. I fought in a war where I witnessed a great many of these creatures, but I was young and felled early on in the battle. I spent the remainder of the war healing.

Ah...Well. Thank you anyway. For telling me, and for your confidence.

I'll see you soon, Thranduil. And I'll remember what you've told me.
