I darted back to the camp to find Vila and impart my news to her, but instead, I tripped and fell face down on the ground, on--a tree root? I picked myself up, red-faced with embaressment, hoping Aldarion was nowhere near, and looked down at what I had thought was a tree root
"Oh! You!" I exclaimed furiously, the color on my face increasing, and not from embarrassment this time. My hands clenched into fists. "Is there a reason why you have your foot stuck out?" I said in a dangerously low vouce to the smirking dwarf.
He started to say something, but I cut him off. "So. First you assault and abduct me, then you trip me! I think Ellandan and Ellohir will like to have a little talk with you about this when I tell them!"
He finally got a word in. "I didn't trip you," he declared.
"No?" I said indignately, about to explode again.
He was smirking again. "You tripped over my foot," he stated.
I completely lost control. "OH!!! You are the RUDEST, most LYING, smelly DWARF I've ever met!!!!!!!"
"You've probably never met a dwarf before," he said, not looking affected by my words in the least.
"Oh, yes, I have," I said triumphantly. "I met Gimli, and he was very well-mannered, not in the least like you."
"I admire his patience if he could put up with such an ill-mannered elf as you," he snorted.
"Oh! Mîbo orch!" (Go kiss an orc!) I hissed furiously, spinning and stomping off.
He stroked his beard as he stared after me. "Now, I wonder what that meant?" he muttered to himself.

(this is supposed to take place right after my last post... but looking bakc, i realized a day or two might have gone by, so can we just pretend it does, then?)
YES!!!! Good for you Lira! Someone really needs to put that dwarf in his place! I fear his has gained two terrible enemies in you and I! I nearly feel sorry for him.... nah! Someone else can be friends with Grumpy! Like... Samdo! *rolls eyes* Or maybe Legolas, he has experience with dwarves.
We need to put that dwarf in his place, i agree! Would you like to help me play some truly nasty pranks on him?
Ladies! Why can you not be friendly to him? Yes, he made a mistake, but perhaps he is simply misunderstood. If you remember, Gimli and Legolas did not get along well when they first met.
*sigh* Yes, I've thought of them. But really, why can't it be a two sided effort?
But you are right... I suppose.
Right now neither side is making an effort. I truly believe that if we step up, so will he. At least try it.
No way! I don't make friends--or even try to--with people who kidnapp me! (Or dwarves who kidnapp me, either!)
*glares*
*stomps off muttering something about the regretable lack of paint*
PAINT?????? Sorry Lira, but this is one trick you will have to do on your own!!!
Unless Vila will do it with you.
*sniff*
unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any paint in the camp! hair dye, now, hmmm.....
oooh! i know! ribbons!
I don't know what you're planning, Lira...but I get the feeing I shall have to put a stop to it. Please, if you will not befriend the dwarf, at the very least, leave him alone!
