On no good business (video)

[mushroomthief]

[one of the few, if vague, things that Frodo remembers from his time before in Exsilium is how to work the tablet. The hobbit on the video is a tween, voice a bit higher than before and a mischievous look to his eyes.

He's leaned down, as if forming a conspiracy with all those on the network; whispering (loudly still) with possible partners in crime, if you will]

Has anyone got a list of what the kitchens around here serve? Or what times they find themselves the busiest? This is very important!

[He nods.] I was raised amongst the Elves of Imladris, known to most as "Rivendell".

[Aragorn honestly has endless stories about his childhood in Rivendell. So Frodo doesn't have to worry about him ever speaking about Mordor. Even he's not fond of such tales.]

It is. [The ranger falls silent for a moment.] It truly is.

[He perks up a bit once Frodo surprises him with an expected question.]

You wish to learn how to wield a sword?

[Aragorn can't help but chuckle.]

Perhaps another day, Frodo. I do believe you're more interested in food than swordsmanship today.

Rivendell! You lived there? [this Man only gets more interesting each moment. Frodo bursts out with his excitement] Bilbo was there once, you know!

Yes I do. I've practiced with branches and sticks loads of time, I'm not bad.

[Aw. He's willing to wait on food for a little even. Still, his stomach has growled, and so loudly the tablet catches the sound.]

Aw. Well. I guess you're right.

Re: ( ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ )

[thelastking]

Yes, I remember you mentioning the adventures of your uncle once before.

[It's almost a shame that Frodo doesn't recall anything from their time together before, but at least the hobbit is free from the taint of the Ring.

...Wait.]

Frodo? [His tone turns more serious now.] Is it still in your possession?

Re: ( ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ )

[mushroomthief]

[Frodo looks the slightest bit crestfallen, he did so want any excuse to talk about Bilbo's grand adventure. It's his favorite, after all.]

What is?

[The Ring hangs around his neck still, just as his clothes had stayed, but remained too large for him. he's rolled up the sleeves and breeches.]

Re: ( ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ )

[thelastking]

..It is.

[That faint glimmer of gold caught his attention almost immediately. It would seem that the halfling is still in possession of the One Ring after all.

This could prove to be very dangerous.]

Where are you? We must meet soon.

[That is no idle trinket around the youth's neck. It isn't wise leaving Frodo with the Ring.]

Re: ( ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ )

[mushroomthief]

Are all Big Folk as mysterious as you?

[a chance to meet this Man, Frodo leaps at it]

There's a lot of snow in the courtyard, I'm going out there now to have a good look at it.

[He's going to go look for food, but only after he's done with the snow. The food will be there, the snow won't be for long]

Re: ( ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ )

[thelastking]

[That question made him chuckle, but he didn't answer. There's a reason for all the cloak and dagger nonsense, a reason he refuses to voice now.]

The courtyard? Hm, I suppose that would do.

[As much as he dislikes the bitter chill of winter, Aragorn decides to meet the youth out there.]

I'll be waiting.

Re: ( ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ )

[mushroomthief]

All right, I'll see you there!

[and he seems much less concerned than Aragorn. With that, he turns off the tablet]
