during the fear dog event!

[baseborne]

[Jon is on a mission!! To check up on the baby dwarves. He totally hopes he's got the right locket number.]

My lord, Kili?

[kilimanjaro]

[Woah, who is this?

And what is this my lord stuff? Kili's baffled, to say the least.]

Just Kili is fine.

[baseborne]

As you wish. The Elvenking asked [demanded] that I see if you are yet untouched by the dangers that beset Cothromach in these days. [Jon thought it better just to do so than to remind Thranduil that he didn't actually have any dominion over him. Easier just to not piss kings off wherever possible, in his experience.] I am Jon Snow, Captain of the Guard here.

[kilimanjaro]

Thranduil? [The Elvenking is full of surprises. Kili is caught by surprise before he collects himself.]

I ah...My kin and I are still alive, if that's what he's asking. [Kili smiles wryly.] Forgive my surprise... Before coming here, My kind and his were not exactly allies, and now he seems very...friendly. The surprise hasn't quite worn off.

[baseborne]

[Jon looks pretty surprised in return. Although maybe that explained why he didn't just check on the dwarves himself.] He seemed... genuinely concerned.

I will tell him that you remain unharmed, but be careful, my l-- [wait] --Kili. The creatures seem to seek after shard-bearers, and have vexed the remaining gates more times than I care to think on.

[kilimanjaro]

[Kili nods in agreement.]

Aye, we've encountered them before, though we've been lucky enough to remain mostly unscathed.

[Physically, anyway. There's a small smile to hear about the Elvenking's concern, surprising as it is, and Kili finds he's...rather warmed by it.]

Would you thank the Elvenking for his concern from my brother and I?

[baseborne]

[Jon gives a brisk nod, pleased that he doesn't have to dispense of any bad news.]

I will. And if you or your brother find yourselves in danger, you need only tell me. I'm a fair hand with my blade, and I've some wolves besides. [Wolves literally taller than Kili.]

[kilimanjaro]

[He nods as well, pleased with this development. Things might actually be looking up.] Thank you. Master Jon, you said?

[Surnames are weird.]

[baseborne]

[Since Kili forwent his proffered title earlier:] Just Jon is fine, as well.

[kilimanjaro]

Jon then. [He gives him a smile.] Thank you. I appreciate it.
