"Four Years, that's not too long. I packed my bags full of things from Lórien last time we visited Lórien, I asked the trees to give me something very filling and nutritious so I'd grow up big and strong. And I have been working on a spell to catch fish and one to sleep in trees without falling out and I didn't leave until I had them both working."

"And fish. I can fish."

"If you were near fish. If you got lost in a desert or something poisoned the water or you couldn't find any fish or it just turned out fish alone weren't going to be nutritious enough for you..."

"Then I'd have to visit here occasionally."

Permalink

"And how were you expecting that to go?"

Permalink

"And they'd yell. And I'd let them. Because when I was tired of it I could leave again."

Permalink

"Why'd you take me back?"
