Adoration

I received this caption on the first picture from Tomeoric of the Academy. The shot was taken on the day that I met him during the Spring festival 2012. He caught me by surprise when he walked up and said he was a fan of danania.net. That put a huge smile on my face. :D I am so happy that people actually enjoy coming here and that I can share stories and guides with you! Tomeoric wrote briefly about the encounter at the link.

Speaking of encounters, I mentioned once before that Aegthil of Gondor had written about me.

 

Aegthil Here…

• “... Oh, oh, my love, wait for me, as I shall wait for thee, though all the world shall turn at last to dust, and all the stars shall descend into the darkness of oblivion, yet shall my love for thee shine like a beacon unto the very end of time.”

To which I replied,

• ““I create feelings in others that they themselves don’t understand, and blah, blah, blah, blah…” You do know you have Competition, yes?”

Then more Aegthil here…

• “…This all changed when Supergirl came into my life. Well, to be strictly honest, she hasn't yet come into my life, not as such, but she will when I accost her in the Dancing Goat tomorrow, present her with a bunch of flowers…”

Note, that he was a complete no-show… and was called out for it.

 

To which he responded…

• “It appears that we made an understandable error in the Dancing Goat the other day (anybody could have done it!), and ran off with the wrong young lady dressed in blue and red.”

He is an intriguing fellow. So, I sent the Supergirl Spies out to see what this minstrel does when he isn’t waxing poetically about me.

 

Aegthil plays in a band, and he looks nice in his coordinated attire. His bandmates all look like upstanding Middle Earth citizens. He is the one with the “shifty” eyes playing the oversized stringed instrument. I am thinking that someone else must have dressed him this morning judging by what the Spies showed me next...

When the performance ended… he slipped into something… well… oh my… lost for words. I am having trouble looking away though. I can't tell if it is more like watching a horrific accident and can't look away, or more like a moth that gravitates toward the flame mesmerized...

I went to consult a few others on the subject.

 

Legolas just smirked as we walked together through the forest. He is an elf of few words (but good with his arrow…). He was amused by the situation, stating that only a minstrel would wear such an outfit.

Aragorn seemed put out. I had told him once before that it would not work with a human when he was trying to woo me, so he moved on to another elf. Sensing he might have another shot, Aragorn has that dreamy look in his eyes again. Such is the human condition.

I tried to talk to my fellow Lorien elves, but Belegoth, reminding me that life's options abound, just tried to propose. Elves can be smitten sometimes too.

Tomrica of the Lonely Mountain Band was the one with the most sense… we just flew over and had a time at the Prancing Pony instead. Sigh...
