Bby Aragorn: *wondering through the halls of Imlardis*
Rando elf 1: ugh, i can’t believe that savage is visiting again. You’d think that our lords would have better taste.
Rando elf 2: i’ll say! And i can’t believe they allow him to be near Lady Arwen! Unsupervised at that! He’s already taught her to fight, who knows how else he’ll corrupt her.
Elf 1: truelly the silvans are such a barbaric lot, not only do they have everyone fight, but they scorn and ignore the Ainur, our holy gods who represent the light!
Elf 2: we can only hope that that brute Legolas *spits the name* doesn’t further influence our lord and his family with his dark ways.
Bby Aragorn: *frowning at what he’s overhearing*
Bby Aragorn: *suddenly lifted into the air*
Legolas, setting Aragorn on his hip: hey there, Aragorn! Have you been good? Caused any chaos lately?
Bby Aragorn: *cheers* Las! I have been a super good boy! Though i might have stolen some cookies here and there... but ‘Lladan and ‘Rohir helped me!
Legolas: *carrying bby aragron away* that’s good! And if you get in trouble, just blame it on the twins, that’s what i do.
Bby Aragorn: *nods with a pleased expression*
Bby Aragorn:
Bby Aragorn: hey, Las?
Legolas: yes?
Bby Aragorn: what’s a sav-savge?
Legolas:... a savage?
Bby Aragorn: mhmm! Or “barbiac”
Legolas: Barbaric. Where did you here those words?
Bby Aragron: just now! I over heard some elves talking about you and they used those words. They also called you a brute! I don’t think they were being very nice.
Legolas: well, you’d be right, kiddo. Those aren’t nice words to use.
Bby Aragorn: then why do they use them?
Legolas: bc there are a lot of light elves that don’t like dark elves, such as myself. They don’t think we’re good enough, “elf” enough, in a way.
Bby Aragorn: but... you are an elf?
Legolas: i very much am, but some elves don’t think that my people qualify.
Bby Aragorn: well that’s stupid.
Legolas: you can say that again.
Bby Aragorn: what’s a light elf? Or a dark elf?
Legolas: well, “light” and “dark” are basically the way the elves are divided in those who don’t believe in the Valar, and those who do believe in the Valar. There are a few more distinctions, but that’s the gist of it. I, myself, along with my people and the avari, are all considered “dark elves” because we don’t believe in the valar. The elves who live here, such as the Noldor and the Sindar, do believe in the Valar.
Bby Aragorn: so those elves don’t like you bc you don’t believe in the same things they do?
Legolas: well, that, and bc they have a superiority complex.
Bby Aragorn: well that’s stupid. All of it is stupid. Those are stupid things to do for stupid reasons!
Legolas: yes, so don’t be mean to someone just because they’re different from you, ok? After all, like you said, it’s a pretty stupid reason to be mean.
Bby Aragorn: *nodding determinatly* when i grow up, i’m gonna make sure people stop being mean to each other bc they’re different! That way i’ll be surrounded by not stupid people. And anyone who is mean to someone else bc they are different will be called a stupid poopy-head!
Legolas: *laughs* you do that! I look forward to it.
