Guard. {A large dog moves obediently to stand at Thranduil's front door, sitting down only when his new Master gives him permission.}

You know who to keep out. {But to reinforce his point, he walks over and allows the dog to sniff a blanket.} He is not welcome.

{The dog gives a faint growl and Thranduil smiles.}

I do believe I have made a fine investment. {No, the dog was not cheap nor was he easy to find. But the effort and money will be worthwhile as long as he keeps up the dog's training.}

For once, I am looking forward to the day. {He strides into the kitchen and lifts up an apple, examining it. Then his attention shifts to those who might be watching.} Can you say likewise?

My fellow imPorts, can any of you explain to me why pumpkin spice is everywhere right now? And what is a Halloween?

when i arrived here they gave me a job and that was cool, but... don't think i'm really cut out for writing kids books. especially not about monsters.

[ just the word brings up way too many bad memories. ]

then again i don't know anything i'm actually suited for...i've never had a job. i don't have any special skills, or talent with people or anything...i can cook, and i like doing it, but that's nothing special. even college i only did for a little while.

[ he was pretty much a shut-in at a standstill in his life. if Strade hadn't come along, where would he even have ended up...? his parents had already been at the very end of their rope with putting up with him. He would have gone into the world with no abilities or experience, and now it's happening anyway. ]

what can you actually do when you're like that? if anyone could recommend something...

[ ooc; like i said in the cr meme, i'll be getting back to ren's intro!! i became very badly sick and then went out of town for a few days. ]
