{One cannot hunt the great Evils of the cities unendingly. Even Elves need a rest now and then and Thranduil thinks, perhaps, his is well-earned. His golden hair is damp from a hot soak and he is wearing a silk bathrobe.}

I grow weary of facing crime. {As well as completing the duties of his job - of which partially explain why he is attired as such.} Is there any reward for our acts of heroism or are we expected to do them out of the goodness of our hearts?

{He lays himself down on a sofa, stretching out luxuriously.}

Furthermore, I suppose I must impart some of the finer secrets of Dorwinion wine if I am to enjoy another glass of it. The wine humans offer is...subpar at best.

{To enforce that point, he lifts up a half-drunk glass, swirling the contents.}

I feel nothing even after drinking a bottle.

Humans can barely tolerate their own wine. I've seen a human drunk, they throw up green stuff.

[He's had experience now.]

You're pretty but I have to say you just don't have the ass Feanor did, which is really too bad.

[tauraran]

{Thanks for that image. Thranduil sets down his glass, grimacing.}

You should not expect them to have the same tolerance.

{Or any!}

Do I want to know how you can come to that conclusion?

[belegurth]

Yeah, I learned that.

[sorry, Anakin.]

Well, I mean, it's not like that robe leaves too much to the imagination even if I can't get the best view. And Feanor, well, let's just say that was a first hand experience.

[tauraran]

Do not forget it lest you desire to murder one of them.

{Men like their drink too much. Not that he can really talk.}

I need more wine before I hear you speak of any part of that Elf! {Or any part of him for that matter.} I think it makes perfect sense that you two were... {He waves his hand airily.} He was exceptionally foolish.

You're already my hero.

[ bitching about weak wine during a treat yo' self day? yes, pls. ]

{He'll bitch about anything anywhere. He has that sort of charm.}

May I ask why?

[aggressiveapathy]

For just being you. Never stop.

And share some of that super wine.

[h2no]

This is the weirdest proposition I've ever seen.

[tauraran]

Proposition?

Re: video

[h2no]

This is a video booty call, right?

[or an impressive misfire.]

They don't give us monetary compensation, but imPorts have many perks that exist due to their fame among the population. But no, they won't pay you for helping them.

[video]

[tauraran]

I had fame enough; it does nothing for me. Monetary gain too would be empty in comparison of what I have been forced to leave behind. Wine, however, would be acceptable compensation if it is Dorwinion.

[video]

[ghoulking]

I'm sure certain bars would gladly offer imPorts drinks. They usually do that.

[Demons, but this man is too pretty for his own good. He's prettier than she is!]

Maybe you should come to my bar! The place seems to have a mind of its own. Alcohol just keeps... appearing.

[Not that she'll complain, of course. It makes running her business so much easier.]

[video]

[tauraran]

{This is why he is cosmetics model. Go on, just imagine him with some eyeliner or mascara.}

Have you found any wine that is too strong for humans to drink?

[video]

[glassfall]

[So pretty.]

Several. Do you have a particular vintage in mind?

[She still wants to try some of these, ngl.]

[morethan084]

Yeah. That's usually how it works around here.

[GQ has nothing on this guy. Eyebrow raising when he mentions being able to down a whole bottle of 'human wine' without feeling anything.]

Dorwinion? Is that where you're from?

[tauraran]

I was born in Doriath. I first partook of the wine there, but, currently, it has to be brewed elsewhere. {Because Doriath no longer exists.}

[morethan084]

Can't say I've heard of Doriath before, but I'm guessing it's not on Earth. Well, my version of Earth anyway.

[Not to mention the ears. Which she is totally not staring at.]

Think you might be able to make that wine here? I'm sure you'd make a killing off that stuff.

[juniberries]

Do you not wish to help people?

video;

[tauraran]

For free? No.

[juniberries]

So were you a mercenary before being brought here?

[because Honestly]

I find there is always something to be gained from helping people, even if it's simply in knowing that you've done a good thing for someone in need.

[fehus]

Whoah, hey.

[he looks hype about something, then seems to get himself a little under control]

Uh, sweet bathrobe. Sorry about your buzz, I guess.

video

[tauraran]

One should be comfortable in their home, should they not?

{This is a lounging robe, excuse you.}

Buzz?

Re: video

[fehus]

Not being able to get drunk, I mean. I didn't know elves had a higher alcohol tolerance. The only one I hang with doesn't drink.
