Characters: Gandalf and Legolas
Setting: Aquarium, backdated to April 25
Format: Action
Summary: Legolas got killed during the Evil Meeting. Gandalf finds him and gets informed of his misadventure.
Warning: None.


[ Once per day, Gandalf allowed himself to leave the library and explore a bit the tower. Books were getting old after a while, and no matter how much he enjoyed reading them, walking a bit couldn’t hurt. Today it was the Aquarium. Strange place really, strange fishes, strange everything in fact. But all in all very relaxing. He lurked around for a while when he spotted his old friend, the Elvish Prince.

He smiled and walked to Legolas, having whatsoever no idea about what happened to the poor Elf. Yet. ]

Comments

[the_white_rider]

How are you feeling? Physically you are fine, but death is no light experience.

[ Mental is the problem. And he needs to know what this meeting was about but that'll come latter. ]

[keeps_count]

I'm as well as can be expected, not to worry, Gandalf.

[He was going to cover the meeting eventually. When he could think of a way to cover up the fact that he died. Woops, that plan got blown out of the sky.]

[the_white_rider]

Your earlier word lead to think otherwise. You mentioned desire to stay alive and especially loss of confidence.

[ Nothing escapes Gandalf's grasp. ]

[keeps_count]

Not my own confidence, that does not suffer. I underestimated my opponent and I will not make that mistake again. I do wish to stay alive, though.

[the_white_rider]

Indeed, you learn from your mistakes, but I advises you to be careful and to avoid unnecessary battles whenever possible... Some evil are too string even for us.

[ And now onto the point... ]

And about this meeting-

[keeps_count]

Not to worry. I won't make the mistake of seeking battles I cannot win on my own.

[A nod.]

The feeling alone was enough to know. Elves are sensitive to the feeling of an evil presence, and there was nothing but evil surrounding that place, in my last moments.

[the_white_rider]

This is worrying... Nothing but Evil you say?

[ That can't be good. ]

When and where did this happen?

[keeps_count]

[Legolas nods.] Nothing but.

The night before last, they all met on the thirteenth floor, in the cathedral.

[the_white_rider]

Cathedral, 13th Floor? I've gotten near to this floor on that day, if only I had know...

[ But then this means... Those he saw passing by the 12th and 14th Floor may potentially have been at the reunion. ]

Thank you, my friend for those precious information.

[keeps_count]

You couldn't have known, Gandalf. I hold no one responsible but myself.

[Legolas nods, just slightly.]

I'm glad that my death could have some use.

[the_white_rider]

And I hope this was the last one. I'm going to investigate the issue immediately, we shall meet soon again.

[keeps_count]

I should not be difficult to find.
