When: Post Fairy Tale Event
Where: The Market
Warnings: None at this time
Notes:


Now that he wasn't enchanted, Kili had decided that it was time to visit the market. When he'd explored the place with Tauriel he had not focused on necessities, wanting to show 'Rapunzel' the world instead. He had faint memories of the stalls and vendors and realized that since the market might change to something less hospitable, he should gather what supplies he could before they lost access to the place.

As he wandered the stalls, he tried not to garner too much attention, remembering the Head Librarian's warnings not to upset the locals. As promised, he had coin enough to pay for what he needed, and a bit more if he was careful. Browsing the stalls, he took note of food and other supplies that might improve their stay in their new home. Occasionally he would stop his search to look around to see if he recognized any of the others who now called the Library home.

"Hah!" Elladan grins at the thought. "Well it could be worse - you and I, we only known Thranduil. But Glorfindel used to tell us stories of Thingol, the Elvenking of Doriath long ago, and I know my sister loved the tale of Beren and Luthien, but Thingol, it seems, is even worse with the shinies."

"Tauriel?" He blinks at Kili and shakes his head. "No - I was referring to Glorfindel. He is Imladris' Captain, and so he is mine as well, you see."

"And people think dwarves are the only ones interested in shinies." His tone was meant to tease but Kili was surprised by the idea that the other elven kings were so interested treasures. He knew some of the stories but hearing an elf tell him that they were true... That was unexpected. "I have heard some of the stories, but are they just stories or are they true?" It was hard to tell what was true and what was fiction considering his kin's dislike of elves.

"Have you met her? She was a captain before she came here." That was not exactly true but Tauriel was the one who should explain her exile, not Kili. "I have not met Glorfindel. I don't think. Unless it was when I was bespelled."

"To be fair to Thingol and the dwarves, who were... Broadbeams, I believe, not Longbeards like you and your family - they were dealing with a Silmaril, which has historically developed a reputation for making otherwise sane people do increasingly insane things." Elladan allows.

He grins at Kili and drops the bombshell "Oh, they're true all right. Thingol is my great-great-great grandfather - Luthien and Beren and my ancestors. Why else do you think my father is called 'Half-elven'?"

He shakes his head. "No, I don't think so, but I don't spend as much time in Thranduil's Halls since Legolas grew up and it became Mirkwood, so I don't know everyone there. And trust me, if you met Glorfindel, you would remember him - he's kinda... noticeable."
