( under the night sky )

[absurdities]

 

ＳＴＡＲＧＡＺＩＮＧ - whether you're on a picnic blanket in a field, laying on the beach, or in the bed of a truck, you're with someone you care about and you're looking at the stars.

ＣＡＭＰＦＩＲＥ - camping is the most fun when you're with someone else. roasting marshmallows, telling stories. nature's got it goin' on.

ＰＡＲＫＩＮＧ - you're at the lover's lane, parked at the peak overlooking the city, it's just you and someone else in the car. maybe it's time to steam up the glass or hey, you guys can just talk if you want.

ＦＩＲＥＷＯＲＫＳ - maybe it is the fourth of july, the new year, or just because, but there's fireworks shooting off and they're magical. or scary. it depends on what floats your boat.

ＬＡＴＥ ＮＩＧＨＴ ＳＷＩＭ - maybe you're at the beach or in the backyard pool or at the lake, maybe you're going to skinny dip or maybe you'll 'fall' in with all your clothes. either way, swimming at night is pretty much always fun.

ＳＫＹ ＬＡＮＴＥＲＮＳ - perhaps you've lost someone dear and you want to do something to remember them by, maybe you're making a wish for the future.

[Beleg had not parents or siblings but he understood families.]

Now that the shadow has passed, all of Arda will flourish, or finally have the chance to.

[theywhowait]

That is my firm hope, aye! What joy for the children born in this blessed time, to grow up in a world far different to ours, without threat of looming shadow! I do not dare to hope for a lasting peace, but for a little while, at least!

[beleg]

A lasting piece you shall have I think, for King Elessar intends no less for those within his rule. He will be a good King for all.

[theywhowait]

I pray that it be so. [ Faramir nods ] Elessar is a good and wise king, but not even the greatest of kings can hold the peace if others stir to war - but the Haradhri ambassador seems as keen as we for peace, so we may yet have time enow before the drugs of war sound again.

[beleg]

The Haradri and others like them have long lived under the Shadow. Perhaps it will be your people who will teach them how to live under the Light again.

[theywhowait]

That is our hope as well. [ Faramir nods ] If the negotiations go well, perhaps we may be able to send emissaries of our own! I would like to see their lands, although I fancy my lady might disagree.

[beleg]

[Beleg hums and looks thoughtfully back at the sky. His duties and the darkening Shadow had kept him north all this time but now that the Shadow was gone he might be able to travel again and see old lands he's not seen in an age again.] It has been long since I have visited fair Ithilien and even longer since I have gone down into Far Harad. If there is peace now....

[He smiles and shakes his head.] No lady would wish their lord away for months, just as no lord will wish to be parted from their lady for so long.

[ Faramir grins, obviously hopelessly enamoured ]

Say rather that I think that milady might skin me alive if I dared to leave on such a journey without her! She is a firey one, is my Eowyn - and a little overprotective of me, I sometimes think - but if I was to go, I dare not even countenance leaving her behind!

[beleg]

[Beleg looks amused at the devoted look on Faramir's face. It reminded him or someone else, someone long gone, more than 2 Ages ago. Another mortal.]

And has she cause to be protective of you, my friend?

[theywhowait]

[ A sheepish shrug ]

Well I do not think so, but she would claim that left to my own devises I would swiftly become hopelessly ensnared in the library stacks, and perhaps there is some truth to that.

[ Also there's the whole. 'You almost got burnt to death by your dad' thing, but neither of them talk about that ]
