Okay, time to lighten the mood.

[Because after all this shit that's happened, she needs to smile. She needs something, anything, to take her mind off all of this and for a second, remember that being alive is good, and right.

And maybe to remember a simpler time.]


I've got this book of puns, right? Well, back in the day, it kinda used to be my thing. And I figure you guys could use this. Or groan, whatever.

Here goes.

A clown held the door open for me the other day.
I thought it was a nice jester.

The butcher backed up into the meat grinder.
He got a little behind in his work.

Yesterday I accidentally swallowed some food coloring.
The doctor says I'm okay, but I feel like I've dyed a little inside.

Pffft.

The man who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran.

[That one actually makes her laugh out loud.]

Hm, but there are so many to choose from! [ he teases back ] Great and small, terrible and beautiful and wonderful, tales of love and hate, of joy and sorrow.

Ah, but my favourite... my favourite I think is one of two - the tale of Frodo of Nine Fingers and the Ring of Doom, or the Lay of Leithian, which would be rendered "Release from Bondage" in the common tongue.

[ that gets another laugh - bright and pealing and his shadows lift ]

Ah, ercasse! What Lord Iorhael would think of his tale being thought of that way! Well, he might not mind - Frodo had a good sense of humor, they say, before the Ring tore it out of him. His tale is one of the final defeat of the Enemy of the time, of the small and seemingly weak overcoming the very great and seemingly unassailable. The Lay on the other hand, is a love story - perhaps the greatest one we have, for those in it dared the very depths of Hell and conquered Death itself.

[ he can't help it, gloomy is his default expression (smiling takes too many muscles) ]

[ he smiles and tips his head in acknowledgement, settling the harp on his lap ]


Frodo and the Ring it is, then.

[ insert Lord of the Rings in song form in here everyone already knows this story right? ]
