*looks at you, brows raised, visibly impressed* What, seriously? You hitchhike places? *weighs the possible dangers of this which are pretty nil according to his teenaged brain with the Cool Rebel factor* That is awesome. You passsed up the creepy-looking truckers and stuff, right? Till you got some old granddad in a station wagon?
*drops his duffel next to his feet for the moment, swinging his arms to stretch them out a little* Menegroth's palace is really cool. It's all underground, right, so there's no sky. I asked my grandma what would happen if somebody forgot to turn the lights up in the morning, and she said— *stops just short of repeating Melian's (joking?) assertion that Thingol would have the tech(s) responsible shot* —she sa-aid they'd all get to sleep in. So what's Gondolin like?
