I am so happy to be back behind my bar, with my Alistair and my friends. Tavern regulars, you're all getting hugs when you come in. Deal with it.

[Filtered to Thedas]
And speaking of friends, we need a Wicked Grace night, promptly. Non-Thedosian friends and lovers welcome, of course, but I want to celebrate being back together, and congratulate all of you who beat back the goblins on a job well done.

	Wonderful! [Kili] How is your lady doing since her return? And your uncle? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They were wed. Tauriel's angry, I haven't spoken to my uncle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We were all dropped into foreign lives and our minds wiped clean of everything we knew. That is the sort of thing that will make people angry. I'm not particularly pleased myself, truth be told. I was married there as well, to a man I'd barely spoken to here. I don't have anything productive to do with anger at the moment, though, so I'm setting it aside for the time being. As long as steps are taken to make sure this doesn't happen again, I'll be happy.

	I think it's going to ruin any chance I had at having my family together. ~~She said elves~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wait, do you mean that they are angry with each other over this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kili/Kallian sonofdurin 2016-04-18 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	I believe so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Surely they must know that neither of them is capable of the magic that caused this mess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kili/Kallian sonofdurin 2016-04-18 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, well, I'm not sure how much that mattered when they discovered they were married to someone they hated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kili/Kallian cityelfwarden 2016-04-18 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	And blind rage at whomever happens to be nearby is always so very useful. Ugh. I'm sorry you have to deal with this, Kili. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kili/Kallian sonofdurin 2016-04-18 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know what to do. We had only just spoken of how elves mate for life, and now this. And I know it was not her fault, but It's stupid, never mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kili/Kallian cityelfwarden 2016-04-18 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	How you feel isn't stupid, and it's all right to talk about it. What may make you feel better, though, is that she wasn't an elf there. Neither was I. We were all human, with no recollection that we had ever been anything else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kili/Kallian sonofdurin 2016-04-18 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	That means she forgot me. That means I was nothing to either of them because I didn't exist. I don't know if that's any better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

When it comes to magic like this, it isn't a matter of forgetting, at least not as we know forgetting. We all had our minds wiped clean against our will, and new thoughts and feelings that we didn't want shoved into the empty space. The one thing that all of us there had in common was that all the things that matter most to us were taken away. Our selves and our lives were stolen from us, including the people we love. You didn't exist there because we were cursed. Tauriel would never forget you, just as I would never forget Alistair. For the weeks we were gone, we were made into other people who never knew you, and if she is anything like me, she was horrified when she came back and realized what happened. None of this means that you don't matter to her, or to Thorin.

	None of that means this is going to get any better, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kili/Kallian cityelfwarden 2016-04-18 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	No, it doesn't. But it doesn't mean it won't either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not sure how they're ever going to tolerate each other after this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kili/Kallian cityelfwarden 2016-04-18 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	Remember we have all only been back a day. Give them time to think and deal with what they've been through. People usually handle things better, given time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Most people are not~~ I hope we can use this experience to make sure we are not driven further apart. ~~But~~ All I ever wanted was to have my family together. None of this is fair. How is the baby? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kili/Kallian cityelfwarden 2016-04-18 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	It's not fair at all, that much is true. But we are all alive, and therefore it could certainly be worse. As long as we breathe, we have hope. The healers say there aren't any signs that she was hurt by a bit of extra world-hopping. It looks like we'll be just fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They got rid of rationing while you were gone. Now I'm guessing it'll go back to normal and I'll have to sober up again. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cityelfwarden 2016-04-18 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	Probably, yes, what with more people being back to drink. Don't worry, Haymitch, I'm sure you'll manage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
