[ Yeah, she could learn it. ]

Maybe.

[ What he says makes sense, of course, though she can't help but suspect the last bit is more for her own benefit than his, though she is touched. He can't see her but her lips do curve in a quiet smile for a second before fading back into something more grave. ]

You think they'd come at us again so soon after? D'you know if any of their people were stuck on our end? You two can't possibly manage a few weeks alone, special or not.

It's definitely possible. They had to have others who didn't come in the initial attack, and from what I know about what our forces did, they relied on stealth for the most part -- they likely had fewer injuries.

[ So yes. He thinks they might. He knows he would. ]

And no, I don't -- but Thranduil's found a unicorn, so I think we'll be okay.

[ Man, you're lucky she's used to unicorns. ]

Just treat it well. Males can be sort of aggressive and if its female, best be sure she hasn't got any foals around since they don't like boys very much. Er, at least back home.

Maybe I'll go have a poke around the castle, then...

Don't worry, neither of us are planning on pissing off the unicorn -- and he's an elf, I don't think they do animal cruelty.

[ Unicorns he can't even. ]

I'm sure there's plenty to do. And if you do want to get out of there, most of the horses were taken, but some could've escaped and be out in the forest.

I'll sort through what I've missed, maybe eat. Probably should eat.

[ She exhales loudly, rubbing the heels of her palms over her eyes. ]

You've got bigger things to fuss over, like right now. If I worried you, I meant it, John; I'm sorry.

Yeah, eating would be good. Drink a lot of water, too.

[ Not that it had looked as though she was becoming at all malnourished or dehydrated, but better safe than sorry. ]

I know. And I know you couldn't help it.

Call me if you need anything, okay?

You're starting to sound like my brothers.

[ Probably a good thing, tbh. She never listens. ]

Old habits.

Old habits that make missing home easier.

Better than forgetting it.

I'd never forget it.

And if any of my family turned up here, I'll let them know you've hovered just like them.

Don't think I'll stop just because they show up, either.

[ She huffs out a soft breath, touched and flustered and amused. ]

Why?

[ Well, that's... a loaded question. ]

We get along all right, don't we?

I trust you.

There's your answer.

It actually isn't, but you sound busy so I'll just let it go for now.

[ he's not good with words Ginny, cut him some slack ]

I'll try and be back as soon as I can.

[ NO. no jk she gets it. you big softie. ]

What? [ She laughs. ] Please, don't worry about me.

[ ;; ]

I'll worry if I want.

[ Not that he wants, but. ]

You'll get grey hairs and I won't be responsible for that. Or for you getting distracted.

I'd get grey hairs anyway.

Because you're charging out of one thing and straight into another, from the sound of it.

In this case, it's worth it.

I doubt you'd ever do something that wasn't.

[ She pauses, looking around from where she's still sitting on the floor. ]

Go on, then. You can call me, too, if you ever want to. Be safe.
