Lindir_Of_Rivendell: Heyooooooo!

Lord_Celeborn: Greetings Lindir!

Lady_Galadriel: 'ello!

Legolas_The_Elf: Heya!

Tauriel_The_Elf: Hi!

King_Of_Fabulous: Hello!

Lindir_Of_Rivendell: Wow, it's just us elves here today!

Lady_Galadriel: Yeah, isn't that strange?

Lord_Celeborn: It is indeed! Anyway, Thranduil, how have things been over in Mirkwood?

King_Of_Fabulous: They've been good, although the most embarrassing thing ever happened earlier...

Lord_Celeborn: What would that embarrassing thing be?

King_Of_Fabulous: I can't tell you, it's too embarrassing!

Legolas_The_Elf: Oh c'mon dad, you can't just say something embarrassing happened and then refuse to tell everybody!

Tauriel_The_Elf: Please tell us!

King_Of_Fabulous: Fine, but on one condition.

Lady_Galadriel: And what would that condition be?

King_Of_Fabulous: You never, ever tell anybody else!

Lindir_Of_Rivendell: That sounds fair enough. I won't tell anybody!

Legolas_The_Elf: Me neither.

Tauriel_The_Elf: Nor me!

Lady_Galadriel: I shan't!

Lord_Celeborn: I suppose I'll avoid telling anyone.

Legolas_The_Elf: We've all promised we won't tell anyone, now please tell me what it was!

King_Of_Fabulous: Well, me and my troops were marching to Dale the other day, and on the way we encountered two dwarves - Kili and Fili, I believe - who were transporting a whole banquet worth of food towards Erebor.

Tauriel_The_Elf: I was with you at the time, I don't remember it being particularly embarrassing...

 King_Of_Fabulous: I'm not done. Kili, for whatever reason, insisted on giving some of the food to us elves as they 'wouldn't eat it all' - although they ended up giving all of it to us. I was quite happy to take the food - the food they provided at the party a while back was lovely and I figured this would be too. Anyway, so when we came back to Mirkwood, all us elves had a massive feast, and some of the troops convinced me to go and say thank you to the dwarves.

Legolas_The_Elf: You? Thanking the dwarves? Did you do it?

King_Of_Fabulous: Yes. Me and a few troops (you can never be too safe around dwarves) headed over to Erebor to thank King Thorin, as we believed this would be the only way to prevent there from being some sort of massive war over a few baguettes. On the way there, however, we decided to take a short-cut - which involved trekking through a field full of cows. I was wearing my long robes, and I managed to trip over into a massive cow pat, and it completely ruined my outfit. I turned up, at Thorin's door, covered in cow poo, with my hair all messed up and mud smeared all over my face. The entire time we spoke he was trying not to burst into laughter at me. It was literally the most embarrassing moment in my entire life - and I'm Legolas's father, so that's saying a lot!

Legolas_The_Elf: Thanks dad.

Lord_Celeborn: Haha! That must have been rather embarrassing!

Lady_Galadriel: Yeah, I imagine it was!

Lindir_Of_Rivendell: I wish I'd been there to laugh at- I mean, to assist you. It must have been very awkward for you.

Tauriel_The_Elf: Wait, you told us not to tell anybody, but surely all the dwarves already know?

King_Of_Fabulous: Only Thorin, Fili and Kili saw me - the others were all in the forges - and they promised not to tell the others.

Legolas_The_Elf: Dad, believe me, all the dwarves will know about it. I bet those three told all the others as soon as they saw them.

Lord_Celeborn: Knowing them, half of middle earth probably know by now!

King_Of_Fabulous: ...

Sam_The_Potato_King: Oh, erm, hi Thranduil...

Legolas_The_Elf: Awkward!
