[ it's been a considerably long time since frodo made any contact with the network. times before he asked for companions, questions on stories, but instead there is silence. it's no secret he's kept much to him self in the passing months. even to those he'd call friend.

there's no denying that the person on the screen is haggard, shadows beneath his eyes and overall looking far from well. when he speaks it's distant, as if not quite present. frodo knows the risk, especially with him on board. his voice is like brittle paper. ]

I know some of you have magic. I'd like to know..

[it seems as if even coming to thoughts is difficult. a pause. ]

Is there any magic on this ship capable of weakening something else? Making it less potent -- anything that could restrain an object even a little..

[ wearily: ]

Should you know anything, anything at all .. I'd like to discuss it. Privately.

Ah, I know King Thranduil, and I know King Elessar by another name, he has been a faithful ally and friend to me.

[ he smiles a bit more easily at that ]
And yes, dwarves. They traveled with my Uncle, you see. They're some of the bravest people I've ever met.

[ Oh well. EITHER WAY.... ]

Dwarves are a very brave people. I am glad to hear that they are your allies, however. Ah... do you know Elrond and Arta-- ah, Galadriel as well, then?

Indeed they are, fortunate am I, to have them.

[ a polite pause, he is in the presence of yet another story made flesh after all. one he avidly read, despaired with and even as the end came, hoped for a better one. ]

Lord Elrond and the Lady Galadriel have helped me more than I can ever hope to repay.
