[Thranduil is sitting stiffly against a tree almost like it's his own throne. Most people who've seen him have seen him grumpy. He is not grumpy now. He is pissed.]

In all things I have tried to show patience. [His voice is dripping with ice.] I have lent my aid and resources to this ship, I have offered my hospitality and friendship and asked nothing in return, and what has happened? I have been robbed.

[His lip curls in a slight snarl.]

One of you took from me a precious necklace, a gift to me from a friend I am unlikely to see again. It is silver with pearls and diamonds and was wrapped in a cloth and hidden from sight. If you return it to me, I will be merciful and no charges will be pressed. If you do not, I have many eyes aboard this ship. It will be found.

[The feed cuts off.]

Is Legolas with you?

[elvenking]

Not presently. Doubtless he will be, soon.

[wolfchild]

I can keep you company.

[elvenking]

I do not need company. [He bites his tongue, breathes in deep, and lets it out. Arya was just being very sweet to him.]

I am angry, child. I am very poor company when I am angry.

[wolfchild]

I am poor company all the time, but you still wish to spend time with me.

[ but she won't force the matter. ]

I hope you find your necklace.

NOT HERE

[ She's deep in the trees, clearing brush; maybe that's a good thing, considering Thranduil's current mood. ]

There's literally no point on this ship for someone to steal something like that except to be a dickbag. I'll keep my eyes peeled. [ And her ears. And her nose. And- you get the drift. ]

Bilbo's necklace?

[Fili knows if he says nothing, he will be found out. But it is his.]

If I see it, I shall contact you.

[elvenking]

I will find it.

[A dismissive wave of his hand.]

I know.

Have you got a more detailed description?
Or an image.

[elvenking]

I think there are not many such necklaces aboard this ship. If you find one, show it me and I will tell you.

[elvenking]

Thank you.

[There is some guilt within him; but it is drowned out by whatever has ahold of him. So instead, he just nods.]

Of course.

[puppydogeyes]

You don't know what people have from home.
What other people left them.
I'm not getting my team to raid everyone for necklaces so you can do a line-up.
Is it a chain? A choker? Long or short? Pendant? Multiple charms?

[elvenking]

I will draw it for you. Will that be sufficient?

[puppydogeyes]

Yes.

[A split-second later:]

Thank you.

[What are manners, but she's trying.]

[elvenking]

[It's a moment before he replies. No use in taking out his anger on someone helping him.]

Nay. It is I who should thank you, and I do.

[tumbleweeds]

Of course.

We'll find it.

[voice, locked]

[jurisimpudent]

Good day. Is there anyone who has taken note of the necklace? Commented upon it in any way?

[voice, locked]

[elvenking]

Nay, none. Or none I do not already trust.

[Fili technically has, but...

...no don't make him wonder if Fili did it. He'll go crazy.]

[voice, locked]

[jurisimpudent]

You say it was hidden away. Have you ever shown it to anyone?
