This is just a piece of narrative; up to now we only used quotes that were actually said by someone. (I can't remember where exactly on this 11 year old thread the rules were stated, but I've been playing this game almost since the start!)

[Pervinca Took]

I apologise, Guinevere. I didn't realise. I do read the starts of threads, but being more focused on the Cryptic/Password ones, I must have forgotten or misunderstood.

but you omitted "khazâd ai mênu"! ;)

Yes, I thought it would have been too much of a give away. ;) Your turn!

I wish old Gandalf was here, or somebody. Why am I left all alone to make up my mind? I'm sure to go wrong.
That would be Sam.

[Guinevere]

That's it, Aganzir, well done!:)

I feel so much with Sam – his despair, the terrible weight of the choice he had to make, his reluctance to make up his mind resonate deeply with me.
What also strikes me in Sam’s inner debates is how he is so humble and not sure of himself, always doubting his own abilities.
I wonder if that is because his father has called him too often a “ninnyhammer“ etc. in his childhood? ;)

[Aganzir]

Yes, poor Sam!

The guard stepped back and looked with amazement on Aragorn. 'It seems that you are come on the wings of song out of the forgotten days,' he said. 'It shall be, lord, as you command.'It seemed that it was "it seems that" and everything seemed to come on the wings of song from there, from King of the Golden Hall.

[Aganzir]

That was quick! Your turn, mhagain. :)
