Captain Ecthelion is working away in his office in the Guard House. If you have any business with the Guard, now's a good time to catch him.

(open to anyone who wants to play with Lio, or needs something that the Guards can help with!)

*walks in* Hello. I'm Boromir, Captain of the White Tower of Gondor...and...*grins wryly* since I am no longer IN Gondor, I wanted to offer my skills to you. As a guard.

[ecthelion_of_gondolin]

*smiles and extends a hand in greeting* Welcome! I'm Ecthelion, Lord of the Fountain, and Captain of the Guard of Gondolin. It's a pleasure to meet you. Sit. We'll talk about where you fit in.

[boromir_of_gondor]

*takes a seat* I suppose you have people coming in from all over. Elves, most likely, but men, too. I may not be as tall or strong as an Elf, but I more than make up for any physical shortcomings with an excellent analytical mind and an ability to strategize. I led my father's guard for several years before I arrived here.

*picks up a pen and starts writing all this down* I hope you don't mind that I'm taking notes. This is all excellent. You won't be the first human who has joined the Guard, and we definitely could use someone with experience. Actually, you sound VERY experienced.

[boromir_of_gondor]

*nods* My friend Dred is a guard and his f-...and Theo is also a guard. I knew them both in my old life in Gondor.

I'm also trained in archery, swordfighting and hand-to-hand combat. My riding skills are second to none. I will serve in any way you see fit. If I cannot protect Gondor, I want to protect Gondolin.

(love the icon :D)

[ecthelion_of_gondolin]

Oh good, you already know Theodred and Theoden. *writing all this down* We'll need to get you a horse, if you haven't one already. I'd like to get you on duty right away. We've got a unit doing sword training this afternoon, if you can jon them. And tomorrow morning, we have a patrol going out to the city walls. I'd like you to try you hand at a few things, so we can see where you fit best. *thoughtfully* If things work out, I'd like to put you in charge of a few units - I need the help, for sure.

Re: (love the icon :D)

[boromir_of_gondor]

*smiles* I have my own horse, Aenil. Arkano gave it to me, and she seems to be suited to guard duty.

I'll join the unit for training this afternoon and will make plans to be here early tomorrow morning. *stands* I appreciate the opportunity...and I won't let you down. *feels pleased with how that went*

*wakes up and decides to walk around the palace* I wonder if Turgon is around... *ends up going out of the Tower and into the Guard House* Hello?

[ecthelion_of_gondolin]

*my, it's busy today* Come in!

[elladan]

Hi... Are you Ecthelion? Glorfindel used to tell me about you.

[ecthelion_of_gondolin]

*smiles* I am! You know Glorfindel? He hasn't been in the city in months - off on a special errand for the King. But you know him?

[elladan]

*smiles too* Well met, Ecthelion. I am Elladan Elrondion, and I know Glorfindel, but he wouldn't know me in this moment. I met him in my father's house, in the Third Age. He lived there with us.

[ecthelion_of_gondolin]

Well met, indeed. So you're one from the future, AND you know Glorfindel in that time? Excellent! I hope you're settling in here - I know it must be very disorienting to find yourself so far from home and family.

*thinks; has heard this name before*

Elladan? I think Celegorm mentioned that you wanted to join a hunting party?

[elladan]

It is, but for some reason I got dragged back to Tirion and now I am back here again. I am Turgon's great grandson too, though he's too young to have a great grandson. It would be nice to meet Glorfindel again, I mean, you know...

*pauses* I would very much like to go with the hunting party. I'm not used to be inside city walls. Celegorm said I could go with him. Are you coming too?

[ecthelion_of_gondolin]

Oh, there AND back! *frowns, this is the first time he's heard of something like this happening* I didn't know that could happen. I hope it was not too hard on you.

*nods* Celegorm and I are going to go out first and scout some hunting grounds, and then we will take a larger party out, for hunting for the Festival coming up. I'll make sure you're added to the party.

[elladan]

It wasn't... I saw my twin, and my parents. I suppose there is a reason why I am here. Grandfather doesn't seem to think so but I cannot accept random explanations.

*nods* All right. That works for me. I will be busy finding a place for myself. I can't live in a palace with my great grandsire. I'm too old for that *grins*

[ecthelion_of_gondolin]

Hmmm, interesting. I'd like to think that everyone has a reason to be here, now that you say it.

Have you been to the apartments yet? Lots of new arrivals there, and I'm sure there is room for you. If not, Turu will make sure you have a house ... *rummages around on his desk* Here's a list of a few free properties, just let him know if there's one you like.

[elladan]

Oh, thank you for this! I have to talk to him before I leave, but this will help me to find a proper place.

*smiles* I will leave you to your work now. *pauses* I'd like to be a guard too, if that's okay. I spent most of my time in the wild with my twin, hunting Orcs down. I am very good with a sword, and I know a little about healing too.

[ecthelion_of_gondolin]

You're welcome! And you would be more than welcome as a Guard! We need all the help we can get. Let me know when you're ready to join us.

[elladan]

Thank you. As soon as I clear a few things up I will be back here to apply to the job properly. Good-bye, Ecthelion.
