The Hobbit roleplay

*smiles, looking over your shoulder* I don't think we need to search any longer

*Looks behind and sees a black horse, the saddle has the emblem of Arkánfar imprinted into it. The horse is carrying a variety of bags with a bow and quiver attached to one side, and a hold for a spear on the other. Mardat dismounts and walks to his horse, opening the bag, finding an unusual vial and throwing it to you*

*Catches it* Thank you. I am glad you have found each other again

Lead me on to Rivendell. I do not know the way. We could use the rest now.

*Smiles* It is half a days ride North. Come.

*Follows closely behind*

I am unaware of the path, do not mind me being close... I do not know how safe these roads are.

*smiles* Don't worry, I'll look after you

*Feels at ease and increases the distance between by a small amount*

These roads... where... where do they lead?

we'll follow the river, it will lead us directly to Rivendell

Very well... are there... more troubles along these roads?

I hope not. *frowns* What's wrong?

You forget us Haradrim are not entirely trusted in these parts.

I do not forget, but I will protect you, you have my word!

I should be competent enough to fight what comes for me. I am just afraid I will have to do it.

Why are you afraid?

My people have been at war with yours previously to protect our homeland and I do fear, in future that we will cross paths again.

You will not have a choice at Rivendell. Those battles were many years ago. They are not forgotten, but we prefer to choose peace over war.

You seem to forget why I came to the north then.

We are allies with Gondor, not Gondor itself. I think you forget that

You clearly do not understand the meaning of me coming north. Why else would a Haradrim look for allies in the north?

*Leans over my horse, and takes your hand* I know this hurts you, coming here. but if we want to achieve peace, it has to be done.

*pushes you away*

You do not see. For a man to travel so far then there has to be a strong threat to send someone looking for allies.

*Looks away* We're almost there, not long now... *rides slightly ahead*

*catches up an ides alongside*

You cannot ignore what I am trying to tell you.

*rounds on you* It is not easy to hear that a race who I believed to be my allies are still my enemy, even if it is through our allies. I want peace between us. Between every race.
