Not So Cordially Invited - Thranduil - 06-20-2015 He was loathe to leave it. Already the cold skin mourned the warm heated touch of the steam. It was replaced once again by snow, and the more the golden journeyed in it the more he cursed it. He was not built for winter’s cold and snow’s icy bite. He grew from deserts, and oases. But of course, anything would do now. Usually this time of year he found some excuse to bow out of the mountain’s frozen grip, but a series of unfortunate events was holding him here. Also unfortunately the list of that series was growing. However much he wanted to stay at the hot springs his tasks called him to move on and look for another. Roland had shown up where he was heading once before and he was hoping to find the copper man there again. Compared to the others he was actually looking forward to this. The copper man had been the golden’s equal in rank, but now the power balance had shifted. The golden’s head truly was crowned now. As he came to the unfrozen lake the golden laughed to himself at the thought. Haldir behind him, dragging to leave the springs perked up at this, but then is quickly distracted again by fighting snow drifts the golden’s tall legs had not conquered. At last the pair comes to the lake edge. The golden’s personal comfort came first of course. He steps, with his growing deer, to the water’s edge and both drink their fill of its unfrozen surface. Shaking his horns as he finishes the gold at last looks about. He was nearly done, and this was to be the most entertaining out of all. “Roland!” The calm voice bellows. As much as he tried to hide it there are some things you cannot deny- a grin lite his face as he waited.

RE: Not So Cordially Invited - Thranduil - 06-21-2015 The copper man was in luck, this wasn’t just a social call. The golden lifted his head as he heard the coming of the stallion, and his smile grew all the more to see once against his commanding summons answered. Yes, that made this all a little easier. Especially though to see the man who had bested him at riddle come, was a treat. Tasseled tail flicked at his hinds at the pleasure. Haldir was more enthusiastic. He saw yet another creature come to his bonded’s call and his small face lite up. He remembered this stallion from the night on the beach with the turtle. Jogging over he comes to stand just a little ahead of the golden, waiting for any attention he could pull. The gold had grown used to ignoring Haldir’s light movements which were so against his own heart. Instead he nodded as the copper man spoke his name, and his grin grew exponentially to hear the congrats. He did not care if the copper man did not sulk, that wasn’t what his pride bounded from. No, what he loved the most was that the man had come at all and recognized his superiors. He was, after all, here to prove he could slip by and present a pleasant, good face as well. The golden was always a vain creature. Still there was business to be done, and while the golden did enjoy hanging his crowned head higher than the Impersonator. So he nods to the compliment again and moves on directly. “You might have noticed Roland the place beside Arah remains empty.” It had been a regretted notion she was Thief after her outburst, but the decision had been made. “To judge you against your peer, Grimalkin, you have been tasked with an expedition.” Even as excited as he was to hold his rank over Roland and command him, this part was a bit boring. “You are to gain something from a herd, an outcast, and a stealth. Preferably successful.” A brow raises with the hint of a challenge, but he moves on. Even that small excitement not able to hold over the course of the boring speech. “Whatever you gain, bring it, and return to me when you have completed your expedition.” The golden beast sighs, but his smirk never has left. OOC :: @[Roland] must gain something (item, information, access) from a herd, outcast, and stealth. Unlimited timeline, though two seasons is suggested. Given the nature of this expedition you are allowed to make multiple attempts at your tasks (especially the stealth). Just return with your final submissions. The purpose is judge him against Grimalkin for rank and magic purposes. If you have any questions feel free to ask icly or oocly, and good luck!
