never take advice from someone who just admitted to being devious and just confessed to treason


Winter had rolled into the north with a savage brutality, and all too suddenly the hills and flats had been smothered beneath a fortress of ice. Roland had never taken kindly to the bitter winds and drifts of snow that came with Frostfall, turning instead to the shelter of the caves and what little warmth could be found within their depths. It was not the most exciting way to pass the time, and he often longed for the temperate climate of the south, to see the sun again, released from gray clouds that bore only snow. Thick drifts now covered the pathways and obstructed the mountain pass, and though he might have tried to deny it, to distract himself from it, Roland felt undeniably trapped. He had been stirred out of his solitude by a familiar, though not entirely welcome voice. It was quiet, beneath the rocks and tucked away from the tempestuous winds. He was almost content to entertain himself with thoughts and memories, but it seemed he was to be drawn out and away from peaceful isolation.

As reluctant as he was to venture into the open air, he wasted no time in responding to the call. Withdrawing from shadow, he winced against the assaulting light of the sun, tucking chin to chest against a buffeting wind as he trailed the curving edge of the lake, walking until the golden form of Thranduil was visible in the distance, his high spirited companion not far away from the new Lord. Roland hoped he had called upon him to bestow some task, some duty, no matter how insignificant- for he was eager for something, anything with which to occupy his time, and Gods forbid it be a mere social call instead. Or perhaps he wished to gloat, but Roland would not give him the satisfaction of feeling jealousy. He was absolved of envy, free of malice, for the only quarrel he had with the golden stallion was that he did not trust his motives, and always wanted what was best for his herd.

"Thranduil," he called once he was at a close distance, drawing to a halt at the water's edge. There was an amiable smile on his lips, though his ease tempered somewhat by the grin upon Thranduil's face, the reason for which Roland postulated could be nothing good; yet he was determined to keep their meeting pleasant, and so his manners did not falter. "Congratulations."
