Out in the Party Field: Melba Took

Jun 18, 2003 15:18

Melba Took trots down to the Party Field carrying the kite Isengar gave her and starts running with it, letting out the lead slowly, as a wind takes it aloft.

Oh wow, this is going great! *runs smiling*

It's sooo beautiful and . . . fu . . . .!

*kite tangles in the Party Tree*

Dammit!

*climbs the Party Tree*

Hey you! Melba! arathorn June 18 2003, 19:00:40 UTC

*stands at the foot of the tree, stares up*

No apples up THAT tree! *laughs* You doing ok up there?

Re: Hey you! Melba! melbatook June 19 2003, 00:30:30 UTC

No, not an apple, I'm afraid. *climbs*

Yeah, I think so. *climbs out a little onto the branch the kite is caught on and reaches*

*follows Melba out to the field, sits on grass and watches; smiles*

*smiles down at him from the tree* Hi! Um, I'll have it out and up and flying really soon. *continues reaching out onto the branch*

Hey, there's that new hobbit. arathorn June 19 2003, 05:28:13 UTC

*sees you sitting, walks over to you*

Hi. Listen. Do you think she's ok up in that tree? Do you think we should help her?

Oh, I'm Arathorn, by the way. I'm a Ranger that lives in a tree not far from the Pantry Smial. I've seen you around but I've never met you. You know my mun, however, so we're not complete strangers.

But am I a new and improved Hobbit? *ponders* isengar_took June 19 2003, 05:44:57 UTC

*looks up, smiles*

She'll be fine. We Tooks love adventure and are pretty hard to hurt, even if we do fall out of trees or have Trolls collapse on top of us or have Uruk-hai throwing snowglobes at us.

*stands, extends hand* A pleasure to meet you. I'm Isengar, Bingo's great-uncle.

*reaches a little further, takes hold of kite, the branch creaks as she inches along it, pulls it free, branch snaps*

Uh-OH!

isengar_took June 19 2003, 14:58:49 UTC

*jumps up and runs over*

Melba!!!

*holds onto branch as it collides with another that she also grabs onto, and hangs swinging, with the kite in her mouth, sees Ise run over, drops kite down to ground*

'm OK! I got the kite! *swings a little * Whoa!

(ah, I gotta get him some kids one of these days - he's such a dad; not my dad, but a dad) isengar_took June 19 2003, 15:08:12 UTC

*raises eyebrow*

.... Melba?

*coaxes*

You can, ah, come down now. Dont' want you to break a leg or get a nasty splinter that will eventually get infected and thus call for amputation the kite to fly away, do you?

Could not resist! arathorn June 19 2003, 22:21:15 UTC

*shouts up at Melba*

Melba! It's Gwaihir! Jump! Don't be afraid! He'll catch you!

*watches eagle swoop through the trees toward Hobbit lass*

( ... )

Who else but an Eagle to the rescue? :-) isengar_took June 20 2003, 03:11:16 UTC

*watches in nervous anticipation*

*to Arathorn* Thank you so much for helping!

Oh how my mun wishes she didn't have to go to work today! arathorn June 20 2003, 07:01:17 UTC

*watches eagle soar and swoop*

Cross your fingers, Isengar. We can only hope Melba can time things out or else you'll be less one Smial mate.

Re: Oh how my mun wishes she didn't have to go to work today! isengar_took June 20 2003, 12:07:42 UTC

*watches the Eagle swoop down*

*calls out* Ready, Melba?

*half to himself, half to Arathorn* She's gonna be all right. She's gonna be all right .....
