Because I'm fashionable like that, a meme.

If I was to be jailed with no chance of escape, how would you want me to be punished, if at all?

"Shall we, then?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "Yep."

He leads her to his portal and through. They emerge outside a small but cozy looking house surrounded by trees. A path winds its way down towards the dusty road.

She laughed, delighted. She could never get used to walking through a portal to an entirely new place. She smiled at him.

He gestures grandly. "My home. Merry and I live here."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"'S perfect," she said softly, looking around her.

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

He grins happily.

She laughed again, at the sudden feeling of stepping into a very vivid painting.

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Come on," he says enthusiastically, almost bouncing down the path towards the woodland area.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She followed, equally enthusiastic, raising her face to the sky.

He holds the gate by the road open for her, then skips in front of her again, leading the way. "This is part of Buckland, which is Merry's family's. I used to vist quite often when I was younger."

She closed the gate carefully and followed, smiling brightly. "What a perfect place t' go! Must've been happy."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Yes, well, except for Frodo. His parents died not far from here, then he went to live with Bilbo in Hobbiton."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Oh! How? Bilbo's nice, though?"

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"They were boating. Bucklanders are all a bit off in the head." He taps his forehead in emphasis.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Aye. Boatin'. I know how t' do that." She tapped her forehead, mimicking the gesture.

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Sensible hobbits prefer to stay on land." He grins. "Though I did do a bit of boating in my time."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Oooh. A non-sensible one, I've got." She smiled.

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

He chuckles. "Circumstances forced me. And if you ask about, people will tell you that Tooks are a bit odd."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Ah, bein' odd-strange is good."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"You know, I think you're right, but there aren't many in these parts that would agree."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Unfortunate, that."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Aye, but what can you do?" He smiles slightly.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Change th' world, but you're 'ready done that, yeah?"

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"We did our best," he says, looking down in embarrassment.
