[ on the screen is a small, unassuming character. the only startling thing about him is the large, tired blue eyes peering in. there's the glint of a chain beneath his clothes when he stirs, and over his body is a worn green cloak.
when he speaks, it's slowly, carefully. he looks pale, a bit shaken still from the network but his voice is sure: ]
While I haven't been here long, I'd like to leave as much as anyone else.
[ quietly: ]
I do not believe our homes are truly destroyed.
[ frodo's eyes lower, before he speaks again: ]
Not only that but I should like to know how many come from the world of Arda. Or 'Middle-earth'. To me, it is my home.
And..if any of you have seen a hobbit about my size, with lighter hair, a bit stout, with a frying pan? His name is Samwise Gamgee. Or perhaps a strange creature, who calls himself 'Smeagol' or 'Gollum'. He tends to like the shadows. I am..responsible for him.
[ it's sad how he's used to this. first the ship, now this strange place. it seems his road is far longer than he could have imagined, and frodo quietly despairs a little in his heart, though it stubbornly clings to hope. ]
If not, I would ask if any come from a ship called the 'Tranquility'. I had been dwelling there for a time, and would wish to know of it's fate.
[ he seems to hesitate for a minute, but the question is necessary ]
Should you be from Middle-earth..I would ask if the Fellowship is a familiar word to any of you.

Yes, they will be fewer for it will be impossible to protect you from all the dangers this tower possesses, but they will come again.
[Video]
Then I would have you all protect yourself. That worries me far more.
[ and wryly ]
I think I am quite used to danger by now, my friend.
[Video]
[He looks a bit sad for a moment.]
I would hope to keep you from it as much as possible here, if I can.
[Video]
I know. You both would -- and I'm grateful.
Your other self, and I, will need to be prepared for them. As best as I can. I'm afraid I can't offer much in terms of battle.
[ it's said wryly, apology in his face ]
[Video]
[The small smile he gives Frodo now is an attempt, on his part, to reassure that hobbit. He really doesn't mind if Frodo can fight or not. So long as he was safe.]
