Aw sorry, Mari. But there will be more moments of battle and mayhem in the future, I promise.

Is okay, I'm not much of a fighter anyhow
 Besides, I found an opening in the story for me to jump in again, so I'm happy ^_^

Abasi's not young AT ALL...just...bitter and cynical and angry.

I figured as much, but Haldis is judging by behavior and appearance and at the moment he isn't exactly acting she expects more matured elves to act.

LOL, no wonder.
 I just didn't want him to come across the same as other Elves - the Avari are significantly different, and I wanted him to come across that way.

Significantly different in history and lifestyle, maybe. The bitter cynicism seems to be a feature of all the elven peoples...
I've edited so that my post coincides with both of yours, though the time overlap will still be a little jarring.

If he's as old as he claims, he can take it.

Abasi's isn't so terribly sad. It's not like his wife or kids or anything were murdered. He just had some crappy times, like all elves did.

Who said "sad history" has to include death or whatever?

I didn't mean to make his history sad - not any more than any other Elf...

I think you are misunderstanding me. Please ignore what I said about the sad histories.
It was more in jest anyway. ^_^

It's alright. If Abasi has a sad history, it's Tolkien's fault, not mine.

I dunno, I thought Carnehil had a ball with his past. Or...well, at least not as much to mope about.
