Bilbo: When did taking a chance improve your life?
âWhen I decided to marry Ithilwen despite the warnings of my parents. I refused to believe that her passing would hurt me so, given that we had had a mortal lifetime of happiness together before it was her time to go. Unfortunately I did not realize that the happier I was, the more it was going to hurt when it all came to an end.â
Samwise: Have you ever done something for a friend that you would never have done on your own?
âI donât think so. Sure⊠perhaps if weâre talking about all the silly customs of Men I had to go through when I tried to adapt to their way of life. Had my wife not been one of them, I doubt I wouldâve made any contact with mortals on my own.â
Gimli: Have you ever had an opinion about someone that turned out to be completely wrong?
âI see where you are trying to take this conversation. Very well. I can admit it when I have been wrong. Perhaps you, my dear Firie, are not as annoying as I first perceived.
Legolas: What has been your most unlikely friendship, and did it last?
âOh, it has to be the friendship between me and my late wifeâs late brother. He was⊠eccentric, loud and full of life. Our bond was strong and our friendship lasted until the day he, too, took his final breath.â
CelebrĂan: Have you ever done something that took a turn for the worse that you werenât prepared for?
âWell obviously marrying my wife has to qualify. At first everything was perfect, thenâŠshe died. If that is not a turn for the worse thenâŠI donât know what is. And no, I was not prepared for it even though I knew it would happen eventually.
Ăomer: What are the things you consider to be worth fighting the system for?
âLove. Though with my newly found wisdom I-⊠I wouldnât wish anyone to go through the same kind of agony Iâv felt, yet I would wish everyone to enjoy the same kind of happiness I had.
Théoden: When have you been wrong but refused to see it?
âPerhaps⊠perhaps I should not have rushed to marriage with Ithilwen. It pains me to say this, but⊠Maybe if I had not married her, things would be-⊠I would be different - lessâŠbitter.
Sauron: What is your greatest weakness?
âCurrently or overall? I donât know. What is it that makes me weak? My ability to feel? My stubbornness that prevents me from letting go?â
Maglor: Do you believe in redemption?
âI do, though at times I do wonder ifâŠsome are just too far gone to be granted redemption. Do they even deserve it?â
LĂșthien: Do societal norms exist to be broken?
âNo. They donât exist to be broken, it is not their purpose, but they can be broken when needed.â
Thror: Do you value wealth?
âNo. Wealth is not where happiness is.â
ThrĂĄin: Do you consider yourself a selfish person?
âI suppose I am, though...I wasnât always like this. Do I regret becoming this... person I am now? Perhaps. Perhaps not. I do feel I am entitled to be a little self-centered considering that...I have to make it on my own from now on.
Dwalin: Do you have any hobbies?
âI used to have a few. Dancing, occasional singing and cooking as well. Plants and herbs and potions and poisons are the only hobby I have left and Iâd say these days they are a part of my profession rather than a hobby.
Fili: Do you have a good smile?
âI like to think I did have...thereâs just not much to smile for these days.â
