[ Curious, as about so many things here, Legolas listens and takes in all the information offered; learning, always learning, much preferring to do so by experience and on his own skin, rather than by pouring through thick and dusty tomes in the library. And this world has so, so much to offer. ]

It is within your right, or ought to be, to ignore a conflict you wish not to be involved in. I, for my part, have come willingly for I too have experienced times when darkness threatened to overcome my home and I wish it not, not even a threat of it, on another. [ So many years past, the times of the War of the Ring were still clear in his mind, as if it all happened only yesterday. The threat that weighted on so many, that took so many... Legolas shakes his head, brushing the thoughts aside. ] But no matter I will not make an enemy when there is no ill will.

[ But he cocks his head slightly, gives a smile that's small and fond. ] It is no surprise, in fact. Many have only the patience to look, but not to see and many details escape when one hurries at all times because their years are not limitless. I am an elf myself, indeed, but I have not heard of a djinni before.

[ No denying the curious tones that sound nearly a question in his last statement. ]
