And no doubt spend the whole time doing the “no, torture me instead!” thing, poorly disguising their concern through “well my people are heartier than yours, I just didn’t want your frail elvish/dwarvish self to get hurt” banter that inevitably breaks-down into “I was afraid you were dead/dying” love confessions and...

#how do they eventually escape? idk #maybe the magical stones of orthanc get persuaded to help a dwarf out and offer an opening in their cell #maybe they trick the orcs and stage a prison break and go on a slapstick chase scene through the tower wrecking saruman's stuff #and they end up outside on that platform somehow which is a bad idea when you have both a wood-elf and angry trees #and legolas plays ent-whisperer and calls down a rescue siege that way #maybe they just dial-up the wordplay so much that they verbally frustrate saruman SO MUCH that he lets them go just so HE can escape THEM #idk that's not really the point no one's going to be judging this story on its logistics i bet #gimleaf #gigolas #legolas #gimli #lotr au #lotr drafts #plot for sale i offer it to you freely
