More Turmith today. I have just about nothing to say except that I’m very busy, so I’m not going to say very much. Isn’t he cool? Love the shield. It’s a bit of a hassle preventing it from getting dented. Eärfaroth is the only one with a white jewel on the forehead of his harness.
First rehearsal with the flute and violin (and me) trio today. Violinist wasn’t notified by accident, so she learned the second movement instead of the first.
Mike has already beat his Twilight Princess. Hmm. Kevin has exhausted all the secrets he can get to without going into the Water Temple (which I am in, and he purposefully set this limit so he doesn’t go ahead again).
Going to lessons now. No chapter of any writing project today… I’m caught up. Now I have to write about the Water Temple, and Dark Link. Whoo. He’s a bit nifty, for a bad guy (maybe because he’s a clone of the cool hero).
Okay, more stuff to say now that I’m back from my lessons.
Turmith is, besides the leader of the Celebthol, also the leader of my tiny warhost that I led against Kevin’s Brets. He’s known in the text version simply as “the blue-eyed commander”, but he has a green-eyed second. I’m not sure if this refers to Elfinwë, the musician, or to the boss of the archer regiment that was the next to be finished. However, my strategic incompetence led to almost every single battle being lost by my troops. Phooey. It’s not blue-eyes’ fault! And in the text version, I managed to write it like a draw, instead of a massacre. Meh.
The young commander is… young, determined, a bit idealistic in his conceptions of nobility, but being an elf manages to carry it off well. Thinks well of others, tries to defend his friends, can be driven to exact vengeance. Also tries to excuse – but learn from – mistakes (archers effectively destroyed by not forming into ranks? Tell ‘em next time. By the way, they all escaped by climbing trees except one. Ha). A bit ambitious, as he wants to do his job well not only to protect the innocent, but also to be given larger armies to command. So far, his superiors think he’s doing a good job.
Turmith, on the other hand, is veteran and impassive, but good pals with Elfinwë in down time. Trains energetically, has a voice that carries well, loves backgammon oddly enough, blue eyes, dark hair, loves his horse, cool-headed in battle. Marital status unknown. That shiny sword belonged to his grandfather.
Recently overheard on Spiderman: The Old Bad Animation – “The next two components will arrive by submarine, jet, and armoured car!”
When I went clothes shopping with Mom, I also had a new ‘watch’ put in my ‘battery’ because the old one had run down.
Yay! Something that turned out! If you don’t remember them these two heads are representative of my Silver Helm guys. Turmith, or at least part of him that was abandoned due to NOT turning out, is on the left. Elfin is on the right, sans armour… and what a handsome fellow he is. So earnest looking. He’s my favourite. Here’re the minis, to remind you: Turmith, Elfin.
Turmith rides again!
