Confronting Legolas
"Calm down Legolas, do not judge a book by its cover," said Thranduil.
"Ada they are dragons, untrustworthy, faithless, accursed. Servants of Melkor," said Legolas.
"We do not work for Melkor, we work for ourselves," said Ironjaws.
"You can't even take care of yourselves," said Silverjaws.
Legolas put his knives away. "Legolas do not worry, everything is under control. These dragons are harmless. Of the three only Silverjaws can breathe fire. There is no danger son," said Thranduil.
"The Prince of Spider Infested Forest. Um what do you call this forest anyway?" said Ironjaws.
"Mirkwood," answered Legolas.
"Mirkwood, you mean the forest that borders the Desolation of Smaug, also known as Greenwood the Great," asked Silverjaws.
"Yes, now get out of here," said Legolas.
"No, they are staying and will earn their keep here," said Thranduil.
"Thank you so very much. The smart looking silver scaled is Silverjaws. I am Ironjaws and this walking, talking slime of green next to me is Wildknife," said Ironjaws.
"You can call me WK for short," said Wildknife.
"Yes short on wits, manner and charm. Everything I hold dear," said Ironjaws.
"How about holding your breath," said Silverjaws.
"Come on Ada. Do not make the same mistake grandfather made," said Legolas.
"No Legolas they are staying here unless they prove themselves evil," said Thranduil.
