Friendship (Gimli)
"He chose it"
Ever since his father's unpleasant experience with the elves of Mirkwood, he'd learnt to scorn them; to uphold his family's honour. At first he thought that the pointy-eared elvish princeling he was unwillingly sent on a journey with was the same as his father: arrogant and cruel. It was only when their leader fell and he experienced the true hospitality of the elves that his views began to change, and he spotted the differences between his companion and his father's jailer. Looking back, he couldn't remember who reached out a hand first, but he did know that he chose it.
Exactly 100 words. Thanks to Aria Breuer for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Friendship, Gimli, "He chose it"). No OCs or anime-filler characters, please, but any other character, however obscure, is welcome.
Oh yeah, if anyone's interested I'm now accepting fic requests. More details are on my profile.
