Radagast! Hey, I like that! It would be very much in character for him to show up at an awkward moment (the way he bumped into Gandalf in FOTR) and then wander off oblivious to what was happening and nowhere to be found when things got hot. Probably the reason he didn't respond to Aragorn was that he was thinking "Whoa, I definitely apparated in the wrong place. Knew I should've taken the left turn at Mirkwood."

Lush: No, I'm not Russian [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] - ethnically I'm Ukrainian with some German thrown in, with the result being that when I was younger I learned the Cyrillic alphabet and some baby-vocabulary in Ukrainian but that was about it. When I got to college I decided I needed to learn a Slavic language properly, and the one they had was Russian, so I did that (for four years, one year in Moscow) and loved it. The problem is that right now there's no one to speak it to (everyone I know who does is prohibitively far away) so I'm reading like crazy to make up for it and keep my vocab from disintegrating.

There, that was probably more than anyone wanted to know, wasn't it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Anyway, there it is.
