Goose2:I've got an idea!

Lalaith:What is it?

(Goose2 leanes towards Lalaith and whispers something in her ear.)

Lalaith:You know what? It just might work!




Goose2 approaches Glaurung.

Goose2:You know what!You're a sucker!

Glaurung:No,I'm not!

Goose2:I say you are!

(Lalaith sneaks up to them and rips Glaurung's backbone out)

*sigh*

Yet another plan that relies on Glaurung being ridiculously stupid and Lalaith having superhuman strength.

Sorry, Urwen. Rejected.

[Urwen]

Look you!I've got a super maniac plan now and if you reject it,I'll trap you in a sack!

Here it is:

(In a tavern,Lalaith and geese are sitting around the table,munching)

Lalaith:Have you got any other idea?

Goose1:Lemme think...Aha!

(An hour later,in Nargothrond,Lalaith and geese have Mim the dwarf tied up.)

Lalaith:Glaurung likes this treasure.Curse it!

Goose1:Or I'll rip your throat out!

Mim:I curse this treasure....

(Lalaith kills Mim and walks calmly out of Nargothrond, followed by geese.They rerurn to tavern and have a nice nap...)

I can't think of anything else...for now!

I don't think you actually know what honor is. Look it up.

You know, chances are Beleg was already married. According to the essay in Morgoth's Ring, The Laws and Customs of the Eldar, Elves usually married young (around the age of 150 years, as I recall). Beleg most likely was already married (albight without children, as elves tried not to have children during times of war). Moreover, Lalaith would not have been worried about marriage at her young age (unless she was rather creepy ).

Clearly these are no ordinary geese, but giant ones...

They are giant, remember?

Uber-giant geese, Nerwen! Keep up!

...I can't even follow this one. What's the point again?

Another point: Lalaith does not seem to mind blood at all, but I do. Could you tone down the "rip out the backbone" and such like? Please?

Actually, given how women's honor was defined throughout most of history, I don't think Lalaith's honor has ever been in question. She was, after all, very young when she died.

Well, I've lost track of how old Urwen's er... interesting version of Lalaith is meant to be, but I'm hoping she's an AU Lalaith who lived to grow up. You may say that makes it hard to argue it's the same character, but when the alternative is a bizarre SuperBaby!Sue on a bloodthirsty killing spree...

Maybe you could clear this up, Urwen?

Mind if I ask.. you guessed it... how?

Why and how? Don't get it.

[Nerwen]

Actually, if I squint really hard I can sort of discern a hazy glimmer of meaning– that Lalaith and her geese somehow transport the treasures of Nargothrond somewhere in order to induce Glaurung to do something, and that she had to somehow kill Mîm to do so.

But that absolutely and definitely won't work. By that point in the story, everyone was dead except Mîm, Húrin and Morwen. All over bar the shouting.

I thought you liked her?

Of course I like her! I named myself after her!
