[lass of something much]

Oh, Sorry, Bookie.. *Gives Scott back to Bookie*

[Scott McLamok]

(You'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking...)

[Flib Bigboat]

My preciousssssss...

Give uss the precioussss! We wants it! We wants it!

[Booklover]

That's not really a good idea, you know.

[Flib Bigboat]

I know.

[Booklover]

And you do realise that I'd never give it away, either because I know it's dangerous and don't want to give it to someone who might be tempted or because I myself am the one tempted?

[Flib Bigboat]

Both, I suppose. Also yes. But you don't have to chew me out for it.

[Booklover]

Better safe than sorry.

Should probably hurry up and throw the ring in a volcano, though.

[Flib Bigboat]

(It was a volcano?)

[Booklover]

Mountain with lava = volcano.

[Flib Bigboat]

What about a mountain with Gollum?

[Booklover]

Run. Fast as you can.

If the mountain also has lava, it's a volcano.

[Flib Bigboat]

True.
But couldn't Frodo just throw the ring into any old volcano and it would be destroyed, not just the one in Mordor?

[Booklover]

No, has to be Mount Doom, I think (because it was forged there? I might be misremembering).

[Flib Bigboat]

Ah. I last read the book last year, so I don't remember that clearly. But you're probably right.
(Also, I was half joking)
