It should be laughable for a human to be the one to protect an elf as experienced in battle as Maglor. But there's something about this one that leaves him standing still, staring at Tony with an odd mix of confusion, awe, and just plain lost.

He's glad to go along with the explanation, and feigns a sniff at the idea of wandering around just for the sake of children. He's done more absurd things to earn laughter than silly shoes! "I would be glad to hear it!" The latter has him almost shift in discomfort.
"...That is a truth of my world, though not so much in the past Age. Creatures called Orcs and Goblins have taken up that mantle of harassing and pillaging. Men have had to learn to mostly help themselves."
