Margie is awesome! Here's a selection from my fanfiction, based on The Hobbit:

It wasn't a very good plan. In fact, it was a ludicrous plan, but he'd been in the cell for days and he was out of ideas and options. He had to give it a try.
“Do you know what a beard feels like,” he asked softly.
“Of course not,” she growled, her hair still shading her face.
He could free himself, and overpower her. Then fight his way out...The first step was to get her within reach. He moved close to the bars of his cage-like cell. “Come and find out.”
That brought her head up. She gave him a long, skeptical look.
“Just in the interest of—satisfying your curiosity.” The rational part of his mind was shouting that this was a very bad idea. Possibly the worst idea he'd ever had. But it would have to do.
Her eyes sparkled with renewed interest and she moved toward him, just as he knew she would. Volatile, curious elf. She was so predictable.
