[ooc: No, actually! It's one echo per trigger (unless it is a 2 tier, then you get two related echoes for the trigger, but those you can only have once per month), so you can have multiple echoes in a thread (though it's rarely done). So if for example Thorir tells Fili about Dís, and then later in the same thread Kili shows him his runestone for the first time, that would be two different triggers and he could get two echoes. Echoes are basically up to you as long as it's not overdone - when the mods feel that someone is getting disproportionately many echoes in a given month, they will stop approving them or asking for a break in echoes the next month, but that happens rarely. I guess if you wanted ten echoes out of the same thread that would be the same. They seem to be looking more into triggers - is the connection between trigger and echo clear, and was the trigger (or something super similar to it) used before - though that can sometimes be fixed with a clarification (f.ex: "Thorir talks to Fil in Khuzdul" and "Killian talks to Fil in Khuzdul" would probably be too close to both be used as triggers, but if it is "Killian calls Fil "brother" in Khuzdul" it is probably echo worthy). And it would of course always have to be the first time that that thing happens for it to cause an echo.]


A beard? [Someone really needs to tell Thorir about the dwarf part. Seriously. Right now he's thinking more of something like Beorn's family, and that is. an awkward idea. (It will also solve the confusing question of why he thinks that Kili was a lot taller than Killian is while Killian seems to assume that he was shorter... Dear Thorir, you were shorter...)

At the moment, he's just. Staring at his nephew. Imagining Eydís with a beard. Sorry sis.]

[ooc: thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything to me. I feel much better now. I think I was worried before that it's going to take too long for characters to regain their memories. I guess in this thread Fili got an echo of an image of his mother from the name Dis, though no details yet.]

Yeah. It's a nice beard actually. Very neat and it's braided with decorations and everything. [And this is when he notices the look on his uncles face. This is when the little shit part of him surfaces.] I'm going to tell ma you think of her with a beard.

No!

[There is a moment of panic - not deep to the bone, fearful one, more the "my sister will kill me" type - but then he shakes his head.] You would have to explain to her how I came to that thought. [And that is obviously not an option.]
