Old? Older than dirt, quite literally. Misinformed? Possibly. [ He's purring now, like a cat with cream. ] Either way, you are still young enough to be a mote of dust floating on the surface of the river of time. I hope it does not swallow you; I find I enjoy your company.
Thranduil might be weak, and a coward, but he has the covetable honor of commanding much. I will take him as a hostage, and leave my demands at the feet of his supporters, who will rally either to meet them, or win him back by force. When they ascertain that meeting demands is by far the most advantageous option open to them, we will move forward.
Since you cannot break your bond, I warn you against interfering. I will make it gentler for you both.
Come between me and my goal, however, and I will not let my personal predilections come between me, and what will help win us escape from our mutual oppressor.
