These graves, it seems we have a lot of work ahead of us. For the sake of making sure the entire remains of those buried beneath the flowers, I'm willing to offer my help to anyone who asks. I'll be able to find any pieces someone might miss.

[Don't ask how, he won't explain.]

I'll mostly be staying around Caer Scima, the surrounding forests but I'll be willing to travel as far as the Station if need be.

You met- [He can't help but laugh.] Oh, she is. Did you both get along?

If there's some hostile intention towards me, I'll be able to sense it. At least, I hope I will when it comes from a tree.

Hm [ Maglor hums in soft amusement ] You will have to ask her that, I think. I found her spirited and lively, and would not mind meeting her again.

And I hope so - I will come if you call, but at the distance we are likely apart, I would have to use the boon-ring, and that works only at night! I would not trust to my chances of finding you in time.

I'm glad to hear you like her. She sticks with me more often then not so you may see her more often.

[Grinning.] Thank you, Maglor. You're a good friend. We'll try not to get into any more trouble than we can handle during the day.

We shall see what she thinks of me - she has keen eyes, that one, and sees truly, I think. A good companion for you.

[ An almost shy smile and he tips his head a in bow ]

Be well, my friend.

Oh, she certainly does. Keen eyes and a strong arm. A good companion for anyone.

[He grins.] You as well, I would hate to hear about something happening to you.

Hmm. [ Maglor hums speculatively a little at that and tips his head in acknowledgement ]

I am glad you have such a boon companion.

[ You are wondering if they are more. Ambarussa lean on his shoulders and announce gleefully You could always ask? ]

I will be careful - my mother and brothers are here, after all!

As am I.

[Much more and yet not so much as most might think.]

Your family! I'm glad you have family with you.

[ a fond smile ]

Yes - my mother, my eldest brother, and the one directly after me. Although I feel that I should not be happy that they are drawn to such times as these, I confess that I am glad to see them again, beyond all hope.

I understand. I wouldn't wish my brothers to be drawn into this but, oh Seas how I'd be glad to see them.

[ Maglor nods in understanding ]

Tis a quandry eh? You wish to see them again, but do not want the consqeunces of seeing them... I would wish that you might meet your family again Po, but not here, I think.

Will you tell me of them?

No, not here. Perhaps someday, when we find our ways home again, I might visit Lienid to see them. [Maybe.]

I have six older brothers. Skye and Silvern are the closest to me in age and we get along best. We used to practice handfighting together, even after my Grace manifested.

[ A moments startled pause and Maglor smiles a little wistfully ]

Yet another thing we have in common - I too, have six brothers, but I am the second eldest in my family - I have not been the youngest in a long time!

I am glad that you are close to them - family is a bond that is hard to shake

Perhaps someday I might have a younger sibling but, for now, my parents are happy enough with the seven of us.

[ a soft chuckle ]

Among the Eldar, seven is considered a scandalously high number. I had thought it a high number for Men, as well? Ai, but forgive me, I am being rude.

I hope, what ever your parents chose, that they, and you, will be happy.

Oh no, it isn't rude. It is a lot but the Lienid are considered strange to other kingdoms.

'Lienid' is the House you are born to? [ Maglor tips his head curiously ]

How are they strange?

Lienid is the name of our kingdom and our people.

[Po thinks up a quick list.] We're a great seafaring people and most Lienid people have gray eyes and dark hair. And we can't grow facial hair. Our king doesn't own Gracelings and we don't treat them so differently from others as people do in the other kingdoms.

We also have a bit of a love for gold jewelry. [If all of his rings and his pierced ears are anything to go by.]

They sound a good people - strong and true. I would hope that more folk would treat people with such gifts as yours as what they are - people, rather than weapons, but I suppose that so long as there is war...

[ A soft chuckle at that ] Ai, you ask the wrong person if you think I will condemn you for that. I used to be quite the peacock in my youth, although I preferred sapphires and pearls.

I hope they would too. And it may change in the future but at least I know not all Gracelings can be used as weapons. A Grace can be literally anything after all.

[He can't help but laugh as well.] Gold is a Lienid favorite although, I admit, I wouldn't object to other kinds. Were we in any situation that allowed for it.

You will have to explain how your world's 'Graces' work, one day! It seems a strange and marvellous thing to me.

[ He shrugs a little ] Dwarves favoured gold - I know father used it for accent and ornamentation, also.

I'll be happy to. Though I can't tell you everything, even we don't know why some people are Graced and others aren't.

I don't blame them for it.

I think no one ever knows everything! It would be a very boring world if so, I think - but I would be glad to sit down with you and learn more of your world.

[ a soft chuckle ] No, I suppose you would not.

I'm not disagreeing. And any time you'd like, just let me know.

[Grinning.]

Then I will have to make a time, eh? Once the hustle dies down a little. There is a tavern, they say - well, a small shop - The Barrel, I believe it is called? It is a place where one can talk and no one mind them. Perhaps we should share a drink some time?

You will and so will I.

That sounds like a good idea to me. It's been awhile since I've had a chance like that.
