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.

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.

[ The smile is quick and bright ]

It will be an honor to exchange tales over such a meal with you. I will look forwards to it!

Bring your best tales then. We'll have a wonderful night then.

[ A momentary flicker and the smile turns a little wistful ]

I do not know if I know many [ any ] joyful tales, but of a certainty, I will do my best.

I think we'll manage alright. I doubt I have a great many myself.

I am sure you have more tales than you know, my friend! But aye, I will look forwards to it.

Perhaps! We'll see. I look forward to it too. Keep care until then, Maglor.

You as well, my friend.
