[video] open (and closed)
[It hasn't been very long since his last attempt at communication, but this time he actually has something a little more worthwhile. A few questions, and the first one is perhaps an unusual one.
Lusiphur's location is unclear because the background of the video is mostly just darkness. He's wearing a black bandana on his head so that it covers his long elf ears. It's not an attempt to hide his identity other than he doesn't want to obscure any valid responses to his question.]
Do the words Elen sila lumenn' omentievlo mean anything to anyone who's listening?
[He met an Elf at the feast soon after his arrival who said he had family here. Time to seek them out... and hey, his pronunciation of the phrase is actually pretty good.]
[CLOSED to the Unseelie]
[this is one disgruntled elf when he'd bored]
Since I seem to be temporarily out of a job, I'm looking for one. Is there anything interesting out there that needs doing? No housework or manual labor. Killing things is a plus. No charity work. I left my resume back in Amyrahl'nn, so to save time just assume I can do whatever it is that needs doing.

Quenya sounds a lot like the language the old wizards use to write their books. The vocab is completely different but--
[he pauses because this is distracting him] Don't take this the wrong way, but you are way too hot for a mother.
Video
And that, sir, is how I became the mother of seven.

[Lusiphur does some quick math in his head to determine that she is waaaay too old for him (even if he was looking for something like that which, crow, he was not), but hanging around would also not be the shittiest way to spend an afternoon.]
Learning a new language would give me something to do, I suppose.
Video
I will do what I can. But it will provide welcome breaks as I work on my commission for Morla.
Re: Video
What kind of work do you do that the High-Queen is interested in? [a little bit of info about the monarchy tossed in? Bonus.]
Video

A memorial for what?
[He'd missed her memo when he was still trying to figure out how the locket worked and if he even cared enough to try. It did seem to make communication over distances a lot easier than sticking a letter in the post... if they ever did that here.
The purpose of the question is to determine what the High-Queen valued enough to erect a memorial for, and knowing a little more about the redhea-- No. He derails that train of thought immediately.]
If you're going to be by teacher, I suppose we need to name a place to meet to see if this is going to work. I can speak, read, and write seven languages already, so it can't possibly be too difficult.
The name's Lusiphur Malaché, by the way.

My name is Nerdanel. And I have much experience with language myself. My husband was one of the finest language scholars of all the Eldar, and I his favored partner for such study and practice.

[It occurs to Lusiphur that despite his bragging, it's been over 100 years since he sat and studied anything instead of occupying his free time with fighting and drinking. Even when he'd tried to retire a few years ago, he'd taken work on a fishing ship.... At least this old language wasn't completely dead like the ancient Elvin that Jace had to learn. It only even made sense to Luse to learn living languages, that way you know what everyone it talking about when you enter a room]
...the lost and fallen... from this war we've been conscripted into? Is it a large one? [meaning: have many people died for this?]
