[ The feed flickers on, displaying an elf seated in one of the more comfortable seats that the library of Caer Glaem has to offer. Nuada is garbed in his customary black, pale hair hanging loosely over his shoulders, and stares straight at the locket. ]

Good day, gentlefolk. I seek the fell beast known as Greenleaf. If you are near the environs of Caer Glaem, my lord, I can be found in the library. I would like to meet you.

[ And now that the invitation (or challenge, depending on point of view) is out of the way: ]

I also seek stories, or information, from those who may share their worlds with my kind. My name is Nuada Silverlance, son of King Balor, of the Clan Bethmoora. Some of my people - our gods - fled from home many years ago, and I have long searched for their location.

Therefore, if anyone would like to share their legends, I would be a most appreciative audience.

[ The feed shuts off a moment later. ]

[ Very little hurts Nuada if he can manage it. Not for himself, of course, for he is a warrior and trained to ignore pain. His sister, on the other hand, should never have to deal with it. But! Kara's Change is more important at the moment, and fury lights his eyes - that such a little girl, human or not, would be savaged so instead of being given an honorable (and swift) death. ]

Should this thing who attacked you ever chance on this realm, little one, you will tell me immediately. And I will take care of him.

[Her eyes riveted back to the locket and took on the golden sheen they did when she was a wolf for a moment. It was in reaction to the command - her wolf was a dominant - but she didn't take it as a challenge. No, she'd accepted Nuada as being more dominant than her.]

I will. They told me Josef killed him, but I guess the dead sometimes show up here.

[Her wolf would want the chance to sink her fangs into that rogue, but Kara was terrified of him. She didn't want him to show up at all.]

Many show up here, yes. It stands to reason the dead are not exempt. You will tell me, won't you?

[roses_in_winter]

I will. [awkward teenager pause] Can I go with you to see this Greenleaf beast? I won't get in the way.

[bethmoras]

Not this meeting, no. Perhaps another time.

[ While it's not a promise, he'll see what he can do if things go well. ]

Re: Video

[roses_in_winter]

Okay. I hope so. Will you tell me about him when you come back?

[She may be looking for excuses to hang out with Nuada.]

Video

[bethmoras]

If you wish. Do you like stories, little wolf?

[ He doesn't mind. Kara is better behalf than a lot of normal human children he's known. ]

I do. I like to think there is always something to learn in a story. It's just not always easy to see. Sometimes it take a couple tellings before it's learned.
