{Video: Open to Both Courts}

{Aragorn's quarters are impressive, though they seem to be rarely used. The covers on the bed are neat and the pillows are without dent. His personal belongings are sparse - mostly consisting of that which he can carry on the run - however he has amassed a nice collection of books. They are tucked away neatly on a shelf with an admirable stack of notes - in an ornate hand - beside them.

The flickering light foretells that a fire has been lit in the fireplace, yet he is lighting another, smaller, flame in a pipe. Once the herbs begin to burn, he brings the pipe to his lips, inhaling slowly.}


There is unease in the Drabworld. Foreign magic molds the land to its will and we are inclined to feel helpless before its might. I do not blame you for keeping counsel with only those you know and trust.

{He breathes out, smoke rising in the air like a mist.}

Yet are we not brothers and sisters in this plight?

{Unity might be an impossible dream. Even so, he has not given up hope on it.}

The danger I incur for speaking plainly is upon my head. I do not fear pain or death. But I do fear watching each court fall into ruin save for those who survived in the Drabworld long before our arrival.

Are you proposing something? Or merely opining?

...what do you mean by "foreign magic molding the land to its will"?

You would have my support in such a venture. Our world is at risk if either Court falls.

And Morla and Solais aren't behind it?

Once, I did what I could to try and prevent wickedness from befalling the East. Sadly, my counsel was not heeded. But I have kith and kin on both sides of this conflict. I would not see harm come to either.

Magic tends to leave a... residue, if you will? A signature? Is there any way someone could trace the source?

Of course. Vigilance is required in us all.

[She switches the settings so it is just the two of them now.]

I do not know if it will produce much of use to your proposal, but I will soon be undertaking a rare opportunity. It is no secret the commission Morla has ked of me, but she has promised to allow me access to her living memory to use for it. I cannot say what I will see, but it might provide valuable insight.

I am. Sort of. I have magic, but... it is largely untried. And I have not been here long, so I'm not yet used to what is and isn't normal here... But with some help... maybe I could try?

I'm sort of figuring it out on my own. I just haven't had a lot of time to practice. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's not wizardry. It doesn't come from books. It's... more a part of what I am.

All the memories I will be privy to will be used for the commission. But should any patterns emerge, any glimpses into something useful... Those I could pass along.

I, too, would seek something peaceful. The Fëanorians have experienced too much sorrow and bloodshed as it is.

...some of it. There are things I wouldn't ever have done had I been in my right mind at the time.
