[To those who know him or are observant, Elrond looks perhaps a little stressed (more so than he usually might). Otherwise he looks quite well, though the image is just of his face.]

Greetings to all, met and unmet alike. I am curious to hear how everyone has managed through the most recent upheavals.


Closed to Castmates

[This was where he looked more worn, though still healthy and only a little bruised. He still manages a smile and holds the locket out a bit further to show he's dressed (unfortunately) in Unseelie colors.]

I am well. Rest easier, my locket of communication has been returned and I will be leaving within two weeks if all goes as planned.

[And he fully expects arguments about this, but won't shy from them.]

[This isn't funny, Elrond!

Radagast looks a bit more alarmed because oh god this is just making him more on edge right now.]

Not where we last spoke, no, where might you be then?

[...Actually it kind of is. Sorry Radagast. He likes you, really.

But he can see just how alarmed his friend is getting, so he does try to put his mind at ease.]

The Unseelie court and the land surrounding it.

[And fails miserably because there's nothing nice about how he'd come to be here, really, other than no torture.]

[This is why he lives in the woods and has little to do with Elves and Men usually, you all cause him too much stress.]

All the way up there? Elrond, that is dangerous territory to venture to, there are orcs and other foul creatures!

[Even when invited, Radagast didn't often visit which most of Imladris was thankful for.

He hesitates so very briefly, head tilting a little to acknowledge the points.]

I am well aware of what is here. I am well, and have an agreement of no harm with those here.

An agreement with orcs, Elrond?

[Radagast is not pleased at all, not even in the slightest.] Elrond there are no agreements to be made with the foul creatures of the darkness!

[warmassummersday]

[That gets a reaction, and not a kind one.] Never with such as orcs! This is with kin, with Celegorm.

These sides are not as clear as we are lead to believe, Radagast. There is light as well as darkness in each court.

[Good, now Radagast is at least satisfied Elrond understands that.]

No, they are not clear but you are in a dangerous place, do not take it so lightly! [It's like trying to herd cats dealing with Elves sometimes, seriously.]

[warmassummersday]

[Just as Elrond is satisfied Radagast understands he will never make light of orcs. The only reason he does not attack them here is because of his word with Celegorm.]

Not at all. I do not take it lightly. I tread lightly and with care.

[Radagast's eyes dart around, he's said as much as he wants to say on this device before he leans in even closer. Have a great view of yellow teeth, Elrond.]

Good, good, we shall speak further, this is not secure. We are being watched, I have no doubt.
