Accidental Video | Seelie & Unseelie | sometime during a break in worm fighting

[bythewaves]

[ The locket comes alive with a voice - deep and wild as the sea, it sings a lament in a language that seems made for music. The songs starts partway, and it is obvious perhaps that the singer is not aware that he is being recorded. There is the flash of one of the Unseelie imps, before it vanishes offscreen to reveal the singer - a man, or something like one, dark haired and grey eyed, with his face turned up to the stars.

To any who listen, the words of the song will paint themselves in the mind - white ships and blood on the sand, a tall and proud people with bright banners beneath a new-born sun, fire and blood and tears unimaginable, and three brilliant jewels that rival the stars ]

[This time, Radagast doesn't look wild or frantic as he peers at the device. There is much he remembers from before he set foot upon Middle Earth with the other of the Istari and this catches his attention.

But he says nothing, only listening for now as a bird flutters about him.]

video; eeeee Radagast!

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor, for his part, is from before the time of the Istari, and if he ever met Aiwendil he would not recognize him now. He tips his head curiously ]

Is there ought I can do for you sir?

video; <3!!

[aiwendil]

[Aiwendil had taken a different from then but for now, he is Radagast even now.]

You might you be then?

video always

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor blinks and crooks a puzzled eyebrow ]

I am myself, aye?

[aiwendil]

Ah yes, of course. [Radagast understands as he nods, but the look in his eyes is still wary.] Names change, we do not.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor flushes slightly at the possible implication but lifts his chin proudly ]

And who are you, stranger, who knows my name?

[aiwendil]

Me? [Radagast pondered for a moment as if he was deciding that.] Ah yes! Radagast the Brown, that's me!

[bythewaves]

Maglor doesn't recognize the name, and falls back on the instincts and manners of policy.

"Well met then, if such a meeting may be considered such."

[aiwendil]

I am sure we shall meet, in time.

[Radagast peered at the locket, tapping against his staff to make sure it was working before nodding after he was satisfied. He doesn't trust these things work work properly, why can't they just use birds?]

[bythewaves]

I suppose that we will, although I saw you not at the feast, Master Radagast, and so must assume that we are enemies here.

[aiwendil]

Master? No no, I am no master [The wizard quickly, nervously corrected.] Enemies, hm? Are you my enemy? [it's a question for Maglor to answer, not just the wizard repeating things this time.]

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor pauses, the tiniest break in composure ]

I do not know you, [ he says carefully ] and so I may not speak truly if we are or nay. Yet you are truly of the Seelie court, then our hosts have set us at odds.

[aiwendil]

Ah so it is they who decided then. [Radagast remarks thoughtfully, nodding.]

[bythewaves]

[ ... you are very odd, sir ]

It seems that way.
