[This one looks rather ostentatious, though it isn't really through any choice of his own. He's red haired and dressed in Scarlets, muttering to himself and trying not to look too concerned. He's actually doing quite a good job of it, though the look in his eyes might give him away to anyone who knows how to read it.]
Safest Bard in Haven, indeed. [Never mind that he'd been the one to say that.] When Vanyel hears of this, I'll never hear the end of it. [Here he adopts a different tone, clearly imitating someone else.]
"Do you see, Stefen? I was right. My enemies will only use you against me." [Sigh.] Yes, he certainly needed another excuse to try and be rid of me.
Hellsteeth.
[He takes a few cautious glances around, but shakes his head. Apparently he doesn't like much of what he sees, but he does at least try to give an endearing, albeit self-deprecating smile.]
Would someone mind please informing me as to where I am? I'm afraid I've not much to provide in the way of a reward for your help, but I would certainly appreciate it. I'm sure I can find some way to repay you.

Surely you refer to another Vanyel, Bard? I cannot say I know another who shares my name, but the world is big and I know better than to make assumptions.
[Based on his appearances alone, he is younger than Stefen will remember. There are white strands scattered throughout his hair, but the raven black remains prominent. He also looks less fatigued - i.e. the circles under his eyes are less obvious.]
Are you from Valdemar?
[Video]
Van? Where are you? Where are we? Is this a joke?
[Video]
I do not believe we have met? [Yet if he is a Bard, he could use adequate protection.] I will find you. Stay put.
[He lets his senses guide him. It surprises him how easy it is to find Stefen. In fact, he's so surprised that he comes to a halt and swallows with difficulty.]
We have been summoned.
[Video>Action]
[But then Vanyel is standing right in front of him. And as much as he wants to just fall into the man's arms, he's holding himself incorrectly. His body language is off. And that makes him resist.]
Summoned? By who? What for?
[Action]
I have no intention of "putting you off". [Whatever that means.] How is it that you know Medren? And me?
[There is a growing tension in his neck and back - familiar tension. It happens when he's stressed. Being cut off from Yfandes and having to adjust to a strange kingdom has set him on-guard.]
I cannot say. Which Court have you been placed within?
[Action]
Medren is a friend of mine. I think everyone in the Kingdom knows of you. [It was too late to even pretend that that covered everything, but that would be the only answer he'd be giving.]
Ah..."Seelie," I think. To be quite honest, Herald, I'd never heard of such a thing before.
[Action]
Then you are a friend of mine, though it confuses me how you could know him. He is too young to be a Bard or otherwise.
[It excites him to think another of his family might have Gifts, however.]
It refers to faes. [He steps closer and rests a hand on Stefen's shoulder, solid and comforting.] I am in the Seelie Court as well. We will not be forced to fight one another, at least.
[OOC: And of course this starts playing.]
[Action]
[And, thankfully, not upset with Stefen being jumped to Master over his head.]
Good. I imagine I wouldn't stand much a chance against you.
((lolol))
[Action]
Time alterations? Vanyel wants to argue that such a thing isn't possible, but the proof of it stands before his eyes and he is skilled at telling a liar from someone truthful.
Stefen is being truthful.]
We... You're from...
My future?
[The hand on the Bard's shoulder drifts, momentarily, to touch the boy's cheek before it retreats like a frightened animal.]
I wouldn't give you any competition.
[Action]
It seems so.
[He forgets to breathe, though, when he feels Van's hand touch his cheek, if only briefly, but he manages to roll his eyes.]
Please. The great Herald Mage Vanyel Demonsbane seems far more than an equal to a Bard.

If you tell me more about where you are, I can probably point it out. I've traveled some.

Ah, it seems I've been found, but thank you.

If it helps, a large battle just finished. Things should be more quiet for a while.

Depends on how you got here, if you want specifics. Generally speaking, you're in the Drabwurld. Also, Vanyel is here in Caer Glaem.
[He tilts his head.]
Stefen, right? I'm Nico.
Re: [Video]
Well-met, Nico. I'm afraid you'll have to explain a little more. I've never heard of "Drabwurld."
[Video]
Drabwurld is what everyone calls this whole planet. I think there's a more formal name for it, but it doesn't seem to matter much.
Re: [Video]
If I weren't seeing all of this, I'd be convinced I was dreaming. Or losing my mind. I don't know if I'm much more convinced I'm not dreaming.
[Video]
[He hesitates.]
If you have any questions or anything, I can try answering them. There's a library, too, that's open to everyone. Some sections are forbidden, but there's always asking the High King and Queen for access.
Re: [Video]
Thank you. I'll look into it.
