[Lancelot, standing on the edge of a riverbed, had traveled north after the battle for the Silmaril by himself. Realizing that it would have constituted a sort of abandonment of his post, he decided to let Ganondorf know what he was doing.]

Members of the Unseelie and Seelie courts. I have a warning for you. I, the Knight of the Lake, have been recruited to aid the Dryads of La Llorona in the defense of Fairy-held safe havens throughout the realm. As such, I will eliminate any enemy to them I come across. If you have information on those who threaten such realms, send messages to me. I will end such offenders.

That is all.

[Lancelot added a second message to Ganondorf, specifically.]

[PRIVATE/TEXT/TO: GANONDORF]

My lord. My true upbringing stems from the support of the fey. In this, I'm indebted to them to protect their lands and their well-being.

In this, I will be working to restore one of their Glens, so it may flourish in the wake of battles that had sundered it. Despite this, I will always be available for your sake. Please, do not hesitate to call upon my aid if necessary. My response will be ever swift.

[ lancelot do you have to do that ]

I can do that. Is there any sort of tree they'd like the most, do you think? Or any tree that they would like to see more of?

[ NOW SHE FEELS BAD THANKS ]

Also, I'm not really a gardener, but I want to have lots of plants there. If that, uh. Helps.

[Yes. Didn't you read the legend about Lancelot of the morose and lifeless stare?]

They would have no preference. Only that the tree have sun and touch the ground, itself.

[So, hire another interior decorator--]

It might be an opportunity, really. I cannot say personally how they would feel about potted plants, but beings of nature may view them the same as one would view a canary in a cage with clipped wings or a lion held in a zoo.

I can think of a few places that I could put trees, then.

[ In the towers, perhaps, and she can expand rooms on the sides so that even as she builds up, those trees have sun. ]

Oh, they wouldn't be potted! [ Said hastily. ] I just may need to find someone to help me take care of them at first, that's all.

[There was the slightest twitch at the corners of his lips. For a moment, it almost felt like Lancelot had flashed the slightest notion of a smile.]

I would suggest seeking them out. Nymphs are not typically violent, so you may be able to request that they help you in such an endeavor.

I imagine they would be delighted by a mortal opening themselves up over such a thing.

[ She's going to take it and run with it, tbh. If nothing else, he gets a smile in return. ]

I'm at the Station right now, to help a friend -- but when I return, I'll get started right away.

Do you know of any good ways to contact them?

[On that, Lancelot had to consider his answer.] They reached out to me. I suppose it's because I have the presence of fairies on me to begin with, but...

I would assume that beginning to plant a garden would make them curious. They seem think mortals are only capable of destroying, after all.

So, you may not even need to pursue them.

I suppose if they don't come to see, I can always ask you again.

[Lancelot would greatly appreciate that.]

Very well. Do not hesitate to ask, then.

[ oh you're going to regret that. ]

I won't.

So, to formally introduce myself, my lady--I am Lancelot of the Lake.

[ Hee. Medieval manners. ]

Ariadne.

[He was a master at them.]

A pleasure to meet you, Ariadne. As soon as I can, I will inform the Dryads of your presence.

If they contact you, let them know what you've told me. If they do not, I will do so, myself.

Thank you. I'll be away from there for a while longer -- I'm looking after a friend -- but I'll be back there as soon as I can.

Until then, I'm at the Station.

Very well, Lady Ariadne.

You'll hear from me.
