First Council

[lordofthevalley]

[The journal picks up quiet musings from someone as he talks, along with the sound of books being stacked on top of one another.]

You would think they would know better, it is not so difficult to put things back where they belong when they stand right next to the shelf. Though it would be more understandable if they would purchase something.

[Grumbley half-elf is grumbley. And a beat.] Unless someone changed the open sign to closed again. [Who does that, really?

Though after that the sound of a bell comes through and he's off to take care of whatever customer of his happens to have come in.

Later in the day however he can be found going from his book store out to various other places in the city, stopping for food or other small things one does after work.]

Comments

[fishy_go_byebye]

It's because they sorted by book cover.

[Martel is actually in town today, for some reason or another. She isn't paying much attention where she's walking in the streets, though, and has quite a few close calls before she finally bumps into Elrond.]

Oh, I'm so... [She trails off. Wait a minute. Pointed ears? Did she just run into an elf? How much trouble is she in?] Ah, sorry.

[lordofthevalley]

[Where did that come from? He looks around him at that voice.]

Why would they do such a thing? ANd where are you?

[lordofthevalley]

[Oh that's alright, because he wasn't paying much attention either and reaches out to steady her, even as he takes a step back.]

Things happen, and I apologize for not stepping aside. [And he's quick to hide the ears, because it's weird in town with them okay?] Something troubling you?

YAY Elrond, the grupiest elf ever!

[not_a_codfish]

[Hook is in town, scouting a location for his soon-to-be-built establishment. He realy should be looking where he is going and not at the buildings. He realy should see the tall half-elf he's about walk into... but he isn't and he doesn't...]

He really is man

[lordofthevalley]

[He would be taking this run in with an odd stranger better if it wasn't out of the blue while walking home. With a frown he steps away, staring at the man.] I am sorry for that, I didn't mean to walk into you sir.

Re: He really is man

[not_a_codfish]

[Hook takes a second to straiten his hat, then replies]

No, no my dear sir it is I who must apologies I...

[does this guy have pointed ears? Hook will never get used to this kind of crap...]

[heal_theworld]

Oh, you don't have to apologize for that! [Hiding his ears and the apology made her less fearful that she was about to get shouted down. But, he wasn't from her world, because she couldn't sense a mana signature. Then maybe he was from Galadriel's world? But she would have heard about that before this.]

Are you new here? I don't think I've ever seen you before.

[fishy_go_byebye]

In here in here~! Well... not in here, you'll think I'm in here does that make it the same thing as being in here?

dictated for now

[inafadingcrown]

[Wait. What? This was not a voice she was expecting to hear and certainly not speaking as if...he owned a shop?]

Lord Elrond?

B)

[lordofthevalley]

[Where is that coming from?]

I am no lord, and I would kindly ask you where you are.

[inafadingcrown]

You do not- [Of course he doesn't remember.]

There should be a small book nearby. [Oh, wait. It sounded like he was in a bookstore. That's probably not the most helpful.] A journal, of sorts.

[lordofthevalley]

In where? And no, if I do not know where you are.

[Still, looking.]

[lordofthevalley]

[The castle is horrible, as she'll learn eventually. But for now he shakes his head, raising an eyebrow in that very typical way of his.]

No,I have always lived here. Though the city is large, it's not unheard of for one to not know everyone that lives here. Where are you from?

[lordofthevalley]

[With a sigh he pulls his hair over his ears, do focus sir. Please.]

It is nothing then, neither of us were paying attention. May I ask as to why?

[lordofthevalley]

[No, no not really. Neither is journal as he happens to sell those as well, but it does at least get him to look back through his shelves.]

Why would a journal allow me to hear voices?

[inafadingcrown]

[At least it's slightly more specific!] Call it magic, if you will. I can explain it no better than you.

[lordofthevalley]

[Waitaminute.] Is this item, from the castle? [He sounds even less amused then before.]

[heal_theworld]

Oh, I'm from...the Castle. [Maybe she shouldn't have mentioned that... But since she has-] I didn't know the townspeople could be elves. or half-elves.

[lordofthevalley]

[No sadly as that gets a face out of him. Oh you Castle people :|] Half-elf. And I see no reason why this is a surprise.

[heal_theworld]

I just thought they were all humans, for some reason. I'm sorry. Oh, and I'm a half-elf too! [...Which really doesn't explain anything because...she didn't even know that there was a natural population of elves outside of the Castle.]

[lordofthevalley]

The majority are, don't worry. [No, it really doesn't and he has to tilt his head. Green hair. Okay.] A green-haired half-elf?

[inafadingcrown]

It is. [Even in these circumstances, she's not going to lie to him.]

[lordofthevalley]

[He'll appreciate that later, he really will for now he's going back to finding the journal.] Why should I believe you, then?

[inafadingcrown]

What reason have I to lie? [Answering a question with a question. Typical.]
