Elros here - I'm busy, but leave a message and I'll get back to you. If I don't, the dragon probably ate me or my ship sank. Oops. Please don't tell Elrond.

by sending crystal, a week after she left for kirkwall
Date: 2017-11-29 09:34 am (UTC)❰ aka, you have not called her ONCE after she left and she misses you but didn't want to say because what are feelings. also what if he was glad to be rid of her? better to just not say anything.
which is why she's here, saying something. adalia's not very good at hard to get. ❱

Date: 2017-11-29 10:12 am (UTC)Hm, I didn't did I? What parts were you wanting to know about?
no subject
Date: 2017-12-02 06:21 pm (UTC)❰ HOW!!! adalia messed with it almost as soon as she got it to figure it out! ❱
I mean, for starters, were the differences immediate and quantifiable, or have they been protracted and subtle? What exactly changed, and in what ways? And I suppose in order to answer these questions, you'll have to explain how elves and humans differ in your world, so I'll know the basis for comparison.
❰ does it sound like she's getting ready to do a science project or a research paper? oops. ❱

Date: 2017-12-04 01:37 am (UTC)[ Also, it looked like a palantir, so he figured it couldn't be THAT different and he could wait to play with it later? ]
Hah! You would get along with my brother, I think. Hm, most of them have been pretty subtle. Things you don't notice until you look back and go "oh hey". I stopped being able to hear the song of the world fairly slowly, and I can still hear Ulmo, but it's really hard to speak to the world now. The aging thing I've not noticed yet? But I mean, I'm still pretty young... for an elf. So I dunno how that's going to translate, human wise. I need more sleep - I noticed that pretty soon, and I can't go as long without food, either. Elrond said the elven-light went out in my eyes pretty much the minute I said so, but the twin bond is still strong, so that hasn't changed.

Date: 2017-12-06 08:59 am (UTC)❰ why is she so unreasonably fond of you, your bizarre creature
as elros speaks, adalia begins to write notes in her book, the scratch of her quill on the paper audible over the sending crystal, but that stops rather quickly, as she realizes how little she's going to understand, even when she finishes writing. ❱
I'm going to need definitions for a few of those things, ❰ she says drily, somewhat annoyed at her lack of understanding. ❱ Namely, "song of the world" and "Ulmo". Also elven-light, probably. Your elves are very different from my elves are very different from Thedosian elves.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-07 05:03 am (UTC)[ He grins back at her, all charming sincerity ]
Hah! I suppose they might be. Alright, well, the elven-light is the easiest thing - you've seen my kinsmen by now, yes? Ever notice that they glow? All elves do, although the Valinoreans are brighter, something something Light of the Trees... ask Maglor to tell you that part, it's really fun when he does it, because he was there to see them and can show you how they looked. It's something about how we Men are tied to our bodies, with the hroa, the physical, being the dominant part of our natures, but for elves, its the other way around, with the fea, the spirit or soul, being the more dominant. Quite literally, you're seeing the edges of their spirits spill out over the constraints of their flesh."

Date: 2017-12-30 12:22 pm (UTC)Will you take a walk with me today? I wish to claim part of your time for my own.

Date: 2018-01-02 03:18 am (UTC)"I asked if she could elaborate to me on their conquering, and nearly had my head bitten off. It does not speak well when one cannot even acknowledge their own people's defeat. You and Maglor taught me better! Call a spade a spade - call a kidnapping a kidnapping. You are my foster father, but you were also my jailor. I knew that, I acknowledged it. That's the only way to work through it, that's what I was taught. To act as if it never happened... tch. And worse, to explode at a stranger, simply because I am human? I don't have time for such histrionics. I chose mortality to get away from the politics of immortals. I have no interest in getting embroiled in it here."
action
Date: 2018-01-02 04:56 am (UTC)Beleth isn't alone in her reaction. He has met others who are equally emotional about the kindest of advice. Maedhros has decided to take none of it personally and simply do as he sees best.
"They are not immortal." he does not know their exact lifespan, but they are much more like Men than the Elves of Arda, "What you see are the politics of Elves mixed with the politics of Men, I fear. The worst of both worlds."
action
Date: 2018-01-02 05:06 am (UTC)"Aye, and with enough discrimination to make a Mumak sick. Treating their own people as if they're somehow worse, because they stay in human towns? Pfah. It's just like the War of Wrath again, with loss of life because no one would listen to the Doomed Sons of Feanor, never mind that you and Maglor had the best battle experience of everyone there! Or because no one would fight beside Cousin Celebrimbor and his men because oh no, how terrible, they foreswore their lords, those kinslayers. Bah. Even the Easterlings stop fighting each other if you give them a common enemy to hate!"

crystal; during phase 3.
Date: 2018-02-03 09:20 am (UTC)Elros. I—
( Why was she getting in touch, again? )
How have you been faring? I know these past couple of weeks have been very strange.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-03 02:59 pm (UTC)[ Still blue. But more energetic, now ]
Could be better. Could be worse. Yourself?

Date: 2018-02-03 10:56 pm (UTC)( It is frustrating in no small way to be completely and utterly inept in the art of healing. Her abilities are limited to keeping pressure on wounds and making soothing cups of tea, patchy memories of flowers and their uses from her childhood. )
I was speaking to—
( Who was she speaking to? She exhales, unable to remember the name, and confused by her own lack of memory. ) someone, they mentioned that sickness was unusual for you and your kin. I am no healer, but if there's anything else I can do to make this a little easier, let me know.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-04 02:21 am (UTC)Elros grins wryly.
"I don't get sick often but when I do it tends to be dramatic. Are you well yourself? I...am restless again. Talk me out of going to sea in an unfinished boat?"

from my limited understanding of seagoing vessels, they've a tendency to sink when not fully finished.
( Is she being funny? Is she totally serious? It's so hard to say. )
no subject
Date: 2018-02-04 11:36 am (UTC)That's a good point. I'm just... I haven't put out to sea in so long.
[ He sighs ]
You're alright though? I was told it's only affecting Rifters but... I'd rather not spread it, if that's not the case.
