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.

That's no excuse!

❰ 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.

It is most certainly an excuse!

[ 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."
