Kalir wondered what Ajada wrote so fervently on the paper that she carried around with her, but he figured it best not to ask. It seemed that all the girl did was come up with conspiracy theories, as she hinted out loud. Anyway, Kalir was much more engrossed with LinGalad. This Elf nearly made Kalir forget his infatuation with the fair kindred through his lack of social ability. LinGalad brought to Kalir a new belief that Elves were just as fallible as Men.

Kalir saw Ajada suddenly look at LinGalad and give a horrible scowl. She did not look away for some time, so Kalir decided to comment on the situation.

"LinGalad, your lover wants a word with you. At least it appears that way," Kalir said, nodding to Ajada.

"Lover? Her? But Ka-" LinGalad began.

"I was making a joke," Kalir quickly broke in. He turned to Ajada, "What shall you write about that, fair one?"

Ajada's scowl deepened and she started scribbling like mad on her paper, muttering undistinguishable words under her breath as her pen scratched away. She wrote so furiously that the tip of her quill broke. Kalir tried to keep from laughing to no avail as he watched her try to find another quill, then set about writing again. She shot him a scowl then went back to her note-taking.

Kalir, still chuckling, turned back to LinGalad. He was beginning to relax a bit in the new company, as he was finding out that they were nearly as quirky as he was, if not more so.

"You could have some great fun playing with that girl's mind," Kalir said, catching his breath after laughing. He raised his voice a bit, just to be sure that Ajada would hear his next comment, "You know what I like about these places? You can pick a new identity. You can be whatever person you want to be. No one knows if you are lying or not."

He looked over at Ajada, who, with a shocked expression, was still scratching away at the paper. She had begun to breathe heavily with this new-found excitement. He looked back at LinGalad, who looked quite confused at Kalir's words.

"You are not who you say you are?" LinGalad asked.

"No, my friend, I am," Kalir said, "But she," he continued, pointing to Ajada, "Does not need to know that. Nor does she want to, it seems. So," Kalir said, turning more serious, "Can you tell me any interesting tales of your homeland?"
