Ahahahaha.

Nerwen - nice way of handling the thous and thees but I'm quite sure Sereth will develop quite a disliking towards Asta before this game is over.

Gosh, that post got long and longer. I had intended to make two of it and give you time to let Harrenon make his report inbetween, Dim, but then youprovided the perfect clue for what Coldan had been going to suggest. I could kiss you! And I promise as soon as the Éowyn business is settled somehow, Collie will shut up and stop interfering.

By the way, Nerwen - I don't know your thoughts about the Coldan-Asta-plotline, and I'm content to let you surprise me, but just to avoid misunderstandings, I'm not sure it needs to be fully resolved at all, nor necessarily by a romantic happy end. (Just saying, I don't think you really need me to tell you that.) Let's just find out what happens.

So, would one of you, upon Aldarion's return, be sure and pass along what Coldan said to Asta- "but it's not my fault she never existed, nor is it my fault zat Aldarion got zat wrong in the first place". (I believe Harrenon, Brinn, Therian, and Branor were all somewhere around?)

I want Aldarion to be told so that he can start some sort of conflict with Coldan (shout at him, or embarrass him in front of Asta, or threaten him or something), because Aldarion will be ticked when he is credited for screwing up a drama that he wasn't the writer of, especially since (as he has expressed) he thinks it is suicide to perform such a recent drama. As far as making it logical to report the words to Aldarion- perhaps if someone wishes for Coldan's part to be diminished in favor of their part or something maybe? I don't care what the motive is.

I'm waiting for Aldarion go off on his own so Vëandur can criticize his choice of careers.

Indeed. I think she might be somewhat mollified by the Eowyn offer, though.

I'd volunteer Asta herself, but it seems to me this will work better dramatically if she's started to forgive Coldan at this point.

As for the others– well, I doubt any of them would be desperate to take over his role, since he only he only plays bit parts, and anyway I think there's quite enough intriguing going on at the moment. However, I can imagine Therian or Branor saying it to make trouble.

Fea? Boro?

Aldarion's up in the third circle now and will soon be making a quick trip up to the fifth level before returning to the inn.

I wasn't planning on detailing his interactions as they happened (the conversations that take place within the house), but rather I planned to give a report to Brinn upon my return, so don't worry about interrupting my storyline. You are welcome to go ahead and have your character bump into Aldarion as he is on his way up to the fifth circle.

I'm sure Bran and Therian can stir up some trouble if Aldarion is looking to steam off. That appears to be their specialty which has me wondering, how can anyone stand those two?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'd rather it not be Therian who does it. He's a bit self absorbed, but the only trouble he makes on purpose is with/at Branor, and pretty much only because that's fun.

Well, then, how about it, Boro? There's some fine opportunities for melodrama there!

By all means!

Right you are! Poor guy can't be blamed for the crimes of his author, can he?
