filled. King Elessar talks in riddles (and incidentally, I confirm Sador's real name)

All right- I have returned home, and I will try and get caught up on the story tonight or tomorrow.

Aldarion has exchanged words with Gloredhel and is prepared to trade pleasant greetings with the rest of the company, Ang. Consider him to tactfully guarded but not unfriendly, as he does not know which folks are up to what things etc. No reason to be impolite unless there is a clear reason to be, not to mention Aldarion misses going to fancy parties.

And I so love what you did with that Asta-Lúthien analogy. A jewel.

If nothing surprising happens in Coldan's absence, he'll be back in about ten minutes to report there is indeed a back door; it's locked, but that shouldn't be a problem.
(The clouds are obviously only there to prevent Asta's fireworks from burning down the house in an emergency; if they're not needed, they'll just pass on and shed their load later on Emyn Muil or wherever.)

PS. - Poor Cirdacil! And <3 King Elessar.

Your Elessar talks just like he would if Tolkien wrote that.

Kudos to Collie, Asta, and Harry! I love the rising action!

I'm still around, even though I didn't post for a whie. Thiliel is up for grabs (

) if anyone wants... Rollan, Sereth? If she turned around doesn't mean that she left.

Boro, do you have any thoughts about what Branor was doing all day? We can't really write for him unless we know what you want it to be.

It seems to me it would be only traditional (Shakwise) for Coldan to overhear, somehow, some part of what Sador said to Aerwen in the garden...preferably a section open to maximum misconstruction...

Anguirel · 06-07-2011, 07:03 PM

by the way this is the Burlach coat of arms (nicked off the ur-Burlach Cecil family...)

so that's what the servants not in swan livery will have; basically lots of little black and white lions...

Since Sador has given Aldarion a chance to have a brief chat with Gloredhel, I'm going to have the two of them go outside or near a window or something like that where Coldan or Asta or someone can give Aldarion some sort of "psst! Aldarion! what are you doing here?!" through the bushes or whatnot, and then Aldarion will respond and you can decide how they react. Sound okay?

the phantom · 06-08-2011, 11:07 AM

Okay! Post is up. Anyone wishing to spot Aldarion and flag him down- go ahead before he ends up back inside.

And ruin our fun in breaking in before we find him?

But why not, I'll give it a thought (unless Nerwen wants Asta to stumble into Aldy's and Glordhy's little tête-à-tête, which could be delightful).

But if you'd like Coldan to find you, do you think you or Ang could provide me with a very rough plan of Ecsichil's house and premises as you imagine them? I tried to piece it together from your post, but somehow my visualization fails me, and I'd rather not make Coldan walk through walls or get lost in non-Euclidean geometry if I can help it.

Oh, and it's a nice change to see Aldarion happy and light-hearted, if only briefly.

Outrageous indeed!!!

Fantastic!

Edit: I thought it would be helpful to have a visual representation of the Burlachs, based on Ang's post here. I think it's legible - as much as anything done on Paint could be.
