Who: Leto + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: N/A
When:

[ The video flickers on to Leto sitting on his bed, kicking his legs briefly. He grins when the video starts recording, pushing himself onto his feet. He tilts his head, that odd bird-like movement he often exhibits. ]

I have heard some interesting things of late, so I thought I'd put the question to you all. When you fall in love, can you only love one person? Can you fall in love with multiple people? Is love something you find yourself stopping after just one?

Your thanks hold no meaning here. There is no need.

[ Still, she turns her head to one side, a little pinked. ]

No, but perhaps there is reason enough to be thankful for a little change.

Reason enough.

[ Lauralae watches him before she turns away, considering. ]

Then be thankful, though it means little to me.

[ He laughs softly. ]

I shall be.

[ Her eyes scrutinise him for a moment. ]

Are you like this with all that you meet?

I could not say. That question is best left to those who have met me.

[ Leto is a chameleon, for all his steadiness. He works with perceptions and changes himself to suit his needs or the needs of others. ]

I will not waste my time questioning your fellows. I will simply learn for myself.

[ Not that she intends to stalk him; simply observe. ]

As you wish.

You accept things very easily.

You are old, Lauralae. But I am much, much older. That makes it easier for me.

I am young in the terms of what I once was. [ In the eyes of the elven people she is barely into her adulthood; only her experiences have truly aged her. ] I have many centuries to be wise.

Is that what you would like to be? Wise?

Perhaps. Wise, or knowledgeable, so that I might repair things.

[ Namely: herself. ]

I hope such knowledge comes to you soon.

Only my Lord can tell such. I must wait to see if the knowledge can come to me.

Knowledge does not simply come when beckoned.

It does when there is none to be found on the mortal world and the Gods keep it all.

[ He sighs. ]

But we are no longer in that world.

That does not mean I shall forget what knowledge he may offer me. Even if I will learn from this.

And no one would ask you to. Our worlds are a part of us. But we can also be more.

More than our worlds. [ She considers for a moment, watching him for a moment before she bows her head. ] Perhaps it is so.

[ He eyes her, amusement in his eyes. Though it does not seem to be that he's laughing at her. ]

Sadly all I can offer are words in the wind.

That is what most words are. They are idle and come and go, forgotten as a day begins anew.

[ She can't help the way that she goes a little guarded, watching him intensely. ]

Then what words do you treasure? For there are some that mean something to you.

No. There are none, for all meaning has been lost or taken from me.

[ Once, it might have been love, or home, or family, or the names that are twined with those thoughts. Now, it is nothing, nothing but barren feeling. ]
