[His cloak is missing, that's the first thing he notices. And it annoys him, that was a good cloak, very comfortable, very warm. The next thing he remember is that he had just killed the Guardian, which makes him roll onto the floor in a panic (knocking the communicator down and on) and try to find a mirror to double check his eyes.

Once he's reassured that there's no green glow lingering, he heaves a sigh of relief. And turns his focus to the communicator. Which... he knows how it works? And picks it up.]

I can't be here. I have things to do, people depending on me! [Kind of.] There's a war and-

I need to get back to my friends! They need me!

[action]

[He wanders because of course he does. Khadgar has found himself in a strange place, subject to the whims of whoever or whatever was responsible for his and everyone else being there. He wanted to know whatever he can, carefully keeping a couple spells at the edge of his thoughts in case someone tries to attack him.

Eventually he stops to take in the view of the stars, somehow looking much younger than he really is as he looks out. And suddenly feeling very small.]

I guess as long as you don't mind...

[Tiniest shrug. And super grateful he doesn't have to deal with that.]

It is all I know. [ Maglor smiles at him ] A part of me so intrinsic that to contemplate life without it is unthinkable.

Re: [video]

[touchallthebooks]

I can't even imagine living with something like that.

[video]

[bythewaves]

My kinsfolk tell me the same, but I truly know no other way to be. But thank you for your concern.

Re: [video]

[touchallthebooks]

There's no one else that hears things like you?

[video]

[bythewaves]

Not... quite the way I do.

[ Maglor hums thoughtfully ] Although the Valar once told me I 'hear' very much like them. But my Arafinwean cousins have great skills in this area too. Finrod probably can hear quite a bit, if he cares to listen, and I am sure his sister Galadriel also.

[video]

[touchallthebooks]

What are the Valar exactly?

[He needs to have a notebook.]

[video]

[bythewaves]

The best description would be that they are the Powers of the World - that is to they are both those who built it, and also who sustain it.

[video]

[touchallthebooks]

Oh, that's easier to understand. I wish I had my notebook but... ah, the Guardian kind of burnt it. And I didn't have a chance to get a new one before ending up here.

I don't suppose you'd be willing to tell me again sometime, if I forget something?

Books you can find - although they seem to perfer this... "electronic" record keeping. The Iskaluit has some, though.

And of course - a bard lives to tell his people's tales, after all.

Re: [video]

[touchallthebooks]

[Khadgar chuckles softly.] I prefer writing my own notes to... these kinds of things.

I appreciate that.

[video]

[bythewaves]

As do I - although I suppose they have their uses.

And tis no trouble, truly.

[video]

[touchallthebooks]

Some uses, I can't disagree. I'll just take pen to paper instead though.

[video]

[bythewaves]

Agreed! Though I confess confusion with pen instead of quill, at first.

[video]

[touchallthebooks]

I prefer quills but gnomes get creative. Too creative. I'll stick with quills.

[video]

[bythewaves]

They are useful. Less messy. [ Maglor hums ] But there is something comforting about the old ways.

Re: [video]

[touchallthebooks]

And harder to lose, probably. I usually keep my books and notes with me.

[video]

[bythewaves]

Perhaps! I had a tendency to misplace many of my smaller items - I do not think quill or pen would make a difference, in that regard.

[video]

[touchallthebooks]

Probably not. So long as I have my notes, I'll adjust either way.

[video]

[bythewaves]

Then I think you will do fine. [ Maglor smiles, and kindly does not say "especially now you've stopped panicking" ]

[video]

[touchallthebooks]

[Rude.]

Hopefully, anyway.

[video]

[bythewaves]

[ Hey he didn't say it, did he? ]

Well, I think so, in any case. As I said - folk here are generally quite accomodating. Do not fear to ask!

Re: [video]

[touchallthebooks]

I'm not afraid of asking things. That's how people learn.

[video]

[bythewaves]

Then you will do well, I think.

[video]

[touchallthebooks]

I'm certainly going to try. Thanks.
