Do you have similar powers?

[ Though Obi-Wan hesitates to call using the Force a "power". ]

[bythewaves]

Similar, I suppose. My brother could speak to bird and beast, and I have seen him talk a wolf pack into hunting invdifferent areas before.

[beardstrokes]

I can't say I talk to them, though they understand me well enough. All living things are connected to the Living Force and as such, I can manipulate that to my will.

[bythewaves]

You have spoken of the Force before.

[ Maglor hums ] It does sound a lot like the Music.

[beardstrokes]

How so?

[bythewaves]

You have said that it permeates rverything, aye? The Music is everything.

[beardstrokes]

Music? . . . Really?

[bythewaves]

Not... music but... that is the closet word I have for it. The world sings - not in words, but... everything has it's note, it's song, in the Great Music of life. If one knows the Song, then one can... nudge it, a little.

[ Or a lot, depending coughGaladrielcough ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Huh. ]

Can you hear it now?

[bythewaves]

Aye. Although, I hear it clearer than most of my kin.

[beardstrokes]

What does it sound like?

[bythewaves]

Out here? Hard and sharp, pure and clear. It is...sleeping. Beneath the ice.

[ Maglor's voice dips and rises, following the echo of a sound that only he hears ]

The ice is strong, but the life here is stronger, finding ways to survive.

[beardstrokes]

[ He nods slowly at that. This planet lacks the haunting mystery of Ilum or the treacherous plains of Hoth, but they all hold something sharp and unique close to their chests.

In a manner of speaking. ]

It's best not to linger in this planet for too long lest we disrupt life here.

[bythewaves]

I think so too. [ Maglor hums softly ]

This world moves to it's own beat, it does not have space for us, the way some of the other worlds do.

[beardstrokes]

It's a feeling we have - we just know.

[ Though as a Jedi, he doesn't belong on any world. ]

[bythewaves]

Mm, like and unlike. [ Maglor nods ]

But I think... I think if you could hear it as I do, I do not think it would be dissimilar.

[beardstrokes]

I guess you could say the Force sings to me as well.

[bythewaves]

And so we are not that dissimilar, I think. [ Maglor smiles back ]

I wonder if we should venture further afield now, since the beast will not return.

[beardstrokes]

It might not be wise. Storms come quickly on planets like these ones and there's no way of predicting them.

[ The Force doesn't lend itself to weather patterns. ]

[bythewaves]

True... [ Maglor looks out over the landscape longingly ]

I do not hear any changes in the weather, but as you say, they can come on very swiftly. I suppose at the least we can return to the village and tell them that one problem, at least, is solved!

[beardstrokes]

You're really keen on traversing the plains, aren't you?

[ He's kind of amused by that. ]

[bythewaves]

I... was always curious. [ Maglor smiles shyly back ]

And this is a world I do not know.

[beardstrokes]

It's not a curiosity I see often. Especially on planets like these ones.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor shrugs wryly ]

My people have always had a reputation - earned! - for occasionally taking curiosity too far. And... well. I have never seen a world like this before.

[beardstrokes]

I wouldn't recommend it.

[ But Obi-Wan knows little when it comes to elves and their endurance. It's not as though they need a cloak and boots. ]

But you would fare better than I would.
