Who: Maedhros
Broadcast: Fleetwide~
Action: On the S.S. Huntress.
When: Friday morning.

The best secrets are never told; they are buried down deep and killed before they reach the lips.

(His family has many such secrets and he has added a vault or two of his own to them. He also knows the power of denial. A secret can't hurt if you believe it isn't real.)

I am experienced with secrets and lies. There are not any that could hurt me now. However...

Those rumors relating to my family shall do them no harm. If they were heard, you will forget them.

(There is a steely glint to his eyes now; threatening, mad.)

Experience does though. So from experience, take my advise and try not to encourage these rumors. They exist to get a reaction and you gave them one.

[castintoflames]

It is done. You needn't repeat yourself. (He sighs and looks...slightly repentant. Slightly.) What may I call you, lady?

video

[musicalhost]

[Good. He seems like he's hard to get through.] I'm Ezri Dax.

video

[castintoflames]

(He internalizes much, but yes, he is very hard-headed.) Well met, Lady Ezri Dax. I am Maedhros.

[Wait- lady? What?]

Oh no, just Ezri. I'm no lady.

video

[castintoflames]

It is a courtesy only. The world from which I hail is perhaps antiquated. (That and he is antiquated too.)

Re: video

[musicalhost]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that but it feels... strange to be called 'lady' honestly.

video

[castintoflames]

Only because you are not accustomed to it. I have been called many titles and so there are not many that would shock me. (King, Lord, General...)

Re: video

[musicalhost]

I'm more used to being called 'Lieutenant' if anything.

video

[castintoflames]

Lieutenant, hm? So you have military experience?

video

[musicalhost]

Kind of. I've been a member of Starfleet a few times now and even though we're primarily focused on exploration, having a chain of command is necessary.

video

[castintoflames]

Indeed. I cannot imagine exploring any unknown lands or territories without a chain of command. (One cannot expect anything but disorder and possible tragedy otherwise.)

My people would respect your experience.

video

[musicalhost]

No, especially when some encounters don't always go peacefully. We're not military but we've all got combat training and preparation.

I hope I won't need it.

video

[castintoflames]

Despite our difficulties - and I have seen some magnificent creatures - we have been lucky. The worst that befell my ship happened during the raids.

video

[musicalhost]

I'm glad to hear that. Is that here or where ever home is?

video

[castintoflames]

Here. We do not travel on ships on Arda - unless you are speaking of the sort that sail on water.

video

[musicalhost]

You never know what you'll find in space or on other worlds, it's hard to tell.

video

[castintoflames]

That is true. I can assure you my world is both fantastical and primitive compared to others.

video

[musicalhost]

I wish I could see it. Although, I suppose I would need a bit of cosmetic work.

video

[castintoflames]

Cosmetic work? What do you mean?

video

[musicalhost]

I may be wrong, but you don't have spots like I do. Unless you're unique among your people. And I have very rounded ears.

video

[castintoflames]

You needn't change your appearance. There are many races on Arda; Elves are but one.

video

[musicalhost]

My spots won't stand out?

video

[castintoflames]

Oh they might, but should anyone comment, I will silence them personally.

video

[musicalhost]

[If she knew just what that could mean, she wouldn't be laughing softly now.]

My own knight in shining armor.
