Your name is Hiccup? [ He doesn't laugh, but a wicked grin cuts across his face and he certainly isn't going to leave that one alone for long. ] Never mind. Do you even know where your room is yet, Mr. Intrepid Explorer?

[bythewaves]

[ the left is only minor burns, as compared to the right, so Maglor draws the hunting knife instead and glares ]

What concern is it of yours Shadow-beast?

[bythewaves]

It might have been easier, but Maglor is stubborn - and when have any of them ever done things the easy way?

He thumps his brother weakly and snorts. "Yes. So do not do that to me again. Or this time I will hunt you down from Mandos' halls myself."

[glacio]

I glow with grace, and poise.

[ she's not even throwing ice down in front of her at this point, letting it appear under her feet with each gliding step. but it's only because she's too busy watching him fly. and maybe it makes her smile, the snow, because how could it not? but he keeps teasing her and maybe she's a little sensitive, because she feels herself getting huffy, despite the fact that she really doesn't want to be. huffy in a childish way, though. ]

And no, I can't fly. [ you little brat. she scrunches her nose up at him, twirling her fingers through the air just to send some of those snowflakes back his way. ] I'm supposed to just trust you to pull me along without being reckless? I'm not sure we're there just yet.

thank god i took a shower this morning

[overdraws]

[ Allison smirks, too, glancing over at the redhead. ] Way better. To be honest, I'm kind of mad the bestiary doesn't have anything on faeries that I can find. There really isn't even anything on banshees, like you. [ Her face falls, a little, as she looks back out to the crowd of people and non people around them. It's a sea of clothing and hairstyles she both recognizes and doesn't, food that looks familiar but isn't, people that just look off. It leaves an unsettled feeling in her gut. She is, at least, grateful that it's not the same culture shock she got when she learned about werewolves. But then again, having as many violent wakeup calls over the past sixth months as she's had has probably numbed her to it. ] I'm kind of in the dark, you know? It's a little overwhelming.

[windowpain]

[ "Are you alone - too?"

Despair has eaten away at him, all these weeks at the Rainsworth estate, and the few days here in this strange land. Here, at least, no one will notice if he's gone. No more of Lady Shelly's fond entreaties and teasing, indefatigable in the task of trying to cheer him. No more of her child, her little daughter, staring at him with wide eyes and unexpectedly giving him nosegays (making him weep again, when she'd gone out of hearing).

He will do himself and the world a favor, he'd just decided, when...

"Don't leave me, Kevin," rings in his ears, a small girl's plaintive cry. ]

You are on your own.

We must..... must find you a proper protector.

[breadmaking]

[HUFF. Even if he's told to never mind, Hiccup gets the feeling the topic is going to come back up at some point. He folds his arms over his chest, but the annoyed look he's trying now more or less fails at that question.

A glance from side to side, trying to spare himself some time, he does his best to come up with a way to give the answer that doesn't sound embarrassing.]

Well-- No. Not yet. But I'm working my way there! It...can't be that hard to find. I'm sure.

[Don't judge him okay, geez.]

he's the worst, good god

[breadmaking]

[Oh, thank the gods, he didn't offend her. The relief he feels when she laughs instead of, say, punches him is so immense, it quite literally looks like a weight's been lifted off his shoulders. A smile of his own spreads, along with a brief sigh.]

They sound...interesting. [Wow was that a wink? Uhm, that earns some extra nervousness and even an awkward half-laugh.] It's, uh-- It's nice to meet you. Ginny? I'm Hiccup.

[He totally knows how to talk to girls, yep.]

[icy]

[ Shifty McShifterson is clearly the most subtle boy to have ever lived. ]

Or maybe you want to end up in the girls' wing, so you can say you "got lost".

[ There's so much to tease him about, where to start. ]

falls over

[rapunzelf]

[Elves have long memories and do not forget, so as she turns to him she considers that he looks slightly familiar - the hair in particular is memorable, because so few elves are blond. But he is different in both dress and mannerisms, and after all, they'd never been true acquaintances. She examines his crown curiously as she turns in his direction.]

Yes, certainly, my Lord. However, only if you provide me with your name.

[Conversation would be much harder without it, of course, but she laid the condition with laughing eyes.]

[rekhyt]

[It stretched luxuriously, fur like mist blending into the darkness.]

Judging things by their appearance, are you? That's a mistake, here. Anywhere, actually, but it's something that most people seem set on doing.

Oh, no concern of mine, actually. I just happened to see you getting dragged in and figured I'd stick around. It's also some of the friendliest advice you're likely to get in the near future, though obviously I can't make you take it.

[firith]

Thranduil of Eryn Lasgalen and Elvenking thereof for some time.

[ His smile is small but answers that coaxing mirth readily. Elves are rather few in numbers here, so he could say that is the only reason for his approach but would rather not. Drawing up nearby, he inclines his chin in a nod that gives way to a sliver of his thoughts. ]

You are the daughter of King Greymantle, unless my eyes are cheated by some spell.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor watches, wary and cautious - this is an unfamiliar place, and he is injured, heartsick and weary - but he has no wish to die, yet ]

What else am I to judge on, stranger?

[ Manners, Makalaure hums a whisper in his mind - the voices have been getting louder, lately ]

Although I thank you for the warning, I suppose.

[rapunzelf]

[She's puzzled more than startled, for his crown had given some warning of his status. But that did not altogether make sense with the flash of familiarity he had. Maybe it was a mistake, but it was odd.]

Elvenking, you say. I had thought I knew all those who claimed that title, by name if not by face. But I have stayed very near to my home all my life, and I suppose it is not surprising that the king of a land I have never heard of should be unfamiliar to me. You must forgive me my ignorance and educate me, if you can.

[She smiles more at his smile, but is more surprised at his words. Maybe she does know him.]

Yes, I am she - but as we have never met, allow me to introduce myself properly. I am Lúthien, the daughter of Elu Thingol and Melian. I confess I am not sure how it is you know me when I have not heard of you, sir.

[She inclines her head and sinks into a small, neat bow. Not too deep, for she was the daughter of a king, but as a king himself he would demand some respect.]

[rekhyt]

I'd suggest not trusting anyone until you got to know them, if there's really no other way you can get along, but take me, for example.

[And with that the cat shadow thing turns into a tall, handsome young man with six shimmering white wings, two pairs folded and one extended. His eyes are golden and far-seeing, his skin glows golden, his dark hair lays heavy on his shoulders, a collar and strings of lapis lazuli lie against his neck and chest. His face is kind, and distant, but his expression is vaguely bored.]

I can look like this - or anything else you care to name - just as easily. This particular form isn't one I've actively used for a few thousand years, but hey, you look like you're in more or less the same boat, so why not?

[firith]

[ But I have stayed very near to my home all my life. It is upon hearing that he decides to hold the wealth of too many events, in the interim of her life ending until he received his father's crown, to himself. He can hardly imagine how he would phrase them, in any case, and to lay more cares on her shoulders than she will undoubtedly find herself burdened with is beyond him. ]

You show me no ignorance, I assure you. [ Looking to be in the flower of health as she is, his own bow is of a similar nature, respectful within their ranks. Of no great noble line is he, an Elvenking of necessity, but all the same deserving of what he has earned the right to call his over the long and arduous years. ] Menegroth was my home. I was but a humble huntsman in my youth, my Lady, who served your father in Doriath gladly.

[dualizing]

[ There's a grin on her face as she watches, and by the end she's releasing her grip on the doorframe so she can hover closer. It's not a proper introduction if she doesn't hold out her hand to shake. She wouldn't dream of being unfriendly now! ]

My name's NiGHTS. You're right, I'm not a pixie. Not even close. And I don't have any pixie dust, either. But... I can help you fly, if you'd like.

[rapunzelf]

[That statement only serves to confuse her further.]

And you left, it seems. But here is another reason I would have thought to know you.

so apparently this is cr I never knew I wanted?

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor recoils instinctively when the form shifts - the only ones he has ever known to be able to do such are the Ainur. This being has none of the compressed power Maglor associates with them, but there is something about him abyway. Curiosity manages to spark beneath the wariness and pain ]

It might be said stranger, that there is no way of trusting anyone until there is at least some minimal knowledge of each other. Who are you, stranger, who wears many faces?

[breadmaking]

What?!

[He doesn't really look like the kind of person who would do that, does he???]

No! No no no no, that's not it at all! [Shaking his head and waving his arms vehemently, he's doing his best to deny without accidentally overdoing it.] Absolutely not! Who even does that sort of thing, that's just...not cool.

[firith]

I did not speak with you. I could not have known your mind, even if you had wished me to.

[ He's not altogether convinced his younger self wouldn't have smacked his forehead off the ground, so quick would he have been to bow to her and get his muddy cloak out of the way. ]

[13th_member]

[Roxas takes her hand in a firm grip, but her offer is what really makes his smile shine bright. His excitement is hard to contain. Gliding is so different from flying that it doesn't even compare.]

Sounds great! If it only involves believing, I've got that down, but I'm a quick learner either way.

[Lessons time, go! He's totally ready.]

[icy]

[ SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER #1. Sagely, Jack twirls his staff over a shoulder and clucks his tongue. ]

Skulking around the corridors like this, some people might get the wrong idea. I'm just saying.

[ In which Hiccup becomes Enemy of the State for ever having had the misfortune of walking into Jack. ]

[deathdiduspart]

[The amusement is still there, but it's gone after a moment. He shrugs in response.]

You're in a world full of fairies, dwarves, and elves. What did you expect?

[redsea]

[ Whatever he's been through, she has no clue, but when he decides something on his own, she clasps her hands together and brings them close to her chest as she leans in. ]

Oh, no, I don't need someone to protect me. [ Was it the crying? She rubs her eyes until she's sure they're dry. Besides, by the way things look, it seems that he's the one who needs protecting. ] I can do that on my own... for the most part. [ She's aware that she's strong, but survival in the wilderness is another matter.

Kougyoku isn't sure if he'd oblige, so she hesitates before she makes this request. ]

But I would... appreciate, the company. If you'd be so kind. I cannot find my attendants anywhere, and the way to Caer Glaem is rather far.
