The Tears of the Wind

[Ledreanne313]

Along the Nimrodel lay a small little inn. With silver walls and marble floors, and three stables behind. A silver fence surrounds the grassy field in front. In the field stood grazing twelve horses. On the tall door was a sign that read ‘The Tears of the Wind inn’ in the common tongue. The first room had many silver tables with beautiful silver chair with black seats. In the back stood a high counter (with stairs for shorter guests). On the wall, in black metal vines, hung candles with green glass coverings that made the room glow green. Behind the counter stood Ledreanne, an Elf maiden of Eryn Lasgalen. She owns this inn with her family and with a dear friend, Serendi. Next the counter was a door, which led to rooms for all sizes. In that room (which is known as the lounge) was a small stage for singing and dancing, which the family did much of. They also served food and drink in the ‘lounge’:

Menus:
Drinks-
-water
-Fruit Juice

Horses stay for free. Food and drink is free with a stay at the inn, which is low cost.
The inn is now open, all races welcome!

[YayGollum]

A short and pretty hairy looking Beorning wearing a very hodge-podge set of armour and a raven on his shoulder stomps in. A giant eagle hops in after him. They both grab chairs, the giant eagle balancing on two. The Beorning looks around for the service and when his eyes land on the elf lady, he rolls them all over the place. "We'll have a couple of v&fs over here, lady!" He then leans over to the giant eagle and quietly says, "Why are elves everywhere?" The giant eagle ignores the question and keeps staring at the chairs. "Now these would look good up in an eyrie!"

[Sarah]

A tall, slim woman with curley dark red hair walks in and looks around. Seeing only the bartender, a Beorning and an eagle, the woman sits at an empty table. "I'll have a red wine" she says to the bartender. And she sits, and waits...

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne watches as the 2 guests enter. 'I'm sorry, my lord, what was that you wanted?' And looking to the tall maiden 'Mae Govannen. Oh, I mean, Welcome!' Then another elf comes out from behind the counter. 'Imtary, will you please get this fair woman a wine?' 'Sure, Anne.' Then he calls 'Silamenn, someone has arrived.' Then out comes another, very tall and fair. Then looking to the guests says 'Do you have any horses to take to the stables?'

OOC: Thanks! You don't have to stay long if you don't want to though!, Yay.

[Sarah]

The woman recieves her wine with a "thank you" and continues to observe the goings on around her.

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne looks to the maiden. Then calls 'Linialanor!' Out comes her small, petite sister, Linialanor. 'Will you not play your lyre for our fine guests?' Then she takes out her lyre and goes on the stage and plays a merry tune while dancing about. Then Ledreanne starts to clap her hands to the beat and mummbling some song in her own language.

[YayGollum]

OOC: I don't commit to threads, then give up on them for no good reason, lady. I'll stick around.

IC: The Beorning turns to the lady talking to him and says with annoyance, "We asked for a couple of v&fs. Those are made of vodka and bits of raw fish. It's a Beorning specialty. You've never heard of it? I hope you have the ingredients. Oh, and I already put my horse in the stable. Is that alright? I didn't see anyone back there to do it for me."

The giant eagle looks around at all of the little ladies that are suddenly appearing. "I'm getting hungry! Do you have anything still alive back there for me? I'd like a lamb, if you have one."

[Ledreanne313]

'I am sorry, my lord, I have never heard it. And I do not think that we have the ingedience...well, we have fish, yet...um...none of that Vodka you speak of. I am terribely Sorry, Lord.' She says. 'Well, we have a basket of fish... would you be wanting some?' She asks the Eagle. She goes back behind the counter and does other things then returns and stands around, toying with some silver chains on her arm. She does not know really what to do. Then looking to the guests and says, difficult to understand for her accent 'And where be your dwellings, my Lord and Lady? Do you live nearby? For I come from Eryn Lasgalen, the woodland realm also known as...Mirkwood when there was a shadow.' She looked down and seemed very sad by mentioning 'Mirkwood' 'I am terribely sorry for my...thick accent. For I am not used to the common tounge. I am adapting fast though. I am still building my vocabulary.'

OOC: Thanks For Sticking Around, my Lord!

[MrsElijahWood]

A tall, fair elf maiden walks in and looks around at the inhabbitants. She is dressed in dark plum with a lavender cloak brushed with jewels. Her dark hair is swept up in a comb of amethysts, her eyes are a shocking violet. She has a most strange companion, at her feet stands a halfling. The hobbit sits down and says "I'll just 'ave an ale, and the lady would like white wine" He gets out his pipe and begins to smoke pipeweed. The fair lady sits but still is silent.

[Ledreanne313]

'Mae Govan... Welcome' She says, still trying not to use her elvish, slipped once again. 'Welcome, Lord and Lady. An ale? All right. I think we may have some. Oh, I am sorry my lady, yet we do not have any white wine at the moment. How about red?' She said.

[YayGollum]

OOC: Ack! Ick. No titles for me, thanks!

IC: Truor sighs and grumbles to himself a little, then tugs on the lady's arm to get her attention. "Fine. Bring us some fish. I hope they're alive for Knockondor here. If you don't have v&f, just bring us something else. Your choice. The specialty of the house, if you have one."

While Truor grumbles to himself some more, Knockondor hops off the chairs he was on and strikes a fearsome pose. "I am Knockondor, from the northern Misty Mountains! My father is the lord there! We're always eating the orcs there to keep the trails safe for little people like you! Thank me! Oh, and this is King Truor Tupnm of the Vale of Anduin! I practically raised the guy!"

[MrsElijahWood]

the hobbit looks up at the woman, "yeah that'd be fine, thanks" The elf woman slightly nods her head and finally says in the common tounge, "Thank you, kind Lady" her voice is deep and rich, with firm power but also a feminine touch.

[Ledreanne313]

OOC: What do you mean by that?

IC: She looks at everyone around her, seeming to ponder about things (which she does often, always thinks). 'All right. So an Ale, red wine, and... let us make it a... well, my lord, we have many drinks. I will order you a... fruit wine, strawberry! My favorite personally! Is that fine?' She asked Truor. 'Imtary!' SHe called and he came out once more. 'Will you please get an ale, if we have some, a wine, and a strawberry wine. Thank You.' He came over and handed her the wine for the other lady. 'Here you are! Enjoy, my fair maiden.' He said in a merry voice. Then he returned to the back. Ledreanne noticed the large eagle. 'Well then, Knockondor, Welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay.' She was quite entertained by the eagle and wanted to know more of him. 'So, from the Misty Mountains are you? Wonderful mountains. Alas! yet have been overcome with shadow underneath there pure, white snow. How terrible.' She said looking out into the distance with a very sorrowful look. 'Enough of the evil now,' She said shaking her head a little to conseal the grief. 'Son of the lord! How magnifecent! You are a lovely bird! So beautiful...or shall I say handsom!' She said stroking the bird's soft head with her gentle, pale hand. 'You see, I just learned the common tougne, and I am not yet very well with it. And Knowckondor is such a... un-elvish word. I have no other way to discribing it. So..may I call you Vanaawä?' She asked nervously, hoping that he would say yes.

[YayGollum]

Truor nods and waves distractedly. "And don't forget the fish."

Knockondor fluffs his feathers with all kinds of pride when she flatters him, but pulls away from the lady's hand. "Hey, don't call me some crazy name like that, lady! Knockondor's my name! What's that other thing supposed to mean, anyways?"

OOC: Knockondor, making fun of Thorondor?

[Ledreanne313]

OOC: I have no idea of what you apeak of!

IC: 'All right. Knockondor I will call you.' She said laughing and say the name very 'chopy'. 'Vanaawä mean 'beautiful bird'. Well, Knock-On-Dor.'She said slowly. 'Do you have a pet name?' *pet meaning nickname* 'Oh yes. Fish for you.' She said refering to Knockondor. 'How many? One..Two? And yes, the are alive!'

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi, the eastern looking wizard who also owned the inn ran down the stairs and caught her breath. She placed an oil lamp on each table and then lit each one. Feeling a bit foolish, she slinked back over to Ledreane and asked" áva sangamma hanyamëoisnya?".

[Ledreanne313]

'Úsi! Pedhain!' She replied. 'This is Serendi, the other owner. A wizard...' She introduced the fair lady, dressed in all purple.

[VioletFalcon129]

"Welcome to our inn!" serendi said warmly in a acent almost as heavily elvish as Ledreane's ( it sounds nice too! ha ha ha)." I may warn you of my cats and kittens that are around this place. They woun't harm you, but they may startle you if you don't watch." I hope you enjoy yourselves." she fineshed happily. And then she went into the kitchen.

[Ledreanne313]

'Si, Ithicara!' She called and one little pure black kitten leaps over. 'I hope you like cats. I will put them upstairs if you are not.' She said to the guests. 'Serendi! ithicara le mereth!' She called back to her. Then she put the kitten down and it walked into the kitchen. Ledreanne smiled. 'Oh yes, I have your fish to retrieve. I will come back...Knock...ondor.' She said, still getting used to his name. She walked over the slow, clumsy kit into the kitchen and came out with a basket of three large fish, still wet and alive. 'Here you are! Enjoy!' She said, and walked back behind the counter.

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi got a bowl of fish chowder, and gave it to Ledreanne. I hope she enjoys her food." she siad and returned to the kichen again to redecorate the soup kettle...

[YayGollum]

OOC: Oh, Whoops! By no titles, I mean ---> Ick. Why call poor Smeagol a lord? Anyways, that Knockondor, making fun of Thorondor was me explaining why he has that name. Thorondor is some giant eagle character from The Sil. oh well. sorry about that. Also, Ack! Do you really expect me to go find crazy ways to translate what you people are saying?

IC: Truor grabs one of the crazy fish, but looks up to the wizard lady before taking a bite out of the thing. "Ah, excuse me. Miss? If you're really a wizard, do you know Radagast the Brown? I've never heard of any female wizards from him. just wondering."

Knockondor glares at Truor for taking one of his fish, then starts tearing the other two apart, not noticing how messy the nice silver is getting. When he's looking up after a while, he sees one of the many cats and prepares to pounce on the thing to find out how tasty it is.

[Ledreanne313]

OOC: Oh. Okay, I see now. You aren't meant to be able to read our Quenya and sindarin, we are talking 'privately'. Yet we were only speaking of the cats.

IC: Ledreanne notices the mess of the bird and the glare at the kit. She picks the kit up and hold it like a baby and walks into the kitchen. She comes out with no cat but with a silver towel brushed with violet jewels. She walked over to Knockondor and wiped the table until it was shiney again. 'Tel!' she said. 'Utintil Aew' She said looking at the bird. She then walked back to the kitchen, stopping half way to pick up another cat, and gave a glance to the bird behind!

[YayGollum]

OOC: Yes, it's obvious that you're trying to talk privately so the other people in the bar won't know what you're talking about, but I happen to think that it's a little rude for you not to tell us what you're talking about. You could very well be insulting all of us. But then, we'd just have to trust your translation, wouldn't we? :rolleyes: Anyways, how useful could a towel be if it has jewels in it? Wouldn't it scratch things? oh well.

IC: Truor grows a bear looking mouth while he waits for the wizard lady to talk to him and eats his fish. Knockondor looks at the lady with the cat with all kinds of confusion, having no idea what she just said to him. "Hey, lady! When you have time, come over here!"

[Ledreanne313]

OOC: Don't worry. If you want me to translate from the last couple posts I will, just ask. To thew bird I said 'Shines Again.' And 'Unclean Bird' There. Oh yeah, the jewels on the towel are like a border, you knw like other towels have desins on the ends, this one has gems. You wip with the center.

IC: Ledreanne heres the birds call and walks out to the bird. 'Yes, what is it?' She says to him. Linialanor on the other hand stopped playing her lyre some time ago. She steped down and skipped out the door. A little after she is riding her beautiful horse, MoonShine in the grazing field outside. *No, not the drink* For she is fair and silver and bright as a full moon at midnight, unlike the rest of her dark kin.

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi( who is a little late to be answering about if she knew that wizard if you ask me) pokes her head out of the kitchen and asks" Did someone mention wizard? And did they mean me?"

[YayGollum]

OOC: Got it. Whatever you say. Crazy towel. Anyways, I would like to ask you to always translate, but if you don't feel like doing that, I don't mind always asking you to. Over and over and over. :rolleyes:

IC: Knockondor ignores all of the ladies moving around again, but keeps watching the cats even while talking to the lady. "Uh, hey, could you tell me what you said earlier? I didn't understand it for some reason. Was that some other language, or was I just not paying attention. oh well. What are all of these little weasels around here? They look tasty!"

Truor finishes up his fish and looks around for the strawberry thing that lady said something about, but doesn't see it and turns to the wizard lady again. "Yes, I was talking to you, miss. I only said wizard because this elf here said you were one of them. Do you know Radagast the Brown?"

[Ledreanne313]

OOC: Okay, I will, I promise:rolleyes: !

IC: Ledreanne looks in surprize at the bird, 'Weasel!? No, no, these are cats!' She said while picking up another 'And they are not for eating!' Took the cat into the kitchen with her and came out with Truor's drink. 'Terribley sorry, lord, I was busy cleaning the table and talking with Knockondor.' She handed the tall, gemed, silver, glass to him. She walked back over to KNockondor and answer his translation request. 'Oh, I was just saying that you are not very clean. You were not expected to be able to know what I said, so it is all right!' SHe then picks up yet another cat and walks in the kitchen, holding it in her arms as if it were a child, singing softly to it in her fair voice.

[VioletFalcon129]

" No sorry, I don't know him. I pretty much keep to myself, some people are mean to female wizards. It happend to my friend so i am extra cautious." She goes back in the kitchen, and she starts some fish. Did anyone even order fish? Oh well, she'll eat it.

[Ledreanne313]

She puts the kit down and sings the beautiful song alittle louder and spins around dancing. 'Awan hwesta, mar si khil nin im melyes!' She sang! She finished the song and softly walked into the kitchen. Then, moments later, she returned back out and walked to the stage. Then she looked to the guests and said 'I have a strange erdge (sp.) to play and sing!' Then from under her cloak she took out a pipe-like-flute of silver and curled in a circle in the end! Then she started to play a beautiful tune on the high pitched flute and sang the beautiful song again. She seemed to grow in stature while standing up there playing her song, growing more fairer than before, the green on her gown glowing. Then she stoped and walked down, her normal self.

OOC: Yay, the song is just there, it's not meant to be trandslated!

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi cames out of the kitchen and sits down on a chair that is a little away from everyone. A small cats pads up to her and a fanged* smile crosses her scarlet lips.

* meaning extra sharp canine teeth like a vampie...

[VioletFalcon129]

Noticing people are alarmed, she picks her cat up and quickly returns to the kitchen.

Don't worry people, she's not a vampire or something. She's not dangreuos, she just has fangs. She's a wizard, not killer, cut her a break.

[YayGollum]

OOC: Ack! Songs that don't come with translations are even more annoying! oh well. I think you meant to spell word ---> urge.

IC: Truor looks with a little annoyance at the fancy drinking vessel, then laughs at Knockondor. When that wizard lady explains the cat, he looks a little confused. "Ah, did not all of the wizards come here at once? Or are you two just pretending?"

Knockondor looks a little dissapppointed when the elf lady answers him and seems annoying cheerful. He looks at her like she's crazy when she starts that glowing thing. "Hey, Truor? This place is a little creepy. We're refreshed, right? That's all we came for."

[VioletFalcon129]

OOC: We're not creepy we're special!!!

[Ledreanne313]

OOC: Nay, we're just to 'elf-like!' See YAy here isn't a big Elf fan...like us! That's okay, Yay!

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi calls" Ledreanne!" hoping her friend will come se her in the kitchen. Then she comes out and walks over to her. "Ledreanne," she says" can we talk over at that table," she says pointing to a table away form everyone.

[VioletFalcon129]

She walks over to Trour and says " I do not play games without a light heart. Think of my meaning." and then she returns to ledreanne

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne looks to her friend. 'Yes, of course!' She said. She then stood up and walked over to a table in the corner.
The night was creeping up over the brow of the nearby mountains. A light shadow of the night crept over the inn and the green lights glowed brighter than before, turning everything in the small inn a beautiful misty green shine. Ledreanne smiled at the shadow, for she hates the day time and bright lights and she looks a lot more peaceful now.

[VioletFalcon129]

Siting down at the table with the elf Serendi says" Anne, i fear my presence makes our guests fell unwelcome. Should i remain in the kitchen? I don't want to scare away our customers." then she looks frustratedly at her lap.

[Ledreanne313]

'Nay, my friend. You be not a bother!' She says in a strange, soft vioce, tying to confort her dear friend. 'Now, you will stay out here with me and talk. We have not had a conversation in many a days! Come now, let us speak to each other!'

[VioletFalcon129]

" My friend," she says," i feel like i have no use. Hardly anyone is at our inn. I want to help, but people are afriad of me. My cats seem to annoy them. My smile makes them cringe. I guess i'm not as bad as i think, but i am sad about it." and she sighs.

[YayGollum]

Truor looks over at the ladies with all kinds of annoyance, then turns back to Knockondor. "I wouldn't say creepy. Too stuffy, maybe. What kind of establishment hires a rude staff? They don't answer harmless questions. Yes, we might leave soon. I don't see anything to keep us here."

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne perks up and sits very still. Her excellent hearing can hear the conversation with Truor and Knockondor. 'Rude?' She stood and asked them in a calm manner. ' Were you asking us a question? I am terribley sorry, for I did not here it! If you be wanting something, lord, please speek up and ask! You seemed satisfied for the moment, so we dicided to have a little talk, is that rude?' She said walking over to them. 'I have been trying my hardest and putting all my efforts into serving you all well.' SHe said to all the guests. 'Yet, I am not a mind reading, and if you need something, or something is bothering you, please tell us. Not just me, but Serendi here, and my whole family; Imtary, Silamenn, Galanor, Namaala, Zarion, and all the rest of them! I am doing my best, yet you have to do your part also!'

[Estrella]

Walks in quietly, looking around, grinning at the cats. takes off her pale pink cloak to reveal a simple long tunic and pants of the same pale pink. " good evening," smiling. sits down in a chair and picks up a kitten, petting it in her lap, and takes out her sketch pad and a charcol pencil, looking for a scene to sketch. "How is everyone?"

[YayGollum]

Truor raises an eyebrow at the elf. "It's not my fault that your wizard friend doesn't listen. I just asked her a couple of questions about herself. I was confused. Please forgive me. :rolleyes: Noone was especially offended, I thought." He looks to Knockondor to make sure, but the crazy eagle is puffing his feathers out and trying to intimidate this new person just by looking down at it.

[Estrella]

Smiles at the eagle, remember how she's not very fond of birds. listens to the arguement and thinks how Truror's face would be perfect for a drawing right now. pulls her short curly brown hair back with a small stick. holds back a laugh at the arguers, and then looks at the person she assumes is the wizard, and smiles " i like your dress." Starts to hum a random melody very softly and she starts to sketch.

[Ledreanne313]

'Mae Govannon, new comer!' Ledreanne said in a wlcoming manner. 'May I get something for you?' She said. Then she looked back to Truor. 'All right. Let us start over. Now...what was her question?' She said to him calmly. Then she looked to Serendi: 'ihaw hir? A cheb uechuir!'


OOC: Just making sure that you know: I'm not the wizard, VioletFalcon is (Serendi). I'm an elf maiden.
Translation: [Do you] hear [the] lord? And keep 'unstirred'
(meaning calm or still).

[YayGollum]

Truor looks from the wizard lady back to the elf. "I hope you told her to pay attention to her customers. You don't get much business by ignoring them all the time. oh well. Doesn't matter. I was just wondering why anyone should believe that her and her pet could be wizards."

Knockondor sees that this new person isn't paying any attention to him and turns back to his his table. "Hey, did I already eat my fish? I'm hungry. Give me some more, lady, okay?"

[Ledreanne313]

She looks at Knockondor in a surprized way. 'Excuse me!' She said, 'I would like to recieve the kindness that I have given you!' She then took the basket into the kitchen and came out with three more larger fish, still alive. 'Here you are!' Then by Truors remark to Serendi she said 'Serendi here is an owner, she helped construct it. Yet, she is not exactly like I, I am an Owner and a waiter. She is really just an Owner. She helps out sometime like a waiter, yet that is really my job. So if you need something, ask me, if I cannot help you ask her!' Then she started to walk away then stopped and looked back to him and said 'And yes, my lord, she is a wizard. Nay, not as powerful and reknown as...Radagast! Yet she still is one. And what do you speak of when you said her pets were wizards. If you mean the cats, they are just cats!'

Ledreanne saw that the newcomer enjoyed the cats and say the one one her lap. 'Ah yes. That is our most socail cat, Mithgon!'

[Estrella]

Smiles looking at the kitty. " so unlike my own cat was..." sighs slightly thinking of her kitty. "i'll just have some mint tea, thank you. My apoliges. i often assume things before i have enough information." laughs lightly "very lovely place here, by the way. Call me starr."

[YayGollum]

Knockondor looks at the elf with all kinds of confusion, then decides that to give the kindness she gave him, he has to give the fish back. He swoops right up behind the lady and shoves her into one of the seats he's been balancing on. "There. Better? Fish all for you now. Or did you help me out in some other way?"

Truor snickers a little, then grabs one of the fish and stands up to go talk to the wizard lady. "I only said that your wizard friend had a wizard for a pet because that's what she said. Ask her. Since you say that you can't help me, I'll go talk to her myself." He takes a few bites out of the wriggling fish while walking over to the lady that claims she's a wizard. "That friend of yours is pushy. I was being patient and waiting for your answer, but she says that I should ask you now. All I was wondering about was how you can be a wizard. I thought that you all came here at once. And what's that about a cat being a wizard? I've never met any cats in the Vale of Anduin, so I don't know how annoyingly magical they can get."

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne, keeping her temper as before, could not stand that annoying bird any longer. 'No. That is not what I meant. I have kindly spoke to you and recieved want you asked for. I even called you as a mortal 'lord' yet you are a bird.' She stood out of the chair and looked angryily at him 'From now on, no 'talking animals' in our inn. Meaning you. Please leave. If Truor has to go with you, so be it!' Her green eyes blazed then she walked hastfully over to Serendi.

OOC: This is just a character fight, right?

[Estrella]

Listens intently to the conversation, gently setting the cat down, and sketching Truror's face. Grins slightly, stifling a giggle. starts to humm softly again.

[YayGollum]

OOC: Hm? Well, I never thought that my characters were fighting anyone, but oh well. Looks like I won't be able to post in here for much longer.

IC: Knockondor takes a hop backwards in surprise and starts puffing his chest out and losing feathers while hopping around and looking agitated. "Do what? Why should I leave? Do you expect all of your customers to know what you expect from them? I never knew that people working at some bar usually expect the things you're asking for! Sorry! When did I say anything mean to you? Do you want me to call you a lord, too? I don't know! And I am not just some talking animal! I'm a giant eagle! Never run into one? We aren't just a bunch of animals, elf! Besides, I'm practically a lord. I'm the son of one." :D :rolleyes:

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne, calming hersilf down, said 'I did not expect you to stand and push me! And yes, I have met an Eagle before. I am sirry to refer to you then as a 'talking animal'. You may stay a while longer if you wish, yet this is your only chance.'

OOC: If you want to leave, it's okay.

[YayGollum]

OOC: Ack! Well, crazy person, I was never planning on leaving. It seemed to me to be that that was your plan. *sniff* :rolleyes:

IC: Knockondor forgets about the other questions he asked the lady and grabs two more seats to balance on. "Uh, huh. What kind of bar owner threatens to throw their customers out just because of some little misunderstanding. oh well. Can I have my fish back now?"

[Ledreanne313]

'Yes, here is your fish.' She said, handing it back to him. 'Can we please forget about what has happened?' She said. 'We must both apologize. So, I am terribley sorry.'

OOC: Oh-. I see. Nevermind then. (I get confused easily for some things).

[Estrella]

Puts sketch away. " so is this generally a busy place? what's the general mood around here?"

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne walks softly over to Starr and stands in front of her. 'Nay, we have just opened the inn.' She said, then she pause and ponder a bit 'The mood...well, I do not know exactly what you would like by that. Can you rephrase that question?' Then she calls out 'Ithicara!' Out of the kitchen come a small black kit and stumble over her large, clawed paws and rubbed against Ledreanne's leg. She bent down and picked up the kit and held ity like a baby in her arms, combing threw her soft, shiny coat with her long, pale hands. She membles a little song and the kit yawns many times and the cat falls fast asleep in her arms. Ledreanne smiles at the yawns as the kit shows her small pointy teeth. 'This is Ithicara. SHe is my own cat, the rest are mostly owned by Serendi. Ithicara will not grow larger, she is a 'dwarf' cat, I like to call her. Very wise, very old. Even though she looks so young, Serendi put a spell on her to make her live longer, not much longer. Cara is about 36 years old, and will pass soon.' SHe said, craddling the sleeping kit now.

[YayGollum]

Knockondor starts digging into his fish again. "Hm? Oh, you'll whine if I don't pretend to be sorry, won't you? oh well. Yes, I'm sorry for being such a confused bird." He turns to the other lady and tries to take a look at whatever she's drawing. "You talking to me? No, this isn't very busy. I guess it's too out of the way. I'd say that the mood is confusion and hostility right now, but that might offend this person over here. Whoops!" :D

[Estrella]

Smiles. " i guess the question would be invalid since the Inn hasn't had much time to develope a general Atmosphere." looks at the cat and gets a sappy grin on her face. " she's so pretty. " looks at Knockonder." It was a general question. and i figured right now it was hostility, which is good from time to time, but it can't be like that all the time." turns back to ledreanne, " my cat was grey. we'll she wasn't really my cat, she just preferred me to anyone else. I lived in a convent of sorts, i suppose you could say. it was more a mix between a convent and a dojo... i never thought it was unusual untill i left." Laughs.

[VioletFalcon129]

OOC: just so you know, the reason I don't answer sooner is because I don't get on tuesday's and thursday's. I try to ack like the person didn't hear or was saydreaming or something. Sorry.

[YayGollum]

OOC: No big deal. If you want my character to ask yours the question again, I can do that. :rolleyes:

[Estrella]

OCC: it's all good. :p

[Liat_ravensong]

a small hobbit stomps in, throwing herself down into a chair she yells out "1 ale " she is followed more slowly by a ranger, clad all in dark green. Walking up to the bar he bows graciously " i would like 1 fruit juice please 7 please do not take offence at my companions...she is not herself" he bows again & leaves the bar. " i am myself thank you VERY much & you well Know it " the hobbitshouts this while putting her feet up on the table. The ranger pushes them off & they begin a long & heated argument about etiquette & why you should not put your feet on tables.;)

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne, very surprised at all that is happening, gets what they ask for and place them on the counter in large, silver glasses. 'That's the last of the ale...' She said plainly. She watches the two argue and finally walks over to them. 'Excuse me...is everything alright?'

[Estrella]

watches the new people for a moment and raises eyebrow humorously at the Hobbit, knowing the all too familar behavior in herself from time to time. yawns.

[Liat_ravensong]

"Yes everthings fine,just fine............except that this IDIOT insists that i act like a poncy idiot because it's polite,* scowls & turns to ranger* for goodness sake we're paying them, they should be grateful!" the hobbit snaps this & has such a fierce scowl that Ledreanne takes a step backwards in surprise.

the ranger stands up & turns to Ledreanne please ignore my companion she does not mean to make a scene we have been traveling for a long time & it has tired her" he smiles slightly then turns back to the hobbit " i'll thank you to remember that i am paying for this!" he then sits down & starts to drink, the hobbit sits in stony silence cradling what , according to the woman who served them could be her last ale for a while.

OOC: Emmlyn (the hobbit) is always like this so don't take offence
:p Emmlyn->:mad:

[greypilgrim]

A large, muscle-bound troll wandered by the front door to the place, upon hearing the sound of voices inside he stopped short, turned and entered the place. He carried a chain and a large hammer. His countenance was calm, he just wanted some company for now and to get a bite to eat.

:confused: *just stands there*

:confused: He's got a note tacked onto his chest, it reads..."mute troll, I can cook and be a bouncer"...
*looks around*:o :o

[Ledreanne313]

OOC:Liat: Please do not post actions of other characters.

IC: Ledreannelooks at them still arguing. Then she looks down at the ranger apologize (she is 6'6, so she looks down on him). 'Oh, that is alright. We have open rooms. Actually...all of our rooms are empty. And there is no need to pay for food if you rent a room.' She said. She started to go back behind the counter and heard the choas outside, she turns and see a troll standing there. 'My...' She says. 'A troll?' Then she reads the sign aloud and poders with squented eyebrows and says 'Terribley sorry. A troll could not fit in the kitchen...I would rather not hire any one to large to fit threw the door...'

OOC: Sorry, I need your help...but do you have other characters?

[greypilgrim]

OOC: I'll just be a ranger out of the north.
IC: Bill turns and exits, a note on his back says "SeeYa!"

IC: In walks a man, his face was dirty and he smelled bad. He looked scruffy, but none the worse for wear after travelling on a hard road. "I would like a room please". He tosses some change on the bar and says, "That's all I've got."

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne just stands there in front of the new comer. 'Alright...' she looks down at the coins 'That'll be fine...more than enough. And with her pale slender fingers, she moves one of the coins away, leaving it there for him. 'Come' She says while walking toward a side door. She opened it and walked down a almost pitch black hallway with no trouble and stops at the end. She then takes a very small key out of a small poutch and unlocks the large, black door with a green crytal knob. 'There you are.' She says opening it and closing it half way. 'You may enter now, or wait till later.' She says hold out her clutched hand to give him the key. Then she smiles a small, gentle smile to the ranger.

OOC: Thanks, I did like your troll though. With the signs and all:)

[Estrella]

Stands up, and stretches slightly, blinking, and pickes up her bag. " How much do i owe ya?" smiles.

[greypilgrim]

;) I take the key and enter the room with a knowing glance.
Enters the room quietly and says "Thank you. I'm sure this room will be perfect for me. Good night."

[Ledreanne313]

'Good night, my lord. If you need anything...I'll be up all night. And I will wakeyou ere sunrise. Unless you perfer later?'

She walks back out and looks at Starr. 'Oh...You need not owe anything. You did not have much, and I enjoyed you stay. Namarië! I hope for the moon to guide you on a safe road.' Then she smiles back a the young one, and turns to walk back behind the counter.

[Estrella]

Smiles pulling up her hood " thank you. If i come back this way, i shall stop by." walks back out humming a melody under her breath. Pets a cat on the head quickly as she walks out, grinning up at the moon.

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne stands there looking out at her walk afar, the moon shining in her bright green eyes. She sighed and walked to a table and sat. She looked outside and there in the doorway was her steed, SilentShadow. She smiles a large smile, differently also. She stands and walks to her and gently strokes her neck. 'Im múl lumbule...vana,dín...' Then she jumped upon the bearbacked horse and they rode around the field a couple times and then she jumped from the horse and said goodbye with a kiss on the brow. When she came back into the inn, Pryer, her favorite cat, father of Ithicara., was sitting in the doorway. He is pure black with green-gold eyes that glowed. SHe picked him up and sat at a table and stroked the cat, waiting for something to do.

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi walks over to Ledreanne. " are you bored my friend? you seem restless. Surely the horrific spider in the kitchen will interest you."

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne looks up at Serendi and smile and laughed a little and replied 'You are a wizard...and spiders frighten you?!' She laughed once more and walked into the kitchen still holding Pryer. Momeents leter she comes back out and sits back down. 'There. Serendi...I have nothing to do. We have a ranger staying in the last room...number 5 I think. And he wants to be awakened ere the rising of the sun. So please remind me.' She paused and looked outside at the moon again and said 'Yet the moon is high...and night has only begun.'

[VioletFalcon129]

"Night indeed rides the heavens, and I need not remind you. You will not forget. And i wish to awaken then also, if I get to sleeping at all. If you need something to do, teach Ishil, my white cat, a trick. She will learn it very fast. Don't try anything 'interesting'. I will catch you." she smiles and hopes the spider is gone.

[Ledreanne313]

'Alright.' She put Pryer down and calls Ishil and the blue-eyed white kit walks over. Ledreanne looks back at Serendi to make sure she is gone then looks back to Ishil and smiled. 'Ah, my kit. What shall I teach you?' Then she paused and thought a while. Then she smiled big and said to the cat 'Perfect. Serendi will be quite surprised...' Then after a couple hours Ishils training is done. 'Serendi! Ishil has learned something new!' And serendi walks out of the kitchen and the cat is nowhere to be seen. 'Yet first you need to find her!' Ledreanne said laughing. She wasn't usually like this...yet she was terribley bored and needed some fun...and if she wasn't having fun...she was fighting.

OOC: Sorry, I had to bring out Serendi. I will tell you where she is in the next post.

[Liat_ravensong]

The hobbit has now finished her ale & is standing on the ,ickle shelf on the counter trying to get someone's attention by jumping up & down,she jumps a bit too rigoursly & falls of with a loud bang, she sits on the floor cursing everyone & everything.

the ranger is walking round the place admiring little sparkly things.

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne looks at the fallen Hobbit and walks over and kneeled down beside her. 'And what is it you would be wanting, my Lady.' And she smiled helping the little hobbit up off the ground.

[Liat_ravensong]

Emmlyn thanks the person who is helping her up " i would like 2 rooms for the night 1 for a hobbit,me, & one for him" points finger at the ranger who is still wandering round the room.

[Ledreanne313]

'Alright! Come...I will show you your rooms!' She said as she led the hobbit and ranger to the same hallway as before. This time she took two green lanterns off the walls and gave one to each then grabbing another that she carried. 'Come, this way.' She said walking down the pitch black hallway as every new step she took the beautiful green glow creeped further down the silver and black walls. She stopped at the second door from the entrance of the wall. It was a tall black door with a large silver knob that had green-blue gems upon it. She opened the door and inside was a fairly large room with light green walls and black marble-stone floors that shines with the green glow of the lanterns. She walled in and place the lantern on a hook above the bed. The bed was quite long with black and the pale green of the wall sheets with a silver border. There was also a small silver talble. On the left wall a large mirror border with silver and transparetn clothes hung over. The room itself was a beautiful site. Ledreanne and her family tried their best to make it lovely, yet Ledreanne and Serendi designed it to their liking also. 'This is your room, Lord. Just remember that it is room two. I hope you like it. If you need more lanterns, I will retrieve them for you. I will be up all night so you shan't need to stay in here until you want.' She smiled and walked out leading the hobbit now to her room. She walked down the hall and suddenly turned, and walked a little further then stopped. She held the hobbit's lantern up. This door shorter, not tall enough for Ledreanne to fit through without leaning. Yet Ledreanne was far past 6 feet and the door was 5 feet, do it actually wasn't that small. This door was a dark blue with a golden handle with violet jewels. She opened it and walked in, taking the hobbit's lantern and placing it over the bed. This room had grey-purple marble-stone floor and dark violet-blue walls with a golden border. There was a dresser, only three feet high with a mirror over it, bordered with gold. The dresser was a gold also, but more tarnished (sp). The bed was around 4 and a half feet long with a dark red-violet covers. Under the bed and extending further was a dark magenta carpet with a gold border and blue and violet designs. She went to the dresser and opened the to drawer and took out a transparent light blue glass and replaced the green one in the lantern so now a blue glow was dancing about the room. She smiled and said to the hobbit 'Just so it will match...' Then she walked over to her and said 'Here is your room. I placed two lanterns in here for this back corner is darker than the others. I will also put a lantern in the hall so you can see to return of you go back to the lounge. This is room 8. I hope you like this room, Serendi made this one! You may also return to the lounge at any time of night.' Then she walked out and went to the lounge and into the ktichen and came out with fout lanterns, white glows, and placed them all through out the hall.

ooc: Sorry it's so long, I love describing things!

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi smiles at Ledreanne. serendi woul not have cared wich room they got. Ledreanne is nice. she goes into the kitchen to make herself some juice.

ooc: i like juice! yay for juice!

[Liat_ravensong]

OOC: i like juice too i am drinking some now...apple to be precise!
Ledreanne are you English....just wondered :)

The ranger made no reaction to the room just nodded & followed ledreanne back to the lounge where he sat in a corner & watched everyone else.

Emmlyn however was so taken with the utter gorgeousnous (sp...is that even a word???) of her room that she sat down in the center of the floor & STARED at the room all night long!;)

[Ledreanne313]

OOC: No...I'm not english. Why do you ask?

IC: Ledreanne knocked of Emmlyn's door and opened and saw the hobbit sitting there. She smiled big and walked over and knelt beside her and placed her long hand upon her shoulder. 'You like the room...do you not? They are nice. My room is similar to your friend's room. What is his name?'

[Silven Assassin]

Farmir enters the inn, and smiles. A friendly inn this looked to be. He placed his spear in a far corner, in an act of good-will. He saw a wizard step out of the kitchen, and he went up to her. "Excuse me, my lady. Do you know an Elven maiden, Ledreanne, by name?" he asked softly.

[VioletFalcon129]

" ah yes sir, i do," serendi tells the man who has just enterd," she is showing some other guests to thier rooms at this moment, but i am sure she will be fineshed soon." she called the last eight words loudly so that Ledreanne would know to come. and then went after her anyway. " excuse me i will get her now" she tells the person, and strides down the hall. reaching the place that is near enough Ledreanne to talk with her, she says" Ledreanne, there is someone who wants to see you. they are waiting. surely the room is not getting more beautiful." and strides back down the hall telling the peson who is still standing there" she is on her way now" and goes up to her own room, hoping to find her cat.

ooc: serendi is mean, don't you think? she is usually like that.
( serendi is my character. i always confuse people. i don't want to make a post just ot explain who she is.)

[Liat_ravensong]

OOC: oh i've a german penfriend & your typing reads like hers, if you get my meaning. :) by the way what country do you come from?

IC: the hobbit looked embarrased at being caught appreciating something & so quickly changed the subject " him oh his names Colnn" then on hearing Serendi 2 i belive your friend wants you, bye!" she turns away & gingerly opens the chest of draws trying not too break anything.

[Ledreanne313]

'Alright, thank you. I must leave now. If you are in need of anything, my Lady, please ask.' Then she walked out of the room, he long gown dragging on the silver hall floor behind her. She got to the lunge and saw Farmir standing there. She smiled and said 'Mae Govannon. We have met before, Farmir. It is a pleasure to sdee you again. I may seem quite different here than before, for this is my home and it comforts me.' She saw his spear in the corner and said 'Would you be wanting a be wanting a room, Lord?'

ooc: The great ol' US of A! :)

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi comes back down from her room and calls one of her companions. " Gilthreeimare! Gilthree!" she calls loudly" come down here!" it was dinner time and she needed some help in the kitchen. where was that elf who was the kitchen person? she didn't know.

[Ledreanne313]

Gilthree walked down the stair in a beautiful gown of magenta and gold and it dragged down far behgind her. She was singing in a beautiful voice softly 'May it be an evening star Shines down upon you. Mornie Utulie. May it be when darkness falls Your heart will be true, Mornie alantie...' Then she looked to Serendi 'Yes, what is it, Lady Serendi?' She walked over to her. She was taller than Serendi and she looked down at her and smiled. She had a fair face and long auburn hair with grey eyes. She looked to Ledreanne and Farmir and she said 'Mae Govannon! I am Gilthreeimare! I am a friend of Lady Ledreanne and Lady Serendi! I hpe you enjoy your stay here. This inn is so beautiful...' Then she loked back to Serendi for an answer.\


ooc: Raen, Sera is not mean. Or at least I do not think so.

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi answers gilree" I need you to help me prepare dinner for our guests. it is time to eat and the must be hungary. you don't mind do you?"

[Ledreanne313]

'No of course not! We eally need to hire a cook though!' She said walking into the kitchen. Ledreanne laughed alittle at Gilthree and called to them 'I will go retrieve the guests for dinner!' Then she looked at Farmir and said 'Please take a seat and stay for dinner, we can speak them. It's on me!' Then she wlaked down the hallway and knowcked on the doors of three guests and callde to them 'Dinner will be servered soon. PLease come and join us.'

[Silven Assassin]

Framir happily sat down at a table, his yellow eyes glittering as he took in all the beautiful things this inn displayed. He began humming a tune that he knew very well, and drummed his fingers on the table to keep time. Then he snapped out of his near-trance, and stood and bowed to Ledreanne.
"Mae Govannon, Lady. You have a beautiful inn, and I will go so far as to say that it surpasses the splendour of the Golden Hall of Edoras. I would be honored to stay here in your inn, if there is space available for one more," he said in a friendly tone, smiling.

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne smiled back at him and spoke saying 'Thank you, Lord. Yet Edoras has a beauty of itself that none can compare to. There is much room in the inn. Would you like me to show you your room now?'

[Silven Assassin]

"Yes, thank you. I would see it now, and put away my travelling things." He took his spear from the corner, brushing his blonde hair back from his eyes.

[Ledreanne313]

"All right. Please follow me, Lord Farmir." She said while walking to the side door and into the hallway again, this time lit with the white lights. She stopped about half way down and took on of the lanterns from the wall. This door was Black with a silver handle. She opened it and inside was another beautiful room. It had silver and black tile floors and silver tinted green walls. She hung the lantern over the bed. The bed was long was black and dark green sheets. Under the bed was a large carpet extending over most of the floors: It was a green-blue color with black designs. There was a large dresser that was black and a rack on the wall for swords/spears. She felt that this room would fit his needs because of that rack. The ceiling (sp) was black and decorated with silver stars and a large new moon. She looked to him and said "I hope this fits to all your needs. If you ever need anything, please ask me and I will do my best to meet them.' And she walked out fo the room back to the lounge.

[Silven Assassin]

Farmir watched her go, then placed his spear and shortsword on the rack. He took off his travelling cloak and folded it into the dresser. He lay down on the bed, and almost fell asleep. He slowly got up from the comfortable bed, and shook his head. Dinner, he thought, and, went back downstairs.

[Ledreanne313]

ooc: Sorry, I think I confused you, the rooms are on the same floor as the lounge. The stairs are only used for staff:)

ic: Ledreanne walks in the kitchen and sees Gilthree and Serendi making dinner. 'Shall I hand out the menus to the guests?' Gilthree made no response at first then looked up at her and said 'Why yes! This will take longer than I thought. Please take their orders too, Anne, please. We also need a waiter...' She keeps babling on to Serendi about what employees they need. Then she stopped Ledreanne before she left with the menues and said 'Please make a sign that says we need employees. Thank you, Anne. I am terribley sorry. I would yet right now I knew to do this. I hope you do not mind.' She said.
Ledreanne smiled and replied 'No no, it is all right. You are occupied and I had nothing to do. Worry not.' Then she walked out.
Everyone was seated that was coming to dinner and she handed out the menus. Then she told everyone 'When you decide on what you would like, please ask me and I will retrieve it for you.' Then she went up the stairs and came down minutes later with two signs saying 'Employees needed. Please help.' And she hung them on either side of the door. Then she went to an empty table and sat down waiting for orders.

ooc:Menus:
Drinks-
-water
-Fruit Juice
-Herb Tea (hot or cold)
-Red wine
-Fruit Necter
Food-
-Salads
-Fruit
-Venison
-Fish
-Herb salads

[Silven Assassin]

farmir saw the signs, and offered his services. "I'll work her for you, and you don't need to pay me," he said.

ooc:oops!

[Ledreanne313]

ooc: No problem...the inn is very confusing. You don't even know about the downstairs lybrary (you do now!)

ic: Ledeanne smiles at Farmir and says 'Why thank you Lord for offering your services! They are very much welcome. Yet I need to repay you some how for I would feel terrible not to. In what way can you help Lord?'

ooc: Let's Celebrate! Over 100 Posts and a *****5***** star rating!!!! YAY!

[Silven Assassin]

"I am versatile. I can cook, or serve, anything. The least you can do is allow me to stay here, or let me build a small cote for myself a little way from here."

[Ledreanne313]

'Yet do you not have a home?' She asked, 'Yet if you wish to stay, we have an empty room upstairs.' Then she paused and walked over 'A versatile? Well then your services will serve much aid here. For I am no cook, Serendi is yet she has other things to do. Gilthree only stays here half a year. Thank you very much. We apperitiate (sp) your help.' She smiled big.

[Silven Assassin]

"I will stay here. I will not be missed much in Rohan, and I could do with a relief from the hectic life of a warrior. That is, if you would want me here."

[Liat_ravensong]

The hobit on hearing the conversation about jobs goes & offers herself as serving staff then orders everything on the menu. the ranger orders a fruit nectar & some venison.

[Ledreanne313]

'Yea, you may stay. After dinner you may move your things upstairs. If you need to leave to retrive more of your belongs please go.' She then looks to the hobbit and says 'Why of course, Emmlyn. Thank you! And lord, what floavor of nectar would you be wanting? We have peah, strawberry, apercot (sp), and lemon. And beware that the Lemon may be a bit sour. Though personally it is my favorite.' She said and waited for his reply. Then she walks into the kitchen and tells Serendi and Gilthree they need one of everything on the meni and a __*she stays until she hears his order then leaves*__ nectar and venison.

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi begins to get the supplies for nectar out whilr muttering about how can she have any venison if everyone else eats it all.

[Ledreanne313]

'Serendi...worry not. I could always go nd retrieve more. I will tonight when the deer come out, alright?' Then she left the kitchen and walked to an empty chair and sat down and waited.

[Liat_ravensong]

OOC um Emmlyn is female:)

IC Emmlyn orders lemon necter & the ranger orders peach

[Ledreanne313]

ooc: I know, I was first talking with her, then with the ranger.

ic: Gilthree walks out with two necters in long silver bottles and places them by the hobbit and the ranger. 'I hope you enjoy the miruvor. Oh, I mean necter. Miruvor is what us elves call it. Yavë Miruvor.' Then she walked back in the kitchen and came back out with two large, white plates on each arm with venison on it. The smell filled the room, the steaming broth and spices. Ledreanne even turned to the smell. Gilthree set them down and looked at the hobbit who seemed to be hidden under the table from the large chairs and smiled and shook her head. 'It seems to me that yo have a small problem!' Then she walked un the stair and came back down with two black, shiney cushion. 'If you sit on these maybe it will be easier to eat.' And she gave them to Emmlyn and smiled. Then went back to the kitchen once again and came out once more with two bowls, one holding a herb salad and the other fruit. 'Here is your yavë, or fruit, and here is your herb salad. I hope you enjoy. If you need anything else do not hesitate to ask.'

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi puts some of her more talented cats on the stage, and they all do amazing tricks on command. They wlk on their back legs, and flip and "sing".

[Helcaraxë]

A tall man in a black cloak, his hood shadowing his face but his hard features visible, opens the door. A momentary flicker of surprise registers on his face. He then turns and disappears into the night like a shadowy phantom...:D

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne turns immediatly to the man that strangley arrived and left. She ran to the door while grabbing her cloak that hung on the wall. She flung it on in a second and yelled to him 'Lord?' She questioned him, hoping for an answer. She turned to go back inside while looking at the sky and said aloud 'Ulmo's Gift will be sent this night...ere the Sun returns to Aman...'

ooc: You had fun doing that didn't you?:) We need some ecitement here anyways...

[Liat_ravensong]

OOC: ok i won't ask

IC Emmlyn starts eating & not a sound is heard out of her until she has finished...........the ranger notices the strange man & follows Ledreanne outside where he vanishes into the shadows.

[Helcaraxë]

Already miles from the in, the black-cloaked man stops when he hears Ledreanne call. A look of infinate sadness crosses his face. Then he pulls his hood farther over his face and continues walking, eating the ground with long, loping strides.

P.S.-- whats OOC?

[Ledreanne313]

ooc: OOC means Out-of-Character. It's were we talk...like PS!

ic: Ledreanne feels thast she shan't leave this alone. She calls 'Gweth!' And over comes her horse, Dinweth. She jumps upn her tall, black steed and rides after him. Seeing him ahead, she stops. She stands there with the wind in her hair and her green eyes glimmering in the moonolight. 'Lord?' She questioned him once again. 'Do you wisheth for me to leave thee? For I feel a strange presance around you...who be you, Stranger of the Night?'

[Helcaraxë]

He turns his steady gaze on her. He considers her for a moment and then says cryptically, "I am the Wander. And who are you, who O curious one?"

[Ledreanne313]

'Curious I might be, yet I haveth a right.' She walks Dinweth closer slowly and lowers her hood. Now her bright red hair shone in the moonlight also. 'Wanderer you may be...yet I am one also. Súl you may call me. For if no name you reveal to me, no name will you recieve in return, Wanderer. Or is that your name? Please cometh back to my Inn, The Tears of the Wind, if you may. For the rain will come hard this night.' Then she looked off in the distance and said softly 'My love will arrive...'

[Helcaraxë]

He looks at her a moment longer, then follows her back to the inn. They find a private booth. He turns to her and says, "So be it. If thou wilst give me no name, I shalt give you mine. You may call me Alkarion. I hail from the North, and I am the last of the Forodrim, guardians of the North. Perhaps you can call me a sorcerer. No matter. Now, tell me [I]your[I] name, and how you sense my presence.

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne said nothing to him for some time, thinking over the new things he has told her. Then she sopke to him, saying 'I thanketh you kndly, Lord Alkarion, for comeing here. For thee is welcome.' She gave a small, warm smile. Then she bowed slightly and said to him 'I am Ledreanne Wind Fighter of Eryn Lasgalen. I felt thee's presence with some unknown identity of myself. My history lays only with the aging of the mountains...and I canst not find it for now it is hidden under the trechorous rocks. I know not how this is.' Then she paused and looked sorrowfully into his eyes, 'I feel that we have met before, Lord. Yet I know you not...so I think...' Then a strong wind started to blow and a hard rain fell from the skies. Ledreanne looked quickly with the sound of the wind and she smiled big and warm. Then she stood and looked to Alkarion 'Lord, the Wind calls me and I must be with him. Will you not continue our conversation with the wind?'

[Helcaraxë]

He returns her smile, and says only, "The wind will listen." when Ledreanne leaves, he goes to the back door of the inn and departs once more, whither only he knows.

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi stares out the back door wondering why that person left before she could introduce herself. She asks her pet sparrow to follow him, but it doesn't want to. She gets suspicios if she ever wanted to meet that person, but she'll not know unless he comes back.

[Liat_ravensong]

the ranger returns soaked he retires to his room the hobbit however goes up to the bar & askes for a pint of ale, she goes & sits in a corner feeling a 'ickle bit lonley.

[Helcaraxë]

Suddenly, the man crashes through a window with his hands locked around a lanky orc's throat. The orc draws a dagger and tries to stab him, but he knocks the weapon out of its hand and rips out its throat with a stiff-handed strike. He gets up, brushes himself off, and says, "Sorry, but I felt like dropping by again. These misty mountain orcs are rather pesky. I'll have a bottle of the Old Winyards, if you please, with some salted beef. SALTED, mind you. No pepper. Can't stand that fiery weed; makes me sneeze my nose off." He seats himself at a booth nonchalanlty.

ooc: Sorry, but I really had to add a comical flavor to this thread.:D

[Estrella]

-walks in humming, with several chunks of her brown hair covered in blue and orange thread, and a small purple dot on the middle of her forehead. Looks around at the broken glass on the floor, wondering if this was the same Inn she left- Err.... Hello? - sits down in a chair at a small table.- Is Ledreanne Here? whoa.. there's like, people here. -yawns lightly-

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne draws her bow as the crash happens. And returns the arrow to her quiver when all is done and over. She walks over to him and smiles and shakes her head and said to him. 'Please clean up the glass, then pay the fee for the glass...' She smiled. 'And then I will retrieve your Salted beef and wine.' Then she grabbed the orcs arm and dragged it outside. Then washed her hands, while Starr entered again. She heard her asking for her and walked out of the Kitchen and looked to her and smiled big and said 'Mae Govannon opne again, Lady Starr! Glad I am to have you return!' Then she walked over to her and bowed.

Gilthree walked out from much time in the kitchen. Cooking wasn't a thing that she snjoyed as much as Serendi and needed a break. She looked around and saw the poor little hobbit, lonely in the corner. She walked over and sat next to her. 'I hope you enjoyed your meal, Lady. I am very happy you are staying here, first hobbit. I love the halflings and the Shire. Beautiful it is and so jolly you are. I am very much older than you, and I have been in the Shire before. Long ago before even your father's time I walked in the old forest of your home. The trees and beautiful and strong and the the forest are wondrous. It is very pleasant to stay there, wonderful trees, beautiful flowers, and the ffresh scent of bread from the many bakeries.' She smiled at her, hoping to cheer her up.

[Liat_ravensong]

the hobbit smiled slightly & said "yes the shire is beautiful isn't it?" she then begins to cry.:(

[Ledreanne313]

'Now now, Emmlyn, you shan't cry. To miss your home is not something you can heed. For I am from Rivendell, very far off now. And these trecherous mountain are in my way! I either have to spend days of traveling around them or a perilous journey over them! Please do not weep for such things when such things cannot be helped!' She tried once again to confort her.

[Helcaraxë]

After his unexpected return and Ledreanne's request, he flips a gold crown and two copper pennies to her. "For the glass, the food, and one for yourself for your warm welcome." He says, the former brooding silence gone. He leaps up on the table and starts singing. He twirls his hands so fast they are a blur, with odd light issuing from them. Then a loud [I]clap sounds, and there is a flash. Alkarion falls of the table laughing, and cries "A sorcerer's trick to cheer up a gloomy young hobbit maid!" The customers all stare at him like he's sprouted horns and a tail.:D

[Ledreanne313]

:rolleyes:'Lord!' Ledreanne yelled! She was quite ageered at his dancing and singing upon her pure silver (and shiney) table. She grabbed hold of his arm and pulled him down and then said to him, 'And after cleaning the glass from my window, you shall have to scub this table again! For I already had to before with an annoying bird and his fish...and I thank you for the money, now please stop your foolishness!' She never saw such a fool in her very long life and felt also embaressed infront of her guests. She shook her head and sighed and walked back to the kitchen and as she did she said softly, 'I actually believed him...a fool I was to do such...'

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi walks over to the person who had been on the table "Elves," she told him" they don't enjoy tricks much. Hate them if you do it on top of the table. The hobbits i've met prefer clouds of colord smoke to lights, but then agian, they were all brothers. Very Picky about her tables, Ledreanne is. I would just love to bore you further with my babbeling, but with Gilthree out of the kitchen i need to do the cooking." and she walked off to prepare some food.

[Estrella]

-laughs- Go Morgoth! -Claps, the beads at the end of her hair making a plesant rythemic Jangling.- You should go to one of the other inns i've been to sometime. It's a really really reallly big cave, Run by a dragon... but she's cool. They'd love you. Ahhh long time no See Ledreanne! Nice to be back... a little bit less hectic then some other places i've been.... but -looks around grinning, and for the most part holding back a laugh- right now that is questionable.

[Helcaraxë]

His face darkens at Ledreanne's words. He catches Ledreanne by the hand and turn her around, eyes blazing. "I am no fool." He says coldly. "That is but a veil with which I hide my true face. For three hundred years I warred among the clansmen of the North, the mightiest sorcerer in all of Forodwaith. I shall NOT be taunted by the likes of you, elf girl! you may clean your own table." With that he stalks off back to his booth and sips his wine, but he is no longer smiling.

[VioletFalcon129]

" Lady Leddreanne is no mere 'elf-girl' and should not be called so!!!" Serendi turned right around " You will clean that table. And you will opologose now. Have you chosen to bring trouble to this inn? I will not have it! You are indeed a fool to insult her kind in my presence." she stands there glaring and ready to reak havok on anyone, espicialy that stupid fool, who was disrupting her inn.

[Estrella]

-stares watching all of this, mouth open slightly, holding breath subconciously-

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne was quite surprised with him also, for she was never insulted as so in her life. 'I called you no fool! I said but you were foolish...not meaning you are one. That window was an hierloom of my family for three thousand years and these table are far older. I shan't be pleased with having them abused as such. No washing will you have to do, yet if more foolishness...by anyone who enters...will be forced to leave with no consideration. There is a stage right there, Lord. I would greatly appreciate if you would use that. And I shan't hear further converse of this topic...for I am quite angered...' She said it curtly and percisely. She did think of him as a fool for doing such things. She loved her inn and was very kind, yet people like him were one of the things she hated most. And also he reminded her of her annoying sister. She looked up at the moon outside and saw that it was quite late...which also meant that her sister would be coming soon to visit...and she dreaded that moment. So for that time she cleaned her table quickly and went into the kitchen to clean up a bit. She said to Serendi calmly, yet worried 'Would you care if I went to the lybrary and stayed there when Lin arrives? She doesn't bother you that much now, does she?' She forgot all about earlier and went around cleaning things up. She looked to the guests, 'If is very late and you may sleep now if you wish. If you wished to be awoken at a certain time, I will do so. Otherwise you must wake on your own.' Then she went outside, for she heard the wind. She stood there silently looking toward the wind and speaking softly to him. A smile was forever on her face as he blew and a new light in her eyes could be seen. He comforted her and she forgot of her sister and of her tables and windows. Nothing now she thought of, save for their love. Ledreanne then is comforted and returns inside. Most of the guest have went top bed and she sat near the door...awaiting the arrival of her sister.

[VioletFalcon129]

Lestiya,a human woman of medium height, with chestnut brown hair slams through the door, soaked. She quickly shuts and bars it behiend her. In her lethr guntlet covered hands, she holds a sword. "It was not raining" Serendi informed her," and the nearest water is so far, you would have dried on your way."
"Trouble just seems to follow me around doesn't it?" lestiya said angrily. " Grab whaterver form of defense you need. If you can't defend yourself, get into your room and make it secure. A group of thieves and minor mages. As i hagve said, you should not attack theives with theivery. And for heavens sake Ledreanne, hide the tables." the door is now shaking violently and a crak is appearing along the left side.

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne looked at Lestiya alert. She stood up and went to the doors. There was a growing crack right in the center. She quickly opened the doors (after puching the tables aside) and give or take 15 theives run in, bearing weapons and ready for battle. Yet something else caight Ledreanne's eye. One of them had a captive...her sister! Linialanor was blindfolded and wounded badly on her neck. She was dropped outside so that the theive could enter. Ledreanne run to the kitchen and can out with her quiver on her back. And as fast has she could she shot four of them with her silver arrows and then drew two dagers that were also with her arrows. She ran forth and slew two more with her blades of silver. She ran out and grabbed Lin and ran to the back door and placed her inside the kitchen. Then hastily ran back to slay more.

[VioletFalcon129]

Lestiya pulls out a small knife and quickly guts the thief who just jupmed apon her about to strike. Her lage alaskan husky, which they had not seen, bit the neck from another attacker. Serendi slayed several with a kitchen kife she had found, and caught fire to another.

ooc: it doen't matter about alaska does it? i just didn't want poeple to be like " a husky what? what was husky?"

[Estrella]

-remembers to breath again, and slides down hiding silently, having had seemed to slip into the woodwork again. Takes out several poison tipped darts, taking aim carefully, and hitting a few theives in the neck, watching them collapse. Looks around for anymore not being taken care of by the other two-

[Ledreanne313]

All the theives were now dead. Ledreanne brought Linialanor into the lounge and then down the hallway into one of the empty rooms. She laid her in bed and she woke her. Ledreanne made sure she was fine. Linial was cut on her collar bone. it was not a deep cut, yet still would effect her health. After that she told her that she was knock out by a blow to the head. She was very dissy and would stay in bed for many days. Ledreanne came out and started dragging the bodies out side to be burned.

[Helcaraxë]

The Sorcerer is now truly ticked off. But he decides that even what he opines to be arrogant elf girls like Ledreanne deserve help. He says, "Your little thieving nuisances are not done here. Your insults have angered me, but they are said through ignorance and as such I shall forgive you. Furthermore, I shall dispose of the rest of these brigands for you." He strides to the door and exits. A few minutes pass, and then a blinding flash shows through the windows, followed by a rending crash and then a great BOOM. Lord Alkarion comes back after a few minutes, holding two dead thieves. He hurls them to the ground. They have enormous holes through their chests, which smoke and give off the pungent smell of burning flesh. "Now," says the wanderer, "perhaps you shall believe me when I say that I am no circus magician, nor a jester, for magicians and jesters cannot summon fell lightning and white fire, and bend it to their wills. Yet perhaps you were not entirely at fault, for I rarely let those I meet see me for who I truly am. If you like, I shall conjure up a new silver table for you." Then he turns to Serendi, and his sly smile fades. "And no, I shall NOT clean that table, nor apologize. It is you who is a fool, and if you think I fear you or her, than you belong in a circus. I am the Sorcerer King of the North. Perhaps you should consult our polite elf-maid here for lessons on courtesy, or one day you might find yourself dead." He rather intends those insults to sting, for his anger is far from cooled. But when he turns to Ledreanne, He smiles slightly again. "If that window was valued by yourself so much, I suppose compensation is necessary." He opens his cloak and draws out three purses of gold and another window identical to the one he crashed through. "I believe that about covers it. All debts on my part are paid, though I cannot say the same of yours. But no matter. Consider my services repaid by your dissatifaction with them."

OOC: No hard, feelings, VioletFalcon.:)

[VioletFalcon129]

OOC: that's just fine. people say meaner stuff than that to me and mean it at shcool. Serendi is a bit or an idiot really, very protective of her friends, she thinks she's all powerful. she needed that.

Serendi smiles fakely and drums her fingers together, then stalks off the the kitchen to disintagrate the soup pot. Lestiya turns to Lord Alkaron and says " Hello, i have always wanted to say something like that to her, but she can turn me green or something so i was afraid, thank you. By the way, i'm Lestiya.'wanted in 7 lands' i cant even name 7 lands but i've probly been to most of lands in middle earth. this is my dog, dragon.he's not too friendly to attakers, but he'll be nice to you. he knows what can kill him, he does. i have no doubt you can. Who might you be, meaning your name? i know it's probly something long, so can you tell me a short version?" she stands smiling wating to shake hands just in case he wants too.

[Ledreanne313]

She listened not to them. They were not offened as she was. Ledreanne takes no heed to the presents. They are made by magic only and are of no value to herself. She said nothing but drew an arrow to her bow too fast for the mortal eyes to see. She aimed at him silently and spoke only 'Leave. Your magic does not please me and I still see you as a fool. No elf maid am I, but an elven solder of Eryn Lasgalen, head of the gaurd armies. My aim is deadly and no magic effects me. I shall look upon you no more.' She seemed to grow in stature, even taller than she normally was. She moved not. The colour in her eyes were vailed with shadow and her pale skin shined with the moon ahead. Her red hair now foward as a terrivley strong Wind blew from behind her. So hard was it that the tables shifted and difficult to stand still. Yet she did so. The wind has come for her and will fight beside her. The stars shone ever birghter and the moon watched over. All was silent exept the howl of the wind.

ooc: Yeah, just a character fight: Not a real one:) I'm to nice for that:rolleyes:

[VioletFalcon129]

Lestiya feels stupid for not caring about what he said to Ledreanne. She almost slaps herself on the head, but stops herself. Feeling sad, she sits down to watch, hoping no one dies. The most powerful beings she has seen about to fight almost scared her.

[Estrella]

-stands back up slowly blinking.slips over to the nearest corner, and leans back hiding her shaking hands behind her back. watches-

[Helcaraxë]

At first ignoring Ledreanne, he turns to Lestiya and shakes her hand warmly. "A pleasure. I wish we had time to talk, but I believe I have another engagement." He turns back to Ledreanne and laughs in her face. "No magic may harm you, eh? Perhaps no magic from some dusty tome, but NONE are invincible to MY magic. It is more ancient than you can imagine, as am I. Loose that arrow, and you shall never loose another." He too seems to become taller and more imposing. He raises his hand, and the arrow snaps. The bow flies from her hand. "Do not make me kill you. I tried courtesy, and you throw my words in my face. I tried firmness, and you still would not yield to my kind intentions. I rid your hovel of thieves, and for thanks, I get threats?! I warn you, elf, you are treading dangerous ground. I could kill you in an instant. Believe me, I make no empty threats; I cannot lie on pain of death. I shall give you one last chance to abandon the path you are now walking, for it leads only to fire and blood. You have yet to learn gentle words, but I must try and teach them to you. But should you refuse.......should you refuse and once more make hollow threats on my life, know that my power is beyond your comprehension. The wind and the stars themselves may come to your aid, but they shall NOT avail you, for nothing can against ME. I ask you once more, for YOUR OWN SAKE, cease this folly!!"

ooc: this is fun....trading insults...:D

[Ledreanne313]

ooc: Yeah...I like arguements.:)

ic: Ledreanne kneels down to dodge the snapping arrow and from her back she draws her blades. Shaped as boomerangs and act as them also. She throws them at him, not to kill of course. They spin around him in an 8-shape and slightly cut the clothing on his arms and then return to her. 'I cannot withstand ancient magic for I am not one that can use such! Yet my blades can withstand your ancient power for they were made with it! They will sheild me of your blows and so no magic effects me!' She stood again, holding her blades crossed over her chest. 'Your words do not faulter me and your magic does not give me fear! Leave now with peace and forgivement or stay and not only lose forgivement yet something much more!' The Wind blew ever harder, making it quite hard to keep one's eyes open. Dinweth (her horse) stomped loud and nieghed. Ledreanne spoke loudly to her, 'uaha, Gwath. I hiruva belthole!*'

*'Settle, Shadow. This lord can harm you!'

[Helcaraxë]

"You still do not understand! My power is not the ancient power: it is more ancient still! See!" Lightning lances from his hand and strikes the blades. They shatter and pieces almost hit Ledreanne, but the lord again raises his hand and the pieces of steel rebound before they slice her. "You cannot harm me! You cannot even lift your hands." It is true- Ledreanne's arms are pinned to her sides. "Yet I see that you are wiser than I first believed. So long as you understand that you are not Elbereth herself in the flesh, I have naught else to say, save this. I have brothers, for I am not the last of my order. They are not so powerful as me, yet they are still the mightiest beings left in middle earth, for the Istari are gone (and even so, we are as potent as they). Should you speak to them as you have spoken to me, they shall not be merciful; they will strike you down where you stand. Do not believe they cannot. I myself stayed your hand with but a trifle of my ability; should I set my mind to it, I could lay waste to this inn and all the lands around for miles, as could my bretherin. I have taken an odd liking to your courage and ferocity, and hard as it may be to believe I do not wish you ill. Be careful. We shall meet again; I have forseen it. You are destined for greater things than this inn, though you may not wish them. Until then, I bid you farewell and eruspeed." A thunderous clap rocks the inn, and the Lord Alkarion, King of the Sorcerers, vanishes in a flash of white light. But before he is gone, a ribbon of blue fire extends from his hand, and where it touches the pieces of the swords, they knit together until both blades are once more whole. A faint whisper of his voice says, "Farewell..." And then it too fades.

ooc: I rather liked that ending. No one was hurt and The Sorcerer King acted according to his station, as did Ledreanne. If I caused any damage when I made the blades shatter, I'll gladly reimburse you, Ledreanne. j/k:D

[VioletFalcon129]

Lestiya stared open mothed at where he had been. if magic could be stolen............ she would be powerful. alas it could not. her dog had been barking wildly through the whole thing, and it barked still at the place where he had vanished. Hse quieted him. "Lady Ledreanne, you tables are not worth so much as your life." she cautioned. Serendi poked her head from the kitchen. where had he gone? was he behind her? she whirled around. she thought the thunder meant he had gone, but she would still be paranoid for a while.

[Helcaraxë]

ooc: I wait in unbearable suspense to find out what Ledreanne does next. I want to create a really funny character, but I don't want to ruin the elf-maid's thought/reaction process, if you know what I mean.

-MGB

[Ledreanne313]

ooc: I'm not an elf-maid, more so warrior:)

ic: Ledreanne's arms released and she gathered her blades. She stood and looked. The wind changed directions and blew towards her. She retieved her bow and gathered her arrow. With no words or expression she walked to the hallway where the inn rooms were and at the end of the dark hallway, she pushed through an unseen door and walked down spiral stairs and entered their library. It was far larger than the rest of the inn and every wall was filled with books. Most written by her fathers and some written by herself. Many letters were kept there and Serendi even wrote some, for she is a good writer. Ledreanne walked to the right shelf and picked a large book titled, 'Ancient Power Istari and other sources' 1000 or more pages there had to be. She placed the book on the table and started reading silently.

She thought nothing or Lord Alkarion, but of Arda. If so great a power was loose in the world, the dark seeds that still linger in Arda could get entangled with these beings. And that could take a turn for the worst. As strong as the Dark Lord, Sauron, himself they could be. Yet she knew and felt that Alkarion was no Maia. These hidden beings were forever in her mind as she pictured the War of the Ring...could they repeat the evil that was once present in the world that was destroyed? Could they be ever powerful that the Dark Lord? These question she could not answer, nor high Lord Elrond or Queen Galadriel. She then prayed to the Valar for the answers she seeked for. No answer did she recieve. She looked out the high windows of the library and spoke, 'Elbereth Gilthonel, shine bright the stars in the night sky.'

ooc: Boring it may be to you, yet that is what she did:)

[Estrella]

- walks out of the corner slowly, several shades paler, and not fully understanding what had just happened. she slumped down into a chair, feeling she should leave right then, but knowing she was in no state to go out into the night after a group of thieves had come, and not sure if there were more. She just curled up her legs and wrapped her hands around her ankles, resting her head on her knees, waiting for morning, and wishing Lieka was there right then.-

[Helcaraxë]

ooc: I kinda liked that.:D

An enormously fat hobbit walks in to the in and goes up to Ledreanne. "Bobberbasterbinglebongerbammerbakkerbogger Baggins at your service. I saw your little ordeal through the keyhole. Beggin' your pardon your inkeeperness,. but I don't think it was forgiveness he was a' asking for, because none was due. He did protect your in and maybe your life, and not a word o' thanks. Meaning no offense, but it was HIS forgiveness you should a' been asking for. But no matter. I need no meals. See," He does an ood skipping dance to a table, and sits down. He reaches into his mouth and draws out a ham on a plate, and some silverware, and begins to eat. "Just a fool's trick. No matter.":D

[VioletFalcon129]

Lestiya wonders why anyone would have a name so long. He might have some money to steal....... She best not riun her freinds's inn's reputation.

[Ledreanne313]

ooc: I'm guessing she came out of the library:rolleyes:

ic: 'Mae Govannon, little hobbit.' She welcomed him! 'I thanked not Lord Alkarion, for I need not to! He did not protect my inn from anything! He killed 2 of more than 15. It would have been fine without him! Serendi here could of fought them off alone even!' Then she walked to the kitchen and called to Serendi, 'Best make another soup pot, Serendi! We have a hungry little hobbit here. And you know how they can eat!' She smiled.

[Estrella]

-unfolds her legs stretching, her color now returned. Stands up and walks over to Ledreanne, smiling- Ledreanne, do you have any more rooms available? - yawns- I normally don't sleep at night, but i think i can make an exception.

[Helcaraxë]

He sees Lestiya watching him and says, "No, I haven't got any money, if that's what your a' thinkin', and don't think you could steal any if I did. We Bagginses don't take kindly to thieves and murderers. And you, my valiant elf-warrior-turned-inkeep, you still owe him thanks. Beggin' your pardon, but nothin' oble'gated him to help you but he did, however slightly. And beggin' your pardon, but I've got my soup right here." He opens his cloak and draws out an enormous steaming kettle that could not possibly have fit in there, and drains it all in a gulp. "But thankee kindly for your kind 'ospitality anyway. Tell yee what, I'm the cleverest fool in the world, if you take my meaning. I'll pre'form fer all yer guests, and you jus' give me a one-bed room. Well, what say yee, O Noblest of Inkeepers? Shall the pact be sealed?"

ooc: I like this guy..:D

[Ledreanne313]

'Yea, Starr, we have many rooms still! Here, this is for room 7.' SHe handeed her a large purple key. 'Serendi made this room...not surprising it's all purple! And I am terribley sorry that you had to witness something as such...so the room for the night is free!' She smiled.

She walked over to the hobbit and said, 'Yea, you may have a room! Yet I still do not have a reason to thank Alkarion. I am an Elven-warrior of old, Master Baggins, and those theives were but fools! I could have fought them of alone and more! Nothing else did Alkarion do! Ecspecially to help me...he just added on to my own mystery!' Then she walked upstairs and came back and handed him a deep green key. 'Here is your room key! It is just around the corner down that hallway, number 12. It is very noticable for it has a bright green door with golden handle and large numbers of Gold also.'

[VioletFalcon129]

Hmmmmm. No money. How could this 'fool' know she was a murderer? Had she said anything about such things? She thought not. She had a strange feeling that it might be that Alkaron person is disguise. She didn't know why.

ooc: why does every one know what Lestiya is thinking by her face???

[Helcaraxë]

ooc: My response to that, VioletFalcon, is pathetically predictable.;)

ic: "And my good lady," He says as he turns to Lestiya, "Don't be a' thinkin' that I've a' anything to do with that big lump of a Sorcerer, only I'm a' believing that I'm in the right here, as is he. And more importantly, I heard what he'd been a' saying 'bout his old brothers in the North with frost on their beards, and we don't be a' wantin' our fine elf-princess here to be a' getting blown to dust by some half-mad power-crazed warlock. And I don't be a doubtin' for a second what they's capable of, and I'm quite sure that man (or whatever) could have killed her with nary a second thought, and almost did. I be meaning neither of ya no ill, I swears it from the bottom of my tough old heart, but sometimes, Lady Ledreanne, discretin' is the better part of valir. But as I waz a' sayin', don't be a' thinkin' o' me as some shapechanger, cause everyun' in the Shire knows old Bobberbasterbinglebongerbammerbakkerbogger Baggins."

ooc: all miss-spelled words are deliberate, as fitting the hobbit's character. ;)

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne smiled as the hobbit talks on and on. Then she just smiled and said, 'I would rather die a strong-hearted elven-warrior of my fathers than live a fright-sticken fool of the rest of my kin.'

[Estrella]

-smiles taking the key- thanks... Heh. It's k. it turned out fine in the end. -yawns agian- by the way, purple is my favorite color!-laughs at the hobbit slightly, walking up to her room-

[Ledreanne313]

'We're fright-sticken fools?' Asked Linialanor from behind Ledreanne. She had heard what she said and she was quite offended!

Ledreanne turned around, wide-eyed of surprise. 'Lin!' She sid! 'You are not a fool, I called you not one!'

'You said only our fathers were elven warriors. The rest of your kin are fools?'

'No of course not. I meant Mother.'

'Mother is no fool.'

'She abandoned her family.'

'She has not!' She yelled at her. 'She has found another love and he is her family. She has only left us hoping that we would follow. Which I have.'

'Mother found another love...yet not even one mortal year after father's death!'

'Yet she stilled loved him!'

'Linialanor! Do not argue with me! I am far older and far wiser than you! You cannot out-wit me!'

Linialanor then, feeling weak, stopped arguing with her and said, 'I would not have stopped, yet I am ill and I must return to bed. You might me far older and wiser than me yet I have a purer heart.' Then she walked off back to her room.

[VioletFalcon129]

Every one was fighting. She didn't like fiting if it wasn't with weapons and such. " Ledreanne?" she asked "is there any place near by that might interest me? I have nothing to do, and say nothing of cleaning dishes or scubbing flors either." Ledreanne knew what she meant, a place where she could find someone who needed a bounty hunter. maybe.

[Helcaraxë]

Once again prattling amiable, he says to Ledreanne, "Now, I know you're quite a marvel of wisdom, and I mean that from the bottim' of me old black heart, but age doesn't always bring wisdim' if you're a' takin' my meanin'. The way I sees it, insights and wisdim' favor some and not others, but age aint got a nothin to do wid it. So hoo was this tragic muther o' yurs of which you be a' talkin', my fair, fierce elf? No, on second thought I don't s'pose it matters if youre not inclined to tell me. No need to bring up old grief. So what songs would ya like sung in your merry inn? "Upon the Hearth"? Splendid! Couldn't have chosen a better one myself." He starts singing in a rich, sonorous voice.

"Upon the hearth
the fire is red
beneath the roof
there is a bed
but not yet weary
are our feet..." ect. ect.

OOC: VF, Yes I was also wondering about Serendi. There were only five Istari, and we know they are all male. Or is she some non-istari magic user like my character? And why does Anne like Lestiya if she is a murderer?

[Ledreanne313]

ooc: They are old friends and she only murders because she needs to stay alive...I think?

ic: 'Well, my hobbit, I was not accociating wisdom and age together! I am far older, yes, and yet I am also far wiser than her. Two different things I meant for it to seem.' She paused and sat down, weary of that day, and spoke again saying, 'My Mother, Namaviel, was not so a noble women. She was quite young when I was born and waited a thousand years later for my sister. My father was a noble warrior, traveler, or wanderer. Great bowsman and sword-bearer. Yet he died some years ago in battle. I was never close to my mother and yet became a traveler myself. And in that same mortal year my mother wed another. More than 100 of your years are but one year for us elves. So wedding that same mortal years was never done before. And so I hate her, for it seems that she wanted him gone. Never again shall I look upon her.' She stopped and stood again. She explained fast for she has done before and then sighed and walked off.

[VioletFalcon129]

ooc: you were right about Serendi. She's just a person who can use magic, but not not an Istari. As for Lestiya..... does wanted in 7 lands mean anything to you? ( i am not going for meaness here) adn you can call me Raen

ic: "Hobbit, if your heart is balck, i need to find mine a new color.
I'll be off to the Library now." she goes to the library.
Serendi comes out of the kitchen "Hello hobbit." she says" and how might you be? Need you any food? We have much to choose from." she hoped he wanted something she had nothing to do. What was Lestiya doing here? Shouldn't she be off killing some innocent victim? But that wasn't her buisiness. She was no victim.

[Helcaraxë]

ooc: ok....Raen. Somehow I'm not used to calling people I talk to on the net by their names.

ic: The hobbit cuts off his singing. "Why, yes, thank you. I'd like three plates of venison, a cauldron of soup, four pints of four finest smooth red of a good vintage, a bowl of nectar, and twelve loaves of fresh-baked bread, if you don't mind. Need to fill me fat old belly, eh? Well, our not-so-little seems to have become a bit sober. Poor thing.

Serendi was not in a cooking mood, but she set off to get to work. Handn't this fellow claimed he carried no money?

[Estrella]

-walks down from her room, her hair braided back, little hairs already escaping, with a sketch book in her left hand, a pencil behind her ear, a small magnfying glass around her neck, and a light purple cloak thrown over her right arm- good morning! - hums an upbeat melody, falling back into a chair-

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne walked behind the counter, hoping this new day will bring new customers. She looked to Starr as she came out of the hallway (ooc: The stairs are off limits to guests, the rooms are in the hallway off to the right) and said to her, 'Glorious Morning to you! I am hoping that your night was well.' Then she took out a bottle of ink and a piece of paper which was very old and crumbling, from under the counter nd placed it on top. She then took a large, greenish-blue feather out also and started writing in the beautiful Elven writing, Tengwar. On she went and when she was done she put it in an envelope and sealing it with wax. She put the letter in her pocket of her cloak. Then she put a chair behind the counter and sat.

For many an hour she sat and looked around and stood and sat again. Yet she stood again and put her elbow on the copunter and rested her head on her hand. Then on the closed doors you could hear a rumble and a scratch and a moving of the hadle. The doors were not opened from the night before she she could not she who it was. She sat up and looked at the doors with a confusd look. And just about when she was going over to open the doors it was pushed open slightly and there stood a small hobbit with long red hair and brown eyes with many freckles. Ledreanne smiled big and said softly, 'Tifet!' And ran over and onpened the doors and kneeled down to be at the same hieght. The hobbit and Ledreanne then embraced each other, the small young hobbit being hid under Ledreanne's large cloak. 'Well, Tifettarm Took it be! Why so far from home?' Ledreanne asked her with glee.

'Well, I've heard of your inn, Anne, and I could not wait to see you once again! I missed you greatly! It has be so long since we seen each other!I think the question is rather; 'Why don't ya visit the Shire any longer?'

'I have been terribley busy, Tifet. I am so sorry. I wish I could come see the Shire more often, yet my hectic life does not allow me!'

'It's your life and you can do what ya want with it! And anyways, you have everlastin' life, unlike myself. So ya better hurry it up and come to the Shire before I'm gone!'

'Tifet! You are but 16 years of age! Worry not my young one. I will come!' She replied. Then they both sat at a table and started talking for much time.

[Estrella]

ooc: sorry.. i'll change it. Kinda made perfect sense to me.

Ic: ohhh it was very fine. thank you. -puts on her cloak, hood down.- I didn't get a chance to really explore last time i came... so i shall take advantage of this now. -she figured she could get some very valueable research done- ohh almost forgot! - runs back to her room, careful not to make too much noise, and grabs her canteen.runs back down the hall.- don't wanna go thirsty. - puts the canteen across her diagonally- Well, I'll be staying another night, for sure. What kind of wildlife do you have around here?

[Ledreanne313]

Ledreanne looks to Starr, 'Well...I am not exactly sure what you mean. Wildlife...hum...well there is the great forest, Lothlorien, not to far off to the west. Behind the inn is our stables, you may ride one of our horses if none you have. I hope that's what you were asking for.'

[Estrella]

That's perfect. Thank you for the horse, it is a bit of a far walk. I'm no expert, but I can manage. good morning, by the way.i'm afraid i forgot that little part. - Laughs smiling. walks out to the stables, and staddles a horse. rides off to the west at a gentle trot,singing a song-

[VioletFalcon129]

Serendi greets Tifet happily. Lestiya comes back out from the library. She had fallen asleep there. " Why hello young hobbit!" she greets Tifet grandly " And who might you be? I be Lestiya, you may know more of me than i have told which is none, or is it?" she was having fun trying to confuse tha hobbit. " For many know me without my saying but you will not, for something i have said. What is it? Can you guess"

[Estrella]

-A boy looking to be in his late teens walks in. He wore several thick strands of brown thread in his silver-white hair, and a green dot on the middle of his forehead. On his back he carried a cross bow, and shaft of arrows, and several daggers hidden on his arms. He looked around through distracted hazel eyes at the three people, Holding two badly burned kittens wrapped in bandages- Good day. I am looking for a miss Star. Is she still staying here by chance?

ooc: I thought i'd give this multiple character thing a try... :D

[Ledreanne313]

Tifet, who was not confused by Lestiya, replies talking very fast, 'What are you? Hum...well, I know you're female, and so am I. And I know you're mortal, yet I am also. So we really aren't that much different. Though you are much taller than me, yet conpared to Anne you are shorter...so you really aren't the big. And does your hieght have to do with what you do? Because I couldn't do some things you can, and you can't do some things I can. But if you can do what I can do...then can I do what you can?....Or the other way around?' She smiled and giggled.

Ledreanne looked to the boy and spoke saying, 'Nay, sorry. She has just left west on horseback heading toward the Great Forest Lothlorien.' She stood, her hieght towering over his, and bowed her head slightly and said, 'Mae Govannon, young one, may I help you in another way?'

[Estrella]

-shakes head sighing- yes... just some rice and vegitables, I don't care what kind as long as it's not aspirigus. And some ale. - looks down at the kittens- Do you perhaps have a bit of meat and warm milk for these two. -smiles weakly. Mutters something about I can't bele
