A curious purpose you have, mun. You speak of Elves and castles, magic and things I have read about as a child. My presence is elsewhere promised. There is little time for many things, and my father requests that I ride to Osgiliath... to whatever end.

Perhaps it would be kinder, to be whisked away to some land of magic, but my heart would be elsewhere.

I've met one of you before.

He was decent, for a do-good military type. Maybe you just need a break before you fuck off to try to get killed.

[whichtheydefend]

One of m kinsmen, or a man who would forfeit his life? Though I suppose the difference is little.

A pause would do nothing more but trouble me.

[with_my_teacup]

Yeah, let's just go with 'kinsmen.'

Then again you always were real duty-bound and tightass like that.

[whichtheydefend]

There is no shame in dedication. Do you have no cause?

[with_my_teacup]

No cause but survival. No home but wherever I'm standing. We ain't got much in common.

[whichtheydefend]

That much is apparent. A nomadic life is not an easy one.

[Shrug] Nothin' I can't handle. Still, been good to meet new people outside my universe for a while.
