I had hoped that when I departed New York it might be to return to Gondolin. But I see that fate would not have it be so.

Less this is all that remains of my city. As she will indeed be consigned to the sea.

Indeed? I didn't know that...! Well, I'm glad to hear that YOU have some more skill at the craft of - well, generally just, crafty, I suppose I mean...! I mean, I saw your wife's gushing, above!

Ah yes, of course you wouldn't know...! I'm sorry, milord! I mean, a wand would require a swatch of wood, sanded and whittled into a smooth shape, similar to the hand of the user, and threaded through with a core from a magical animal: such as a hair from a unicorn's mane or tail, which I've already managed to collect! I've also spotted a certain tree that... sort of called to me, I suppose you'd say - inside the forest, but... well, I had intended to take the maker of the wand back to it, with me, that he or she might be able to remove the swatch of wood him-or-herself...! Just because I know next to NOTHING of wand-making, and thus - well, I thought it would be better to take someone who KNOWS what they're doing...!

But still, if you're available today, milord, I can take YOU to the tree anyhow...!

	I build cities, my lady, that is my design. I cannot promise that I will succeed in this task but I will certainly try. It will be a prototype I create first, and then if I am satisfied I will thread the hair of the unicorn into another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, you're too much, calling me "my lady," milord...! ~~I am NO lady - nay, at all, really!~~

Indeed? Cities? How... lovely, really! I mean, if you DO build CITIES, then... well... Whittling SHOULD be among your skillset I trust? So... I can take you into the forest, of course, whenever you're available, and then... well, I DO have a whole HANDFUL of unicorn's hairs; the dear little colt allowed me to brush its mane for a good ten minutes before it skittered off...! heh...! Anyhow, if you DO make a working model from the unicorn's hair, well, I COULD test to make sure it works, before you made the final product -if, indeed, you even NEEDED to make a "Final Product" after the prototype...!

	And yet you have given me no other name by which to call you, my lady. But very well. Keep all your hairs but one, I must first work the wood and decide how best to weave the hair within. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, right! Sorry! Heh! I'm called Mary Selwyn, milord...! ~~And PLEASE stop calling me "My Lady", for a lady has modest and maidenly airs, and a virtue I somehow suspect that I lack...!~~ Oh aye, indeed, milord; I can do that...! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Indeed, well met, milord... But really now, I'm NOT a lady...! Only an Auror, a Dark Wizard hunter. If you DO insist on a title of some sort to apply to me, please make it Auror Selwyn, or else, simply Mary, rather than any of this "my Lady" nonsense... for really, i am NO lady, by any definition of the word ~~save, naturellement, the FEMALE human being meaning...!~~

	I am much more comfortable addressing you as 'lady', but if you insist I shall of course acquiesce, ~~Lady~~ Auror Selwyn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Actually, I think I'd prefer something more casual than THAT, even...! But if you insist upon a TITLE, milord, well... I'll give up arguing with you... Heh! Sorry! That is to say... So sorry for making you so uncomfortable, milord, when you're doing SO MUCH to help me...! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I assure you, milady, that arguing with him is an entirely pointless task. (Reply to this) (Parent)
