[Private to Andreth, a few hours after her arrival post]

Have you settled in, my lady?

I find myself with a few free hours and if you wish, I could show you where you may dine, and other such places around the city.

As you say, lady. You are wise and I am not, this I know well. But I have never felt as if it were a thing insurmountable, or a thing that necessitates such a gulf between our kindreds. I have much love for elves and for Men; both are dear to me. Both are the Eruhin, and the turmoils of this world have we faced together.

I have already seen much that Men shall not. I need not see more.

	And yet Elves have faced them in bliss, even by your own word - you have seen things Men shall not. The Light, the Powers that Be even. But what shall come shall come, and we are as we are in Arda Marred. However unfair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would that I could change the fates of elves and Men, lady, but it is not in my power to do so. I am but the youngest son of the youngest son, and such power is not in me. I would share all the bliss I have known with you, if only I knew how. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nor is it your duty or responsibility Aegnor. Only He Himself may do so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well do I know it. Are you hungry? We may dine before I show you around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aye, but I will dine tonight with you and yours so we may fetch a small food before then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You should try coffee. It is delightful. We will have a cup, then I will show you around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Coffee? What is it that you speak of? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is a drink, lady. A hot drink. Slightly bitter, but I like mine with much cream and sugar. I adore it, and I should like to see what you think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A drink? A strange drink indeed, but I will try it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
