The orc still did not know this world well, lingering in the shadows and looking for a clue as to why he had been sent here. With his green skin and white tusks, he didn't fit in here, that much he had already figured out. People didn't know someone like him. He towered over people in height and width. He covered his body with a brown poncho that covered him quite well, but that was all he could do. He could hunt here, which was why he didn't get too close to people, but he picked up rumors and things here and there that helped him along. The earth here was strange to him, but the elements still listened to him. That helped him get by here, but magic worked differently here. It was confusing for the shaman, but he accepted it. Somehow.

On one of the nights when he lit a small fire, on the edge of a mountain range to be at least partially protected (and a small cave at his back), he heard someone's footsteps before he saw the person. Even though he was a shaman, Thrall carried a sword. He grabbed it and watched the shadows. He could be recognized in the tongues of flame and it wasn't long before he spotted someone.

"If you want to sit by my fire and warm yourself, you can do so. Peacefully." Did the stranger understand him? His voice was deep and slightly rumbling, cloaked in a foreign accent.

[Various Question Meme from @vicit-vim-virtus for Elrond.]

❛ Sorry, did you want to be alone? ❜ ------------

Did she? The answer to that question hesitated in her throat, uncertain purely for not having been considered prior. "I had thought I would be," In essence, at least, given she walked by the fountains in the public square, "but company's not unwelcome."

Once a face was familiar in Imladris, and provided one didn't wander where they shouldn't, a guest's privacy was usually respected beyond greetings and idle or necessary chat. Thera canted her head a little aside, wondering which it was the young Elf pursued.

Regardless, it would help to draw her from her own thoughts as they continued to circle and spin like a coin.

"Elrond, is it not? I'm afraid I'm still not familiar with everyone here."

@vicit-vim-virtus liked for an angst starter The pain - it was blinding. Literally. The pulsing of the orb, so intense, his fear and stress, it had begun to glow. The lines illuminating through his skin, thrumming with Netherese energy. Where they passed through his eyes, blackening his sclera, the pupil had begun to shine. So now he was being rendered unable to see through, adding to the terror. Adding to the pain. Gale knew he needed to calm down, the threat of detonation so close, but - "I'd recommend keeping some distance from me right now." he held up a hand, his good one, the bandaged one held close to his chest. "I - I shall be fine in just a moment - it ah - it's just a little - a little -" he grimaced, another wave of blistering pain. "A little hungry."

             ❝  OH ,  I'M  FINE  。。。  ❞  says the man lying on the ground with a pike sticking out of his torso. Seems someone got a bit too reckless during this particular battle. Typical Puck behavior. 

He's coughing up blood. Hm, and oozing it, too. From a whole number of places. Fascinating. 

             ❝ I think I'll take a nap right here, though. If 's okay with you. ❞

. "You simply haven't been out in nature enough, then," Halsin said with a chuckle. For how large his hands were, they were delicate as they cradled the displacer kitten. Its mother lay dead nearby, her ambush on the party failed. "Displacer beasts weren't always of Faerûn, but they're part of it now. I suppose some have only seen them as part of entertainment or at a distance."

"Here." The kitten's uncoordinated tendrils patted at Luran's hands as Halsin directed Luran to hold it. He carefully directed the other in holding the kitten, her paws batting at Luran's sleeves so she could bite into the fabric. "Until we can find pack or grove, we'll take care of her. Just don't let her bite you, those teeth are small but sharp."

Anna without a doubt loved to travel. It was so thrilling and different than what she experienced while growing up, meeting so many new people and learning several different cultures. She loved it, well most of it. Some journeys felt unnecessarily long and whenever she returns several hundred things are piled up.

The princess had so much to catch up on, especially with her boyfriend. So she gave a note to a maid who swore would not read it and would hand it off to her partner wherever he was in the castle-- most likely in the stables. She was exhausted from all the traveling, but she could certainly muster the energy to spend some time with her partner for just a little bit before she had to go back to her mundane princess duties.

She was far too busy imagining things when the other had entered the room, she felt that just stating things more directly would help minimize the chitter-chatter and make the most of their time. It was not until she heard clearly who was in the room that she snapped her head around to see who had entered.

"Luran! What are you doing here?" Her face became redder than her hair as she quickly scrambled up from the couch. Thank goodness she was clothed. She did a quick run across the room to blow out a few candles and grab a pair of flats to put on. "I was expecting someone else to be here, I'm sure you can assume who." Now her mind was thinking about when the person who was supposed to be here was to arrive. "Is this urgent? I had other...plans set for my day." She is sure he can assume those too, did she need to put this all in some sort of agenda for him to know?

[Scenario Meme from @vicit-vim-virtus for Luran.]

42.  TRESPASS :  for one muse to trespass on the other’s property. ------------

The most difficult parts of being a traveling healer, giving all due credit to the vagaries of each town and the amazingly mixed bag of ailments and injuries that shuffled themselves to the door of whatever room she'd rented to work out of, were the hours. Sometimes it seemed like every single person in town came seeking her services, and indeed sent word to their relatives in the next to come on over, too.

The up side was that those who could afford to pay usually did, or at least she earned enough gold to be able to eat, stable her horse and pay for lodgings - in this case the upstairs room at the same inn that she was trudging tiredly toward, where her personal belongings were set for safekeeping.

To which the door was open.

Thera's gait changed abruptly, from an exhausted shuffle to a mix of cautious stealth and angry speed, looming in the doorway like a slender, human-sized thundercloud.

"I should warn you," She told the person within, teeth grit,, "that I'm very much too tired for any sort of nonsense."

@vicit-vim-virtus said: "How's your head?" — For Mythe, from Luran (my lil DnD / BG3 oc who I recently added to my muse roster heh).

. His expression was bewildered. He could barely remember if he was where he was supposed to be. If he concentrated, he could remember the fight in flashes, parries and the shriek of metal on metal, unintelligible words. But the whole of it was gone, and now his head ached- more than what was normal.

"It's..." His eyes flitted around, lips drawn into a thin line as he searched for his gear. Had the attack...? His brows furrowed. "I won't lie to you- I've not a single clue where in the seven hells I was before this."

For a moment, one brown and one ever-twitching infernal eye focused on Luran and he snapped.

"Wait, I remember you. You were on the Nautiloid! I think I got hit with a bloody rock by a coward." More the fool him for not putting his helmet on. "Hope he gets eaten by a goblin."
