[ Would you look at that Asgard, it's a little Lady. Yes, capital L and everyone who sees her probably subconsciously makes it so in their heads as well because her amber-colored hair is falling in shining waves down her shoulders, there is not a wrinkle in sight on her dress and the look on her face can only be described as aristocratically displeased. When she opens her mouth, her accent also makes it clear that what we have here is an English Lady. ]

Why is it that nobody ever asks you if you want to turn your whole life upside down to save the world? And on a similar note, does anyone offer any form of instruction or training when it comes to the use of these powers that have just been thrust upon us?

[ At least the Moon Princess magic came with some sort instinctive know-how. Wasn't much, but it was something.

Oh but wait, she missed a sort of important step here, didn't she? ]

With that said, I believe introductions are in order. My name is Maria Merryweather. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

[ Well, not really since she isn't too pleased to be here, but it's the polite thing to say. ]

[arrogantsoandso]

Yes.

[He has just decided, because who are you even.]

Who are you and how do you know Maria?

maglor no he's not a cute puppy

[bythewaves]

[ have an amused quirk of the lip and a polite bow ]

Maglor at your service, young master. I met Lady Maria earlier, when she was but newly arrived.

he bites! (he probably doesn't)

[arrogantsoandso]

[He doesn't bow, because he has a point and Maglor being so cavalier is really making that difficult to recall.]

I don't really see where you got the impression that you can call her any odd name, jewel or otherwise.

Maglor's had his shots? or whatever the magical middle earth equivalent is

[bythewaves]

[ He does that, sorry Robin. ]

The lady in question does not seem to mind. [ he observes mildly, which is true enough ]

Ah, I fear that it is a common thing, in my world - a young lady ought to have an epesse or two - she shines so bright the name was easy. [ but because he may like to tease but Robin is new and he isn't that mean... ] If it upsets you so, young master, I will refrain, unless the lady tell me otherwise.

's alright, he's more bark than bite anyway

[arrogantsoandso]

Well, of course she doesn't mind when some nincompoop is talking her up.

[...no offense?]

She's not shining. Completely ordinary girl.

[...some offense.]

he's used to it WHY DOES EVERYONE REMIND HIM OF HIS FAMILY sob XD

[bythewaves]

Methinks the young master protests too much. [ amused elf lord is amuuuuuused ]

Ah, but she does. Joyful and clear. The young are ever bright. You as well, young master. [ HINT: do you want him to nickname you as well or are you going to give him something to call you, Robin? ]

[arrogantsoandso]

What does that make you? Dull?

[Because Maglor is old, obviously.

He's ignoring the hinting, thank you very much.]

[bythewaves]

[ try harder cock-Robin - and remember that you asked for it, later ]

[ His eyes shadow and dim briefly at that - for an instant, Robin can see that his guess was very accurate - Maglor is old, old, old. Ancient beyond counting - for a minute all those uncounted ages are in his eyes and that young face truly looks alien ]

Shadowed, I think. I have lived too long, and done too much to shine clearly any longer, pitya rusco.

[arrogantsoandso]

[Who was guessing? He was just being obnoxious.

He has no experience with meeting anyone like Maglor, so he can't see the age for what it is. Odd, it is that, and he's definitely thrown off-track.]

What?

[bythewaves]

[ sssh Robin doesn't have to admit that ]

[ Maglor shrugs off the shadows but his smile is a little sadder than it was before, perhaps ]

You will have to be more precise than that, pitya rusco.

[arrogantsoandso]

What are you calling me? Because if that's an insult, then...

[There's really not much he can do, is there?]

Stop.

[bythewaves]

Ah, but you have yet to give me a name to call you by, little fox, for so I called you.

[arrogantsoandso]

Robin. Robin de Noir.

Fox, yes? Not worm?

[Just making sure.]

[bythewaves]

Master Robin, then.

[ have another small bow ]

Aye, for you reminded me of one, earlier. [ he would never call Robin a worm, for he is, in fact, quite impressed by his loyalty - not that Robin knows that, of course ]I will not use it, if you prefer - but as I said, it is common to use an epesse.

[miss_merryweather]

Robin!

[arrogantsoandso]

Maria.

[miss_merryweather]

Stop being rude to Maglor!

[arrogantsoandso]

Figures that you'd like him, princess.

[miss_merryweather]

And what is that supposed to mean?

[arrogantsoandso]

I think you know what I mean.

[I think I'm talking out my arse.]

[miss_merryweather]

Actually I have no idea.

[arrogantsoandso]

Typical. Is that what you did in London, listen to bloo... [Wait. Lady.]

Listen to blokes like that? No wonder.

[miss_merryweather]

Maglor has been nothing but kind to me, why shouldn't I listen to him?

[arrogantsoandso]

I'm not calling you jewel.

[In case you were wondering.]

[miss_merryweather]

I'm not asking you to.

[ Stop being such a twit :| ]
