[Conan beams. Pure, unadulterated, cheerfulness might not be enough to distract from the drab, gloomy interior of Hel's hall, but he's trying hard.]

Ne -- I was thinking! I've heard a lot of people wondering why we were here -- not the reason in the letter. Why us and not anyone else! So that got me thinking -- maybe we'll find out the answer sooner if we ask questions to a lot of people at once!

I've got one for everyone -- sorry if it's a bit weird, but try and answer the best you can, okay? I bet it'll be useful in the long run. Anyway -- how important are you in your world?

I'll be waiting for your answer -- thank you!

[And clicking the feed off, Conan lets out a sigh, massaging sore cheek muscles. Tch ... this better work ... ]

[And eventually it dawns on Conan that his companion is waiting a response.]

Ah, it's only a thought! I don't have the evidence to back it up--

Although, it's possible ... ne, Aragorn, have you met anyone here that you'd known of before you came here? By reputation I mean, not like Boromir-san.

[ This is the worst question to ask a Tolkien person. But really, it's easy to answer. ]

Nay. None at all. [ Might be a little disappointed. But more importantly- ]

Will you tell me of these 'Greek creation myths'?

Of course -- it might be easier to take you to that library though. It's been a while since I looked them up last.

But going back to my thought, since you're free of preconceptions, you might be able to give me a second opinion on this.

Let's wait until we've introduced you to Greek Myth though.

[ An affirmative sound. Then- ]

You are not a child, are you, Conan of Edo by the river?

[-- so lucky this is voice and Aragorn didn't see the face Conan made on hearing that.]

You flatter me too much, Aragorn-san!

I hear the library's in Odin district -- would you like to meet there? Maybe in a day or two -- I should have more to tell you about then!

[ ... So incredibly suspicious. So very, very suspicious. ]

Two hours past dawn in two days, Conan of Edo by the river. [ Softly, and he uses the title for a good reason - that is not a title of a child, but of a man. ]

I will see you there.

[Why does Conan have this suspicion that he is not convincing?]

See you then, Aragorn-san.
