FORM: Sending crystal.
SENDER: Thranduil
RECIPIENT: The Inquisition
WHAT: They don't make Fodor's guides for Thedas.
WHEN: Kingsway 4th
WHERE: Halamshiral
NOTES: Thranduil uses his favorite new word. 

Good evening, Inquisition. I require a guide for the Elven quarter of Halamshiral. I seek someone who was familiar enough with the area before the fires that they would have an idea of locations even now. I am offering three crowns and lunch for the service.

No shemlen need apply.

I'm sorry, ser. I only have stories to go by. I don't know if they would be of any use.

[rowancrowned]

'Stories'? Of where things once were?

[kallian_endris]

Sort of? There is a lot of history in Halamshiral. My mother was a bard, and some of the stories and songs talk about certain places, depending on what you're looking for. It's not really a map, but... it's all I have.

[rowancrowned]

Though I suspect it to be useful, and I am humbled by you offer of aid, I am afraid I must decline. I will be needing a more exact knowledge for this.

If you wished to share stories of the city and these songs, I would offer the same compensation. I am eager to explore this place.

[kallian_endris]

I understand.

If you wish to hear them, it would be my privilege, serah.

[rowancrowned]

Name a time and place, and I am yours.

[kallian_endris]

I... what? [He's caught her offguard.] I don't presume... Messere, I am only a humble healer. It is I who am at your beck and call.

[rowancrowned]

I offer. And who am I, that you must humble yourself so? I am no one important.

[kallian_endris]

Nor am I, messere. I'm no one, really.

[rowancrowned]

What a delight. The price for lunch for two no-ones must be less expensive than that for two someones, do you not think?

[kallian_endris]

I... I suppose so. ...would you like to meet for lunch at some point?

[rowancrowned]

Any time you would like. I need but a few day's notice.

[kallian_endris]

I understand. I will think on it, messere. You're very kind to offer.
