[ thranduil's voice is tight, if still somehow pleasant: ]

I understand that there are a great number of questions and concerns at the moment regarding the Inquisition's proposed policy of phylacteries for Rifters.

If there are concerns that anyone would wish to make known through official channels, the Research Division has been appointed to handle the research of this new, proposed policy. [ very pointed stressing. ] My office is where it has always been, and any concerns should be turned into the box reserved for correspondence of that nature.

I would remind all Rifters that we are yet considered a single unit. [ remember the curfew? ] That poor behavior will affect all of us- indeed, anyone currently afflicted with a Shard. I would advise them that this is never as true as it is now, and that consequences for actions taken in the heat of the moment are the same as those made when rational.

[It takes much effort on Newt's part, given his lack of patience with this sort of rubbish, but he does have to admit that Thranduil brings up a good point about his shard hurting when separated from other rifters.]

I suppose I can hope to encounter poisonous herbs, then. Sorry, I don't mean to unload this all on you. This is just...

[He lets out a long, tired sigh.]

These sorts of politics are exactly why I prefer the company of creatures to people.

I have been meaning to inquire after the griffons, now that you mention it.

[The resigned sadness remains in his tone, but it's also apparent that he perks up, just a little, at the prospect of perhaps becoming acquainted with such magnificent creatures.]

Thank you. I truly appreciate it.

I...I can only imagine how difficult a position this must be for you to find yourself in.

Still.

I will try to keep myself from causing you any further headaches. I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me.
