( A quiet clearing of the throat; one can naturally assume it is a very beautiful clearing of the throat, done by a very beautiful man. )

This matter of the phylacteries for rifters… it seems sensible. If they are such a valuable resource to the Inquisition, the closing of rifts, and so on, being able to find said resource if a rival power were to try and overpower them and abscond with them makes sense, I think. For their own safety, for our own safety. If Corypheus and his forces were, for example, to make an attack on a party closing a rift and kidnap those rifters for nefarious purposes, it would be better for all if we were able to find them as quickly as possible. The phylacteries are an established way of doing just this, no?

By all means, if you wish to see the world end, protest. Even if this is not your world, though, I think we can all agree that you are currently in it. It’s fate is not entirely irrelevant to you.

It seems Gwenaëlle has been watching you and Thranduil very closely. Among a few others. I'd recommend asking for the performance, next time she's intoxicated enough to give it.

[ There's humor in his voice, because it was a fun time, and continued to be once Thranduil came back and they managed to convince him to stop being a politician long enough to relax and get lit with them. Thankfully, it's passed by now, and despite the poor circumstances, Galadriel seems like a wise, kind soul, and he's happy to have met her now. ]

Ceádmil - Well met, Galadriel. [ force of habit, he still greets elves with his native tongue, even in a world where it doesn't exist. The last bit of her question surprises him somewhat. ]

I am Iorveth, yes, though I hadn't realized I was to meet you. By whose suggestion?

[ Just out of curiosity. He's assuming it was either Thranduil or Gwenaëlle, as those are the only two he's heard of her from, but didn't imagine either found it important enough to make a formal request of her to meet him. Huh. ]

Thranduil. [The answer is given easily and with a certain lightness of tone.]

I expect he thought I would take a liking to you. From what you have said, already, he was correct.

Mae Govannen, Iorveth, we should speak more about these phylacteries. In person would, perhaps, be wisest.

Ah, Thranduil. He possesses a noble soul, and one I hadn't expected to meet in my lifetime.

[ And he's done much on Iorveth's behalf, to his advantage and betterment, that he's grateful for. If it were anyone else, Iorveth might've started to suspect he's being bought off or manipulated towards some end, but they'd seemed to have made a connection. Something resonating between. It's worth putting faith into. ]

I'm pleased I've not yet disappointed, and I'd gladly meet with you. Where can I find you?

I am oft in the courtyard before the dawn, the sunrise hold some dearness to me, but my quarters will suffice if you are not given to rising so early.

I've slept in forests for the majority of the last century, and woken with the rest of nature - I'll be awake. And I'd happily spend the next dawn with you.
