[The video feed flips on, focusing (after a few seconds of jostling around) on Galadriel, sitting on the steps of the Initiative Hold, her sheathed sword beside her. Having just finished training, she’s attired appropriately, wearing a simple dress and with her hair braided and wound about her head- displaying those pointed ears quite prominently for those who might have missed them before.]

I grow weary of the constant grey here. It is overlong since I have heard a running stream or seen the sunlight filtered through the forest canopy.

Tell me, those of you who have journeyed outside this city: does greenery yet remain in this world? It would do my heart well even to hear of it.

Nor can I- though I suppose that is to be expected from one of my kind. [Elves. What can you do?]

[alwaysforhim]

Ah-- truthfully, my lady, we don't have your kind in my world. I've only met them here.

[inafadingcrown]

[She leans forward a bit.] And yet you have met others. Might I trouble you for names?

[alwaysforhim]

Merrill is the one I know best. The other I met only briefly-- Fenris.

Might I ask your name, my Lady?

[inafadingcrown]

Merrill I have met briefly. The other I do not know.

[She gives a little nod.] I am the Lady Galadriel. And you, my young friend?

[alwaysforhim]

Merlin of Camelot. It's an honor to meet you, my lady.

[inafadingcrown]

It is a pleasure, Merlin. Have you been here long?

[alwaysforhim]

Only a month. It's very . . . strange here. I've never encountered anything like it before. Not the people nor the place-- nor even the way they make a fool of time.

[inafadingcrown]

Nor have I, in truth. [Which is saying something, considering how long she's been around.] That is a power I have never seen, not even wielded by the Istari.

[alwaysforhim]

[His gaze grows hungrier at that word-- not greedy, no, but there's an obvious thirst for knowledge in his expression.]

I-- I'm not familiar with that word, I think. Who are they?

[inafadingcrown]

Ah- forgive me. It means simply "Wise ones" in Sindarin. You would say "wizards," I think.
