[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.

Och, well. 'Midgard' also means 'Middle Earth', or sommat like that. 'Tis how I was taught. It's where mortals live, half way between the branches and the roots of the World Tree. Yggdrasil, to some... but I doubt you know that name, either.

[Swann cannot think of anything else to ask her to make sure she's not an elf, fairy, or otherwise malign being. He's worried he's missing something, but his instincts--what he's been ignoring this entire conversation--are telling him to relax. He considered his instincts a bit daft sometimes.]

What do ye drink?

[He also has a habit of blurting things out when nervous.]

[There's a little startled laugh at the question.] What do I drink? That depends a great deal upon what I am offered. But I am most fond of wine, if that is what you wish to know.

[Was she going to laugh at everything he said? At least she didn't say 'blood' or 'the tears of puppies'.]

Wine... of berries and flowers and whatnot?

[Or blood and tears?]

[If he keeps being adorably nervous, yes, possibly.]

Naturally. It is most usually made from grapes, however. Is that true for you as well?

[it's not going to go away soon, alas]

Grapes are the common thing, aye, but we also make 'em with flowers, spices, honey, fish--that was an odd one--and I've heard of rice, sommat called socky, though I've nae had it.

Mostly grapes, though. I've nae had too much of the fancy stuff.
