[As usual, Galadriel appears on the tablet looking like a queen about to address her people. Taking things far too seriously? Maybe.]

I realize that there has been no shortage of apologies share since the rather unfortunate...disruptions of time. Nonetheless, I feel obliged to offer my own, along with an explanation. I was born as Artanis and for a great many years that is what I was called. There was no deceit intended in any recent introductions, I assure you. It has been long since I have been called by that name, however. Most now know me as the Lady Galadriel and I would prefer to be addressed as such. I regret any confusion this may have caused.

[You have no idea how long it took her to private this. Technology is so hard.]

I realize we made certain arrangements whilst I was...not quite myself. While it has been quite some time since I have put my swordwork to serious use, I daresay I am much more skilled at instruction than I once was and a great deal more patient. I will hold to my word, if you wish it.

[Private to Elissa Cousland/actiony-ish thing]

[Just kidding, this isn’t a real filter. But there is a bottle of the finest wine Galadriel could scrounge up left outside your door with a simple note stating only who it is for and signed "with warm regards- Artanis." She's sorry for the unintended intrusion.]

[Private to Celebrían/Action]

[Just kidding, this isn’t a real filter either. This is your mommy knocking on your door to check on you. Because she’s worried.]

That is good to hear, Signora Galadriel. I should hope my... prior self did not cause trouble for you, if any.

[inafadingcrown]

I almost regret to say I do not believe we encountered one another. Were you so troublesome as a youth? [She leans forward, her chin in her hands. The thought apparently amuses her.]

[mentore]

[Ezio shakes his head with a chuckle.] Some would say trouble still finds me.

[inafadingcrown]

But do you seek it out?

[mentore]

And what kind of world would this be if there were no trouble?

[Circumvent the question with another question, that is clearly the right thing to do, Ezio, man of mystery.]

[inafadingcrown]

[Another little chuckle. Don't think she missed that avoidance technique. She uses it all the time.] One I would not recognize, certainly.

[mentore]

Clearly, signora. A shame neither of us did meet prior to this.

[inafadingcrown]

Oh, I do not know. I am rather glad you were spared my youthful arrogance.

[mentore]

You speak as if you are the only person to have had a youth such as yours.

[inafadingcrown]

Not at all. Yet I cannot help but feel some degree of embarrassment. Is it so unnatural?

[mentore]

I think it would be unwise to say that you had no shame or embarrassment. It only means you have grown from who you were once.

[inafadingcrown]

Well said, my friend. I have grown and I have learned. Of that, I am proud.

[mentore]

That is more than some people can say, unfortunately.

[inafadingcrown]

And you?

[mentore]

I can say much on the matter, signora.

[inafadingcrown]

Will you? Or do you prefer to remain mysterious?

[mentore]

I was a stubborn, reckless youth, I fear.
