when murderelves attack

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

-=there's a shaky, frightened voice calling loud and desperate on the network. for those who know zaknafein, this is a far cry from the seemingly gruff drow=-

Someone... anyone, please! We need a healer!

Elphaba has been gravely injured, and I do not have the means to help her!

I will do anything, just please. Help her!

I'm Ambrose, I'm her... well, "countryman" I suppose.

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

You 'suppose'? That certainly clears everything up, then.

-=he's calmed enough at least that his sarcasm is starting to seep back in=-

[wholeheaded]

Sorry. [ genuinely! ] We're from alternate timelines, and I'm from a few centuries after her time. So... we've sort of agreed to fudge it.

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

Are you attempting to say that you are her friend? Or merely a subject of her Munchkinland? -=he is uncertain as to what 'countryman' is supposed to mean=-

[wholeheaded]

Ah, the first one though we only met while Traveling. I'm from Quadling, Munchkinland's neighbor to the south. Different regions, same realm.

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

Had you attended the wedding?

[wholeheaded]

...not as myself, I was infiltrating as someone named Phadrig Wegaln.

[ whooooo never got threaded with at all because Keri's brain went NAH SON THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. ]

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

Likey I had seen you about then, even if we had not spoken. The whole event had been… distracting.

[wholeheaded]

I'm sure. Well, like I said, I think we're due a proper introduction. [ a pause, then gently: ] She told me about you, a little.

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

-=he's quiet for a moment, mind going back to the night he could no longer hide his nightmares=-

What did she say?

[wholeheaded]

That you're kind, and a good father. [ and she likes kissing him but we're not getting into that. ] And she wants you to be happy.

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

She has helped greatly on all accounts.

-=its a strange thing, hearing such kind words said about him. it's not something he feels he deserves=-

I can only hope the same for her, though I must admit I know nothing about how to be husband as a human would expect. Or an Ozian.

-=are they different? he hasn't quite figured that out=-

[wholeheaded]

Well. If it helps at all Ozians are humans, basically, just not Earth-based. [ helpful! ] And while I'm not rally husbandy either I think I can give advice if you want it? I do believe everyone should... find as much peace as they can, in this life.
