Fear not the foul visions! They cannot harm you. They are as reflections in glass; ephemeral.

But they can cause the heart to start! As such, I suggest traveling and even resting in pairs. I know this will be uncomfortable for some, yet there is much within Hadriel that goes against our comfort and our wishes.

May the protection of the Valar ne'er leave you.

I'm afraid the whole point is... that we should be scared of them to power Fear.

Let us not give into such trickery! (He hates to hear women in particular in distress.) Are you safe?

[blessedmaiden]

But, fake deity or not, Fear needs us to keep the city safe... [She sighs but still tries to offer him a reassuring smile] I am, Thank you for asking. But, most important, are you? Please, let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

[handofsilver]

I am eager to do so not for Fear's sake, but for the sake of those who must reside here. (He returns the expression as best as he can, yet his eyes are still dark with worry.) Levity aside, I cannot help but feel something ominous in the air. That concerns me.

That is good advice, I hope you are able to stay safe as well.

And I love the little pictures you have included in your message. Did you draw those?

[handofsilver]

Do not worry on my account. I am part of the Guard and I shall wander the streets until this farce ends.

(How dare you, Fear. How dare you.)

No, I did not! I found them.

[souveraine]

Still, I hope you are able to stay safe. Perhaps I could wander with you?

[She knew she wasn't the best fighter but that didn't mean she wanted to sit by.]

Oh? How did you get them to show up like that?

[handofsilver]

I welcome your company. (He is touched she would want to join him. The tips of his ears burn.) If you switch to the, ah, text? You will see them.

[souveraine]

Oh that is lovely! I love the idea of making text better with little drawings.

text

[handofsilver]

You found them! They do strike me as more personal, that is true!

What other pictures Do you like to draw?

text

[souveraine]

I love them!

I do, I used to draw when I was younger but it has been a long time.

[handofsilver]

May these small pictures inspire you to take up your quill again. Hobbies can offer a source of calm in the storm.

text

[souveraine]

I will find a quill and paper then. I certainly have the time to try my hand at it again.

text

[handofsilver]

For your efforts, I shall draw a picture for you.

text

[souveraine]

We can exchange our pictures then!

text

[handofsilver]

May you find the best inspiration our cavern home has to offer!

text

[souveraine]

And you as well, I look forward to seeing what you draw for me.

[handofsilver]

It shall be interesting. (Because he doesn't think much of his talent and knowing she will view it might make him even worse.)

[castintofire]

{Oh Nephew.}

Who are you with?

I hope you are taking your own advice!

[handofsilver]

No one as yet. (Does his staff count? Or his sword?) I have seen some interesting visions already.

[handofsilver]

The Valar were created by Eru to govern my world, Arda.

[handofsilver]

Yes. I do not doubt it, though I wonder at their silence.

[handofsilver]

They interfered when Darkness fell upon the world before.
