I have a thing to ask; a thing that is not acceptable in my world, but it is part of my story and I think I must acknowledge it. I have noticed that other residents of Hadriel share half of my inclination, at least, and I must ask:

Is it possible for one man or woman to be attracted to both genders? I mean no offense. I admit that my first love - unrequited - was female. My wife was surely female! But there was a male...briefly...though he was naught but a monster seeking to ravage the world.

yeah, that's...pretty normal actually

aside from the monster thing

[handofsilver]

It does not seem to be normal for my world.

[proselytise]

but it's not impossible or anything, is it

i mean, if that's what you thought, someone's probably been lying to you

[handofsilver]

Obviously not since I exist.

I can lie to myself just fine.

[proselytise]

well, there you go then, answered your own question

[handofsilver]

I cannot understand why I differ from the norm, however.

[proselytise]

sometimes that just happens, there's not really a reason

[handofsilver]

My people are so focused on reasons and following the best path. I lost my way long ago. I can only do as I see fit and right.

[proselytise]

i mean, not everything really has to have a reason

sometimes things happen, sometimes they don't happen like they're supposed to, that's just life

[handofsilver]

So in other words, I need to relax.

[proselytise]

yeah, that's pretty much all you can do

[handofsilver]

How did you become so wise?

[proselytise]

[ That....is probably not a word that anyone has ever, or would ever use to describe Charles. Until now, apparently. ]

that's a new one

it's probably just that we're from different places or times or something

[handofsilver]

That could be so, but I feel it gives you far too little credit.

[proselytise]

well, if you say so, who am i to argue?

[handofsilver]

I am Celebrimbor, by the by. Well met.

[proselytise]

charles. nice to meet you too, if this counts as meeting.

[ That's.......................quite the name. ]

[handofsilver]

I believe it does. Hadriel is a strange land.

[proselytise]

that's putting it lightly, don't you think?

[handofsilver]

I think I would run out of adjectives if I tried to describe it accurately.

[proselytise]

maybe if you ask the gods for a thesaurus, they can help with that

[handofsilver]

I am well-versed in being loquacious, never fear.

[proselytise]

i'll keep it in mind, thanks

[handofsilver]

Should I congratulate you?

[proselytise]

uh, no need
