[Video; UN: gentlebreeze]
Is a...ah...second animal...possible? [He was once enchanted with bunny ears and a fluffy tail. Now he is...different. White feathers are intermixed with his hair and there is a black discoloration - like a blindfold - around his eyes.
He bows his head and directs the camera towards his arms, which are decorated with more white feathers.]
I am...a heron? A swan? I think the latter. [Such a romantic animal! Turning his head bashfully, he smooths the feathers down under the sleeves of his robe.] Perhaps I should go for a swim?

You are unharmed? No pain?
no subject
[Yay?]
The pain comes if I try to become...the true animal.
no subject
Ah... then, I hope that it remains as superficial, only.

That is well. I am glad that you are... mostly unharmed, Xingchen.Do you need any assistance?
no subject
What do you know of swans? I was a rabbit before and this is...a change.
no subject
That they are dangerous?
no subject
...their beaks?
no subject
Oh yes, their beaks, and their wings. They can break bones, if they hit you. And they chase.
no subject
I would never be so vicious! Did they break your bones, my friend?
no subject
[ To be fair, they probably deserved it for creeping through the gardens during hatching season, but also the Palace Swans are vicious, nasty animals, and Maglor stands by that ]
no subject
I don't know swans well enough. I assumed they were like herons. They look so graceful and...they mate for life, don't they?
no subject
Yes, they do. My Aunt Earwen kept some in the Palace gardens - a bride-gift from her family in Alqualonde, so that she might keep some of her childhood home with her in Tirion.
no subject
She must have enjoyed watching them. What was Tirion like? [A place with sparkling water, he thinks.] And a palace! You paint a pretty picture.
no subject
[ Maglor hums wistfully, eyes distant ]
Tirion... mm, it was a great city, the houses usually made of pale stone and the streets with diamond dust. Every craft had it's own place, with seven levels, spreading down the green hill of Tuna onto the plains below, with grandfather's palace at the top. We were at peace, so the walls were decorative, then, built with white marble and decorated with many precious stones. At the heart of the palace, Grandfather built a tall tower, and the light at it's topmost point could be seen from miles around. The gardens were vast and left wild in parts as well as carefully curated in others, with great manicured hedges and many fountains that all sang together.
no subject
You come from paradise.
Except for the swans. [He concedes with a small smile.]
Xingchen should ask Mags to Sing for him =p
We didn't realise it, when we were young. And Middle-earth was beautiful too, of course, in it's own wild way. But Aman was truly Blessed.
[ He laughs ]
Even the swans, I suppose!
And he would melt into the floor.
Some of that blessing surely remains with you. I have never known someone so tall nor...
Your voice. It's special.
but pretty music~ /tempts (as long as Xingchen doesn't ask for the Noldolante LOL)
Not I, my friend. I am Exile and there is no blessing left for me. And thank you for the compliment! I trained long and long to get as good as I am, and it soothes my pride to know that others still think it fair.
He wouldn't know about it, so they're safe. ;u;
[He also doesn't agree with Maglor having no blessings. But he won't argue.]
fortunately~
I can even try and Sing for you - Men can usually hear me, and you've said you're particularly sensitive. Is there anything you want to See?
no subject
You speak of visions? Can you show me Tirion?
no subject
[ He nods ]
Easily, yes! Do you want to meet in person? I don't know how these devices might affect things.
