[Video; UN: grapefairy]

[watergrape]

[All of her grace has abandoned her and for no reason except she angered an ayakashi! She isn't even sure what she did. But now she looks very much like a disgruntled fairy, sitting on the floor, her robes bunched around her legs.]

Why is everything so dark?! Will someone turn on the light already?

[She also hasn't realized that she is blind. Attempting her magic doesn't help her either. She just ends up raining hail on her head.]

Ah!

But the skies are clear, milady?

[watergrape]

Who's there? [A voice she doesn't know? And a lovely voice at that!] They can't be! Everything is pitch-black.

[bythewaves]

A stranger to you, lady - Maglor, at your service. But I think me that you may have been struck by some affliction, perhaps, as the skies are indeed clear.

[watergrape]

You're really not fibbing? [Why would he? She holds up her hand and gives an unhappy squeak.] I can't see! Who took my sight?

Video

[bythewaves]

I fear I am not, lady. Did you accidentally run afoul of one of the native concoctions, maybe?

[watergrape]

I was... I was just curious.

....one more before sleep

[bythewaves]

[ Oh dear ]

Ai! Well... they do tend to not be permanent, I am given to understand? Is there ought I can do to aid you?

<3 <3 <3

[watergrape]

I can find my way around my apartment, but cooking...

If you come here, I can guide you?

[bythewaves]

I can certainly do that for you, lady. [ he says gently ]

Is there anything you like? I am not so good as my brother, but I can manage basics well enough.

[watergrape]

Simple dishes are fine! I am accustomed to vegetables, so anything with meat is delicious.

[bythewaves]

Alright. [ He agrees ]

Will you tell me how to reach you? I will let my kinsfolk where I am going, and do some shopping. My fosterling is a healer, if you think that might help?

[watergrape]

I don't feel sick. [She just can't see.] I'm...um...

[Now she has to remember her apartment number. Oops.]

The apartments... The ones they offer. I'm there. Ask at the front desk for Jin Mi?

[bythewaves]

Alright.

[ He will tell Elrond anyway, maybe his fosterling has advice? ]

I know the ones yes - I will see you soon?

[watergrape]

I'll wait for you! Ah...thank you for...helping.

[She almost forgot her manners. Her non-existent manners!]

aCTION???

[bythewaves]

You are most welcome, milady.

[ And sure enough, he will shortly be knocking politely at her door, complete with supplies ]

Lady Jin Mi?

Goddess Elf Action Go Go Go

[watergrape]

[The sound makes her jump and she struggles to her feet. Her robes tangle around her legs until she straightens them. Then she makes her way to the door, bumping into it with a thump.]

How aggressive! [Rubbing her forehead, Jin Mi opens the door.] My lord?

don't tell him she's a goddess tho he'll panic XD

[bythewaves]

Just Maglor is fine, milady.

[ Gentle hands come to grip her hand, guiding it down to rest on his forearm so he can guide her back inside her home. One is noticably scarred. ]

I am no lord. [ Anymore ]

But here, would you like to sit while I prepare some food for you? Or I can simply keep you company a while, if you prefer.

thankfully her powers are mostly sealed and she's very naive/innocent.

[watergrape]

Maglor. [She says the name curiously. It sounds so foreign! The contact makes her gasp, but she understands quickly what he is doing. Her fingers touch the scars and she frowns briefly. What are those? Is he wearing gloves?]

I'm told it doesn't matter what we were before. We can be whoever we want.

[The offer is difficult and she points at what she hopes is a chair.]

If you move that towards the kitchen, we can keep talking?

Excellent another baby for him to fuss over XD

[bythewaves]

[ His arm shakes as he muffles a giggle ]

I can certainly move a chair over for you, milady - you were pointing at a shelf. Here, sit you here a moment while I move a chair over, and then I will help you to the kitchen.

she thought she was a grape elf! life is crazy, mister elf.

[watergrape]

Oh. [She imagines trying to sit on a shelf and barely stifles a laugh of her own.] It's hard to remember even things I saw yesterday!

[Sighing, she settles on a chair and waits for him.]

You have a nice voice. Do you sing?

He is a little concerned she thought she was a grape XD

[bythewaves]

You weren't expecting to have to navigate by memory today.

[ He reassures, and he makes sure to deliberately make noise as he moves around, so she can track him ]

I do, yes. I am a bard, by training, a minstrel.

Should she tell him about how she spent her childhood buried in the soil?

[watergrape]

I've always had good eyesight. I wouldn't be very good with flowers if I didn't.

[She leans forward to listen, her hands bunching in her gauzy robes.]

We don't have much music in the Water Mirror.

he will internally scream XD

[bythewaves]

Oh? Is that your Craft then?

[ He hums, pottering around and putting things away before coming back to lead her into the kitchen, where he's set up a table and chair for her ]

No? That is a pity - music is such an integral part of my life that I cannot imagine a life without.

What? It's healing! Just add a little water...

[watergrape]

Partially...? [Supposedly?] I can do things with water too. I made hail once.

[She holds onto his arm, trusting him to guide her. In her kitchen, he will find plenty of fresh vegetables as well as herbs growing in...numerous little pots.]

What can you do with it?

S C R E A M

[bythewaves]

With water? You can alter the weather?

[ He settles on a quick stir fry ]

'Do' with it? Well... I mean mostly I just sing. But tis true that what makes a true bard is the ability to hear, and so to interact with, the Song, the Music of the world itself.
