[It's only because in his world the Fae typically don't use technology like this that he dares to show his face so openly. But honestly, Riley feels that the people here are more likely to be able to answer a question he has.]

Hi there.

[He offers a little smile and a wave.]

I guess you could say I'm a new guy here. But I have a bit of a weird question if anyone thinks they can answer it.

[He pushes his fingers through his blond waves before continuing.]

Do you think any of this could be Fae trickery?

[There's a laugh and he waves his hand like he's dismissing his own question.]

Okay, okay. Weirdness aside, what food would you guys recommend me trying? I figured I'd go get something to eat before finding a place to stay.

No, but Elrond is like that - always thoughtful of those he cares for!

[hideawayparadise]

I'm going to have to figure out something nice to do for you guys, especially him, for watching out for me like this.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor shakes his head ]

There is no need for that! It is our pleasure, and our honor.

[hideawayparadise]

Well yeah, I get it. But it doesn't feel right to not do something for you guys too.

[bythewaves]

Well, if you want to, Riley, none of us will stop you - but don't feel you must!

[hideawayparadise]

I think it's my Fae genetics kicking in honestly. The whole needing to repay perceived debt in full or something.

[bythewaves]

That's something I did not know. [ He hums ] Well, if it helps you, by all means.

[hideawayparadise]

Thanks. For being understanding. [He smiles brightly at him.] I really appreciate it.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor's answering smile is very fond ]

Just so long as you're happy, Riley.

[hideawayparadise]

So far you guys make me really happy. I wasn't expecting to run into such protective and nice people but I appreciate it.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor laughs softly ]

I'm glad you think so! My folk have always had a fondness for younglings - and Elrond misses having a full house, I think. So you're helping us, as well.

[hideawayparadise]

...Am I a youngling? Even though I'm twenty-four?

[bythewaves]

[ He laughs softly ]

I am over six thousand, Riley. To me, all of those here are younglings.

[hideawayparadise]

Oh.

[He looks so surprised then laughs softly.]

You look really good for your age!

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor shrugs, smiling ]

It is typical for my folk - we are tied to the world, you see, to age as it ages, to exist so long as it does. I am not even close to the eldest of our folk! Although I might be the oldest here, in terms of length of time lived.

[hideawayparadise]

Then whoever is older than you also looks great for their age because refuge I've see has been really attractive.

[It's impressive actually.]

Based on what I know about the Fae so far I'll look like this forever so I guess we both get to look good for a long time.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor chuckles ]

Thank you for saying so, Riley! Well, the Fae would probably fit in well with us I suppose!

[hideawayparadise]

I can definitely do my best to fit in at least!

[bythewaves]

[ Fondly ]

I think you will do just fine.
