(( Well here's a fresh new face on the network. He smiles brightly and waves at the camera as if addressing good friends he hasn't seen in a while. The same hand that waved, cards through his messy dark hair more out of habit than anything else. ))

Hiii~ My name's Will. You can probably guess I'm new here. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this and sorry for being repetitive. I'm looking for someone: a cute fellow Fae with striking blond curls. If you've seen him, could you please let me know? If not, I'll just have to search elsewhere!

Thanks in advance!

(( Another wave, some finger guns, and he cuts the feed. ))

[A Fae with blond curls? He illusions his hair to be curly and blond... But a fellow Fae? He's so confused as he cautiously replies. Riley's blue fish scales around his hairline and his mermaid ears are on full display even if he looks...very tired.]

...Um...hi?

[floralias]

(( Ah! That's just the one he's looking for! He can't help noticing that Riley looks a little different, though. Regardless, Will brightens to see him, his smile dazzling. ))

Hi.

(( The tone is warm and familiar, as if they've known each other for a while. ))

[hideawayparadise]

[He blinks in surprise, tilting his head a bit.]

...you know me?

[And he doesn't seem like a threat either. Which has him relaxing rather quickly.]

[floralias]

(( Oh. That's not the sort of response he expected. Didn't they say something about time being weird at the orientation? Could it be that Riley doesn't know him yet?

Something sad flickers across his face but he shakes it away. ))

We met in LA. I bring in the dogs for the kids to read to at your library.

[hideawayparadise]

[A Fae volunteers at the library he works at? And he's okay with that and not running... There must be something special here with how that sad look flickers briefly. It makes Riley frown because he hadn't meant to make him sad...]

And we're close?

[Something in him wants to trust this Fae. Even if he doesn't know why.]

[thescorpionking]

Greetings, Will. I believe I know the Fae in question {intimately} and so I must ask why you seek him?

[floralias]

(( Oh, isn't this a pretty one! ))

He's a very good friend of mine.

[thescorpionking]

He is my boyfriend. {Xie takes responsibility for some of those cute scales.} Are you from his world?

[floralias]

(( Oh. Well. Will just smiles. ))

Is he? Congratulations. Please treat him kindly.

[thescorpionking]

{Since things have been rocky lately - not necessarily between him and Riley - Xie feels guilty.}

He deserves my best.

Well met, Will. Maglor, at your service.

[ That description... sounds an awful lot like Riley. Grey eyes look at Will curiously - Maglor remembers what Riley told him once, that he feared his own people, so he's careful, but polite ]

There are many folk here, and you might be lucky in finding the one you seek - but I will warn you that time is a little fluid, here. The one you seek may be here or may follow after, or may come from a different time. Are you friends then, of the person you are looking for?

[ Riley is under Elrond's care, and so under Maglor's, and he has no intention of letting any harm come to him ]

[floralias]

(( Riley has every reason to stay away from his own people, it's true. And Will knows exactly why.

But he's pleased to find so many who seem to care for Riley and his safety. It's only natural! He's such an easy-to-like fellow! And it's good to see that Riley's making friends and allies. He doesn't deserve to be alone just because the Fae are after him. ))

We are friends, yes. I only hope to find him well.

[bythewaves]

Are you? [ Maglor watches him and there is something very old, and very dangerous in his eyes - a sleeping predator ]

There is one here who matches your description. [ He says slowly ] One who is very dear to me and mine. He has little love for your people, and much to fear.

[floralias]

The Fae have not been kind to either of us. Less kind to him, in my opinion.

(( Yes, there is a darkness, perhaps even anger in him at the thought of the mistreatment, of the innocents who the Fae have harmed to hurt both of them. But it cools quickly. ))

I only wish to know that my friend is well.

[bythewaves]

[ Hm.

Maglor tips his head, accepting. ]

Riley lives with my fosterling Elrond, my brother Maedhros and I. [ He is under our protection, is clear even though unsaid ]

If he is who you seek, he is often found at the flowershop.

[Holy shit. That's Kimhan. Smiling. Isn't.. it?]

A fellow Fae?

[ Fuck, were the knives ready? He didn't know-he and Vegas have been...busy. ]

What sort of business do you have with my brother?

[Because if anything, Kinn remembers that the Fae were chasing Riley down. ]

[floralias]

Brother?

(( So he's found himself a family! That's wonderful and Will nod in approval (not that this man needs his approval). ))

He's a dear friend to me. I don't have any business with him, but I hope to find him well. Can you tell me that?

[50000baht]

He's well.

[Kinn still doesnt know what to make of this]

He told me that he's not on friendly terms with the Fae.

[floralias]

(( Will's expression softens, but there's a brightness in his eyes that betrays his happiness at hearing this news. ))

It's my understanding that time is more malleable here. It's possible he doesn't know me yet.

[50000baht]

[That...actually assuages Kinn more than anything else. He visibly relaxes.]

I can validate that. I'm several months ahead from my people here.

And, to say the least, you have the uncanny resemblance if my baby brother.

[Fellow...Fae? She wants to know more!]

Are you a Fairy?

[floralias]

Some would call me that.

[watergrape]

What's your element? Where did you serve?

[floralias]

(( Well, he's got nothing to hide, so... ))

I was one of the floral Fae of the Seelie Court. Earth is my element.

[watergrape]

You're a Flower Fairy?! You would've been in the Water Mirror with me!
