[ for those familiar with reynir by now, he's still got that generally friendly air about him with the video starts, though there's something around his eyes that gives him a slightly weary quality as well, if you're looking for it.

but then, everyone's been a bit stressed lately, which is rather the point of this post. ]


I guess there's a neat little, um, program I think it's called? On these bracelets that people have been using to share music and stuff from their home worlds, and I think that's really nice! Being able to learn about other worlds, other people's lives... it's really important some times to just take a moment and enjoy those things, don't you think?

I don't have any... copies or whatever of music from back home, but I wanted to share something anyway. To show my appreciation for all the new things people have told me about or shown me since I got here. So I thought I'd sing an old lullaby I grew up with!

[ reynir has a pretty average singing voice overall, though there's an androgynous quality to his tone as he sings a song first in icelandic and then in english: ]

Sleep my little love,
Outside the rain is weeping.
Mommy keeps watch over your gold,
Old leg bones and a little treasure chest.*
Let's not stay awake through dark nights.

There is much that darkness knows,
My mind is heavy.
Often I've seen the black sand
Scorching green meadows.
In the glacier rumbles deadly-deep cracks.

Sleep long, sleep tight,
It's best to wake up late.
Hardship will teach you soon,
While the day becomes night,
That the people love, lose, cry and mourn.

It sounds very beautiful! Do you think you could teach it?

Many thanks - it's been a long time since I had a new language to learn... and yours is unlike any I have heard before.

To you, I am sure it is not! [ he agrees with a smile ]

But I have had little dealings with Men, and so your tongues are all interesting, to me, although I confess to not being the linguist, of the family.

Oh, no, I mean "Men" as in... well mortals, like you. Humans.

Most certainly not! I am Eldar, what you normally term 'Elves'.

Do you have tales of us in your world then? I wonder how they differ....

Ah well... I suppose we may not even be from the same world, so there is no way of knowing how accurate those tales might be!

"Illness"? [ He asks curiously ]

It sounds as if there was a plague, or something...

[ He winces. ]

My condolences. I hope there will come a solution, one day.

Silent World? Is that the name of your world? I hope that your finds prove fruitful.

[ Turgon visibly considers why a place outside quarantine would be called 'Silent', draws the inevitable conclusion of Vast Amounts of Dead People, and winces ]

I see. Will you reclaim those lands, do you think?

Trolls and Giants? I wonder if they are like ours?
