Just when you think a simple walk through the city is going to do you some good, things get incredibly weird. I met two of our new citezins and...
Kak: *lands on Fingon's head to rest his wings*
Fingon: Aiee!
Kak: quiet, pointy ear
Kak: you are providing a public service
Fingon: I am? What sort?
Kak: well, I am the king of the ravens. The king of this city regards me very highly
Kak: I am sure he will reward you for giving me a roost, citizen
Fingon: The KING of the ravens you say? King Turgon has not mentioned other royalty.
Kak: *ruffles* why would he tell a peasant like you? *peck*
Fingon: *debating whether to reveal himself now or wait for a moment he can humiliate the ravens since he knows they've been harassing everyone. Decides to wait it out and see how they behave generally* I suppose that's so.
Fingon: But one would expect some sort of proclamation
Kak: We prefer our... privacy. We also enjoy bits of rabbit. *meaningful note*
Fingon: Rabbit. Well. I'm certain there is rabbit in the markerts for your majesty's pleasure
Kak: then let us go!
Fingon: You wish me to behave as your servant? *considers* Very well. I have no plans for the afternoon that cannot wait.
Kak: You should be honoured
Kak: *calls out for Awk* I have found us a servant for the day!
Awk: *flies in, fluffing feathers a bit daintilly* You have! *and that's a high pitch there*
Fingon: I am pleased to asist the noble ravens
Kak: Awk, the queen of ravens
Fingon: My lady!
Awk: *does a thing that might be a curtsey. Sort of* We are pleased to meet you peasant
Kak: Awk's no lady! *annoyed peck*
Fingon: Oh? But you said queen
Awk: Oh. *little sniff* your titles are based on GENDER in these lands? How strange!
Kak: *under his breath to Awk* we should have asked Nuala about that
Awk: *under his breath back*This one is fool enough to believe it I think
Fingon: Well. My lords then!
Awk: that's better!
Kak: Let's go! To the rabbit!
Fingon: To the rabbit then!
Kak: very good. *rides on his head, telling him the ways he will be honoured for helping out the raven royalty*
Awk: *lands on Fingon's shoulder and begins speaking of the rewards he will be given. Jewels and coins and TOOLS*
Kak: excellent sticks! Amazing sticks!
Awk: AND. STRINGS
Fingon: Strings?
Awk: The greatest strong strings for making nests!
Kak: Red ones
Kak: *raveny laughter, would never give an elf one of his RED STRINGS, what a mockery he is making of Fingon*
Awk: *laughing with Kak* We are so PLEASED to have this one with us! We must keep him!
Awk: Would you become our servant peasant? Our own people are not here and we could use a man
Kak: we would of course pay for our rabbit now, but we left our purses back at our raven palace
Fingon: I must see the raven palace someday. It sounds like a thing of beauty
Awk: Grander than this city!
Kak: There! *spots a shopkeep they don't usually frequent* that is where we want our food from!
Awk: The best shop in the market for our rabbit feast!
Kak: *pecks at Fingon's head to speed him up*
Fingon: *approaches*
Kak: *fluffing from anticipation of rabbit meat*
Fingon: **pulling out a purse*
Kak: *FLUFF*
Awk: *happy little noises*
Fingon: I would like to negotiate the purchase of some rabbit meat for their majesties, the king and queen of the ravens. *might as well play this up.*
Kak: c'mon c'mon c'mon
Awk: Sweet sweet meat!
Awk: *doing a little tiny hopping dance*
Fingon: *winds up purchasing a bit more than he had thought*
Fingon: *and is opening the purse to pay*
Kak: faster! *peck*
Fingon: *getting the meat wrapped now
Awk: c'monc'mon...
Fingon: Don't you want to have me deliver it nicely to your palace?
Kak: no no, we'll... we'll bring back your reward *little hop*
Fingon: Ah I seeee. *watching as the package is tied with strings* But would my lords really mean to do it themselves?
Kak: we are can-do royalty. *takes off to grab the meat!*
Awk: Your services have, however, been great!
Awk: We shall find you again shortly! *flies off*
Fingon: *rolls his eyes and decides to just...document this for the moment*
Kak: Haha! Silly elves!
Awk: Silly SILLY elves
Kak: this is the good life, Awk! It's not theft, he gave it to us himself!
Fingon: *decides he's going to get something more servanty looking and play along with them and try to get info out of them*
Awk: *caaacckles*
Kak: And he thought we'd give him some of our red string! *laughs and tears into the packaging to eat*
Awk: Hahahahaha elves are the best *gulps some meat* I vote we keep him
Kak: sure! This is a well that won't run dry! We'll have to get him some good twigs.
Awk: and he will be satisfied because he thinks that we think they are valuable here!
Kak: *evil raven laughter*
Awk: This is our most lucrative caper yet!
Awk: *heard that word listening at a window*
Kak: *sets aside the extra meat they got for Nuala* But who knew queens were women?
Awk: I know, right? They all look alike.
At any rate, I think that I can use this to our advantage. Now that I know their modus operandi, the ravens can be caught in the act, perhaps apprehended, and certainly re-educated in the way we do things here. Consider this my gift to the city. Or something.
...And I never did get my red string!
Kak: *lands on Fingon's head to rest his wings*
