(He awakens from his meditation with a sharp gasp. There is darkness around him - no oddity in an unlit library aisle - but he sees something sinister; something beyond the tomes surrounding him.)

Since when have those lands been recorded? Do not write of them! Do not let them gain a foothold!

(Books are knocked askew as he rises in a flurry to his feet.)

I cannot hear you. I cannot. I will not! (Is that the sound of a chain dragging along the floor? Or is that his imagination?) You will not hold me fast!

There are different types of immortality, you're right. My apologies.

But this place wasn't designed to be a place of torture.

[That was up to the coping abilities of those summoned.]

And I doubt you're still in Morgoth, either.

Morgoth is...one of the Valar. (Not...torture? He is clearly trying to even his breathing.) Have you not heard of him? What of Sauron, his servant?

(There is comfort in the names not being known.)

[Nita frowns, nods. Another name to keep track of; if people like Morgoth start showing up...]

Hnn - maybe? Heard of, but never met. It's vague to me.

[Nita not recalling a character from a book? Le gasp! Though, if it comforts Maedhros, it's not really a problem now is it?]

[castintoflames]

Let it remain vague! You will be better off. (He has sight enough to tell she is young.) How old are you, child?

[There's a pause.]

Sixteen, I believe. Though I'm not sure that matters much in this place.

Sixteen... (The age boggles his mind. She should be protected fiercely by her parents! An Elfling of that age is no more than a babe!) It matters. You need to be protected.

Re: [Video]

[unfavorableinstigation]

(Nita's already lost one parent, sadly. But she does know how to protect herself. However, given certain recent circumstances, this isn't a fight she can have right now...)

[Nita sighs.]

By whom, here? I don't suppose you have any suggestions?

[Video]

[castintoflames]

Myself would suit. I know how to fight better than most. (He does not have pride in much, but that comes as easily as breathing.)

[Video] -> [Action?]

[unfavorableinstigation]

If you insist...

I'm not going anywhere.

[Much as it might be fun, or "fun" rather.]
