[Adra's in his little apartment kitchen when he broadcasts this, wearing an apron and presiding over several bowls of various ingredients--blueberries, strawberries, cream, sugar, eggs, flour, etc. His elf ears have shifted to the Cordis cat's--a slightly darker shade of blond than his hair and very fluffy. His long, cream-colored tail swishes about as he talks. His voice is as deep and booming as ever, but there's a brighter tone to it--strangely upbeat.]

Bal'a dash. I hope the evening finds you all well and warm. I just have a few quick words.

[He starts slicing a strawberry as he goes on.]

Many of you arrived here already gifted in the ways of magic. But I've met several others who have never had such powers before. I've seen confusion and anxiety due to this, and I want you all to know that I'd be glad to help, if I can.

[He twirls his flour-dusted finger, and a ribbon of sparkling Light dances around his hand.]

Though I've devoted myself to the priesthood in recent years, I was once a mage of some skill--had apprentices, even. If you need instruction or advice in the ways of magic, please don't hesitate to call on me.

[The Light fades as he bows his head slightly, his furry ears twitching.]

My name is Adrasteius, and I'm at your disposal.

Comments

[hymnals]

The sin'dorei are far from immortal, but I've met plenty of peoples whose lifespans number in the tens of thousands.

[A wry smile.]

My perspective is therefore easily adjusted.

[eddas]

Nor are those of Asgard truly undying, except in the songs we may write with word or deed.

May we all taste glory before Hel claims us.

[hymnals]

[He rubs the back of his head.]

Never been one much for glory, myself. But I hope to do what I can for those around me before I return to the Light.

[eddas]

Not all glory is won in battle. Though I do not claim to be an expert in such matters.

[hymnals]

[He concedes with a smile.]

True enough. If you'd ever like to learn about the glory of a good meal, I'm available.

[eddas]

[ She returns the smile. ]

I would be so honored. Be warned, though, my appetites outstrip those of elven make. If I come to dine, I also expect to eat.

[hymnals]

No worries there. I'm used to cooking for people who eat like they're a one-person army.

[His brother ...]

Come by whenever you get hungry.

[eddas]

Then I pray, good elf, that you are not one for idle boasting.

[ Because she's hungry a lot. ]
