"Except when I need to be Darth Balrog, Scourge of the Multiverse." Dafydd chuckled at the kid's expression. "Joke, joke. As, I'm sure, would be anything I said about Hera being high-maintenance." The golden queen flicked her tail at him, but seemed content to let the scolding pass - for the moment.

((That took a lot longer to compose than it should have. I have no idea how Dafydd deals with fame - well, I do now: apparently jokes. Except when he feels like bragging.))
((If you think he's making a massive effort to be diplomatic to everyone today - you'd be right.))
"W-wait a minute," he stammered, "Connie? Are you... a-are you Dafydd Illian? Um. " His eyes were now about the size of saucers. "Sorry, I, um, I just, um, wow." He took a deep breath and scratched... more
Alex looked sheepish. "Just kind of startled me, is all. Oh, right!" He awkwardly held out a hand. "Alex Dives. I'm an intern in DoSAT. And, um, thank you for donating the eggs." ((Poor Dadydd. I... more
Des took the lightsaber out of his pocket, taking care not to ignite its blade by mistake. “I'd like to get rid of this ASAP,” he said, “it positively stinks of Studom.” He nodded toward Ilraen.... more
Gerry sneezed the moment it came out. "Seriously. Ugh, Sue weapons." "I was hoping for Tel'Quessir, personally," Colt said, temporarily distracted by the lightsaber before looking at the elf again,... more
"Yeah, that's a Noldo. I, uh, I think he used to be an agent of some sort--I mean, a DOGA agent. He left or retired or something a little before I joined--something about dying and maybe coming back... more
Actually, they didn't - he'd often thought they should , but mobile ears weren't a trait possessed by many Eldar. Dafydd's ears wanted to twitch as a woman across the room called (well, said)... more
Des rubbed his goatee. “Missing hand, Noldo, missing hand, agent, not any more, dammit where'd I read this, missions missions missions... fabric? No, something with T... Oh I know. Terri Ryan, DOGA... more
Alex waved at the two people when they approached. "Are you here for the hatching, too?" Too many people get out get out get out. He hoped there wasn't any sweat beading up on his forehead as he held ... more
"Introductions, right. That should go well. Let's hope it goes well, actually, dealing safely with Feanorians usually requires being out of, uh, everything-range. Oh well. Maybe an agent!Maglor, or... more
“Yesyes to all your questions, bub!” he said. “I'm Des, this is Shakhar – Dawn – and you–” Des squinted. “You look somewhat familiar... what's your name, dude?”
Alex cradled the egg to his chest. "'M Alex Dives," he said, finally finding his voice. "DoSAT intern." He smiled and held out a hand. "Nice to meet you... Des, was it?" He frowned. "Des... dendelle?"
Her gaze locked onto Alex, her eyes sparkling with orange facets. Beside her, Ilwion sat up, craning to look up at Dafydd. The elf drew in a breath between his teeth. "As a general remark," he said,... more
Alex sighed. "Won't happen again, promise." To Des, he said, "And, yeah, actually. She's one of my regular teachers. Supervisors? I like her because she doesn't make me go on a lot of coffee runs.... more
He glanced at Dafydd, but when he saw that the Noldo was busy with his fire-lizard, he kept his attention on Alex. “She's a nice person, yeah. Helped me with a nasty Harry Potter fic, once.”
"...where Harry was the heir to the Founders and had a harem, or something?" Alex grinned. "She told me about that! Oh, man, that sounded horrible; it's times like that I'm glad I'm not a field... more
Dafydd shook his head, smiling. "Yes, I think we'll be okay. Thank you, though." Teyala nodded. "You're welcome. Enjoy the rest of your day." She turned away from the Illian family, pausing long... more
