crystal.

I have a potentially strange offer. Request. Both of those things.

crystals; private

[overharrowed]

I'm intrigued.

[And resisting the urge to ask 'You, or your uncle?' under the circumstances.]

[elegiaque]

Your new superior, Thranduil. Until his appointment he was living in my home- I need to fill that space again.

( Not the same space, precisely- )

I live quite far from the Gallows and share my home with a child; I need someone in residence who can be useful in a crisis. You'd have the use of my carriage to commute to the Gallows and it wouldn't require much of you except living in the house.

Unless something happens. Obviously.

[overharrowed]

To make sure I understand: Hightown accommodations in exchange for serving as a living security system?

[He sounds more thoughtful than offended.]

Is there anything else you'd expect, particularly? Would I be allowed to have visitors?

[elegiaque]

You're understanding correctly. I don't expect anything other than you don't make a spectacle of yourself,

( drolly; he doesn't exactly seem the type, )

and that I have veto power over who comes into my house. If a Warden's name isn't Alistair, for instance, they don't set foot on the premises.

[overharrowed]

That seems fair.

[He's only seen Alistair from a distance (and not recently), and the only Warden he knows anything like personally is Anders, which fair enough.]

Frankly, as convenient as working in the Gallows can be, I'd be glad enough not to sleep here if I don't have to. Your proposal sounds workable.

[elegiaque]

Excellent. I can make arrangements for your belongings if you need, otherwise you can get the address from Inquisition records and my steward will expect you and have your rooms ready.
