Heads up, I won't be coming back to the room tonight.

I'm fine, don't worry. I'm just uh

Grounded?

[politicians]

You're trapped in the ground?

[ordinar]

What? No.

I got in trouble and they won't let me leave.

[politicians]

I see.

What did you get in trouble for?

[ordinar]

The guards had some questions for me.

That part went ok actually, but then I tried to use magic to calm myself down. It didn't work, and the guard could tell I was trying something.

[politicians]

[ ah. ]

Will you be all right?

the most side eye

[ordinar]

Yeah, I'm fine.

I thought it would go way worse.

[politicians]

That is certainly a relief.

But how did you want it to go?

[ordinar]

I mean, I wanted the guards to just leave me alone.

[politicians]

So magic in a castle full of mages?

[ordinar]

When you say it like that, yeah, it sounds...really fucking dumb.

[politicians]

I think it was just a lapse. After all, it must have been stressful.

[ordinar]

You're just being nice.

At least he didn't throw me in the dungeon.

[politicians]

That is a relief.

Do you need anything?

[ordinar]

I'm not allowed to have visitors.

I'm not even sure where they brought me.

[politicians]

That seems concerning.

[ordinar]

I mean, it's just a normal looking room. It's not that bad. But I've never been in this part of the castle before.

[politicians]

I see. At least it's only temporary.

[ordinar]

Yeah, I'll be back tomorrow.

Don't throw any wild parties without me.

That was a joke.

[He's known Elrond long enough to know that clarification is, in fact, necessary.]

[politicians]

I shall restrain myself.

[ordinar]

I believe in you, Elrond.
