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 almost feel bad for laughing at him. Almost. :P
And pff, Alex, you should know better than to assume anyone donated anything. Silly.class what class it's not started yet shhh))
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. “Shall we–” He cut himself short and squinted. “Wait a sec, is that a Noldorin Elf I see?”
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, slightly squinting. "But I guess the name answers it."
"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 to life? I'm not even sure anymore. And he's got some sort of connection to Feanor's second so--Galloping Griffins, he's missing a hand!" Dawn clapped a hand over her mouth for a moment, desperately hoping that her voice hadn't carried. When there was no immediate death by Noldorin glare, she lowered her hand and continued in a voice that was just above a whisper. "That can't be right, that's the same hand Maedhros lost. He shouldn't be missing a hand at all--he looks like Maglor! What is he, a recruited mix of Maglor and Maedhros? Maybe he's a Maglor who got Maedhros' backstory? This makes no sense!"
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 archivist. Isn't that–?” Des cut himself short. “Why do guesswork, let's go introduce ourselves to the guy.”
“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?"
“Wait a sec. Dives? As in... are you related to Rina Dives?” Des tilted his head.
"Yes, I am, and I don't want to talk about it," he said, turning away. "Especially not today."
“Sorry, dude.” Des bowed his head briefly. “Didn't mean to upset you. You said DoSAT... d'you happen to know a Unison Device by the name of Corolla?”
Ahem. More seriously, I'm going out of ambit for the next few hours, so assume Dafydd is just keeping the f'lizards quiet.
hS
I checked the Board before I pressed 'post reply'... what are the odds?
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. And she's nice."
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 agent."
((And dropping out again for class. I miss summer. :/ ))
