You are welcome, my lord.

[ Just smile and don't make any sudden movements, that tends to work. Of course, the elf is not from a place where people shake hands as a matter of course, so he stares at Charles' hand for a moment, then offers his own plate out.

Because ... the human is asking for more food right? ]

Maedhros of the House of Feanor.

--ah, no, it's a handshake. A hello.

[Right. Clearly there is some time travel involved here (he doesn't even think other worlds, after all pointed ears are hardly odd). He laughs a little]

Please, keep your plate.

[ex_discrowns53]

[ Oh. Oh. Gosh, the Edain have become clever with their greetings.

Yes, time travel. That works. From a time before ... well, let's just say there are hobbits and red books involved.

Maedhros sets down the plate and offers his left hand, looking a little bemused. ]

And this is a common form of hello for your people?

[guidesandleads]

At least in the States and Europe.

[Charles shakes Maedhros's hand, just as amused]

Other countries do things differently. I take it that's the case where you're from.

[ex_discrowns53]

I have not heard of those kingdoms before.

[ He pays strict attention to the handshake, memorizing the steps involved so he is not caught unaware when coming across another mortal. 'Countr' too gets an eyebrow raise, but the elf chalks it up to dialect differences. Which does not seem to matter here - he and Charles are conversing without too much trouble. ]

Aye, my kith and kin greet others differently. If I may ask, though, where are States and Europe located? Are they part of Eregion?

[guidesandleads]

...no. They're not even kingdoms. Europe has a few kingdoms but I'm pretty sure there's Americans out there who'd kill you if you suggested they had a king. Where's Eregion?

[ex_discrowns53]

It is west of the Hithaeglir.

[ ... He's not sure how he knows this, but. ]

In the lands of Endore. Middle-Earth in the common tongue.

[guidesandleads]

[Wut]

I've never heard of any of those places.

[ex_discrowns53]

[ ... ]

I fear we are from two different realms. For I have never heard of American. What is it?

[guidesandleads]

Someone who is a citizen of the United State of America, like me, though I was born in London, in England, which is another country.
