(OOC: This is a slight continuation of part of the Lavenrunz Winter Ball thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=101532) which is basically over by now, and, on pain of IRC pain from FSP {Jokingly I hope} I've decided to continue it here.)

"My home?, the Craftworld?", said Aliria, impressed by Kopinski's curiosity. "I thought you know everything about the Eldar Craftworlds, although my home is different, is a Craftworld after all. The only difference is that we gave it the shape of our ancient Kingdom of Doriath. We constructed forests, rivers and caverns inside, we populated it with animals and flowers, and filled it with the works of our hands and minds".

"Oh I hardly know everything about eldar craftworlds, indeed there are many things about them I would dearly like to know," he replied, sounding amicable, and not mentioning the fact that his interest was chiefly in locating a certain craftworld, Tor Yvresse, a place he would deal with at his leisure, "but I would say that I know quite a lot, I seem to recall (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=101532&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=364) you saying that I might be permitted to visit your home at some point in the future, I would dearly like that, it sounds beautiful indeed."

"If I invite you, of course. And I will. Just tell me when you would visit us, and I'll be ready to receive you as an honoroured guest. I gave you my word, and I'll keep it", said the Princess, adopting a regal appearance and a serious voice.

"I would like to visit as soon as it can be arranged, a few weeks time perhaps?" He asked, smiling again in a friendly manner, "I suspect you may have a time persuading your kin to allow it," he said, "I'm afraid my reputation is somewhat lacking."

"Amongst us you don't have a bad reputation, maybe the Eldar House of Phaelos will oppose your visit, but they're usually against everything I say", said the Princess, regaining her smile again. "I'll take a vacation, maybe two weeks, then you could come to the Craftworld as my personal guest".

"About the ShadowPrince, well, he would like to meet you just because he doesn't know anything about....you, the Ctan", she continued, "And he would like to know your view about the universe from the source, although he already spoken to Master Telgonthrind about the matter, and he consider the Farseer his...master, or his guide".

"I suspect that they would have a poor opinion of me, but yes, I will look forward to your hospitality," the comment about this ShadowPrince deeing Telgonthrind as a master was, interesting, very interesting in fact. 'Perhaps the Eldar dominates his mind, I wouldn't be surprised, they only pander to elves and call them 'kin,' and binding their leader to his will would be useful to Tel, and if he did so, it would be a trivial thing to undo it' he thought, almost instantly, "And I would very much like to speak with your ShadowPrince, I suspect I may be able to make many things clearer to him," he said.

"I hope so, as a matter of fact I thought that you were a metal squeleton with glowing green eyes. That's the image of your people we have in Aelosia, that's why I was surprised to meet you and see that you wasn't so hideous in appearance as I thought. To be honest, Master Telgonthrind is one of the persons in this universe that I respect most, but I don't agree about you with him. He seems to despise you and fear you, although you have been very nice to me", said the Princess, smiling again, her face like a soft gleaming star.

"You'll be my guest, and you'll speak to the ShadowPrince, I give you my word", she said, bowing slightly to Kopinski in a delicate and almost perfect way, even as her destroyed and dirty outfit hindered her movements.

"Well, the metal skeletons with glowing green eyes do exist, I must confess, even then, not all necrons are quite so evil looking. For what it's worth, I am not a necron, they are tools, in any case, I'm certain that I can explain their history in full to you at another time, as for Tel, well, that too is a long story, but suffice to say, he cannot really be blamed for his fear and hate of me, he has no choice in the matter," he said, smiling somewhat sadly, "And I thank you, I look forward to it, he watched her bow somewhat stiffly, and bowed in return, before replying, "I thank you then, but now I am afraid I must attend to my responsibilities."

"Then go and fulfill your duties. I hope that all the resentment and hatred that I see in your heart some day dissapear. I'll wait for you in Aelosia, Godspell, Master Kopinski", said the Princess, nodding to the Ctan emissary.
