The Teacup on the Floor

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Story

Sarmëtecil, the secretary-scribe of the Order of the Pillar, had learned a trick lately for dealing with the Lady's recent jumpiness: she knocked on the wall of the hallway before reaching the door of the office. The sound was fainter and, to the keen ears of the Eldar, fairer -- perhaps the wood was lebethron, Sarmë knew not, and she was no harpist, but judged the sound to be lighter and gentler than the sound of knocking on the actual door.

In her discomposure at Lómestel's unwillingness to accept the smallest gesture of hospitality, Lady Manadhlaer asks everyone else present to verify that both the teapot -- charmingly decorated though it is -- and the tea within are perfectly ordinary and not poisoned nor drugged. In the process, some tea is spilled, which, while no loss to a richly provisioned House, is discomfiting to any scholar.

Lady Manadhlaer, faced with Lómestel's persistent obstinacy under questioning, begins to lose her composure and upbraids him for the poor quality of the allies he chose -- pointing out that the mysteriously absent Woman succeeded in slaying two Elves, but fell victim to mistaken identity both times.

As night falls, Maedhrathin retrieves his harp from Lindir and improvises some music to delight the companions. After a false start with a sort of "tiddely-pom" rhythm, he finds his muse, and his friends dance by starlight, lamp-light, and remembered light:
You can't start a fire
Can't start a fire without a spark
This sword's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

A note given to Filegris for the eyes of Arradril:

My Bow-Bending Colleague,

The sorrows of the Eldar may be never-ending, but receiving your missive lessened my particular sorrow upon its reading.

I thank you for your kind words on the occasion of my oath-taking. Yours was a face I would have enjoyed seeing at the ceremony, but the nature of duty being what it is - and one I understand and fully endorse - I took no offence by your absence.

Once More the Hammer Falls

Although Lord Tindir was forced by urgent duty to depart, the revelry following Branalph's Oath-taking continued in the Hall of Fire. Elvealin and Ealendil, long accustomed to making music together, played "Hammerfall," the ancient anthem of the Order of the Hammer. A few present knew why Lady Manadhlaer dabbed at her eyes with a handkerchief... but the wine flowed, and Tolmen, newly healed through repentance of past misdeeds, joined the group and essayed a dance or two. Only Sogadan sulked, seeming not to appreciate the rousing battle-anthem.

Having bestowed the Oath and the swan-badge upon Branalph of the Hammer, Lord Tindir calls for a toast to the Order's newest fully oathed brother in arms. Luckily, Lady Ambassador Tingruviel, the House's chief diplomat, always finds the ideal words for such an occasion.
