Well thank the gods someone knows a good donkey call when they hear it.

[ Low, soft chuckle. ]

It seems that many here are unacquainted with nature. [ Aragorn is a prime eavesdropper. ]

It really does. It's kind of sad. I mean, I grew up in the city myself, but still. It's a donkey, it's not exactly uncommon.

[ Let her tell you about her animal feels, Aragorn. ]

'Tis a common beast of burden, even back home. [ A beat. There might be an odd, odd note to his voice when he continues. ] Strange, the similarities between worlds that remain even when everything seems to be different.

[ By eavesdropping, he means reading/listening to every unlocked bit in this post. What, it's there! ]

[ Aragorn you need to stop stalking people. This is why Elrond has questions about you marrying his daughter, okay. ]

Tell me about it. [ Sigh.

Pause. ] That was rhetorical, you don't have to tell me about it. [ You sound medieval, she figures she should clarify. ]

[ But but it's Elrond's older babbys that taught Aragorn all he knows about stalking! ]

... Then why say it? [ Now he's confused. And distracted from SENSE OF DOOM. So uh. Thanks, Jaye? ]

[ That doesn't mean you're supposed to use it on his little girl!!! ]

... I don't know, actually? It's just kind of... a thing people do. [ Now she's confused. ]

[ He doesn't stalk Arwen Arwen stalks him! >: ]

Such as greetings?

[ This conversation has turned to be about manners somehow. ]

[ SHE IS DADDY'S PRECIOUS BABY GIRL ARAGORN ]

Uh. Yeah, I guess? Though I think those might be pretty universal. Maybe.

[ Pause. Oh. That might have been a hint. ]

I'm Jaye.

[ BUT SHE WUVS ME, NOT-DADDY!!! ]

Strider. [ Because what is going by his real name on this ship. ]

The halflings speak of being in service to those they speak. Is this similar?

[ 8| ]

The what?

[ SORRY ARAGORN THAT WENT... COMPLETELY OVER HER HEAD. ]

Halflings. They call themselves hobbits.

I've heard stories about them. [ But she hasn't met any, not yet. ]

And... what is it that they say?

"At service to you and your family."

... And what was your question?

[ She is so confused right now. ]

[ Beat. He chuckles. ] Nay, it matters not.

How come you to speak the language of the wild so well?

It's part of my job.

Besides, I like animals.

Your job?

Have you ever heard of a being called Coyote on your world? It's relevant, I promise.

[ Pause. ]

Nay. I have not.

[ What is America. His world is only Europe okay. ]

He's considered a god, where I come from. A trickster and a creator, who gave fire to the people and who usually takes the form of-- well, a coyote.

He's my boss.

[ God = Valar. Boss = Leader. ... Servant of God = ... ]

You sound too youthful to be one of the Maiar.

One of the what?

The Maia. [ Beat. 'Helpmeets' of the Valar will probably seem an alien language to someone who isn't from his world. She's confused by 'halflings' already.

... Translation: ]

Servants of the Gods. [ Another beat. ]

Men call them Wizards.

Uh. [ UHHHHH. ]

Well, I've never been called a wizard before, but the gods back home try to blend in with mortals. People don't really believe in magic anymore -- they don't believe in gods half the time, either.

But every minder -- two for each god -- is given a gift, to help them with their job. So I guess that could be... wizard-like.
