Have I got all my fingers: One, Two, Three, Four, yes FIVE excellent. He gave the owl a smug expression and wagged his finger at it in admonishment, "I hope you saw that." It was only then that they started to pay attention to the newcomers       "You would be right friend, at least I hope we're friends. I mean you haven't tried to kill me yet, which makes you more friendly than anyone else I've met in this wilderness so far, not that I've met a lot, it is a wilderness after all."      "Anyway, it is not a place to travel alone, no indeed, that's why I am here. Of course I'm not entirely surely where here is, but I'm pretty certain that if it's not where I need to be, then it's somewhere on my way to wherever there is. I hope that's cleared that up for you."        "What, so you can pick it up? I'm not in the habit of disarming myself in front of random strangersm, even ones as charming as your good self, especially when I'm outnumbered 5 to 1. Such odds would hardly be fair, even with me disarmed," he scratched his chin thoughtfully, "Perhaps if I blindfolded myself first? And stood on one leg?"          The arrival of Teleri however prompts a rather different reaction,       "Who am I? Who am I?, he repeats the question again in elven, "A sailor known as Untwald once gave grave offence to a Priestess of Umberlee and was forever forbidden from plying his trade on her domain. In order to escape her wrath he was commanded to carry a fishing boat on his back and walk inland until he reached a land where no one would know what manner of object he carried."     "Faced with the wrath of a such a deity he had no option but to follow her dictates in order to propitate her. For many days and weeks he travelled until finally he reached a far distant land where the locals looked at him askance. For what manner of man was it who carried a home on his back like a snail? There he settled, and there at last he was free from the Umberlee's vengence."     "Far did Untwald's quest take him, but twice as far must I have gone to find a place where my fame has not penetrated," he finds a convient stump and leaps upon to strike a heroic pose, "Know then that you stand in the prescence of Laurent de Laurentis, Legend of the Waterdhavian Stage, he jumps down and his voice becomes soft and quiet, "Twice as far as Untwald must I have travelled to find a land that knows me not. Yet ten, twenty times further must I have gone for no word of the vision of beauty I see before me to have reached my ears. I know of no poems or sonnets composed in thine honour fair maiden for such must surely exist, I do confess my ignorance of thy name and station and humbly beg forgiveness great lady."</blockquote>
