Maglor was sitting at the bar.

He war drinking Michelob beer from a bottle, and eating his third fishburger. No, really - even human junk food tasted excellent in this place.

There was a small white rat watching him eat, not greedy for food, but on the contrary proud that the elf liked it, and poised to bring him more.

Amglor turned and smiled at the woman who he had made music with some days ago.

"Hello, Amanda," he said, raising his beer as if to say 'cheers'.

Taking a seat cheerfully. She remembers it was a much needed break from sorrow and not something she is likely to forget anytime soon.

Raising a chocolate in reply she eats it before addressing him again, "How do you fair this day?"

"I am relaxing," Maglor admitted. "I start trusting the world not to screw me over and fuck me good just because I'm enjoying myself a little bit. As it usually does."

Can we get an Amen?

"That's good. We all need a rest from time to time." a sweet smile, "Thank you by the way."

"Thank me for what?" Maglor asked.

"The other day. Your music was beautiful and really helped cheer me up."

"It is what I do - the music, not the cheering-up," Maglor said. "The cheering-up is jsut a byproduct."

"Well it's still appriciated."

"What have you been up to lately? Other then cheering up depressed immortals."

"Trying to trust the world again, and writing music," he said.

Amanda nods, "That sound deliciously peaceful."

"It was," Maglor said. "I'd forgotten what 'peaceful' felt like."

Amanda takes another look aound the bar and she seems to relax a bit. "Enjoy it while it lasts."

"It never lasts long here, doesn't it?"

"It never last's long anywhere. But I think you understand that better then most I speak with." no she doesn't know his story but she knows he's an elf and that they live longer then mortal men.

"You can say that again," Maglor said, wrily.

She considers actually saying it again but then decides not to. It's an old joke. "How's the beer?"

"Oh, it's good beer - decent industrial Earth beer. At least from my version of Earth, the one that once used to be Middle-Earth, long ago..." Maglor said.

"How do you know that it's from the Earth that used to be middle-earth?"

"Because when I lived there, I often had it," Maglor said. "Of course, I don't know if other Earth's have it as well."

"Well then that would explain it I suppose." she smiles. She can feel her energy levels begin to plumit and she gives a chuckle, "I think I should go. I've had far more sugar today then I should have and I think I should go lie down."

She stands, "It's been a pleasure speaking with you again."

"See you, Amanda," Maglor said with a little grin, returning to his fishburger.
