"Have 3 issues I wanted to bring up. First is, I hate to bother people, but I just finished making a batch of candies and haven't enchanted them yet."

With this she holds up a little white sugar candy with a pink kitty head in the center, "If anyone wants to try them, and let me know how they are. Well, since I don't have any actual molds and the only flavorings were some tree sap that went with all the bacon that was used, I could use the critique."

"Second is, does anyone do blacksmithing here? I haven't seen a proper forge, but I haven't wanted to dig through everything. Privacy is almost nonexistant here and I don't want to but in on someone's personal space if there is one in hiding."

"Finally, and this is going to sound a bit odd since I look maybe twelve, but. I haven't really have a lot of experience with living like this in as long as I can remember. Watching the exploits of others on a giant screen, going on about love and what not, birthdays. These are all things I've seen, and I know they have meaning... I just haven't really paid attention to them in so long, I've kind of forgotten if they are actually important, or just a way of passing the time till the next disaster."

"Anyways, thanks."

Glorfindel walks in and over to where she is. "Hello, I would like to try the candy. I might also help partially with the forge issue. I'm not good as a blacksmith or metal worker, unlike Feanor, Curufin, or Nerdanel, but I can act as the forge itself."

Then he smiles at her. "You sound a little like one of my guardsmen who spent the good part of three hundred years out on assignment. They had some trouble re-integrating into society at first."

"Oh? The forge. Fire magic?"

With that she pulls apart a few of her poker chip sized sugar candies and offers them over.

"As for the other thing. I've spent over 700 years as an ageless oddity. Back home I founded the country I lived in, just because I was tired of not having people to do all the things I didn't know how to. I've been less of a person and more of a terrifying founding spirit for longer than I want to admit."

"That's remarkably easy to have happen," Glorfindel said with sympathy. "When you are treated as a legend and not as a person. I got that a bit when I was reborn, but fortunately I made a couple of very stubborn friends who treated me like a real person. Still get a little of the other, but not so much after almost 5000 years, thank Eru."

He popped one of the candies into his mouth. "Oh, that's nice! Elves have a bit of a sweet tooth," he told her with a smile.

"Not fire magic. Not exactly. But I can heat the metal in my hands." It was far safer to be touching it to do it.

"I can't really blame them. I brought magic to that world. But honestly, it wasn't due to altruism or anything. I was just bored, and I wanted an excuse to bring people together to build an actual city. One with running water."

She shivers a bit, "I hate wells. I hate the concept of dragging water from a hole in the ground across the country to a place it can be useful."

Watching him eat she nods a bit, "Ah, makes sense. Are those candies worth enchanting, or was that maple stuff not good?"
