["With luck! But Thorir does speak in more languages!"]

[espigeonage]

["He has more time than me and goes more far away, I expect it."

yeah Julien doesn't know the word for 'year'.]

[sylvanguard]

[By now Ariel is starting to get a handle on speaking Sindarin, but she I'd still struggling to think of English words. To facilitate talking normally again, she starts putting in effort to not use Sindarin.]

Right. I'm sure. You'll speak it better than him no matter what. But we should speak English more now.

[espigeonage]

Sure. ...You all right there? You sound different.

[sylvanguard]

I'm trying not to use fantasy language here. The last thing Killian needs is me babbling at him in a language he cannot understand.

[espigeonage]

As long as it's a non-emergency situation you'll have time to sort that out! He can handle hearing Sindarin.

[sylvanguard]

True as that might be, it's still nice to have a conversation where the other person isn't completely confused by it.

[espigeonage]

Yeah, I guess!

Hah, sorry. I didn't think that'd happen.

[sylvanguard]

When I get back though you and I can have a conversation. It'll be good practice for me.

[espigeonage]

Right, sure!

How do you like Vegas? Ever been there before?

[sylvanguard]

I was here for my 21st with my family. It wasn't nearly as fun then. I assure you.

[espigeonage]

I'm sure. I've never gone there with a date, but I did pick up a tourist who fancied himself a poker champ, once...

Lose your life savings yet?

[sylvanguard]

That must have been something then. Did they spend their winnings on you?

[She laughs, and her tone remains light hearted when she speaks again,]

Not yet, but we only just got here not that long ago. I have a 20 dollar rule. I only gamble 20 dollars and never take more money or a credit card with me when I do.

[espigeonage]

I was his luck! You have to shower your luck with good things when it's going good or it'll turn on you. Didn't last of course. I'm a fickle, heartless lad - alternately, he wasn't as good at the game as he thought. When you're responsible for the good you have to be for the bad too.

Probably for the best. Twenty per day, or casino or what?

[sylvanguard]

That sounds a lot like there is more to that story! I'll have to pry it out of you when I get back! As for the money 20 a day unless its a day with the intent to gamble! I can't afford 20 a casino.

[espigeonage]

Haha, good! Probably wise.

Where are you staying?

[sylvanguard]

A little off the main strip, and not in one of the "Numbers stay free" places. We're being cautious since things have been going down here apparently.

[She isn't giving exact info thanks for that little prank with the phone.]

[espigeonage]

Good. I'm telling you, if you get ritually murdered I'm never forgiving either of you.

[sylvanguard]

I promise we'll both play it safe. Me more so since I have to hide my ears.

[espigeonage]

A cowboy hat would help.

Basically I want to see you in a stetson.

[sylvanguard]

Yeehaw? I might pick one up just to amuse you.

[She laughs, and it even sounds like she is grinning.]

I'll see if I can't find one here.

[espigeonage]

Go native, Ariel! Ignore the voice of reason saying it's too silly, that's what I always do!

I lived out in Arizona - same general area - for a couple years once. They love them some cowboy hats there. Well, it does help with that killer sun.

[sylvanguard]

You did? Really? I would never have guessed. now I want to see you in a cowboy hat. What color do you want? I'm buying you one.

[espigeonage]

Haha, if you insist! I'll let you decide.

But you should know that in the old westerns the bad guys wore black hats, the good guys wore white. Choose wisely!

[sylvanguard]

What about brown or yellow?
