[Niko hates having to ask for stuff. He still feels bad for imposing on Roman so much for so long, but he needs money to get what he wants, and he can't do his job (either job) if he can't go into the woods or the caves.]

So uh...

This hasn't been an issue until now, but I didn't bring any armor with me. I wasn't really expecting so many explosions [or to get wrapped up with gun-runners] and I'm really need to get back to work. If anyone has good suggestions, please give them. I could use something, maybe have it imported in.

[There at least doesn't seem to be a shortage in people that would be knowledgeable in different armors, but probably all of them types he hasn't heard of.]

Is it something that other... humans [she almost said mortals] Do not understand? I myself could understand if it was another race, but not to know the differences among your own people.. well not you as you are speaking of it... but your race as a whole.

[vengeance_driven]

Humans don't understand each other in general, especially big groups of them. I'm not very good at describing why, though. Just in one place it is okay to have prearranged marriages and they last a long time. In another it is not and divorce is common. Both can produce unhappy couples, though.

That's just an idea of what I mean. There's a lot things we do that are different, but also not exactly good, not exactly bad, and they make people hate each other and generalize.

[She has a hard time believing that humans are so diverse. It sounds more like he was describing differing races rather than a singular people. After a little bit of reflection, she decided to voice her thoughts.]

Eldar are the same in many ways, it is true, but for a time there was a fracturing of my people as they spread out through the world of Arda. We spoke different languages, had different hobbies and lived in varying locations. But by the time I was born, the Eldar were once again more or less united under the banner of the same language, though our core ideas and beliefs seem to have remained the same from our earliest days on.

Hearing that the humans of your world is so completely diverse almost seems impossible for me to imagine it, try as I might. I do no think you would lie to me however, so I will have to believe you.

Hey, you must admit, I am different from most humans you meet. If I am typical then I am very sorry.

It is a very big planet. I'm not that good at this language because I only learned it as a teenager and didn't have reason to use it much. But I think my own language is beautiful, and was sad because my country used it.

[tawarwaith]

it is true, you are quite different. You must remember, until coming here, my interactions with humans has been limited to those of Esgaroth. They were rudimentary at best in their way of life. I doubt any of them even know a second language as you do. I'm guessing that any humans here are not of the typical variety anyway.

[vengeance_driven]

Maybe none of us are really typical, elf or human.

[tawarwaith]

[She smiles a little.]

That may well be the case. I think it is a good thing then.
