Nazili & Ceridwen

Nazili: "So uh... how long did you live down here for? It's quite the locale."

Ceridwen: Slowing her breathing, and staying quiet for a long moment. Almost long enough that it seems though she wouldn't answer or wasn't keen on replying. Lowering her voice to a volume unheard by those that cannot match Nazili's heightened hearing, she continues. "... I never traveled with my people during their expulsion."

Nazili pauses for a moment, then lowers her voice to protect Ceridwen's privacy. "I'm sorry, it was wrong to assume-"

Dismissively, "It's my young appearance.Your assumption is more of a compliment." In the darkness the curve of her smirk is easy for Nazili to hear.

Nazili scratches her head. "So where 'did' you grow up?"

Ceridwen, solemnly, "In the lands of my people before the High Elves took them from us. They were beautiful before the marble grounds and spires were erected."

"What happened to them?"

"The High Elves moved in in larger numbers. My people were displaced, things were amendable then, before the hatred changed them."

"The hatred drove them down here?"

"No. It was the alliance of elves that drove them underground. The hatred was always there, since they built the White Tower."

Nazili blinks slowly, trying to intake all of this information. "Would it be too much to ask to start from the beginning?" She asks shyly. "Dark Elven history isn't really something traveling minstrels talk about. And well, I can't read about it either." Nazili pauses. "Much of what you're saying is so very foreign to me, but I'm very interested."

"Much of our true history is lost to the eons of High Elven rule, I was young when they were sent into exile. I would never leave the ground's painted in Mondis and Lune's rays.

"So tell me, do you feel the same why I do? Being so far away from the light of our gods so deep underground here?" Nazili sighs. "That disconnect makes me uncomfortable."

Solemnly, "Yes, it's almost a immediate disconnect. I wonder if my people felt it during their exile."

Nazili shuts her eyes. "How awful."
