I encountered a blue being in one of the forest lakes today. I half-expected it to speak but it only sang, much like a Naiad. What queer creature is this?

Lyra, thank you for your gift, and Toshiko I thank you in advance for yours. I will repay it in kind.

Y-you mean the map? That was nothing!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It was not "nothing" to me, Lyra. Maps are important and very valuable.

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

Well... They are, but... nevermind.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I only hope that my cartography is on par.

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

Huh? Don't they have maps printed in books where you're from?

Ellington.

The creature you met today, his name is Ellington and he's very sweet.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Ellington? It was quite large, large enough to frighten Destrier but only for a moment.

[handsomejack.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he didn't mean to frighten anyone, Ellington is quite friendly. The worst you can expect from him is a desire to investigate your ears.

At least, I hope he understands he's too large to sit on heads anymore.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I would not want this Ellington on my head. He appears the size of at least five centaurs with as many... limbs.

[handsomejack.livejournal.com]

Oh it sounds as if he's grown!

I don't think he would sit on your head then. He's always been very careful not to hurt anyone. He probably was glad of the company if he came to sing to you.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

You got to hear Ellington sing? You're really lucky.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It was a tune more than a song.

[Repeating the notes he remembers into the mic, not knowing it's the opening measure to "Mood Indigo"]

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

That's the one! That's what he would always sing when he was living with us. He's really nice and affectionate.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Do you not live in a castle? I can see why he is now in a lake if that is the case.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

Castle? I live in the apartments...

[glock30.livejournal.com]

A kickball.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

A what?

[glock30.livejournal.com]

A ball. You kick it.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

... Fútbol?

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Ellington!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I have heard him. He is an interesting creature, Blue.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I raised him, you know! If you want to call him you have to use a kazoo.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

You did? I hope that he was much smaller then.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Yes, about the size of a melon. He's very sweet.
