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.

Ellington.

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

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

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

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

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

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

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

[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"]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I only hope that my cartography is on par.

[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.

A kickball.

[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]

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

[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.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

A what?

[glock30.livejournal.com]

A ball. You kick it.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

Castle? I live in the apartments...

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

... Fútbol?

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

That is a good reason to keep him in the lake.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

He was getting to be too big. And that was a few weeks ago. So he must be huge now.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It is quite a vigorous sport, but I do not think this Ellington is suitable for it.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Better than keeping it as a pet.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I do not think it is a pet anymore. It would not fit in an apartment, the wine hall on the other hand...

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Very... huge, though not quite as enormous as other beasts I have seen before.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

You can't bring an animal in next to wine.
