“Excellent listener, hm?” Lahabrea couldn’t help but smile a little as he rises to his feet. “I certainly hope I don’t bore you to sleep.” He allows for Hythlodaeus to lead the way towards his bed, quite eager to know what the young man thinks of his humble abode. Lahabrea did well to mimic the style of Amaurot here but the bed he took some liberties on since he wanted something softer than the bed he has at home.

Hythlodaeus might be surprised by what Lahabrea discusses. The man is a veritable enigma in every sense of the word. While everyone knows of Lahabrea and his many accomplishments, not many knows about the man behind the mask. This is one of the rare times that anyone has treated him like an equal and not as the venerable Lahabrea. It’s rather refreshing but also a little jarring as well.

Will Hythlodaeus be impressed with what he learns about him? Or is he simply doomed to bore the young man to death with his incessant prattling? Only time will tell.
