He is winding the watch of his wit; by and by it will strike.
            --William Shakespeare

            The darkhaired Noldor Elf Xanthus who is Oberon's brother in law intercepts Ferris at the far end of the Green Room,"What the hell are you and that Rory doing?" he barks out to the blond Kinglet of Hathor and grandson of Oberon.

            Ferris blinks for a moment at the terrible Noldor of the House of Feanor then says,"Lord Xanthus, what happens in the Houses of your father's brothers is our concern. This is not a matter for House Feanor."

            Xanthus growls,"If you and your redheaded buddy get the sun and the moon blown up, I will be pissed. Those Ardorites are growing in power."

            "Yes and no one has helped Rory and I in this matter, Lord Xanthus," Ferris says politely to him.

            Xanthus growls and his fingers curl back and forth. There is blue flame emanating from them. "That is so. I know that Amber intrigue and petty scheming has been exported with the House of Oberon."

            "If you export wolves to hunt deer then don't complain when they snack on your cattle." Ferris looks at Xanthus blandly.

            Xanthus snarls, changes the topic suddenly,"Are you involved in the Kolvirii Crisis. Your father is working to depose the Mayor."

            Ferris looks at him blandly,"My father and I do not talk. That said, if he succeeds, that would make me Crown Prince of the ancient lands of the pre Cornelians."

            Xanthus says back,"You play dangerous games boy."

            Ferris nods in agreement,"And most people say I am lazy and shiftless. I will accept your words as a complement.
