It was beautiful and seemed filled with the combined knowledge of centuries.
Steerpike sniffed. He hated it already.
"Reminds me too much of back there," he muttered.

*Mrs. Lovett shrugged as she brought in her luggage*
"Never been in a place like this myself. Only low rent apartments in dirty streets."

"I can assure you that behind all these pretty carvings..."
His voice trailed off.
"And they're elves," he added scornfully.

"Don't know much about elves."
*She looked around the palace*
"Well, they can't be worse than humans."

"What makes you think that? They think they're better than us."

Wouldn't take much.
"At least they've given us a job with enough money so we don't have to stay in that miserable shop. Besides, it gives you a chance to network, as it were."

"Good thing for that. Otherwise I'd have to hang myself."

*Haldir came by, looking after the kingdom as usual. He was the Highest Commander of the Elven army, so the safety of the kingdom rested on his shoulders. He noticed two persons he never had seen before. He arched his eyebrows when he noticed they were humans. Here??? He came closer, greeting them in a military fashion.*
"Welcome to The Kingdom of Lorien. I am Captain Haldir of Lorien, the Highest Commander of the Elven Army. And who do I have the honor of speaking to?"

*She turned to face the imposing Elf*
"My name's Mrs. Lovett, and this is Steerpike. We were hired to supervise the kitchens."

"I am Steerpike," he said grandly, giving Lovett a quick grin as he mocked Haldir's tone, "kitchen rat and foul little souse."

*Haldir bowed politely, not commenting Steerpikes comment.*
"I am honored to meet you both. Please feel free to explore this kingdom all you like. But stay shy of King Orduag. He is... not well at the moment. Are there anything I can do for you?"

"If he's unwell, perhaps all he needs is something to eat," he said pointedly, looking at Mrs Lovett.

*There were several things Mrs. Lovett normally wouldn't have minded the handsome Elf doing for her, but Steerpike was enough trouble as it was.*
"Well, if you could show us where to put our things?"
*She smiled at Steerpike's comment*
"That's rather flattering, but I don't know about medicine."

"I'm thinking if you would allow me to bring him some supper..."
He gave her another Serious Look.

Oh lord.
"Well, it'll save me the trouble. If it's alright with 'im."
