ADMIN:!!!!!!!!!!
This all happens BEFORE the fight starts between Dariel, Artifice, Amaan, and
Karl.  Sorry for the time warp here.

           ****************            *****************

Seeing that Bronwen and Angus were occupied with each other, and that Ornigan
had gone off to read while there was still natural light, Mistletoe turned to
Radan and said, "So you want to talk?  What about?  And where?"
 
"Well, I was thinking that my room would be ok, if that is ok with you?  I
don't want to make you think anything ill of me." Radan replied.
Mistletoe and Radan joined each other and went down to the deck below, to room
201,If that is ok, with you?
"Now, about your name?  Tillie, I thought that was your name, why is everyone
calling you Mistletoe, then?"  Inquired Radan.

"Oh, that."  Mistletoe sighed.  "Know much about elves?  Elves usually have
small families.  In the city I come from, they're trying to increase the size
of the families.  My parents were both from fecund famililes--they each had
four siblings.  By elven custom, the names of the siblings are given to the
children.  However, my parents fecundity failed, and I was an only child.  So
I was given ten names, those of my parents, aunts and uncles.

"To avoid confusion, I was usually referred to by the name of whichever of
them was absent at the time.  My Aunt Mistletoe died fairly young, so her name
was used more than the others.  I got so tired of the routine that I started
introducing myself to people by different names even after I left home.  But I
usually think of myself as Mistletoe, and that's how Ornigan and Bronwen think
of me.  So that name will do.

"Aha, well, that certainly explains a few things, I am glad you cleared that up
a little, for now, though, lets keep your names, all of your names, on tap. 
You can let me and the others know, I guess, later.
Do you mind if I just call you Tillie?  If you do, I can call you Mistletoe.
That is totally up to you."  Radan tried to be accommodating, which only
confused Tillie...

Meanwhile...
Shade had seen the exchange between all present, and just chuckled.
He saw the exchange between Bronwen and Angus and the children that came to him
to tell a story, and the sudden outburst from Angus after Killian played for
him.The conversation between the distraught Radan and "Mistletoe?" was it now?
The Daggers flying from Jenever to Bronwen.  Then Shade noticed the man that
walked in the mess hall and went over to a table at the far end of the hall,
and went underneath someone's table, Shade watched and noticed the aura from
the man, very powerful indeed...


Merol finished eating and went to his new room, for the first time, 207.  Merol
found his clothing and stripped out of his old smelly ones that he'd been
wearing before.  some how there seemed to be a bath waiting for him, and he
washed up before putting on the new clothing, afterwards, he looked like a new
man...' I will repay you Radan, if I have to save your life, I will.'
