Ixy listens to this, and a bit of the elf's sadness slips in. Ixy thinks over how many people he's seen in similar situations through his travels- the small the large, the weak, the strong, the famous, and, as in this case, the nameless. He decides to listen to the rest of her talk to indigo, as she began while he was pondering. >... disipline? No matter.

Ixy looks at her, and sees the expression on her. "The dimming was nothing hard to produce, so no payment is needed. But I can tell that your distress is not just from the light. Please, tell me what troubles you so. I may be able to help. If I can't, I know someone who almost certainly can. "You said you cannot even give me your name. I can understand this. There were times when I, too, had no name to give. But perhaps there is a new name which you could use until your true identity can be told. In any case, remember that I am here to help you, if you but ask for my aid, it will come, to the best of my ability. Ixnaphior pauses after this offer, then continues. "You said that the rune structure is inherently dangerous, and also will not hold. Is there anything that can be done to fix this situation?" Ixy then takes out the picture he was drawing, and continues the sketch as he waits for a response.
