"Forgive me--my name is Silas. I have been told so many different things, I can't possibly keep them all straight," Silas said, with a small, wry smile. "I thought perhaps if I found the library, I could find some books that would make all this make a bit more sense."

Hearing about the Rule quite surprised him, but it was likely for the best--with creatures like Damien Thorn running about, it was almost necessary. "At my Sorting, I met all sorts of people and creatures I would never have thought existed. All my life I thought the world was a place governed by simple rules, and now it turns out to be...much more complicated than I ever could have expected." Strangely, he did not find the bow odd--it was probably sense, if Legolas was going somewhere outside the bounds of no-kill zone.
