Ealasaide, that sounds right... Only I don't know if Rilef could be described as appearing like two young men.

Oh, sorry. I had thought that the dead were Lefun and Ritun, who are oft referred to as twins and that share one set of legs between them. Seems to me that, at a glance, they could be mistaken for two separate individuals. ??

LOL! That's hilarious!

Rilef are Lefun and Ritun! They're twins joined at the hip and may well appear like two people momentarily to the unsuspecting eye. And for short, since they're usually address together, they're called Rilef.

It was all Elempi's idea with the name and the shortening and blending of names, so blame him if you're confused.

Thank you for the warm welcome to the thread, Folwren. Actually, I discovered that before your rather condescending comeback.

Ouch. I didn't mean to be condescending, I swear! I'm just easily amused. I do apologize for laughing. I'm sorry if I offended you.

And I've got a horrible feeling that this is going to end up in an awful mix up where you didn't mean something and I took it wrong and vice-versa.
But I've got to know - was that statement "Thank you for the warm welcome to the thread" sarcasm?

I didn't mean to be rude or condescending. It was the farthest thing from my mind. Your post was excellent. I'm very glad you joined. How can I make up?

I am sorry, too -- I have kind of a quick-draw on the sarcasm, so it tends to slip out sometimes on it's own. Also, since I am very direct in expressing myself, nearly 100% of the time I am read as MUCH more intense than I intend whatever I have written. I'm really quite harmless. Laugh away! I am not offended. I just mis-interpreted your laughter as pouncing upon my mistakes and was attempting to defend myself. I realize that sarcasm is definitely not the way to go when the other person cannot see the twinkle in one's eye when it is "said" in writing.

We are perfectly cool.

No need to worry or make amends.

How about we just delete this entire little exchange and pretend it never happened?

Oh, no! One's arguments and disagreements and misunderstandings must remain. They make for awfully funny reading later on.

(Allow another stab of sarcasm) - Elempi always says that conflict is good. It makes things interesting!

Besides, if we've made up, all is well and good, and we needn't worry about anything. The others won't mind, unless Pio comes in and sends the Chat Skwerl on us....

Excellent! Acceptance of apologies all around. I am glad you were not terribly offended by my laughing. It was not exactly at you, either...

Yes, sarcasm is hard to do successfully over a computer unfortunately. I'm sarcastic myself much of the time, in real life, and one must hold one's self back here, or have cranky mods on to one's self.

(There, that was sarcasm...)

Hehe...I'm having too much fun. I'm extremely tired today and probably find more humor than there really is in things.

Accept this and my last post as a real warm welcome. I'm sure you'll be a great asset to the Mead Hall inhabitants and writers.
