Introducing the Doctor.

*He swaggers in, looking a little too opulent in a black velvet doublet with scarlet pleats and gilt buttons. Yet there remains a certain scholarly sobriety about his bearing, almost an irony in the particular nature of his haughtiness, which seems rather that of scientists than of aristocrats

*raises an eyebrow*
"Learned beyond all worldly learning?" *snorts* Beyond all mortal, at best.

[ich_bin_faust]

*eyes him with attempted skepticism, although there is something about Fëanor that humbles him*

I have paid a heavy price that I should be instructed in all knowledge, both mortal and otherwise. But the demons would not instruct me in the ways of Heaven, and they did not speak to me of this place... and so perhaps I have some things yet to learn.

[finweson]

*more amused than arrogant, now - or maybe arrogantly amused* Indeed. Oh, indeed.
And what mortal knowledge is it you gained?

[ich_bin_faust]

*not as uncertain as before, but not quite haughty, either* What knowledge? Whatever you will name, mein Herr -- whether it may concern the properties of the elements, or the virtues of precious stones, or the harmony of the spheres, or the alignment of sun, moon, and stars, or anything whatever which pertains to the ordering of the universe, the wisdom of the ancients, or the infernal realms.

Of the divine I know much also, but... less than I should like.

[finweson]

*smirks* The properties of the elements, and the virtues of precious stones. Really. We shall have to talk on that some time, then...

[ich_bin_faust]

*not going to acknowledge the sarcasm* Indeed, we shall.

*Heh. Yes, Fëanor will probably be wanting to keep Faust away from things like, say, Silmarils...*
