"Whoa, whoa, slow down."  Adrian raised an eyebrow:  He had heard a lot of tales in his life, but nothing like this.  It seemed more like somethng he would read in a paperback novel and an actual reality.  Reaching a hand down, he gave his arm a little pinch, as if it would confirm something.  At the very least, it confirmed that pinching still hurt.<br/><br/>Adrian listened as the elf, as he called himself, continued to explain things without really explaining them fully.  It seemed that they were expected to take him on his word.  Of course, they really didn't seem to have a lot of options.  If this was really a dream, Adrian might as well sit back and see what happened. if it was real...then Adrian might as well sit back and let the elf lead the way.<br/><br/>"I'm also a bit curious as to what the parchment is."  Adrian added to the women dressed in black and purples voice.  "And i suppose some clothing would be useful too, if possible."
