[Raven]

No, sir.

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Rain?

[Raven]

Not rain.
Here's some help:


Different things am I, but all the same.
All carry this one name.
Some seen, some felt, some heard,
All encompassed by this word.

[Philosoraptor]

Water

[Raven]

Not water, though through it move.
Not air, though travel there too.

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Sound? (I realize in retrospect that it's definitely not this, but at the moment, I'm stumped for anything else.)

[Raven]

You're close, and this one has been up for quite a while.
The answer is "a wave" or "waves." Light, sound, water, etc.

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Flat as a leaf
Round as a ring
Has two eyes
Can't see a thing

[Raven]

I'll make two guesses.

1. A coin: the face has eyes, it's flat, and it's round.

2. A button. Flat, round, and has holes for "eyes."

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Choice #2.

[Raven]

I liked that one, Coir.


Here's my next riddle:


They are the pride of the field.
If left in peace they fall.
They are the pride of the wall.
And see many an old hall.
Weapon in wild and handle in hold,
the tool of a champion brave and bold.

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Wood?

[Raven]

Of bone am grown
Of bone reborn
Of bone am never grown alone.

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Flesh? Or leather? (I'm stumped right now, and those probably aren't good answers.)

[Raven]

Of me they make a chandelier
By me they hold the knife so near
They count my points to show their pride.
And hang me on the wall-side.
