*has a grand old time exploring the many interesting sights Menegroth has to offer*

*is trying to understand just why those scantily-clad women are gyrating in precisely that way in a show window when he is accosted by several beefy gentlemen*

*several beefy gentlemen who inform him very politely that the king would be ever so pleased if he would join him at the palace for dinner, so won't he follow them there?*

*decides this Thingol fellow probably has more useful information for him, and is privately rather amused by his methods*

*returns to the uppermost level of the city willingly enough*

Current Mood: curious

*comes out front to meet you*

There you are! *crossly* Sal and the boys have been looking all over for you. Don't run off like that.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/15/2007 22:04:47  

*gamely resists laughing at you* Sorry, sir.

I have to say, I'm still a little confused as to how I'm important to you. Sir.
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 22:08:52  

*claps an arm around your shoulders and leads you inside*

'Important' is a relative term, Túrin. I'd say rather that as your foster father, I am damn well not going to give your real father any more to bitch about. Should he stop by. It's not that I like you, per se. Even though I do. Understand?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/15/2007 22:12:56  

*takes in the impressive sight that is the entrance hall* Wow. This place is...wow. :)

Understand?

Not really. *trying to take in too much at once* How is it you're my foster father? ... You know my real father? I didn't even know I had any. Biological or otherwise.

*chuckles* As eloquent as ever, I see. *marches toward a sitting room and throws the doors open*

If you'll shut up for five minutes, I'll explain everything. That's a little joke, see? *flings himself down upon a divan and barks for tea service*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/15/2007 22:18:18  

*is far too excited at the prospect of learning about his past to talk, anyway*

*takes a seat and looks at you expectantly*
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 22:19:48  

*waits for the tea to come and points to the tray equally expectantly*

*(you know what to do)*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/15/2007 22:21:10  

*rolls his eyes*

*chooses a scone*

*takes one dutiful bite before setting it on his plate*
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 22:24:12  

*appears appeased by this*

Good. So. *clears his throat* You were born. When you were eight years old, you were transferred to my care. You grew up in my household. You left my household. You did some stuff. Then you died. Then you did some other stuff. Now you're here. The end.

...

...

That's it?!
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 22:28:22  

What do I look like, a fucking encyclopedia? Look, the important thing is, we all got sparkling new lives in a sparkling new world. Some of us have our memories and some don't and some are way better off without them. But while you live in my household I expect you to ob- DON'T YOU GIVE ME THAT LOOK, YOUNG MAN. I'LL PUT YOU OVER MY KNEE.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/15/2007 22:30:10  

*laughs at the absurdity of it all* Assuming all this is true...why should I live in your household? It's good of you to offer but...I'm a grown man, for Eru's sake!

Eru?
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 22:31:10  

Oh, so you have a better plan then? I'm all ears.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/15/2007 22:33:32  

Well, I...was planning on looking for a flat. I mean I have a little money saved up from odd jobs and whatnot...and if I can just find a poker game or something I'm sure I can turn it into enough for a month's rent before I find a permanent position.
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 22:34:58  

*positively appalled* You. Are going. To GAMBLE for money to live on??
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/15/2007 22:35:54  

*offended* What? I'm really good!
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 22:43:39  

TÚRIN THALIODRIN, YOU STOP WITH THE STUBBORNNESS AND LISTEN TO-

*rubs his temples* *mutters* Calm. You are a sparrow alight. You are Esgalduin on a sunny summer's day. You are a pretty, pretty king. All who know you admire you and your fine taste in decorative wall hangings.

*coolly* I do not think it fit for a king's son to live so poorly. *grits his teeth* And as your FATHER, I would be pleased if you would agree to remain in my household, at least for a time. Because I worry and that sickens me.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/15/2007 22:45:16  

*crosses his arms*

*sullenly* I'll think about it. Dad.
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 22:46:59  

*brightly* Wonderful! Let's have some dinner then, shall we?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/15/2007 22:48:33  

*really has no idea how to respond to that*

Okay? I guess?
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 22:51:28  

And, oh, you haven't even met Lúthie yet. That's something to look forward to. Just think of her as your own sister!

...

Just think of her as a male person-who-isn't-you who had a sister would think of his sister. As a sister! :D
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/15/2007 22:52:26  

*so confused, omg!*

Little help here?
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 22:53:46  

We'll get to that.
From: [info]elrondmd Date: 01/15/2007 23:07:21  

*would be so PROUD to know you're using the affirmations!*
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 23:11:32  

*you may be his great-great-grandson but you're still a no-account Noldo on the other side, buster*
From: [info]elrondmd Date: 01/15/2007 23:12:57  

*will remember you asterisked that when you come down with pneumonia*
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 01/15/2007 23:13:34
