*wakes up in the morning feeling rested but a little guilty about being so standoffish with someone who clearly loves him and has missed him sorely*

*thinks it might be nice for her if she knew he wasn't opposed to getting to know her again*

*pads down to the kitchens in his bare feet and nightclothes and looking handsomely disheveled and arranges some fruit and pastries and tea things on a tray*

*takes his offering back to the east wing and knocks hesitantly on the door to Níniel's quarters*

Current Mood: calm

*has been laying awake for a while, worrying about Minuiel*

*hears his knock and wraps herself in the robe she found in the closet*

*can't help but smile a bit shyly when she finds him at the door* Good morning.

Hi. I hope I didn't wake you.

*just stands there stupidly for a minute* I...brought you some breakfast. It seemed like a good idea at the time? *apologetic smile* Nothing cooked, I'm afraid. It's better for all concerned, trust me.
From: [info]wailingwoman Date: 01/21/2007 23:21:35  

*quickly* I was awake.

*steps aside awkwardly to let him in* That was very kind of you, thank you. Are you... are you feeling better?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/21/2007 23:26:16  

*sets everything on a table just inside*

*rubs the back of his neck* Yes. A bit. I guess I mostly wanted to thank you? For being so understanding. I know it's probably hard for you to start over.

*fiddles with a cup of tea while watching him closely*

*softly* You don't need to thank me, Turamabar. I know you're having a rough time. I just want to help you however I can...

*takes a seat and motions for you to do the same*

You're sweet. *rests his chin in his hand and looks at you openly* I'm pretty curious, to be honest. And you said you had some nice things to tell me. *hopeful smile* I could go for one or two nice things.

*sits down*

*smiles at you and blushes a bit under your gaze* Well... *thinks it's time* You won't remember this of course, but... when you went off to battle I was going to have a baby. *smiles at him, hoping he'll be pleased* And I did, have a baby that is. A little girl. She looks just like you.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/21/2007 23:40:23  








Oh. Well that's...really...something sorryIcould'veswornyousaidababy??
From: [info]wailingwoman Date: 01/21/2007 23:42:29  

*laughs a little* And that's exactly why I was waiting to tell you.

Her name is Minuiel and she's beautiful and you will love her. *stares at him for a second* Are you okay in there?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/21/2007 23:50:27  

*blinks*

*finally notices his teacup clattering away in its saucer*

*sets them down carefully* *breaks into a shaky smile and runs his hands through his hair* That's really...wow. I'm a father. *laughs* You weren't kidding about having news, Níniel.

*wonders why on Órë Thingol would bother leaving out such fine and dandy! happy! details*
From: [info]wailingwoman Date: 01/21/2007 23:54:10  

*breathes a little easier when he smiles* Well, things have been happening, you know! *smiles herself* I left her with Dr. Ron, my friend, so you and I could get... reacquainted. But once you're a little more comfortable with it all, we can go see her. Just take your time.



*still worries about her baby!*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/21/2007 23:59:33  

*blissfully ignorant* Things. Oh, Eru, so many things! And I couldn't bear to miss any more of them.

*comes over to you and pulls you to your feet* *picks you up and swings you around* When can we see her? *excited, omg!* Why not today?
From: [info]wailingwoman Date: 01/22/2007 00:03:32  

*laughs happily* Today, today! *smiles* We'll go get her later today. She'll be asleep still now and I don't want her to meet her daddy when she's cranky. But today! *finds his excitement infectious and completely forgets that the baby isn't real, because she's totally real to her*

*gazes up at him* Turambar... I'm so happy... I don't think I've ever been so happy.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/22/2007 00:09:25  

*hugs you warmly* I'm sure she's never anything but beautiful.

*feels a real, genuine affection for you*

*the sort one only has for one's own family, you know?*

I'm happy, too, Níniel. *kisses your forehead and grins* Now eat something before my gourmet cupboard-raiding skills go to waste.
From: [info]wailingwoman Date: 01/22/2007 00:13:38  

*is swelled up with happiness* Okay, let's eat. *is reluctant to move away from his arms* *feels strangely safe there* *though from what? who knows?*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 01/22/2007 00:16:56  

*can't quite shake the urge to protect you*

*will settle for feeding you, for the moment*

*um. figuratively feeding.*
From: [info]wailingwoman Date: 01/22/2007 00:18:43  

*takes a seat and begins eating*

*can't take her eyes of you, though*

*feels strangely at peace for the first time in a long time*

*no way this is going to last*
