*gives her a big smile* We've barely had a chance to talk, sis! Thought we could do some, y'know, family bonding and stuff. *cups his chin in his hand and looks interested* I want to get to know the real you.

*repeats* Olwë, what on Öré are you doing in here? *sighs* And how did you get in?

	From: telerinking	Date: 01/31/2007 21:02:50

*repeats* Just wanted to see you, Melian. Nothing could keep me from that, not even the all powerful Elwë. Especially after I bribed the kitchen staff to let me in the back.

Now. *lays back on her bed* Tell me all about yourself, Mels. What you like, what you don't like, how much you must hate my brother, how much you want me to take my clothes off right now, your favorite foods, all that. We'll be best buds.

*turns around to look at him* For one, I don't like men I barely know showing up in my room unannounced and uninvited late at night. Funnily enough, that's a dislike my husband and I share. Shall I call him in to discuss?

	From: telerinking	Date: 01/31/2007 21:13:08

*holds up his hands* Whoa, whoa, you're killin' me here, Mels. I just want to talk and here you are all uptight and no fun. Sounds like Elwë's starting to rub off on you. *laughs* Kidding, kidding. What I mean to say is that you shouldn't just go forming opinions about people without even getting a chance to know them. I mean, if I're going to do that, I'd walk away thinking you were an ice-cold bitch which would explain a lot about my brother, really. But no, here I am, all willing to give you a chance.

	From: queenmelly	Date: 01/31/2007 21:16:33

Oh, but Olwë, I feel like I know you so well already. However could you change my opinion of you? *laughs* Fine, you have ten minutes and then I'm calling the guards.

	From: telerinking	Date: 01/31/2007 21:22:07

*props himself up on his elbow* You're a doll, Mels, a real doll. *wastes a good thirty seconds of those ten minutes looking at her from head to toe and everywhere in between* *especially the areas in between* Damn, Mel, you're a pretty fine looking woman. *nods in her direction* I bet you don't get that enough these days, do you? Underappreciated and all.

	From: queenmelly	Date: 01/31/2007 21:27:23

*impressively manages to keep her eyes from rolling* I hear it often enough, thank you. *turns back to the mirror and begins organising her jewellery* In any case, I'm not a woman, so the statement is false.

	From: telerinking	Date: 01/31/2007 21:30:36

I hear it often enough

That's not what I hear. See, Mels, the help does like to talk, and they say you and Elwë don't exactly get along, y'know. Always fighting and the like. Course, it's not your fault, everyone knows that. He's just too full of himself to notice how lucky he is. You know you can do better, right?

	From: queenmelly	Date: 01/31/2007 21:33:21

*almost falls over laughing* My marriage is of no concern to you, Olwë, despite what you may think. It would be wise of you to tread lightly around the subject.

You know you can do better, right?

Are you trying to suggest that you are a preferrable alternative?

	From: telerinking	Date: 01/31/2007 21:41:05

What?! Hell yes. Of course not. I'm just here as... oh... an advisor, if you will. Just want to point out what might not be obvious to you. I mean, clearly Elwë doesn't appreciate you. He ignores your advice, he treats you like property, he doesn't give you any say in raising your daughter. Hell, they even say he's got some illegitimate kids running around here. Wake up, Melian.

	From: queenmelly	Date: 01/31/2007 21:43:19

Ha. Even if any of that were true which it mostly is, it wouldn't matter. Do you honestly believe I don't know those things? Do you have any idea who you are talking to? I chose this life and I would not be here right now if I did not actively choose to be. Perhaps you are the one who needs to wake up.

	From: telerinking	Date: 01/31/2007 21:45:56

*stands up and walks over to her*

Do you have any idea who you are talking to?

I think I'm talking to a sad, lonely little lady who feels lost because her life is falling apart and she doesn't know who to turn to. Face it, Melian, your marriage ended the day you gave Elwë the sort of pseudo heir he was after.

*places a gentle hand on her arm*

	From: queenmelly	Date: 01/31/2007 21:49:42

Do you honestly think you can play mind games with me?

	From: telerinking	Date: 01/31/2007 21:51:00

*closes the distance and whispers in her ear* I don't think we're playing any games, Melian, and I think we're of the same mind about this.

*leans in to kiss her*

	From: queenmelly	Date: 01/31/2007 21:52:17

*shoves him away as hard as she can*

You should really stop thinking, Olwë. You're not very good at it.

Your ten minutes are up. Leave now.

	From: telerinking	Date: 01/31/2007 21:54:45

*hits the bed post with his head* Ow, you crazy bitch.

*stands up and dusts himself off* Fine. Your loss, babe. Just don't come crying to me when you're all lonely at night and Elwë won't even look at you, much less keep you warm.

*heads out with a rude gesture*

	From: queenmelly	Date: 01/31/2007 21:56:24

Just don't come crying to me

Not. Really. A problem.

*waits until he's gone and then goes to take her damn fucking relaxing bath*
