*exits the MHC in contemplative form and glances at his watch*

*figures that, seeing as his train to Himring doesn't leave for another eight hours, he should probably continue fulfilling his familial obligations*

*sighs and steels himself before hailing a cab to the palace*

*dutifully waits for a servant to fetch Elwë*

*runs out of her dad's office to pack for their trip*

*sees him and runs over to give him a hug* Uncle Elmo!! We're going on a trip to the sea. Have you ever been to the sea? Are you going with us?

*oh my ERU the bubbly excitement is almost scary*
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/03/2007 15:40:37  

Hello, darling. Uhm. I have been to the sea, actually. I've just come back from there so, no, I don't suppose I am going with you.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 02/03/2007 15:48:21  

Oh. *face falls a little but not much really* That's too bad. Maybe some other time. Are you staying long? Uncle Olwë's in town! I haven't seen him yet because Daddy kicked him out but I think he's still here.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/03/2007 15:50:28  

I'm just visiting. My train leave in -- *checks his watch* -- ooh, about six hours and forty minutes. Now, how have you been, Pumpkin?
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 02/03/2007 15:54:51  

Very good! *beams* Well, mostly good. I think I have a boyfriend. *quickly* Don't tell Daddy!
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/03/2007 15:56:41  

A boyfriend? Oh my.

*folds his arms and smiles* So? Are you going to tell me more, o mysterious one? Or am I going to have to tickle it out of you because I will, you know.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 02/03/2007 16:01:37  

*blushes big time* His name is Gil-galad. He's Noldorin and Daddy doesn't like the Noldor or boys really so he can't know. But he's really a lot of fun and nice and stuff and he doesn't mind sneaking around and he gave me flowers even though I had to get rid of them before I came home. *breathes*
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/03/2007 17:05:31  

I've heard of Gil-galad. He was known for liking shiny things.

*a bit gruffly* I hope he's good to you otherwise I'll have to beat him up for you and we don't want that. I might put out my back.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 02/03/2007 17:14:52  

Well then my beautiful, shiny teeth must have been irresistable.

*smiles* Oh, he's wonderful, you needn't worry. But you're so sweet, Uncle Elmo. *kisses his cheek* I wish you could stay longer.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/06/2007 15:18:49  

You get those from our side of the family. *grins*

I wish I could too, sweetheart, but I have to get back to Celeborn. Perhaps I'll bring him to visit next time.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 02/06/2007 19:46:16  

That would be wonderful! Please do. *looks over her shoulder* I have to go pack now. Daddy's in his office having a nervous breakdown. Have a good trip home. *smiles*
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/10/2007 13:16:05  

Thanks, honey. Enjoy the seaside. *gives you a brief hug and slips a (pre-written) cheque (for a fairly significant sum of pocket-money) into your hand*
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 02/07/2007 08:36:42  

((I have no idea what I was thinking here, sorry!))
*emerges, his hands actually covering his eyes*

*peeks through his fingers* *breathes* Thank fuck. It really is you this time.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/07/2007 17:16:37  

*arches an eyebrow* And you were expecting whom, exactly?

*reaches out to shake your hand* How are you, big brother?
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 02/07/2007 17:35:55  

*what's with this handshake thing?*

*HUGS*

Oh, nobody really. But the last time anyone said "your brother's here," it turned out to be Olwë. Sort of a vague interpretation of the word 'brother'.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/07/2007 17:40:21  

*hugs, complete with manly backslapping*

Ah, I see. So. You two still aren't entirely seeing eye to eye, then? *sighs* Silly question, I know. How's the family? I met Lúthien. She's looking well and happy. *smiles*
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 02/07/2007 18:02:13  

You're right. It's a very silly question. *grins* Lúthien is...doing well, I think. That no-account, lily-livered former husband of hers is back, too, but I'll be damned if I'm letting him get his clutches on her again.

And how's that kid of yours doing? The loony?
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/10/2007 13:14:42  

*looks up at the ceiling* Better hope it's not fate this time round, then.

*raises his eyebrows and looks at you with a slightly hurt expression* No longer a danger to himself or others. For now, anyway.
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 02/10/2007 14:55:22  

*his lip curling scornfully* Fate. Never put much stock in it, myself.

*mildly* That's progress, at least. It's never easy putting a loved one away. So they say.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/10/2007 15:03:01  

No, you never did, did you?

*shakes his head* I suppose you'd know. You put Lúthien in a treehouse, as I recall.
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 02/10/2007 15:05:54  

*chuckles, undismayed* Well, it wasn't the most secure dwelling in the world, I'll give you that much.

Anyway. Are you staying in town long?
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/10/2007 15:14:56  

*shakes his head* No, I've a train to catch and I'm pretty sure I'll have a grandson to talk out of a cookie jar when I get home.

Drop me a line when you get back from the family holiday and I'll try to come by for longer. Maybe even see Olwë, if he's still around.
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 02/10/2007 15:19:58  

Oh, I'm sorry to hear it. *sort of is, amazingly* I'll certainly do that. I know you have your own..things going on but it sure would be nice to see you around Menegroth more often. That way Olwë might annoy you instead of me.

Say hello to little- *mentally groping for a moment* -Celeborn from his greatest-uncle.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/10/2007 15:28:56  

*smiles broadly* I will. I've told him about you and your underground city so I may be bringing him on a visit in the future. If he promises to behave.

*hugs you again* It really was good to see you again, brother.
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 02/10/2007 15:33:11  

*laughs* Oh, no matter. I truly don't mind them much until they're old enough to wreck the car and climb out their bedroom windows when they think you're not paying attention.

*hugs back tightly and grins* And you, as well. *warmly* No one deserves a completely batshit insane son less than you do, Elmo.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 02/10/2007 15:48:45  

I appreciate it, Elwë. Honestly.

*turns away*

*over his shoulder* See you soon.
