*stirs slightly* *mumbling* ...league from the east bank and wait for my signal.

*cracks his eyes open* What's the report from the watch?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 08:03:46

*props herself up on her elbow and smiles down at you*

You're dreaming.

	From: gorthol	Date: 02/05/2007 08:06:46

*is not unaware of the strange fog that's descended on him, not being precisely human*

*has neither the understanding of his own nature or the presence of mind to shake it off, though*

*looks into your eyes, unblinking, unseeing* Thought you hated me.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 08:08:41

*runs her fingers through your hair*

Why should I hate you, silly?

	From: gorthol	Date: 02/05/2007 08:14:18

*doesn't answer, but reaches up and brushes his fingers across your shoulder searchingly*

*frowns in confusion* Are you healed already?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 08:22:01

*catches your hand in hers*

*a little worriedly* I don't know what you mean, Túrin. *shakes her head* I don't need healing.

	From: gorthol	Date: 02/05/2007 08:24:38

*breaks into a slow, sunny smile*

No, you wouldn't, would you? *teasingly* Braggart.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 08:30:23

*completely melts when she sees that smile*

*despite having no idea what you're talking about*

*oh well. talking's overrated anyway.*

*runs a finger down the center of your chest* I missed you today. I was worried you'd need me and you'd be too drunk confused to find me. *leans down to kiss you softly*

	From: gorthol	Date: 02/05/2007 08:33:27

*looks at you with love in his eyes, if not necessarily recognition*

*moves his arms around your waist and draws you down against him* I always need you. You must know that by now.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 08:46:06

*kisses you again, more deeply this time*

*shivers with pleasure at the touch of your hands and wonders if it's possible to die of happy* *between kisses* Since Nargothrond...I've wanted to tell you...but I didn't think...I couldn't bear it if you didn't...

	From: gorthol	Date: 02/05/2007 08:58:46

*returns your kisses, his tongue exploring your mouth eagerly*

Shh...all's as it should be... *slides a hand up to cup your breast gently*

*draws back for a moment to catch his breath* *frowns* Nargothrond...?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 09:07:24

*makes a small sound of dismay at being parted from your lips*

*feeling dizzy with need* Yes. You remember Nargothrond, don't you? *starts undoing the buttons on your shirt, her fingers fumbling in their haste*

	From: gorthol	Date: 02/05/2007 09:21:42

*covers your hands with his to still them*

*gazes at you with renewed clarity, waking by degrees* Finduilas.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 09:23:07

*her heart sinking* What's wrong?

	From: gorthol	Date: 02/05/2007 09:27:40

*moves out from under you*

I'm sorry. *brings your hand to his lips and notices his own hand is trembling* This is just moving too fast for me.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 09:35:06

Oh. *is completely bewildered by your change of mood* I'm sorry. It's just...it sounded like you wanted to...

*sits up and hugs herself* Then you don't love me?

	From: gorthol	Date: 02/05/2007 09:41:33

*gets out of bed and buttons his shirt*

*shudders with a sudden chill*

Love you? *softly* Finduilas, I barely know you. There's still so much I don't remember. And at the moment I don't particularly care to remember more. *feels the rest of his memories surfacing again and wipes beads of cold sweat from his forehead*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 09:47:20

*straightens her clothing and heads into the living room*

*her pride wounded* It's fine. I get it.

	From: gorthol	Date: 02/05/2007 09:57:23

*follows you*

That's ridiculously unfair. *catches hold of your arm and turns you to face him* Do you want me to know you, or do you want me to fuck you? Really, tell me. If it's just that it was a slow day at work, I can take care of that for you. Eru knows I owe you something for upkeep.

*shivers again, violently, his face deathly pale*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 10:03:57

*slaps you*

*close to tears* Don't you dare speak to me that way after what I've done for you.

	From: gorthol	Date: 02/05/2007 10:13:14

*caustically* Oh, yes, Finduilas. You're all charity.

*pulls on his jacket* I'm sorry if I gave you a different impression when we were lovers, but you can't have it both ways. Make up your damn mind about what you want.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 10:15:13

*doesn't bother telling you they weren't actually lovers in Nargothrond, either*

*weakly* Don't go, Túrin. You're sick.

	From: gorthol	Date: 02/05/2007 10:16:19

I'm FINE.

*stomps out of the apartment and slams the door behind him*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 02/05/2007 10:17:32

Fine then! GO AND GET YOUR FIX! Fucking junkie.

*bursts into tears*
