*feels a little bit better for shouting at talking with Gil-galad*

*goes for a bit of retail therapy and buys even more cute maternity wear!*

*tells the shop assistant to charge it to Gil-galad, c/o Fingon, Lord of Hithlum*

*goes out into the bright fake sunshine and walks through the streets of Delving, feel a little more content*

*catches sight of herself in a shop window and suddenly realises one thing*

I'm getting fat. *hyperventilates*

*spots you from the nearby cafe where she is taking her lunch break*

*pregnant teenager in distress!!*

*comes over and guides you to her table*

There you go. Sit down and relax. Breathe normally. It's going to be all right.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/02/2007 09:23:27  

*sits down* Oh fuck, oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck. Make it stop, make it *gasp!* stop.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/02/2007 09:26:14  

*getting a little panicky now!*

What what what what? What's wrong, sweetheart? Are you in pain? Do you need me to call a doctor? Is there something wrong with the baby?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/02/2007 09:34:04  

*finally manages to take a deep breath* I'm pregnant. Oh - oh fuck.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/02/2007 09:35:56  

*sits back in her chair, a little relieved*

*doesn't know quite what to say*

You only just realized this? You should see a doctor.

*gives you a hopefully comforting smile* I'm Finrod.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/02/2007 09:40:57  

*almost laughs* Oh. Oh, no. My doctor was the one who told me.

*grips the edge of the table with her fingers* Hi, Finrod. I'm Eärwen and I'm really sorry for freaking out on you there? I guess I'm just having a hard time adjusting.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/02/2007 09:43:33  

*nods* That's understandable, Eärwen. Having a child is never easy I've been told and I'm sure the situation makes it all the more difficult.

*curiously* That's an interesting name. Eärwen. Were you named after someone? *wonders if they might be related or something*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/02/2007 09:46:12  

*shrugs* I wouldn't know. Apparently I had children, you know, Before? But I don't remember.

Were you named after someone?

I don't think so? At least, I've never heard of any other Eärwens.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/02/2007 09:48:28  

I've never heard of any other Eärwens

*conversationally* My mother was an Eärwen.

Apparently I had children, you know, Before? But I don't remember.

*suddenly has an uncomfortable thought* *looks at you closely* *really closely* Oh, Eru, no. Not really. Right?




Mother?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/02/2007 09:50:04  

*stares back at you* *gets nothing*

*starts to babble* Look, I really don't know who you are and you're scaring me a little. All I know is that my dad's Olwë and apparently I used to be married to a complete and utter asshole called Finarfin and I just don't know anything else, I promise, I promise.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/02/2007 09:53:08  

*keeps staring at you*

Olwë Finarfin

Oh, Eru, it is you.

*snaps out of it* *is apparently the adult here, after all*

*places a gentle hand on your shoulder* Shh. Calm down. All this worry isn't good for that baby. I'm going to have a little brother or sister yay!!! *smiles gently* I'm sorry for scaring you, I was just a little shocked. Don't worry. You don't need to remember anything.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 10:40:24  

*just stares at you*

You -- you're m--my daughter?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 10:47:00  

*doesn't know what to say*

Yes. Well. Actually I was your son before, but Eru has an interesting sense of humor or maybe he just got it right this time.


You called me Findaráto. Or Ingoldo when you were mad. *smiles a little*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 10:54:57  

*keeps staring*

You're very pretty. *is somehow relieved by this*

*in a weak voice* I think I want Daddy now.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 10:58:09  

*blushes a little* Thank you.

I think I want Daddy now.

Yes, of course. Do you want me to take you home...? </hopeful>
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 11:08:29  

*nods slowly* Only -- only we're living in a hotel at the moment. Uncle Elwë doesn't like having us at the palace.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 11:10:50  

Oh, okay. That's fine. Just let me grab my bag.

Uncle Elwë doesn't like having us at the palace.

That's strange, isn't it? He seemed like such a nice man when I knew him before.

*guides you out of the cafe and onto the street* Which way?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 11:13:38  

*points to the right* This way, and then we're at the end of the street. *wrinkles her nose* It's, like, a nice hotel. Their hot chocolate is really nice and now that I'm eating for two, Daddy says I can eat as much as I like so I don't just eat salad anymore.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 11:17:20  

*thinks you are a strange and fascinating creature and not terribly much like the mother she remembers at all*

Really? That's good. I like a good hot chocolate myself sometimes. Have you been in the city long? I only just arrived myself a few weeks ago. Barely settled in. But I've managed to get an apartment, so there's that, and I have a little dog. He keeps me company. Do you think you'll be moving out of the hotel any time soon? *is babbling a little, yes*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 11:24:04  

*totally doesn't notice you are babbling* Oh, I don't know. I guess we'll stay a while, anyway? I mean, there's a really nice doctor in Delving so I don't really want to leave and I think Daddy wants to stay and the boys can look after everything at home.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 11:26:21  

the boys

Ah, yes. *vaguely remembers her... interesting uncles*

*gets you to the hotel pretty quickly to her dismay* Oh. Here we are, I guess.

*doesn't really want to let you go back to her crazy grandfather now that she's found you*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 11:37:42  

*feels an irrational sense of fear about you going away*

*in a rush* Wouldyouliketocomeinandtrythehotchocolate?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 11:43:39  

*breaks into a big smile* I would love to have some hot chocolate with you.

*follows you into the hotel dining room and takes a seat*

*suddenly isn't sure what to say*

...Do you know whether you're having a boy or girl yet?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 12:02:26  

*shakes her head* No. I guess it's a little early to tell? I'm not sure if I'd want to know, though? I think I'd prefer to keep it as a surprise.

*a bit shyly* Which would you prefer?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 12:05:00  

That's nice. I like the idea of a surprise, too.

*thinks for a moment* Well. I had a lot of brothers before and only one sister who wasn't much better than a brother. I think I'd like a sister.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 12:15:57  

*stares at her hot chocolate when it arrives*

Finrod? Can I ask you something?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 12:17:46  

*takes a sip of hers and then stirs it slowly with a spoon*

Of course. You can ask me anything.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 12:29:36  

*still doesn't look up at you*

Were we -- was I -- happy?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 12:35:20  

*smiles gently*

You were happy. We were all very happy. We had a wonderful family. *carefully* Things were rough, some bad things happened near the end, before my brothers and sister and I left. But I don't think you were ever really unhappy. Maybe just sad.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 12:37:05  

*manages to smile a little at that*

I wish I could remember but I can't. It's like it never happened and I'm sorry because it must totally suck for you? But I don't mean it?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 12:41:30  

I'm sure you'll remember in time. Don't worry about it right now. Enjoy being young and a teenaged mother. It'll come back whenever. And you can ask me anything you want whenever you want.

*wonders how to approach the question that's been at the back of her mind for a while now* *delicately* Uh. You mentioned meeting Finarfin?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 13:44:02  

I-- thank you.

*wonders where you got this sweet nature from?*

*nods and grimaces* I almost fell over him, right? And he was really mean and he's, like, a monk or something.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 13:47:53  

*wonders where you got this sweet nature from?*

*the Vanyar? maybe?*

*raises her eyebrows* Mean? A monk? *wonders what the Mandos is going on in this world if everything's so backwards and upside down and everything* I hadn't realized he was even here. That's good. Except the mean part.

*takes a big drink of her hot chocolate* *doesn't like that her parents don't like each other*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 13:56:20  

*waves a hand* Or something, I don't know. He's, like, celibate or something.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 13:59:29  

*nods* Well. I guess everything's different here, huh? Not that you would know, I guess.

*is starting to feel a little overwhelmed* *tries to focus on you, though* *smiles* Are you feeling any better?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/03/2007 14:02:48  

*nods and forces a smile* I am. Thank you.

*really means it* *repeats* Thank you.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 14:05:01  

*smiles softly* Good.

*begins writing something down* Look, I have to get back to work, but... *hands you a paper* This is my number and my address. Call or stop by whenever. I really mean that. Whenever. *smiles again*
