*leaves Hithlum in the mid-morning to catch a flight to Delving*

*walks past the library on her way to the café* *looks up and down the street thoughtfully before going inside*















*emerges eight hours later, having been asked to leave because it's closing time* *is clutching her right arm and looks like she has seen a ghost*

*goes up to your room in Hithlum and discovers your absence*

*asks around and finds out that you flew to Delving*

*isn't actually worried when you don't come back in the afternoon* *is just mildly curious* *and then perhaps slightly concerned* *and then goes to the airfield and orders his private jet to take him to Delving*

*quickly hears about a small redhead causing a disturbance at the library*

*makes his way there immediately* *really hopes his siblings don't hear about this*
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 15:35:59  

*is sitting on the steps of the library, answering a pair of marchwardens' questions*

*is in a state of eery calm* No, officers, it won't happen again. I just had a bit of a shock, that's all.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 15:39:43  

*calls out* Russandol!

*jogs over to you*

*reaches into his jacket pocket for his chequebook* *to the marchwardens* I'll pay for any damages--?
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 15:41:03  

*looks up at you with a faint glint in her eye* You. You cut off my hand.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 15:49:26  

*looks at the marchwardens with a touch of alarm* Oh, oh. She doesn't mean this time. She means back on Arda. You do remember Arda, right?
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 15:51:29  

*waves at the marchwardens with both hands* See? He's managed to contain the urge to dismember me so far.

*smiles sweetly* You can go now, officers, unless you want to get involved in a domestic?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 15:57:41  

*watches, perturbed, as the marchwardens walk away* *sort of wishes they'd hang around because you? look a little scary*

*in as business-like a tone as he can manage* So. Have you remembered or have you just -- read all about it?
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 16:23:57  

I read all about it. I read about how we grew up together, how we murdered our way through Alqualonde together (who says romance is dead?), how even though I tried to get my father to send the boats back for you and didn't succeed, you still cut off my hand to save my life (sweet, Findekáno, very sweet).
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 16:24:27  

So -- so you understand it was to save your life?

*--*

So why are you so mad?
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 16:25:38  

*bursts out* Of course I understand that. What am I? An idiot?

So why are you so mad?

I'm not mad.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 16:26:22  

Yes. You are mad. You're making that face. That "Apologise all you like, 'káno, because I'm going to disregard anything you say" face.
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 16:29:31  

Oh, stop being so insufferable, 'káno. You really are a fucking idiot, did you know that?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 16:30:37  

*is completely puzzled* What? How am I an idiot? I'm not the one who caused a public disturbance in the middle of Delving over something I read!
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 16:50:25  

Ask yourself why I had to read it, 'káno! Wait, what's the reason again? Because my own cousin, my own lover, my own king wasn't man enough to tell me himself!
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 16:55:36  

*stutters* I -- I -- I --
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 16:58:48  

Oh, put a sock in it, 'káno! You loved me enough to cut off my fucking hand and now you can't even bring yourself to tell me the fucking truth? Surely you can see why I'm upset! You don't fucking love me and it's like a fucking great hole that I'm trying to fill with memories that aren't even mine, it's just hearsay but it's all I have because you're such a fucking coward!
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 17:02:37  

Russandol. You don't understand how difficult it is--
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 17:07:36  

How difficult it is? You've come back with your full compliment of memories and your brother and your sister and your son! What have I come back with, 'káno? An ID card, that's what!

*shakes her head and covers her eyes with her hands*

*muffled* I learned their names. Maglor. Celegorm. Caranthir. Curufin. Amrod. Amras. I learned their names but I don't know what they look like.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 17:10:37  

*suddenly feels kind of bad that his main problem has been with his sexual orientation*

*as lightly as he can* Oh, you all looked the bloody same, you know. *jostles your shoulder lightly*
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 17:15:56  

We--what?

Oh. You're joking, right?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 17:17:27  

*continues blithely* Oh, no. You were the monstrously tall one. Maglor was the singing one. Celegorm was the fair one. Caranthir was the dark, scowly one. Curufin was the hot-head. And, well, to be fair, Amrod and Amras did look the bloody same, what with being identical twins and all.
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 17:23:41  

Monstrously tall? *stretches out her legs and looks down at them* I can't really picture it, you know?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 17:28:51  

*laughs softly* You know? I can't really picture it either, right now? I think Órë-you would scare me even more if you had the Arda-you proportions.
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 17:29:30  

*opens her eyes wide* I-- I scare you?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 17:33:00  

*snorts* Well, you're a woman, aren't you? By definition, that's pretty frightening.
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 17:35:48  

*looks at you sideways* Are you this scared of your sister?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 17:38:26  

*screws up his face* I'm not sure now is the time to talk about my sister but, yeah, she's a little frightening, don't you think?

*looks at you sternly* Do not, on pain of death, tell her I said that.
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 17:45:39  

*smiles a little* Cross my heart.

*touches your cheek very lightly* So. What's so scary about women?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 17:49:22  

*can't help smiling a little in return* Well. You may have missed the memo but you do know that I'm gay, right?
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 17:51:53  

*tilts her head to the side* Are you telling me that you've never actually been with a woman?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 17:53:07  

*falls silent and looks away*
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 17:55:05  

*frowns as she thinks about this*

Wait. If you've never been with a woman --- what about --?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 17:56:01  

*still looks away*

*weakly* He's still my son. He doesn't need to know anything else.
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 17:59:34  

*breathes out slowly* Oh, 'káno.

*reaches out and guides your face towards hers* I guess I had you figured wrong. You are one of the good guys. *kisses your lips very gently*
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 18:03:08  

*walks by, taking Finrod home*

*sees a nice couple kissing*

Oh, look, it's my brother kissing a woman.

*stops walking* *stares*

*to Finrod* Is that my brother kissing a woman.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 18:03:58  

*stares too* Yeah. That's your brother kissing a woman.

*delicately clears her throat*
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 18:06:20  

*eventually looks up at the pair of you*

*has no clue who either of you are, only that you're staring in a rather disconcerting way*
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 18:07:20  

*gradually becomes aware that the kissing has stopped*

*looks up*

Turvo?
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 18:08:59  

*smiles and waves*

*is oh so smug, yes*

*brightly* Having a good day, 'káno?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 18:11:43  

*opens and closes his mouth*

I don't believe you've met Russandol since she returned, have you, Turukáno?
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 18:13:51  

No, in fact, I haven't!

*smiles down at Maedhros like a pariah*

*takes her hand and kisses it* It's really wonderful to see you again. Really wonderful.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 18:15:42  

*has managed, with great effort, not to laugh*

*whispers in your ear* Maedhros? But... she's a girl.
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 18:17:18  

*puts his lips to your ear* So are you, in case you haven't noticed. Now just enjoy Fingon's discomfort!
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 18:15:54  

*looks up at you curiously* You don't look alike. *looks at Fingon* *looks at you again* No, I definitely picked the good-looking one, didn't I?
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 18:18:12  

Well. I never liked redheads. *nods towards Fingon* He always liked boys.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 18:21:00  

*daringly rests his chin on top of Maedhros' head (what a novelty!)* No. You never did like boys, did you? Aren't you going to introduce us to your lady-friend?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 18:26:13  

*winces a little bit at the fresh reminder of old wounds*

*doesn't give Turgon time to reply*

You don't remember your own cousin, Fingon? I'm hurt. *smiles at Maedhros* I'm your cousin too. Findaráto. But definitely Finrod in Delving.
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 18:27:59  

It's always nice to meet family. *smiles at you genuinely*
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 18:30:48  

*grins* Don't let these two bother you. They've always been trouble. You get used to it. Or you abandon them in a mine shaft and hope they don't find their way out. Mostly you just get used to it.
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 18:32:40  

*laughs*

*bravely* Perhaps we should ditch 'em sometime and go and do girly things together.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 18:35:00  

I'd like that. I'd like that a lot. You guys are the first family I've seen since I got here. Besides Thingol, I guess, if I really want to count him. Oh, and my teenaged amnesiac mother. *smiles* Life sure is interesting!
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 18:39:54  

Wow, it sounds like a real laugh a minute here.

I really hope that I'll start to remember stuff on my own soon because I feel like I'm at a disadvantage or something.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 18:42:42  

*nods* I'm sure you will soon enough. Though it's probably better this way. In the meantime stick with us and we'll help you out.
From: [info]maidros Date: 03/03/2007 18:52:25  

Thank you. Really. I -- I hope to see you soon.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 18:54:24  

You will. I promise.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 18:29:26  

*stands up* Findaráto. It's great to see you again. *glances at Turgon* I hope you're keeping Turvo in line? Because it's more than the rest of us can manage.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 18:32:45  

*shakes her head and grins* That's not my job, Findekáno. Your brother, your problem. I have plenty of trouble of my own... well, I guess I don't have any brothers to look after anymore. Yet, at least.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 18:37:39  

Ye-es, but he seems more pliable with you about. *shrugs* I don't know why.

*raises an eyebrow* Have you heard that any of your brothers are returning?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 18:39:06  

Nooo, not as such. But my mother is expecting. *shrugs* So who knows. *delicately leaves out the detail that her father is not the father of the baby*
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 18:39:46  

....Yeah. About that. I think Fingon has something he wants to tell you about that.

*grins at his brother!*
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 03/03/2007 18:41:16  

*covers his forehead with his hand* Oh, Eru. I'd forgotten about that.

Uhm, Findaráto? I -- recently discoverd that -- that -- my son is -- well -- he's the -- the -- father.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 18:44:34  

...

...

*sits down* Well. That's one question answered.

*laughs* I'm sure it could be worse. Somehow. Certainly.
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 18:45:10  

Yeah, well, let's get you home, huh?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 18:45:56  

*nods* Right. That's probably a good idea.

*to Fingon* It was good to see you again, Findekáno.
