*pretty much goes straight to Delving*

*makes an inquiry at the Census Bureau and finds out where Finrod works*

*spends the rest of the day wandering up and down the streets trying to decide if he should go see him. er... her?*

*finally ends up pacing outside her office as the fake sun is going down*

*takes a deep breath and walks in*

*is the only one left in the office, as usual*

*hears footsteps and pauses in her typing*

*sees your reflection in her computer screen*

*swallows hard and resumes typing as if you're not there*

*watches you for a while quietly, not sure what to say*

*really isn't even sure if it is you*

*takes a few steps towards you* Finrod?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 15:24:24  

*finds that her hands are shaking too much to continue typing*

*puts them in her lap*

*doesn't turn around*

Hello. *tries to think of something else to say that isn't ridiculously mean and fails*
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 15:26:46  

*almost with relief* It is you.

*takes a few more steps so he's standing right behind you* I would have... I would have come to see you earlier but I just found out that you were here today.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 15:30:48  

*finds herself saying the words without thinking*

You mean you just found out today that I was a girl. That's it, right, Turgon? *coldly* I'm a girl so I'm fuckable now, right?

*finally turns around to face you* Well it's too damn late, okay?
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 15:41:49  

*stares down at you* ...*thinks you look very small*

That's not fair, Finrod, and you know it. I said I didn't find out until today. I didn't find out until today. That you were here or that you were a girl. Don't call me a liar.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 15:43:46  

*feels very small* *stands up and moves back from you a bit*

What should I call you then? How about coward? Does that suit better? *laughs* Maybe you didn't really find out until today, but I'm certain that's because you made no effort to find out at all.
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 15:48:58  

*actually really didn't want to get angry, but is*

I guess you're right, huh? Maybe I am a coward. Maybe I didn't make an effort. Honestly, though, what did you expect? How did you expect me to act?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 15:54:03  

*turns her face away from you*

Act like my friend? That's what I was expecting. That's all I was expecting.

*wipes her eyes* *somewhat bitterly* But, no, you just disappeared into the night and were never heard from again. I was worried about you. No one heard from you for ages. I thought something terrible had happened. Then I have to hear from your brother.

*looks at you, clearly hurt* Couldn't even bother with a postcard, Turgon? "Gondolin's lovely, glad you're not here"?
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 15:58:20  

*looks back at you*

*helplessly* I didn't know what to do. I--you just really threw me. I handled it badly, okay, I'm sorry. Just after I was gone I didn't know how to make it right again. I didn't really know if I wanted to make it right again.

I never stopped missing you.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 16:07:15  

I didn't really know if I wanted to make it right again.

That's just it then, isn't it? I kiss you and your response is to go away and never speak to me ever again. *coldly* I'd hate to see what you do to people who actually harm you.

*throws his hands up and runs them through his hair*

*practically shouts* I wasn't gay!!

...*does realize that's not the best arguement to be making at the moment*
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 16:12:38  

*does shout* NEITHER WAS I!!! *feels herself start crying* I WASN'T, SURPRISE SURPRISE, BUT THAT DIDN'T MATTER. I LOVED YOU AND IT DIDN'T MATTER, BOY OR GIRL OR ANYTHING.

If you didn't feel the same way -- since you didn't feel the same way -- you should have just said so. I would have been happy just having you around. Instead I was punished for taking a chance.
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 16:31:49  

You were my best friend. *pauses and shakes his head* You are my best friend. I wasn't trying to punish you; I would never do that.

*shrugs* I was stupid. I apologize. That's all I can do. I can't change things.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 16:34:58  

*wipes her eyes again* *drat these girly hormones*

*laughs a little shakily* No idea why they called you 'the wise'. Someone must have lied to them.
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 16:36:35  

*smiles a little* That's probably it, yeah. A mass publicity scandal and everything. I be Aredhel started it. She always does.

*looks at you a little hopefully and opens his arms* Come here, you?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 16:43:17  

*shifts her weight from foot to foot for a moment before giving in and wrapping her arms around you*

*holds on tight and rests her head against your chest, breathing in your scent*
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 16:45:30  

*practically beams*

*holds you close and places a gentle kiss on your head*

Let's never fight again, yeah?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 16:46:54  

*grins and looks up at you*

Just don't go running off on me again and we'll see about it.
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 16:47:54  

*cocks his head to one side* Oh, I don't know about that. Seems like you did pretty good without me. Maybe I'm slowing you down.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 16:50:39  

*rolls her eyes* Right, right. I let a bunch of Fëanor's kids take over my kingdom and then I got myself eaten by a wolf *is sort of amazed she can joke about it like that* *it must be your influence* I was doing just great.
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 17:04:42  

*frowns a little at that but thinks it's something to talk about at another time*

Yeah, you're right. You're lost without me. *grins down at you* You're awful short these days too.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 17:05:28  

*gasps playfully and squeezes your side*

Coming from the fat boy I'll take that as a complement.
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 17:11:11  

*gives you a baleful look*

Just because I'll never be as pretty as you doesn't mean you need to tease.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 17:12:29  

*turns a little red and tries to hide her face*

*can't help but smile, though*

*muffled against your shirt* You can't just come in here and turn on the charm and think everything'll be like it was.
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 17:15:07  

I... *delicately* I don't want everything to be like it was. Finrod, I want... *trails off* *isn't sure what to say*
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 17:23:24  

*stops you before you can go any further with a pound to the chest* No. No. Please no.

*breathes heavily* It's been a long day and I honestly just don't think I can take anymore. Please not now.
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 17:25:28  

*nods* Sure. *can't help but feel a little... broken? disappointed?*

*holds you tighter and rests his head on yours* Can I walk you home at least?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/03/2007 17:29:05  

*smiles widely* I think I can handle that.

*finally moves back from you* Just let me get my stuff.

*shoves her things into her bag and grabs a piece of paper with an address on it*

*comes back over to you after putting her coat on* Okay.
From: [info]thewise Date: 03/03/2007 17:30:30  

*just smiles*

*offers his hand*

*leads you out and then lets you lead him*
