*finds himself back in Delving, this time as part of work*

*sits through an impossibly dull meeting at the newspaper's HQ until it is too late to return home that night*

*books himself into a hotel before he makes his way to the Palace* *assumes it's not a quarantine zone?*

*asks if there is anyone at home from the Royal Family available to receive him*

*is told you're here and rushes comes out to see you*

Elmo. *breaks into a smile* It's been some time now, hasn't it?
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 10:43:16  

*smiles warmly* Hello, Melian. I can only apologise. I've been by a few times but never quite managed to see you.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 10:45:03  

No apology necessary. *wraps her arms around you* I missed you.

*steps back* Come into the den and sit by the fire. It's freezing out there!
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 10:50:59  

I missed you two.

*follows you into the den* How's Lúthien?
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 10:57:19  

*leads you in and shuts the door to keep the nosy staff out*

*pours herself a drink* Do you want anything?

How's Lúthien?

Much better. She slept most of the day, which was surprising, but now she's out for a walk with her father. I think we're in the clear. I can't tell you what a relief that is.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 11:03:34  

*waves a hand* No, I'm good, thanks.

*smiles with relief* Good, I'm glad she's better. I was worried about her. And about you and Elu, of course.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 11:05:39  

*sits down with her drink*

Elwë and I manage to not kill each other. Rather, we're the ones who should be worried about you. *looks at you closely* How are you doing? Really?
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 11:26:30  

*is honestly surprised* Why on Órë should you be worried about me?
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 12:02:17  

*shrugs* You've had a lot on your plate. Celeborn and Galadhon and work. I We just worry.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 12:16:17  

*smiles* Well, I guess it doesn't feel like a lot. They're my family, you know. My boys.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 12:20:19  

Of course they are. You love them. Just as long as you remember to take time away from looking after them to look after yourself too.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 12:26:54  

*shrugs* I'll do my best, my sister, but it is no burden to take care of them. I'm sure you know how I feel on that front? *laughs softly* Although looking after my brother must be a full-time job. *grins*
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 12:34:25  

*smiles* Of course.

looking after my brother must be a full-time job.

*laughs* That might be an understatement. *smiles softly* Though I wouldn't have it any other way.

He has been quite a handful since Beren returned, though. It's getting harder to stay one step ahead.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 12:36:31  

Oh, yes. I'd heard about that. How is Beren? He is still alive, isn't he?
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 12:41:30  

*chuckles* He's alive, but barely. That was a close one. Right now he's hiding living in the woods. I think he is doing well enough, but Lúthien has been... resistant, we'll say, and the separation has not done much for his morale.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 12:51:14  

*dryly* And I daresay that my brother is not arranging any opportunities for them to meet and catch up?
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 12:55:01  

I think you understand your brother fairly well. *shakes her head* He's going to be sorely disappointed when he realizes he can't control it. From what I can tell, he's trying to marry her off to a priest right now. *laughs* Oh, at least it never gets boring.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 13:01:14  

*splutters* A priest? I suppose that's one way of approaching things.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 13:03:13  

Oh, not just any priest. Finarfin. Eärwen's former husband. Apparently those two just aren't getting along these days.

*as an afterthought* Did you know she is pregnant?
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 13:11:23  

*looks at you with surprise* Pregnant? Our little niece who's still a teenager is pregnant?
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 13:16:16  

*nods* Yes, and Olwë is... disturbingly excited about it all. I'd like to think he's just being a caring father but. *laughs softly* Well, I've met Olwë.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 13:43:45  

*sighs heavily* Perhaps -- perhaps I should go and see them both. Make sure the girl's OK and all.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 13:50:41  

That would probably be nice. *frowns at the look on your face* But don't worry about it too much. You don't need the extra stress.
From: [info]elm0 Date: 03/04/2007 13:58:35  

It's not stress if it's family, right? *offers you a smile* Actually, just thinking about it? I could murder a cup of tea right now.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/05/2007 12:27:31  

*smiles softly* That's what I keep telling myself.

*looks up* Oh, of course. I'm a terrible host. Just a moment. *orders some tea straightaway*
