*is sitting in the cafe by the palace, enjoying new-found healthfulness and a smoothie*

*thinking*

*sees you and waves*

*strolls over your way casually*

*casuallyokay?*

Hey you. Feeling better?

	From: luthiekins	Date: 03/04/2007 14:18:12

*beams* Much better, thank you! Daddy said you came to see me while I was sick. He seemed to think it was really sweet. *quickly* It was really sweet. Thank you.

Are you going somewhere or can you sit down?

	From: ingoldo	Date: 03/04/2007 14:22:15

*smiles brilliantly* I'm so glad to hear it. Yeah, we had lunch. I was a little intimidated at first but he was actually very nice. For some reason I'd expected somebody really scary. *chuckles*

*appears to think this over but doesn't actually* Oh, I can sit for a minute. *does so* *rests his chin on his hand* I'd actually found this book I thought you might like. But I don't have it with me now, unfortunately.

	From: luthiekins	Date: 03/04/2007 14:26:46

*giggles* Not many people meet my father and come away thinking he's nice. I'm impressed.

*pleased!* A book? That's too bad. Maybe you can bring it over some other time. What book was it?

	From: ingoldo	Date: 03/04/2007 14:34:00

*shrugs* I guess I try to find the best in everyone? *bites his lip* But seriously. Not that bad. *winks*

It's called the Lay of Leithian and it's all about you. Have you gotten to that one yet? It's naturally quite lovely poetry. *a bit shyly* I'd be happy to bring it by again sometime.

	From: luthiekins	Date: 03/04/2007 14:37:01

I try to find the best in everyone

*smiles* More people should do that.

*blushes* A whole lay all about me? I can't imagine it's terribly interesting. But I would like to read it. Thank you.

	From: ingoldo	Date: 03/04/2007 14:42:19

*can't help but find you very...something...when you blush. what's the right word? modest? spiritual?*

*clears his throat* I just thought it might help with the memory issues. The Beren and Lúthien story is really quite thrilling.

	From: luthiekins	Date: 03/04/2007 14:44:40

*sexy?*

The Beren and Lúthien story

*chokes on her drink*

*starts coughing*

*finally manages to clear her throat* I'lllookforwardtoreadingit.

	From: ingoldo	Date: 03/04/2007 14:47:32

*yes NO*

*frowns* Are you all right? Oh dear. Did I say something you hadn't remembered yet?

	From: luthiekins	Date: 03/04/2007 14:50:13

*flushes* No, no, you're fine! I just swallowed wrong. Don't worry about me.

*tries to think of a non-Beren-related subject*

How's your missionthingy going? Any luck?

	From: ingoldo	Date: 03/04/2007 14:57:43

*looks discouraged* It seems like fewer and fewer people show any interest in Eru these days. I'm sure it's my own failing. *sighs* As I remember more of my past, I find myself losing patience with people. I worry about things like administrative efficiency and tell myself people will never stop fighting. *smiles wryly* A holdover from my brothers I suspect.

	From: luthiekins	Date: 03/04/2007 15:02:51

*frowns* You shouldn't blame yourself. People take time. Memories take time to handle. You're doing a great job! Perseverence is the key. *smiles* And I'm sure you give great sermon.

Have you been remembering more things, then?

	From: ingoldo	Date: 03/04/2007 15:06:22

*laughs softly* Now you're just being nice. But I appreciate it. Thank you.

*nods* Really random things, though. The curtains in my office were green. I love peanut butter. Stuff like that.

	From: luthiekins	Date: 03/04/2007 15:11:02

*smiles gently* Just because I'm being nice doesn't mean it's not true. So there.

*laughs* That's an interesting combination there. I definitely don't remember what color my curtains were. But I think that's less memory issues and more me.

*thinks* Any specific people? My mom mentioned a few weeks ago that my cousin Finrod was in town. I didn't know he had come back. Though he's apparently a she now. I'm surprised she hasn't come to see you.

	From: ingoldo	Date: 03/04/2007 15:16:22

*grins* Touché.

*lightly* Well, as long as you get the important details back, that's what matters, right?

*doesn't say anything for a long moment* *obviously perturbed* I have no idea how I'm supposed to handle that. I mean, I never planned on being anybody's father, exactly. At all. Maybe Findaráto will understand the situation if I explain as much to him? Her? :s

	From: luthiekins	Date: 03/04/2007 15:19:16

*looks uncomfortable* I don't know? He was always very understanding before? And handy in a wolf-pit. I'm sure she'll be fine. If she hasn't come by yet, it's probably for a reason. She is still your son, though. Er. Daughter. *can't even begin to imagine how horrible it would have been if her Daddy hadn't wanted to be her Daddy :o*

	From: ingoldo	Date: 03/04/2007 15:22:07

*doesn't seem convinced* I need to find her, though. We have to at least discuss the problem out in the open. This sort of thing has to have happened before, right? Maybe?

	From: luthiekins	Date: 03/04/2007 15:24:57

*nods* Of course, I'm sure it has. She'll understand once you explain it. *isn't sure at all, actually*

At any rate, you can at least be friends. It's always nice to have new friends

	From: ingoldo	Date: 03/04/2007 15:28:32

*getting more distracted by the minute* Sure. *stands abruptly* Maybe she's not busy right now?

*glances back at you with a warm, apologetic smile* Give me a call and let me know when you're free and I'll bring that book by, okay?

	From: luthiekins	Date: 03/04/2007 15:30:49

*gives you a little smile* I will. Good luck.

*goes back to her drinking and thinking*

*has a new thought*

...*goes home to lie down*
