*goes to check on Nienor and finds her missing*

*panics for a minute, trying to figure out what to do next*

*discovers that in bending all his concentration on her whereabouts, he's suddenly able to see...well, everything, pretty much*

*quickly locates her talking animatedly to Mablung and breathes a sigh of relief, convinced she's probably better off away from him at the moment anyway* *will deal with Mablung later*

*gets caught up in the rediscovery of this phenomenal new power for untold hours before his sight happens upon Finduilas*

*snaps himself out of his trance and heads over to hers, resolved to sort out some of the things he does have control over*

[Edit] *actually could use someone to talk to*

*opts for wisdom and zen and mom, ome and tries not to think about best friends* *(you're really sad if you need a hyperlink on that last bit)*

Current Mood: indescribable

*opens the door and smiles when she sees you*

There you are. I was wondering if I'd ever get you alone again. Is everything all right? You look like you've seen a ghost.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 16:09:32  

*nods slowly* There are just...a lot of things, you know?

*follows you inside* I think I can see anything.
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 03/04/2007 16:15:51  

*takes your hand and sits you down*

*worriedly lightly* You're talking crazy talk again, Túrin. Tea is the answer.

*goes to take the kettle off the stove*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 16:17:01  

*watches you somberly*

I'm sorry. I'm just a little overwhelmed. I need to simplify.
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 03/04/2007 16:25:04  

*brings over two cups of tea and curls up close to you on the couch*

*rubs your arm soothingly* Simplify what, honey?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 16:28:41  

*leans forward, elbows on knees*

My life. There are too many unknowns and free radicals.

*sighs*
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 03/04/2007 16:36:14  

*massages your shoulders gently*

*scolding* Well of course there are. You still think you have to save the world.

*isn't sure she likes where this conversation is headed*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 16:38:25  

*moves slightly away from you*

*turns his head to look you in the eye*

I'm in no state to be in a relationship, Finduilas.
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 03/04/2007 16:43:44  

*feels tears pricking at the corners of her eyes and her heart being crushed in her chest*

*angrily* A fine time to decide something like this, Túrin. You wait until I...I...

fall in love with you all over again
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 16:54:11  

*dismally* You think I planned this? That I don't enjoy being with you, or that it was some sort of game?

I waited? Until what, Fin??
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 03/04/2007 17:00:05  

*blurts out* UntilIgotpregnant. WHAT?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 17:00:48  

WHAT?
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 03/04/2007 17:02:45  

0_o

*morosely* You heard me?. Ulp.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 17:07:30  

*icon*

*twitch*
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 03/04/2007 17:10:37  

*her tears brimming over* And yes I was on the pill but accidents can happen as I demonstrated just now and yes I'm sure it's as yours as it is anyone's and we both know you were thinking it even though I know you'd never stoop to asking.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 17:21:51  

I was thinking of asking, actually.

*without taking any time to cool off and think things through* So... I guess I should...we...shit. Doyouwanttogetmarried?
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 03/04/2007 17:30:06  

*didn't realize she was counting on you asking until you actually asked*

NO.



I don't know.




Maybe? Yes?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 17:35:25  

*somehow didn't know he would ask until he actually did*

Pardon?
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 03/04/2007 17:44:49  

*hugs herself*

*quietly* It's an insane idea. But I don't know, is it? We get on so well and...I pretty much love you and...I love you.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 17:54:10  

I love you

*somehow didn't know...anything, possibly*

*squeezes your hand, deflated* It'll work out. Don't worry. *gives you a smile*
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 03/04/2007 18:01:50  

*guesses it's way too late to try and take everything back now, huh?* :s

*way, way guiltily* Why don't you go out and get some fresh recirculated air? You look like you could use it and I'm sorry understand if you want to be alone. I'm sorry know how you like to be alone sometimes.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 18:07:44  

*none too steadily* That might be a good idea.

*stands and lets you lead him to the door* *kisses your cheek*

*leaves while he still has the strength to take it like a man*

*damn that fucking honor shit*
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 18:31:02  

*is sitting by herself in the den, staring into the fire and worrying about things she can't possibly control*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 18:36:09  

*comes in quietly and sinks into what he doesn't even realize is an exact replica of what was his favorite armchair*

*follows your gaze* You're right. That looks pretty grim.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 18:42:31  

*turns around when she hears your voice*

Oh, Túrin. I didn't hear you come in, I'm sorry.

*comes over to sit near you* How are you...?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 18:47:34  

Top marks in stealth. *crooked smile* Mortal, nothing.

*is surprised at his own calm* Okay, I guess. Getting married apparently.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 18:51:07  

*fondly* Oh, I don't think you ever let a little thing like mortality slow you down.

Getting married

Oh? *raises an eyebrow (or six)* Congratulations I guess. I hadn't even realized you were seeing anyone?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 18:56:08  

*flat-out grins at that*

Uh-huh. Finduilas. Orodreth's daughter? From Nargothrond? *drums his fingers on the arm of his chair*

*is aware there's something about the verbal explanation that even sounds unsatisfactory*
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 18:59:52  

Yes, I've heard of her. *coughs delicately* She's a distant relative, you know, one of Olwë's descendants.

Well, this is all very exciting. I hope you'll put off the wedding for a bit to allow proper time for planning. You shouldn't have kept her from us for this long. *is so very, very confused*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 19:04:18  

*distractedly* Somehow I tend to forget everyone's related to everyone else around here.

You shouldn't have kept her from us for this long.

*shrugs* We haven't really been together that long. Or officially, even? It was all sort of-- *feels a stab of plain old Second Wave fear* --sudden oh eru.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 19:07:49  

*watches your face* Túrin? *takes your hand in her own* Are you all right, darling? You don't have to go through with it can slow down. Take a few steps back and think about it. If you've only just met there's no reason to....


Oh.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 19:13:47  

*clutches your hand tightly*

*offers you a terrified brave smile that dies roughly two seconds later* Yeah. So...

Yeah.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 19:18:06  

Oh, Túrin. Are you sure it's yours. *nods slowly* I suppose you've done the right thing, but... *trails off*

*gets up and calls for tea*

*comes back to sit next to you and gently pets the top of your head*

It's very noble of you to offer to marry her but if it's not what you really want than you're better off not. If you're unhappy there's no way you would be able to make her happy.

*looks straight at you* Do you love her?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 19:22:58  

the right thing

You can say it. I'm a schmuck. *rests his head on your shoulder*

Do you love her?

*without the slightest hesitation* No. But maybe...I don't know. Maybe I could? Someday? Maybe? *glumly* It's obvious to non-morons she loves me a lot.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 19:26:12  

*kisses the top of your head* You can't make yourself love someone, darling. I'm afraid that if you force yourself into this situation you may end up regretting it and resenting her. Or she may resent you. For any decision this big you need time. Perhaps just... offer to be there for her now. Take care of her. If there's love there, it will find a way. Otherwise, all you can do is support her and love the child.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 19:34:33  

*graspingly* I do like her. Clearly. I mean, she has a lot of wonderful qualities and we were always friends. That always helps, right? Being friends, too?

you need time

*closes his eyes* I know. You're right. But Mom, what kind of asshole withdraws a fucking marriage proposal?
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 19:38:08  

Being friends is important, yes. Key, even. But it takes more than friendship.

what kind of asshole withdraws a fucking marriage proposal

The sort of person who is man enough to realize he's made a mistake that could cause more harm than good. Just tell her you want to slow down a bit, but that you'll still be there for her. If she really loves you, she'll understand.
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 03/04/2007 19:44:33  

*wanders in in time to hear part of this conversation*

Who's getting married now? *eyes Túrin suspiciously*

*claps him on the shoulder* Oh, well done, boy! Who's the lucky girl?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 19:46:30  

*blinks*

*automatically* Finduilas? *confused* But wait. No. I mean...probably not? I think Melian's right about slowing things down for a while, you know?
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 03/04/2007 19:47:31  

*mildly* Oh, right. The prostitute.

Why should you need to slow things down? Have they sped up? Have they-

Oh.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 19:50:37  

*slumps lower in his seat*

Yeah.

*just drinks his tea. TEA, DAMMIT.*
From: [info]sindacollo Date: 03/04/2007 19:58:48  

*claps his hands together and rubs them rather like a mad scientist might*

Good. So. Engagement party. *looks at you pointedly* Also, army.

*walks away*

*has another thought and turns back* Army, please.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 20:00:49  

*looks at Túrin after you've gone* We'll hold off on the engagement party for now, yes? You can ignore him.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 20:04:46  

*facepalms*

Yes-that-would-be-wonderful-thank-you.

You can ignore him.

A man tries, you know? But he makes it ever so difficult.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 20:07:45  

*laughs* I know. Believe me, if anyone knows, I do.

*pats your hand* It will all work out in the end, Túrin. You'll see. Just give it time.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 20:21:55  

*nods* I'll talk to Fin. And even if getting married does end up being the best way to fix things, well, I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

*hears himself and can't help laughing* *sheepishly* I like her a bit more than that. I swear I do.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/04/2007 20:25:32  

*smiles* Of course you do. You've had a hard day, that's all.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/04/2007 22:12:31  

*reluctantly pulls himself up out of his chair*

I should go back and talk to her. Before she starts calling caterers or something.

*leans down to give you a kiss* You okay? You looked a little out of it when I came in.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/05/2007 09:17:15  

Oh, I'm fine. Just thinking. Something I do too often, perhaps.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/05/2007 09:31:58  

Don't stop, whatever you do. Most of The rest of us rely on all that, you know.
From: [info]queenmelly Date: 03/05/2007 09:33:41  

*smiles* I promise. Now, go see your lady-friend.
