*is loitering in the main reception, wondering if either of her brothers or either of their cousin-girlfriends are actually going to appear today*

*catches sight of you* *frowns* Cúthalion? Did you leave something behind the other day? You could have just phoned, you know.

	From: belthronding	Date: 03/06/2007 13:47:13

Phoned? I-- *shifts from foot to foot* I think I'm expected, actually? Thingol appointed me as Delving's Ambassador to Hithlum?

	From: irisse	Date: 03/06/2007 14:42:40

Ambassador? No one said anything to me Findekáno about an Ambassador! *feels quite aggrieved* This is highly irregular.

	From: belthronding	Date: 03/06/2007 15:10:38

*clutches her (army issue) bag in front of her* Well, I'm sure Thingol only meant to continue the open and transparent relationship between our two states?

	From: irisse	Date: 03/06/2007 15:30:30

*holds up a hand* OK, stop it right there, Cúthalion. Seriously? Your diplomatic crap's not going to cut it with me. *indicates to a servant to relieve you of your rather raggedy-looking bag*

*hops down the stairs two at a time looking insufferably cheerful*

*stops short when she sees Beleg*

I... know you? *pauses* Beleg!!

	From: thewise	Date: 03/06/2007 16:16:33

*follows you, carrying an overnight bag*

*takes one look at his sister*

*holds up a hand* Not a fucking word, Írissë.

	From: irisse	Date: 03/06/2007 16:22:47

*raises both eyebrows and mimes an elaborate zipping motion across her lips*

*--*

*can't control it* Turvo! What the fuck? Now both of my brothers are cousin-fuckers, what the fuck?

	From: thewise	Date: 03/06/2007 16:46:07

*opens his mouth to retort*

*sees the 'be nice' look Finrod is giving him*

*moves his jaw around for a minute*

I have nothing to say to that.

	From: irisse	Date: 03/06/2007 16:51:17

*loftily* I shall take your silence as admission of guilt. *laughs*

*pokes you in the arm* Thingol just send us an Ambassador. *points at Beleg* She's another of these "was a guy, now a girl" girls. She'll get on brilliantly with all our new girly cousins.

	From: thewise	Date: 03/06/2007 16:55:33

*isn't actually going to admit that there's been no fucking at all because, damn, how pathetic does he want to look?*

*looks over at her and chuckles quietly* You mean Thingol's sent 'káno a spy, right? *rubs his hands together* This could be fuuuun. Shame I'm leaving for Delving in an hour. NOT A WORD.

	From: irisse	Date: 03/06/2007 17:31:59

Excellent. You can be our spy. Uh. Ambassador. Eru speed you on your way, Turvo, and remember to use protection. I don't want any bastard, inbred nephews or nieces in the near-future, do you hear?

	From: thewise	Date: 03/06/2007 17:34:39

I'll keep that in mind, Írissë. *pats you patronizingly on the head* Try not to scare off the spy too fast. She could be fun. Try and see if you can make 'káno twitch. I always like it when he twitches!

	From: irisse	Date: 03/06/2007 17:41:19

I'll send you the CCTV footage, if you're good.

Oh, you should totally bring Gil-galad with you. He should be in Delving if that's where his kid's going to be born. We definitely don't want Olwë getting his claws on the baby before it can defend itself.

	From: thewise	Date: 03/06/2007 17:49:22

You are an excellent sister. Don't let 'káno tell you any different.

bring Gil-galad with you

No! No no no no no No No. Not a chance! He wants to see the kid, he can get his ass down there himself. It's a touchy subject and all, y'know. *motions towards Finrod* Plus I'm only going to be gone for a few days. Who knows how long it'll take til she pops? So no.

	From: skilledhero	Date: 03/06/2007 17:52:07

*emerges from his office, looking distinctly dazed*

*frowns* What is all this racket, Turvo?

	From: thewise	Date: 03/06/2007 17:54:54

Just on my way out! I know you'll miss me and all, but try not to cry too much.

*motions* Thingol sent you a spy. I mean ambassador. He sent you an ambassador.

	From: skilledhero	Date: 03/06/2007 18:32:08

*politely, but entirely insincerely* Such a shame you couldn't stay longer.

*turns around and sees Beleg* Cúthalion. I'm surprised Thingol can spare you.

*whispers in Turgon's ear* Should I be alarmed that Thingol has sent a trained sniper as a spy -- sorry -- ambassador?

	From: thewise	Date: 03/06/2007 18:35:24

*slaps you on the back* Don't worry, only going to Delving for a few days! I'll be back soon enough.

*shrugs* I'd be more worried about her stabbing you in your sleep, truth be told. *grins!*

	From: skilledhero	Date: 03/06/2007 18:38:12

*swears softly under his breath*

Well, no need to hurry back. I'm sure we'll survive the deprivation of your company.

*looks away, a little embarrassedly* I doubt Nelyafinwë would allow it.

	From: thewise	Date: 03/06/2007 18:40:04

*raises his eyebrows*

Ooh ooh hoo hoo!! Now I'll definitely hurry back. Don't have too much fun without me around to mock you for it.

	From: belthronding	Date: 03/06/2007 16:34:45

*stares at you before realising that she's staring*

I know you? I do know you. Hang on a moment.

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/06/2007 16:48:01

Finrod! I knew you on Arda. You were a boy then. *laughs* So was I!!

	From: belthronding	Date: 03/06/2007 17:33:42

Finrod! Oh, wow, I wouldn't have recognised you!

*grins* How are you finding the girl-thing?

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/06/2007 17:36:08

Well, it's been a long time. And I have boobs now.

*tilts her head to the side in thought* Actually? Pretty awesome. *smiles*

	From: belthronding	Date: 03/06/2007 17:38:11

It really is, isn't it? *smiles faintly too*

Although my job still throws up the same shit as ever before. *eyeroll* I think I'm better at multitasking though.

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/06/2007 17:46:27

*snickers* Truth be told, I think I'm better at a lot of things. Who'd have thought?
