*comes into the bedroom after double-checking to make sure her little houseguest is sleeping comfortably, the poor dear*

*takes one look at you*

*can't help but laugh a little* Turgon? What on Órë are you doing?

*doesn't stop his motion*

*casually* Bashing my head in before that little shit has a chance to do it himself.

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/09/2007 19:53:28

*smiles a little and comes over to you*

*puts her hands on your shoulders and tugs you back from the wall towards her*

Come on. He's not that bad. He's just a little kid who needs some guidance.

	From: thewise	Date: 03/09/2007 19:54:35

*reluctantly moves back from the wall and turns towards you*

*laughs a little crazily* Not that bad? Do you know what you're talking about? Do you know who you're talking about?

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/09/2007 19:56:47

*runs a soothing hand across your head and down the side of your face*

He's your nephew. Your sister's son. I'm sure he did some bad things in his time, but this is a new start. You have to give him a chance. *looks at you teasingly* We can't keep carrying old grudges, hmm?

	From: thewise	Date: 03/09/2007 19:59:22

*laughs a little less crazily*

*puts hands on both sides of your face and kisses your forehead*

You're sweet, you know. Maybe a little too sweet sometimes, but that's what I like about you. Part of what I like about you.

*drops his hands and walks around distractedly* But I don't think you get it this time. Do you even know what he did?

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/09/2007 20:03:56

*bites her lower lip* I know. I read about it. I wanted to know what happened to you.

*feels really small next to you again* Turgon, you can't just assume the worst of him right off, though. If you let him know you expect nothing good to come from him then he won't have any reason to show you otherwise. Everyone deserves another chance.

*goes over and plops down on the bed*

*hangs his head*

Stop being so sensible -- you're killing my righteous anger.

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/09/2007 20:16:43

*gets on the bed behind you and starts rubbing your shoulders*

*giggles a bit* Iiiiii'm riiiiiight and youuuuuu know iiiiiiit.

	From: thewise	Date: 03/09/2007 20:22:45

*scoffs* Right? Right. That's like wrong by your family's crazy standards, right?

*turns his head towards you and gives you a wink* *no smile, though, you're going to have to earn the smile*

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/09/2007 20:25:21

*matches your scoff* Wrong. *sighs dramatically* Poor, poor Turgon, with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

*lets her arms drape over your shoulders to your chest and leans against you. and against you. and against you. until most of her body weight is on your back*

	From: thewise	Date: 03/09/2007 20:28:04

*reaches his arm out behind him and slaps your bottom*

Down girl! *yes, smiles*

*leans back all the way until you're laying on the bed* *frees himself from your arms and stretches out next to you*

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/09/2007 20:31:26

*shrieks and then laughs*

*waits for you to settle then shifts so she her head's resting on her stomach*

*stretches her arms up in the air and then lets them fall so that one lands on your face* *doesn't bother moving it*

	From: thewise	Date: 03/09/2007 20:33:57

*splutters and bats your hand away*

*rests one of his arms across your abdomen*

So what does Finrod the Wise think I should do about the juvenile delinquent in the next room?

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/09/2007 20:48:17

*glances over at you*

I think you mostly had the right idea. *chuckles* Mostly.

Take him to Aredhel in the morning. Let her handle him. Come back to me.

	From: thewise	Date: 03/09/2007 20:49:53

Sounds good to me.

*lays with you in comfortable silence for a long, long time*

*finally* We should probably get some sleep if we're going to deal with him in the morning?

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/09/2007 20:51:35

Yeah. *rolls off your stomach and pushes herself up with her arms*

*leans down to kiss you softly* I order you to bed.

	From: thewise	Date: 03/09/2007 20:53:50

*grins and rubs his hand up and down your arm*

For someone who doesn't put out you make going to bed sound so damn hot.

*lifts his head up to kiss you again*

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/09/2007 20:55:35

*tries to give you a disapproving look up fails and ends up laughing*

Well. Maybe you're just hearing things wrong. *sticks her tongue out at you and gets up to go to the bathroom*

	From: thewise	Date: 03/09/2007 20:57:04

*watches you walk out and chuckles*

For some reason I'm starting to doubt that.

*strips down to his boxers and slides under the covers*

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/09/2007 20:58:53

*comes back from the bathroom in a long t-shirt*

*turns the lights out and slides into bed next to you*

Cover hog.

*scoots over and rests her head in the crook of your arm*

	From: thewise	Date: 03/09/2007 21:00:13

*rolls his eyes and kisses the top of your head*

Goodnight, Finrod.

*closes his eyes and smiles to himself*

	From: artafinde	Date: 03/09/2007 21:01:09

*curls against you and closes her eyes*

Night, Turgon.

*drifts off to sleep*
