*walks out of a department store, clutching a coffee and looking distinctly preoccupied.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 15:03:35  

*smiles and waves when she sees you*

Aredhel!! Hi! I heard you were in town.
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/30/2007 15:17:00  

*looks up* Oh, Findaráto. *smiles warmly* Actually, I'm here to see you. Mislaying my son is just an unfortunate side-effect.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 15:21:42  

*frowns* Maeglin? You lost your son? Oh, dear. Turgon seemed to think he needed constant supervision. *smiles kindly* I'm sure that's just Turgon, though.

When was the last time you saw him? Maybe I can help you find him. You said you were here to see me?
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/30/2007 15:25:02  

Well, Lómion and Turvo never did get on terribly well although I won't deny that my son can be a bit of a handful. Between you and me, I think he's having difficult adjusting.

*shakes her head* I'm sure he found his way back to the hotel. I start making phone calls. *blinks* Oh, oh yes. My brother - my other brother - wanted to invite you to Hísilómë, actually, on business.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 15:29:42  

Of course, I'm sure he's fine. Kids his age are into having big adventures anyway.

*looks surprised* Fingon? Wanted to see me? Whatever for?
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/30/2007 15:38:05  

*comfortably* And he does have considerably more freedom this time round. He's probably making the most of it.

*shrugs* Yeah. He didn't quite tell me why but 'káno is so very particular about doing things properly.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 15:42:09  

*sagely* With great power freedom comes great responsibility.

Oh. That's... interesting? *curiously* I wonder what he wants. And why he couldn't just call. Did he say when he wanted me to come?
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/30/2007 15:56:02  

*laughs softly* I wonder if he understands the meaning of the word.

If you could come back with me now, it might be best? I've got the jet at the airstrip here and the flight is so very short. You'd be back in Delving by nightfall.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 15:58:28  

*thinks for a moment* I guess that would be all right. I don't want to be gone very long. *happily* My mother just had a baby. I like to stay nearby in case they need me at all. My grandfather's worthless.
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/30/2007 16:04:01  

Marvellous, I'll just ring ahead to--

She had her baby? Oh, Eru. I don't think 'káno knows, or Gil-galad.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 16:08:04  

*beams* Yes! A little girl. She's so beautiful. *pauses* I guess I hadn't thought about Gil-galad. I'm sure she meant to let him know. It's only been a few days now. She's just getting settled at home with the baby. I can talk to Gil-galad while I'm in Hithlum and maybe even bring him back here?

*goes with you towards the airstrip*
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/30/2007 16:18:54  

That mightn't be a bad idea. He's a little -- upset -- at the moment. His girlfriend broke up with him. A bit of responsibility (there's that word again) may do him some good.

From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 16:23:47  

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Losing someone you care about is never easy. Hopefully Galadriel will be a welcome distraction.


That's her name. My mother named her after Gil-galad...
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/30/2007 16:28:02  

*covers her mouth with her hand* Galadriel? Oh my.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 16:30:20  

*scratches her head* Yeeees. I know. I think it's just a coincidence. She doesn't know... Nerwen...
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/30/2007 16:35:33  

That could be interesting in the future.

*flips open her phone and calls ahead to the airfield* *phones her hotel too, to learn that Maeglin somehow found his way back there* *arranges a taxi to bring him to the airfield*

By the way, I meant to thank you for putting Lómion up before. It was very kind of you.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 16:39:33  

Tell me about it...

*sits quietly as you make your phone calls, enjoying the taxi ride*

Oh, it was no problem at all. He's a sweet boy, just a bit misguided. The stains came right out with a little soap and water!
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/30/2007 16:43:35  

Stains? Oh dear. Was he ill? He's been a bit poorly recently, I have to say.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 16:45:34  

Well, yes, when we first found him he was... well... he was on something? Drugs? And he was ill overnight. I'm sure he's doing better now, though, away from all that temptation.
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/30/2007 17:22:46  

*turns to look at you* I'm sorry -- did you say -- d-drugs? Drugs?!
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 17:27:39  

*suddenly feels very uncomfortable* Yes? Sorry... I don't really know. That's what Turgon said and it's sort of how it looked to me too. He said something about pills and amphetimines. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... I mean. I thought you knew?
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/30/2007 17:38:01  

*is silent for a long time*

I should have known -- I should have seen -- oh god I'm a bad mother
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/30/2007 17:40:55  

*puts a gentle hand on your shoulder*

*concerned* Hey, it's not your fault. He's only just gotten here, there was no way for you to know. You were just happy to see your son again. The fact that you care is more important than the fact you didn't notice. Now you can help him.
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/31/2007 15:18:32  

*rubs her forehead* Help him? Right now, I want to give out shit to him for being so stupid.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/31/2007 15:38:20  

Well, that might be one way to help him. Let him know that what he does matters to you. Maybe that will do him some good. Rules and boundaries. Unless he's a rebel, which he probably is.
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/31/2007 15:48:52  

*smiles thinly* He was never terribly good with rules but he'll have to learn sooner or later.

*gets out of the taxi at the airstrip and is promptly informed that her son has already arrived and is on the plane*
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/31/2007 15:53:40  

*nods firmly* That's the spirit! He can get past this if you just help him.

Right then, let's go. *heads for the plane*
From: [info]maeglinlomion Date: 03/31/2007 16:07:01  

*has been strapped into his seat by some kind soul*

*is snoring gently*
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/31/2007 16:15:57  

*smiles and takes a seat on the other side of the plane*

*quietly* I think he'll be fine.
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/31/2007 16:18:20  

*looks at him and smiles tenderly* Well, he always looks harmless innocent when he's asleep.

*buckles her seatbelt and looks out the window*
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/31/2007 16:20:56  

*stares out the window wistfully*

*misses her baby sister all ready*

*and her brothers, come to think of it* *they were sort of sweet (when they were asleep) too*

*is surprised how quickly they get to Hithlum*
From: [info]irisse Date: 03/31/2007 16:56:43  

*shrugs* Told you it wouldn't take too long. *grins*
