*is drawn to your familiar aura like the proverbial moth*

You are so totally fired, Marchwarden.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 16:46:20  

*still asleep*

But I'm not on duty, fool. Besides, you know I'd wake up if anyone came near.

*--*

Am I still asleep? Am I dreaming? This is very rude, Túrin. I'm trying to rest here, you know.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 16:57:20  

If this is your dream, you really need to get out more.

I'd leave you alone but...I might very well just end up right where I started. *clearly not at all sorry* Sorry. It's all very tricky.

What day is today?
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 17:04:42  

Saturday. Everyone in Delving is sleeping off the party-related hangover. Except for me, of course. I'm just sleeping.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 17:14:23  

*recalls this as though digging up some ancient memory*

Ah. *with an air of general observation* That was fairly fucking disastrous, wasn't it?

*thinks of something else* *quickly brushes that thought aside*
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 17:25:23  

*bluntly (because this is a dream, right?)* Better to get out now and have some space, Túrin. I couldn't let her hurt you, you know.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 17:32:58  

*mental!shrug* Still, I have a feeling my brain won't be terribly pleased.

Have you seen it lately? My body, I mean, not my brain necessarily. *amusedly* That'd be a trip.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 17:36:35  

*amusedly* You say the strangest things. Fancy imagining you have a brain, hm? And I saw your body when I tucked you in. You conked out pretty fast. Must have been all that emotion champagne.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 17:49:12  

Nobody asked you, Cúthalion. *playfully* Your insults are no good when I can see your mind. It feels like autumn...

I saw your body when I tucked you in.

Mm. I remember that well enough. But then I kinda lost it. That's why I'm here in your head, you know. Normally I'd have the decency to ask your permission.

It's pretty nice here, actually. Maybe I'll hang out awhile.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 17:56:10  

Autumn? That's a bit sad, don't you think? It means the leaves are falling. I'm not sure I like that.

*stretches out in her sleep* Is there room for two of us in here? No, I think I prefer talking to you when I can see you. Otherwise, I just seem like a crazy woman.

*matter-of-factly* And if I could only talk to you when I'm asleep, why on Órë would I ever want to wake up?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 18:06:32  

*is sure it's quite impossible to express any of this to you in words* All the rest of the year, you forget the colors. You think you know them until you see them again. And the warm days are all the sweeter when they come.

Yes...um. Just a few kinks to work out. Toes are problematic, apparently. Who remembers their toes?

Oh, I can talk to you when you're awake. You'll just have to do all my fighting for me. *fills your dreams with the suggestion of smiles* Hm. This is sounding better and better.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 18:11:23  

*after a moment* I think I like that. Colours.

*smiles and murmurs sleepily* I remember your toes. They're long, you know. That's why you were able to run away from us so fast when we tried to persuade you that even eleven year old boys need to bathe occasionally.

*laughs a little* Don't I already fight for you, no?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 18:24:22  

*smugly* See? I know things. Listen and learn, my friend. Listen. and. learn.

You Quendi never change, do you? With your superiority and your vast knowledge and your bathing...

*radiates amusement* Oh, no. She's onto me and my master plan.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 18:32:58  

I do hope that's not going to be your mantra from now on. I'm not sure I could cope with the underlying air of smugness.

*grins and curls up a little* I'm always on to you. I'd have thought you'd have known that by now.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 18:41:40  

I'm disappointed in you. What else was Mablung for but to prepare you for my insufferable pride? The man seems positively humble in comparison.

*suddenly sees you very clearly, all curled up peacefully in the grass* *reaches out to touch you and is startled to see it's his actual hand that's doing it*

*examines his arm and notices an ancient battle scar running along it, some subconscious but apparently deep-rooted familiarity* *is not a vain man but sighs a little nonetheless as he thinks of all the others*

*props himself up on his elbow and looks down at you* It could be worse, I suppose.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 18:46:50  

*opens her eyes and smiles at you sleepily, yet radiantly* How long have you been here?

*sits up a little and stretches* Mmm, I just had the strangest dream.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 18:54:08  

*strokes your cheek with his thumb lightly* Just got here.

*lays back with his hands behind his head* *stretches his legs experimentally* Did you now. *matter-of-factly* It's springtime already.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 18:57:19  

*blinks, surprised that she's not more surprised*

*props herself up on one elbow and looks down at you* The leaves haven't started to fall, then?

*places a palm on your chest, splaying out her fingers* Are you all in order? Fingers and toes all present and correct?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 19:07:29  

*is pretty thoroughly convinced by now that you don't hate him, at least*

*covers your hand with his but looks away from you* *smiles* Not out here.

Are you all in order?

Shit. I'd better see, huh? *wiggles his toes* How many were there supposed to be, again?

*pushes up his sleeve to show you his arm* Some of it's wrong. Or...old or...whatever. *shrugs, not inordinately bothered*
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 19:11:59  

ow many were there supposed to be, again?

Ten, honey. *playfully* You still have problems with counting to double figures, huh?

*leans across your chest to examine your arm, resting much of her weight on you* Huh. *skates her fingers over the scar* I don't think I know this one.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 19:21:26  

*laughs airily* Like you said. You were always there to do the hard work for me.

Nargothrond? I think? *casually* That's nothing. You should see my back. From when I was captured.

*lets his arm settle around your waist comfortably*
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 19:25:43  

Do you choose to keep the scars?

*smiles suddenly and pats your cheek* Do you choose to keep the stubble? *mischievously* I think I understand. It's all an attempt to appear more manly, isn't it?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 19:37:42  

*amusedly* Oh, yes. Because mutilation is ever so attractive.

*clears his throat* On the subject of the stubble I have no comment.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 19:48:27  

*smiles and lays her head on your chest and listens to your heart beating* Hey, how you choose to assemble yourself is entirely up to you.

*after a moment* *with great feeling* Your heart still works.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 19:52:26  

*hugs you close* Not too bad for a first try, anyway.

*fails to take several breaths before remembering to start again* *with forced nonchalance* You sound so sure. You can tell that much from a heartbeat?
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 19:56:12  

You can tell that much from a heartbeat?

*raises her head and looks at you fearfully seriously* It's not just the heartbeat. *reaches down and clasps your fingertips lightly* It's your voice and your touch.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 20:10:33  

*swallows hard* *very softly* You're such an expert, huh? I'm so easily read?

*squeezes your hand*
From: [info]belthronding Date: 03/31/2007 20:24:01  

No. You're a fucking mystery, Túrin. I just know you.

*slowly raises herself so that she is looking down at you* *is dimly aware of her own heart pounding within her chest* *with wonder* I know you.

*leans down and kisses your lower lip*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 03/31/2007 22:34:48  

*tightens his arms around you* I know, Beleg. Beleg...

*thinks you must feel his own pulse racing at your touch* *doesn't dare to move another inch for fear that you'll somehow disappear*

*looks at you with steady, searching eyes*

*a breath, a whisper* ...I love you.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 02:31:55  

*allows a slow smile to spread across her face*

*quietly* I love you too. *dips her head again and rests her cheek against yours, breathing in and out slowly* So much.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 10:11:21  

*sighs quietly as a wave of relief tumbles over him* *has a hard time thinking straight, your nearness intoxicating him*

*reaches up and cups your face in his hands* *kisses you with all his longing* Am I dreaming?
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 13:02:38  

*whimpers against your lips and barely pulls back enough to speak coherently* You'd better not be but if you are? Don't even think about waking up.

*sighs again* Oh, I love you.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 13:11:21  

*turns onto his side, still holding you against him*

*caresses the skin at the small of your back, where your shirt's ridden up a little*

*looks at you for a long time* I think I was half in love before I even remembered how much I'd always loved you. *dazedly* Beleg. My dearest friend.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 13:23:07  

*smiles and hooks her leg up over your hip to be as close to you as possible*

*looks back at you* I'm not sure when I knew, I only know that it's true.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 13:28:11  

*kisses the tip of your nose and smiles* Can we stay here forever? Pretty please?

*doesn't voice his fears that things will look so much more complicated once reality descends again*
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 13:41:42  

I like the sound of that.

*strokes your cheek gently and looks at you adoringly*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 13:47:40  

*firmly* Good. It's settled.

*closes his eyes, memorizing the way your body fits against his*
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 13:54:44  

Mm, the only problem is that I did not bring enough food to last us both and the hunting is lean in this part of the woods.

*nestles closer to you, pressing her lips to your breastbone*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 14:05:11  

*wide-eyed* Are you trying to say we can't live on love?

*shivers a little at the feel of your lips* Besides. Fear for your survival will likely draw some really cool tricks out of me. If not...well. *shrugs* There's always the personals.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 14:11:00  

*muffles her laugh against your chest*

I have to say-- amazing as it was to have you in my head, I like the solid fact of you. *rests her hand on your forearm*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 14:19:03  

*moves his hand down to your hip* Of course you do. What with my manly scars and stubble and all.

*has a hard time wrapping his mind around just how incredibly good you feel* *murmuring lazily* You're marvelous. Like no one in the world.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 14:23:49  

That's it. All that masculinity.

*smiles against your chest* No one in the world but you thinks that. *moves a little to kiss your chin* How did we do this, Túrin? How is it that I can't think of anything but you?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 14:42:40  

*gently lifts your chin to meet your eyes* You're crazy if you believe that. You really are.

*shrugs almost imperceptibly* *simply* I know how it is for me. You're in my blood. You always have been. I'm not whole without you beside me.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 14:48:08  

*equally simply* Then I'll just have to stay beside you, won't I?

*gazes into your eyes* *vaguely* What was I saying?
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 15:01:50  

*laughs softly* Yes. *becomes more serious, his whisper more urgent* Yes.

What was I saying?

*his voice thick with desire* Yes. *touches his lips to yours*
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 15:11:16  

*sighs* Yes?

*kisses your mouth before busying herself with exploring your jawline with her lips*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 15:19:38  

*allows himself just a few tender moments before pull back slowly, afraid of giving in and losing himself completely when there are so many other things to worry about*

*still hates himself for saying the words* I should get back. I've been away too long, I think. *brushes a strand of hair off your cheek*
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 15:34:21  

*regretfully* I understand. I'm sure I should return to the city too. I am expected back in Hithlum in the next day or so.

*closes her eyes* *almost inaudibly* I don't want to go back. Not now.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 15:43:54  

*sighs* *rubs your back reassuringly* I don't want you to go, either. I'll come up to see you as soon as I can. *hesitantly* Assuming Nienor doesn't have another episode.

*fixes the idea of next seeing you firmly in his mind in an attempt to make parting with you now somehow easier*
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 16:04:01  

Call me or let me know. Always let me know if I can help you -- my love.

*finally manages to stand up* *reaches down a hand towards you*
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 16:13:00  

*privately thinks he has no intention of dumping any of that on you, if he can help it*

*takes your hand and pulls himself to his feet*

*gives you a friendly sort of hug and kiss (it's easier)* I'll think to you. *smiling faintly* Don't forget that I love you, now.
From: [info]belthronding Date: 04/01/2007 16:22:45  

*smiles up at you* Remember that I love you, now.
From: [info]gorthol Date: 04/01/2007 16:26:21  

*adoringly* Don't think I mind the reminders.

*concentrates hard for a moment*

*disappears from your arms*
