*takes Galadriel out for a walk, given how nice the fake-weather in Delving is today*

*feels really quite OK until she starts noticing the looks she's getting* What? What? No, she's not my baby sister. She's my daughter! Never seen a teenage mom before?!

Current Mood: cheerful

*is out shopping for a warm(er) jacket to take to Gondolin*

*is sort of childishly giddy about his upcoming helicopter ride, yes*

*sees you walking and sniping and can't help feeling a bit sorry for you*

*waves*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/06/2007 12:07:50  

*sees you and actually manages to break into a smile*

Hi. *stops and calls across* Thanks for the card. It was very religious pretty.
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/06/2007 12:49:09  

*walks over*

*nods* *pleased that you seemed pleased* It was the least I could do.

How are you feeling? *peeking around the baby's blanket* And little...Galadriel? How is she?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/06/2007 13:03:10  

*happily* She's well! I think she's well, anyway. She cries sometimes but now? I think I know when she's crying because she's hungry or when she's dirty or when she just wants me.
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/06/2007 13:14:52  

*strokes Galadriel's cheek lightly with a finger* I'm shocked glad it's coming back to you so quickly.

*points down the block toward a nearby café* Would you like to get some tea or drugs or something?

*thinks things are bound to feel less awkward if he makes a real effort*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/06/2007 13:51:23  

*almost shyly* I think I'd like some hot chocolate. Even though it's probably too warm for a hot drink, I can always drink hot chocolate.
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/06/2007 15:35:45  

Right you are.

*walks with you* So you've seen Findaráto lately? She was thrilled to hear the news.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/06/2007 15:58:06  

I haven't seen her very, very recently. I've just been so busy with Galadriel. *reaches into the pram and touches Galadriel's hair lightly*

*after a moment*

*politely* How have you been?
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/06/2007 16:04:51  

*puts his hands in his pockets* *lightly* Oh, fine. I'm fine. Turukáno came by the other day. It was so good to see him.

*wonders how much information you're privy to and/or interested in at the moment* *truthfully* He and Findaráto are still fast friends.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/06/2007 16:16:34  

*screws up her face as she tries to remember who Turukáno is* *bites her lip worriedly* I can't-- I can't see his face.

*a bit embarrassedly* Who is he?
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/07/2007 08:48:28  

*finds a table in the café*

Oh, um...he's Ñolo's second? *cannot help recalling his last meaningful conversation with you* He and Findaráto were very close back in Aman.

*sees your embarrassment* *offers* I didn't recognize him. I'd read about him and remembered a few things but... *shrugs* He was very understanding.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/07/2007 13:36:10  

*vaguely* So he's nothing like Nolo, then? Or, at least, he's nice to Findaráto so he must be OK?

*lifts Galadriel out of her pram and cradles her in her arms, careful not to wake her*
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/07/2007 15:06:04  

*becomes very interested in the floor all of a sudden* I hardly remember what my brothers are like. But he's a good man, yes.

*watches you with interest as you tend to the baby* *thinks he's never seen anything so tiny or helpless in his life*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/07/2007 15:18:31  

My brothers mean well except they cause a lot of trouble. And maybe they don't really mean well but they look after me, anyway.

*coos over Galadriel for a while longer before looking up at you*

*mock-tartly* Where is my hot chocolate? Or-- *places Galadriel in your arms* There. Don't drop her, and I'll go up to order us hot drinks. You are having tea, yes?
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/07/2007 15:25:55  

*has heard about as much about your brothers as he'd like to, really* Yes, I...I guess that's something.

*finds a baby suddenly thrust upon him* Um...um. Yes, tea, please. Um? *holds her about as well as you'd expect...from a former father of five?* *so pretty well, strangely enough*

*looks down at Galadriel warily* Hi there, little girl. I'm Aro.

*...*

Nice weather we're having?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/07/2007 15:45:19  

*comes back in a few minutes with drinks*

You didn't drop her! Well done. *puts the drinks on the table and reaches for her baby*
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/07/2007 15:50:41  

*looks slightly put out* Did you expect me to? *hands her over pretty quickly though*

*nods his thanks* This must all be pretty overwhelming for you. How are you holding up?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/07/2007 16:08:36  

*smiles at you* I'm doing OK. I-- better than I thought I would, anyway. I don't really like living in the hotel, although I thought it'd be great? Room service and all of that?
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/07/2007 16:14:41  

*sips his tea* We get homesick more quickly than we realize, I think. A hotel's always going to feel like a hotel, I'd think you know? Living out of a suitcase and all that.

*diplomatically* It's not the most comfortable...environment, anyway.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/07/2007 17:11:35  

*sips his chocolate, not really taking her eyes of Galadriel* I don't know where I'd like to live when I grow up. I think I'd like somewhere by the sea. I like the sea.
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/07/2007 17:30:52  

*smiles* I remember the sea. I think it would be hard to forget.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/08/2007 08:02:04  

Daddy took me on a scheme holiday there a few years ago. It's really pretty. I know-- I know I must have known it from before but I don't remember.
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/08/2007 09:35:05  

*thoughtfully* So you don't remember anything about Alqualondë? What about Tirion? *trying out the words* Tirion was so beautiful.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/08/2007 09:40:23  

Sometimes I think I do. At least, I've had dreams? Of fountains and stone floors and pipe music and fresh, fresh air? And even though it's not what I want, it's what I think I wanted? Or something? *softly* I'm no good with words.
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/08/2007 09:56:53  

*pushes his cup away an inch or two*

*suddenly sad* It doesn't matter. *smiles despite having made his lives out of words* I should probably be getting home.

*looks at the baby* I'm glad you're both doing so well.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/08/2007 10:20:31  

*looks down at Galadriel again* Thank you. For everything. Really.
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/08/2007 10:34:04  

*nods*

*reaches over and touches the baby's tiny fingers* Bye now, Galadriel. *has a hard time getting the name out* Take care of your mother.
From: [info]nerwende Date: 04/08/2007 10:41:16  

*grasps onto your finger tightly*
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 04/08/2007 10:50:24  

*finds tears pricking behind his eyes for some absurd reason*

*manages to extract his finger after a moment*

*stands and inclines his head to your mother* Ladies.

*leaves*
