*is this close to tearing out her hair* *got no sleep after Gil-galad left because Galadriel was cranky all night long*

*goes out into Delving at the ungodly hour of eleven o'clock in the morning, feeling like utter crap*

*walks wistfully past Larry's before going down the street to an outdoor coffee shop*

Current Mood: cranky

*goes to the hotel to see you and finds you've already gone out for the day*

*heads to the coffee shop and takes a seat across from you*

*fakely chipperly* Morning!
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/14/2007 16:27:29  

*tries to smile but then looks up and meets your eyes*

*in a very uncharacteristically maternal tone of voice* Whatever is the matter, Findaráto?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/14/2007 16:30:23  

*immediately directs her eyes away from yours*

Nothing, nothing at all. I'm great, why shouldn't I be great? *clears her throat* I didn't sleep well, that's all. You look tired. What are you having?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/14/2007 16:38:00  

I didn't sleep well either. Galadriel's been cranky ever since her father came to see her.

*sighs* Hot chocolate. Please. Are you sure you're great?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/14/2007 16:40:46  

*looks up* Her father came? That's... promising, I suppose. How did it go.

Are you sure you're great

*gives you a half-hearted but encouraging smile* I'm fine. Ish.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/14/2007 16:54:13  

*dully* He was very nice and gentle and seemed kind. *looks distinctly underwhelmed* It didn't seem fair, though. That he should -- it didn't seem right. He wasn't even there when she was born.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/14/2007 17:11:38  

*gently* He's still her father, though. If he wants to play a role in her life that's surprising wonderful. You should encourage him, even if it seems hard at first. Think about how much you love your own father without reason.

Besides. You did name her after him. *smiles a teensy bit*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/14/2007 17:21:15  

You did name her after him.

*vaguely* It was strange. He said he knew someone called Galadriel.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/14/2007 17:37:54  

*raises her eyebrows* Ah, yes, he would have mentioned that. There was someone called Galadriel. A long time ago. From what I hear, she and Gil-galad were close. She was a good person so it's a good name to have.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/14/2007 17:40:34  

*nods and looks over at the baby* This is the first time she's slept since yesterday. I might be exagerating a little.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/14/2007 17:42:16  

*looks at her sleeping so sweetly and peacefully and innocently*

*thinks she couldn't possibly be that much trouble* If you want, I could take her for a while. Let you get some sleep or have a little fun. You shouldn't try to do all of this on your own.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/14/2007 17:49:27  

*stares at you*

Really? You'd look after her? Even for an hour?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/14/2007 17:52:10  

*laughs at the look on your face*

Of course I would! An hour, a few hours, an entire day. Whatever you want. She's my little sister. I have a lot of free time these days.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/15/2007 07:40:50  

*smiles* I'm -- I'm happy she has a big sister. I'm happy it's you.

*suddenly blushes unhappily* I wish I could remember you all.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/15/2007 14:30:00  

*wishes that too, ome*

*gently* You will, someday. Don't worry about it too much. But please hurry up because I need to cry on my mommy's shoulder so badly right now.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/15/2007 14:42:39  

Your father remembers. Doesn't he?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/15/2007 14:45:12  

*nods slowly* He does. He doesn't remember everything, but he remembers most of it. But he's much older than you. You need time to remember.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/15/2007 14:49:13  

Sometimes -- sometimes I think I know why I'd have married him. He seems -- nice. Or something? But I don't know why anyone he would marry me.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/15/2007 14:53:50  

I think... I think that you'll understand someday. Maybe it's hard now to see? But you loved each other very much. People... *chokes a little on her words* people love each other for all different reasons.

*covers her face with a hand to hide the tears* Sorry... I just.... sorry.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/15/2007 14:59:19  

*covers her mouth with her hand* Oh, Findaráto.

*gets up and goes around to your side of the table* *puts her arms around your shoulders* Oh, my poor baby boy.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/15/2007 15:02:51  

*immediately hides his her face against your shoulder like he she has done so often before*

*clings to you and cries for a while*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/15/2007 15:07:49  

*rubs your back gently* *closes her eyes and tries not to think why this should seem so familiar and so strange at the same time*

What has happened?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/15/2007 15:09:34  

*stops her crying and sniffles a bit* Turgon. He. I. I mean. Elenwë.

*realizes that nothing she's saying will make any sense to you*

Boys are stupid.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/15/2007 15:13:26  

*understands that much at least* They really are.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/15/2007 15:15:42  

*can't help but laugh at that*

*slowly wipes her eyes*

Thank you.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/15/2007 15:19:55  

*quietly and a little woozily at the familiarity of her own words* I think It's what I'm here for. Now, do I need to send your father to look reproachfully at some boy?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/15/2007 15:21:59  

*smiles a little bit* *likes the feeling of having a mother again* No, I don't think that's necessary maybe. I'll bounce back in no time.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 04/15/2007 17:55:27  

But if I can help, even if I don't know how? Tell me.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/16/2007 10:18:19  

I will, I promise.

*wipes her eyes one last time before remembering something* Oh! Thingol wants you and Galadriel to move into the palace. I think you should take him up on the offer. There will be more space and more help. It would be good to have a home, don't you think?
