*arrives, carrying a tray of takeaway coffees* I got a phone call from Aredhel. Maeglin's been located. *is not remotely affronted that he was at Larry's and she looked in Larry's an everything, thank you, Mablung*

And I put out a call and a guy matching Gil-galad's description was seen asleep in one of the city's parks. They're directing him this way now.

*offers you one of the paper cups* Coffee? I know it's not as good as Margaret's but still--

*takes a cup of coffee gladly* I don't think coffee like Margaret's exists anywhere else on Órë.

Thank you, Cúthalion. I'm not sure how you got mixed up in all of this but I do appreciate it. I hope you got some sleep last night?

	From: belthronding	Date: 04/16/2007 17:37:55

I hope you got some sleep last night?

Very little. Oh, yes. I stayed with a friend. *after a moment* Tell me, do you know Lady Morwen?

	From: skilledhero	Date: 04/16/2007 17:45:51

Morwen? Oh, yes. *blows on his coffee to cool it down a bit* A formidable lady, from what I recall. I read about what became of them all and, of course, you would know better than most how tragic the whole affair was. *sighs, a little troubled* Not that I can talk of tragedy, of course; I never lived long enough to see the whole sorry tale unfold. *completely fails to see the irony in his words*

	From: belthronding	Date: 04/16/2007 18:10:44

*shrugs and sits up onto the bonnet next to you*

*brightly* Well, those times are long over now although Morwen is still a formidable lady, certainly. I like to think we've learned from our mistakes.

	From: skilledhero	Date: 04/16/2007 18:23:54

Oh, I don't know. I'm sure I feel doomed to making the same mistakes over and over again. At least when it comes to my own family, at any rate.

*looks around* Why else would I find myself in Delving, waiting by the car?

	From: belthronding	Date: 04/16/2007 18:28:14

*laughs* That's a terribly pessimistic way of looking at it. It's a lovely day to wait by the car, wouldn't you say?

	From: finellach	Date: 04/16/2007 18:42:21

*walks along the street towards you both*

*calls out* Hey, Dad, I didn't leave the car with you so you could pick up women. Oh, hi, Cúthalion. Hey, is that coffee for me?

	From: skilledhero	Date: 04/16/2007 19:04:17

*is surprised at how relieved he is to see you* You cheeky bugger. I'm not sure you deserve one of the coffees the Ambassador so kindly bought.

*slings an arm around your shoulders* Never run off like that again, do you hear?

	From: finellach	Date: 04/16/2007 19:20:56

I'm sorry, Dad. I think -- I guess I just needed to think. And a park in Delving seemed like the ideal location?

*snorts* I can't believe she called her Galadriel.

	From: skilledhero	Date: 04/17/2007 06:29:26

Next time you need to think, please let me know in advance so that I can at least hide from your aunt book into a hotel? Instead of sleeping in a car outside it?

*shakes his head* Take it as a compliment and just hope to Eru that when Artanis comes back, she's not too pissed off about it.

	From: finellach	Date: 04/17/2007 07:28:09

Oh, you didn't--? I am sorry. Eru. The King of the Noldor sleeping in a car.

*bites his lip* If Galadriel I kicks my ass over it, I'll remember this moment fondly, Dad. It'll be up to you to tell Galadriel II that her old dad's not that bad.

	From: skilledhero	Date: 04/17/2007 07:47:05

I've had worse, honestly.

*laughs* I promise you most solemnly that I will. *sips his coffee and looks down the road* I vote for giving Írissë and Lómion five more minutes and if they don't show up, we're putting the top down and getting the hell out of here, OK?

	From: finellach	Date: 04/17/2007 11:02:30

I second that motion even if I'm far too preoccupied with the notion of multiple Galadriels. *shudders a little*

	From: irisse	Date: 04/17/2007 11:25:03

*about ten minutes later, walks up the street with her son trudging behind her*

Are we ready for the off, then? Oh, coffee, how marvellous.

	From: belthronding	Date: 04/17/2007 12:04:40

*a bit apologetically* It might be cold now. *takes a look at the size of the car and deduces that it might not be big enough to contain four Noldorin egoes and a Wood Elf*

How about I catch the train back to Hithlum? I mean, to save on space?

	From: skilledhero	Date: 04/17/2007 12:13:19

That mightn't be a bad idea. That's right, Cúthalion, SAVE YOURSELF. We'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning? I think the rest of us have a few things to discuss en famille. *looks at Aredhel, Gil-galad and Maeglin*

*brightly* Isn't that right?

	From: finellach	Date: 04/17/2007 12:15:59

*siiighs*

	From: maeglinlomion	Date: 04/17/2007 12:17:02

*wrinkles his nose*

	From: irisse	Date: 04/17/2007 12:17:40

	From: belthronding	Date: 04/17/2007 12:31:02

*cheerfully* Okay, then! I'll see you all tomorrow. Have a nice trip!

*walks off before anyone can say anything to change her mind*
