*sends a message to his his uncle letting him know of a specific time and a specific place early next week where he will board a helicopter to begin his magical journey to Beautiful Gondolin*

*that done, sits at his desk staring at the phone*

*twirls a pencil in his hand* *refrains from snapping said pencil*

*gets up and locks the door to his office*

*sits back down and stares at the phone some more*

*takes a deep breath and presses the right speed dial button before he can change his mind*

*answers the phone (because she doesn't recognize your office number as being you)*

*cheerily* Hello?

*CHEERILY* Hello? Is anyone there?
From: [info]thewise Date: 04/18/2007 10:49:49  

*finally manages to squeak out a reply*

You sound happy?. PLEASEDON'THANGUP!
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/18/2007 10:50:56  

*takes a deep breath*

*flatly* Turukáno.

*takes another deep breath and grips the phone tightly* Is there something I can help you with?
From: [info]thewise Date: 04/18/2007 11:13:09  

*rattles off the monodialogue he practiced earlier*

*lightly* Actually, yeah, see I lost this person? My best friend? I don't know if you've seen her. She's about average height, slim, goldeny sort of hair, sort of cute. She might hiss if you say the name 'Turgon' but otherwise she's pretty pleasant. Always smiling. Thing is, I need to get her to be my friend again and I can't do that while she's not talking to me, so could you pass the message along?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/18/2007 11:15:28  

*presses her lips into a tight line* Funny. Cute. Sorry, no, I can't help you. Thank you for calling!

*moves to hang up*
From: [info]thewise Date: 04/18/2007 11:16:19  

*quickly* Please, Finrod, I miss you so much. I just want to be your friend again.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/18/2007 11:17:54  

*barely breaths* *doesn't say anything for fear of saying what she feels which is that she misses you too*

Finrod? Are you still there?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/18/2007 11:20:17  

*clears her throat* Yeah. Yes. I am.

*pauses again*

I really don't know what you want me to say, Turgon? That everything's okay? That I forgive you? That I'm willing to go back to the way things were before just because it's what you want? I can't say any of those things because they're not true. Everything's not okay, I don't forgive you, and things can't be like they were before. So this is pointless.
From: [info]thewise Date: 04/18/2007 11:34:56  

*frowns*

*sighs* Yeah, I had kind of hoped you'd say all those things.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/18/2007 12:37:55  

Well, then, you're about as stupid as I thought.

*snicker*
From: [info]thewise Date: 04/18/2007 12:38:56  

*actually smiles for real*

What can I say? I'm rubber and you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/18/2007 12:40:38  

*covers her mouth to silence her laugh*

Oh, that's just pathetic.

*is quiet for a moment* I can't do this, Turgon. I'm sorry, but I can't. Not now. Maybe not ever.
From: [info]thewise Date: 04/18/2007 12:42:27  

*stops smiling* Why not? Please explain to me since I'm obviously too stupid to understand. You want to be my friend. You were my friend for ages and ages and Ages. Why does it have to be different now just because I fucked up again we had a little bust up? I know I've made you mad plenty of times before.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/18/2007 12:44:50  

*a little flustered* Well, maybe I'm just not as nice as I used to be! I don't know. I really don't know.

Turgon. I... Thinking about you right now makes my stomach tie in knots and I feel like I'm going to be sick. A lot of things changed over the past few weeks and I can't just forget them and go back and I don't know that I want to. Just understand that. If you really are my friend you'd understand that. Leave me alone.
From: [info]thewise Date: 04/18/2007 12:46:16  

*shortly* Fine. If that's what you want. If that's what you really want, I won't bother you ever again. I guess a lot of things have changed. Like you.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/18/2007 12:47:03  

Don't try to make this about me. It's about what you did. What you're still doing, I guess. I don't know. It's not about me, though, I know that much.
From: [info]thewise Date: 04/18/2007 12:49:09  

It is about you. It's about you because if you were who I think you are, who you used to be, you wouldn't hold grudges and you wouldn't be doing this just because I screwed up. I'm sorry. I am so sorry. I can't do anything but say that over and over and over again, and I'll say it as often as you want me to. The old Finrod wouldn't make me, though. *angrily* I guess it's just a girl thing.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 04/18/2007 12:50:25  

*doesn't want you to realize how right you are and how much she knows it*

*coldly* Goodbye, Turukáno. Enjoy your wife. Have a nice life.

*hangs up quickly before you can respond*
From: [info]thewise Date: 04/18/2007 12:54:21  

*hears the phone click but doesn't hang up until long after the dial tone kicks in*

*stands up and starts bouncing his thinking ball off the wall over and over and over and over and over and over and over again*

*discreetly wipes his eye*
