*picks up the phone fairly promptly* Hello, darling. Have you cleared your schedule for that one drink yet?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 13:21:13

*decides to skip the [lame] excuse* Note that I haven't specified the size of the drink.

Why, are you in town?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 13:27:28

I can be on the express train in half an hour. If you'll make it two drinks?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 13:31:00

*considers* *sighs a little* Fine. Two drinks. Meet me at the Rose at six o-clock?

*still has no immediate plans to specify the size of the drinks*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 13:37:55

*cheerfully!* Will do!

*doesn't actually bother with a bag and travels first-class to Delving*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 13:39:34

*mildly* All right. And Curufin? Please don't bring any of your brothers.

*goes home to change clothes eight times before heading downtown to meet you*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 13:43:47

*is sitting at the bar in the Rose when you arrive*

See? No brothers, sisters or relatives of any sort.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 13:46:41

*sits up next to you* *dryly* My god. And here I was sure you'd bring one or two just to be contrary.

*orders vodka on the rocks* Wait...sisters?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 13:52:45

*leans over and gives you a peck on the cheek* You look ravishing, darling.

*grins* Well, just the one. So far. That'd be Maedhros. Still, I haven't heard anything from Ambarussa yet, so who knows?

*turns to face you fully* Now. What's the problem?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 13:57:00

*eyeroll* So do you, dear.

*blinks* Maedhros is a girl? The storied, inimitable Maedhros Fëanorion? *snorts* Well, why not? All the rage these days, isn't it?

*concentrates on her drink* Who says there's a problem? *smiles very, very faintly* Besides the obvious, I mean.

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 14:07:10

*raises an eyebrow* Is it all the rage? Should I feel as though I'm missing out?

*shrugs one shoulder* Well, let's just put it this way. Never in my lives would I have been able to convince you to have two drinks with me without a fight. You don't have any fight today, Fin. What happened?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 14:14:06

*tight-lipped* Yeah. It is. I'm not sure what you're missing but it seems damned overrated to me.

*looks straight at you* *simply* The love of my lives dumped me for, apparently, someone approximately one-third as pretty as me. And if you laugh at my pain you'll be wearing that drink.

*downs her vodka and gestures to the bartender for the second*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 14:22:34

*looks straight back at you* The day I meet someone even one-third as pretty as you will be a day I won't forget. The man's an idiot.

*puts his hand over yours* Hey, hey. If you carry on at this rate, I'll be on the next train out of Delving 'cause our evening will be over.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 14:27:20

*laughs a little wildly* Look at you being all sweet and sensitive. I almost believe it.

*turns her hand over to touch her palm to yours* *looks close to tears all of a sudden* Yeah. His loss, right? *swallows her drink*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 14:32:26

*smiles* Yeah. He is an idiot. And it is his loss.

*closes his fingers around your wrist* *nods to the barman to keep the drinks coming* Heartbreak does not suit you. It never has.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 14:37:03

*takes another distracted sip* How would you know?

*decisively* But you're right. It doesn't. Sometimes it feels like I've spent my entire lives heartbroken, but I still can't get my head around the idea. *smiles almost amusedly* It's just not me.

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 14:44:19

*a bit smugly* I just know. I know you, Fin, and don't forget it.

*laughs quietly* It's not you and we are going to have to take steps to remedy it. In truth, I prefer it when you're throwing things at my head instead of sitting there, looking all tragic. *places a hand on your cheek briefly* Can I get you all riled up?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 14:49:49

*inches over to move away from you* *coolly* Keep talking like you know anything about me and you're well on your way.

*eyes you with half-hearted suspicion* What's your agenda, anyway? Why would you come all the way down here to have four two drinks with me?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 15:00:24

*laughs* There's my angry girl. You're always so alive when you're angry. And you're always so angry with me. Is it the way I look?

Why would you come all the way down here...?

*just shrugs* I'm a glutton for punishment?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 15:07:17

*suppresses an errant giggle* Now that you mention it? I think it is. You're so fucking...pretty innocent-looking. Is that how you swindle everyone? Get them to let their guard down with those big eyes?

*slips off her light jacket and drapes it over the stool next to her* Uh-huh. Sure. *considers complaining to management about the temperature in here* *it can't be the five vodkas*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 15:18:56

*laughs* Damn, my secret's out. Don't tell anyone or else I'll have to earn an honest living and I'm far too lazy to do that.

*reaches out and brushes a few strands of hair off your shoulder* What? Getting a bit hot under the collar? *carries on drinking, pretty much matching the pace you're setting*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 15:24:51

Everybody already knows! That's the weirdest thing about... *slaps your hand away* Stop it. Why do you always. *firmly* 's it; I'm going home.

*sits exactly where she is in complete silence for another minute before getting to her feet* Shhhhit. I haven't eaten all day. *laughs*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 15:41:19

*curiously* Weirdest thing about what?

*laughs too* Oh dear. I think you're completely drunk. *stands up and concentrates hard on not swaying* *offers you his arm with pronounced grandiosity* Shall we?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 15:44:25

We all know but somehow I'm still here. Drinking. With you. Drinking. Think I need a drink.

*lets go of the edge of the bar one hand at a time*

*gives you a dirty look and then takes your arm* 'm not. Shall we what?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 15:49:02

*laughs and slips an arm around your waist* We could dance? *sways a little with you* *drops a kiss on your neck* Or we could -- ? I don't know -- ? Dance?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 15:53:01

*groans* There's no music! *shivers a little* And you can't dance.

*sets her hands on your shoulders to steady herself, giggling* Can you?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 15:57:19

*indignantly* I can dance. A little.

*lets one hand drift down to rest at your lower back* Why? Don't you think I have the moves?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 16:40:39

*laughs harder* Oh, you've got the moves all right. Maybe a little drunk.

*clings to you unsteadily* *talks slowly so as not to mess up* Put on the moves to walk me home, will you?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 16:44:34

Just a little, huh?

*kind of gently* I can do that. *drops a kiss on the top of your head and secures your arm around his waist* I hope you've got food in your fridge. I've come a long way to enjoy your hostip-- hospital-- kindness.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 16:50:23

*really quite a lot tipsier than [she thinks] she's letting on* I've got mayonnaise. And wine and ketchup. And bread. And mayonnaise.

*stumble-walks outside* *looks around in dismay* Um. This is far. The baddest part--the worst part o' town's on th'other side of here. And then I'm on the'other side of that. And then up from that is...something.

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 16:55:33

*peers down the street* How about -- how about we take a cab? To a hotel? With room service?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 16:58:24

*absently* No-oooo, I'm not going to a hotel. Which hotel?

*takes off her shoes and carries them* Oh that's much better. *sighs happily*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 17:04:20

*points at a hotel down the street with five stars above its name* How about that one?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 17:10:40

*squints* We should take a cab. *brightly* I think I can see Finarfin's Home for Way- wear- war- No-good Atheists from here.

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 17:18:09

Finarfin? Like, like, Uncle Finarfin? Can we go say hello? 'Cause that would be awesome.

*nuzzles your ear* Can we, can we, can we?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 17:21:46

No, duh. Grandfather Finarfin. Gramps. We should take a cab. Huh? Yes! *cheerfully* Let's say hi!

*tightens her grip around your waist, sticking two of her fingers through one of your belt loops* *long-suffering sigh* Haven't we walked a long way already?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 17:34:37

But he's just -- he's just there.

*carries on nuzzling your ear and throat and shoulder and guides you towards Uncle Grandfather Finarfin's place and knocks loudly on the door* *stifles his laughter against your shoulder*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 17:37:56

*alternately shoves you away and pulls you closer* Ughyouaresuchanasshole. *pats your cheek and kisses the bottom of your chin*

*yawns* It's very late I think. We should take a cab. *folds her hands and waits at the door like she's going to start selling something*

	From: ingoldo	Date: 05/17/2007 17:41:28

*has just a little while ago come home from a rather confusing enlightening exhausting meeting*

*puzzled* Fin? What are you doing here so-- *looks at his watch* --seven o'clock? Oh. *blinks at your companion* Curvo?!

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 17:43:11

*bursts out laughing* Hi! We stopped by to say...ohshitIforgot.

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 17:46:41

*laughs too* Hi, Uncle Finarfin! *pauses to kiss Fin's cheek* How are you?

*to Fin* Why are we here again?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 17:48:36

*elbows you* We came to say...um. To say...that is, we...

*plaintively* Line? *collapses against you, giggling*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 17:49:46

*scratches his head before wrapping his arms around you firmly*

We came to say hello to Uncle Finarfin and-- and--

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 17:52:17

*turns in your arms and presses her hands to your cheeks*

*without looking at him* Hi, Uncle Finarfin.

*mildly* I totally love you right now.

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 17:55:14

*smiles brightly* *places a little kiss on your mouth* I totally love you too. We should totally get married. Before your dad can try to kick my ass.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 17:58:03

*handwaves* He doesn't know anything. But-!! I have the greatest idea! Let's get married!

*turning back to Finarfin* Oh my eru we're getting married? Are you going to marry us? *beams*

	From: ingoldo	Date: 05/17/2007 18:00:22

UM?!

*a little desperately* Why don't you two kids come inside for a few minutes? You can just hang out untilyousoberup or something. I can go buy some coffee?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 18:02:44

*grabs you by the front of the shirt with a surprisingly strong grip for a drunk man* But that's a few minutes you're taking off our wedding night, Uncle Finarfin, and that'd be bad. Really, very bad.

	From: ingoldo	Date: 05/17/2007 18:07:05

*squeak!*

*oh, sure, Fin. go for a really murderous one, why don't you?*

If-I-can-just-step-inside-I'll-get-a-blank-license? *brave smile*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 18:14:19

We'll step inside with you, won't we, Fin?

*slings a choke-hold friendly arm around your neck* Between you and me, I think my wife-to-be needs to sit down. We've had lots to drink this evening.

	From: ingoldo	Date: 05/17/2007 18:17:52

We've had lots to drink

You *COUGH* don't *gAsP* say.

*pulls at your arm to loosen your hold on his neck as best he can without actually fighting you*

*once inside* Fin? *points frantically* Second drawer in the desk over there? I like oxygen?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 18:19:22

*wobbles over to the desk*

*brings back several different forms and hands them all to you* *they're all written in the same odd, mushy-looking letters, after all*

	From: ingoldo	Date: 05/17/2007 18:21:32

*finds the correct one* Right. *motions for a pen and glowers at Curufin* If you don't mind?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 18:21:13

*pats you on the chest and sits down on the desk* Good man, good man!

	From: ingoldo	Date: 05/17/2007 18:23:07

*sits down hard in his chair*

*fills out all the appropriate fields, muttering thickly under his breath* Fine.

*finishes and looks at you, having lost all interest in trying to protect you two from yourselves* Well, then. Do you?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 18:25:33

*draws Fin into his arms* Mm, I do. *starts to kiss her*

	From: ingoldo	Date: 05/17/2007 18:27:20

*valiantly represses his gag reflex*

*looks at Fin and sighs* Do you? You don't have to. There are lots of pimps with guns living around here. I can go find some.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 18:28:37

*wraps her arms around Curufin's neck and kisses him back thoroughly (and graphically)*

*between moans* Yes!!

	From: ingoldo	Date: 05/17/2007 18:29:36

*hopefully* That's a "yes, you do"? Or a "yes" to the pimps with the guns?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 18:30:42

I do!

*to Curufin* Mmm...I love you so much.

	From: ingoldo	Date: 05/17/2007 18:35:37

Fine. You're married. Sign this. *hands you the license* You'll have to drop this off at the courthouse. Feel free to forget at any time or to stop down at the same office to go about getting an annulment.

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 18:36:37

Thanks, Uncle Finarfin. *takes Fin by the hand and kisses her again, very deeply* Eru, I love you. How is that?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 18:38:34

drop this off at the courthouse

*takes the license from Finarfin and signs it* We'll just *kiss* stick this in their *kisskiss* letterbox...um...thingie on our way home. Won't we, honey?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 18:44:17

*scrawls his signature across it* Sounds good, baby.

*somehow manages to make it out of Finarfin's office* *carries on kissing you as he goes out onto the street* Home?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 18:47:05

*breathlessly* Hotel? I only have ketchup.

*pushes her hands up the back of your shirt and moves her fingers over the muscles of your back and shoulders*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 18:52:50

Hotel. Champagne. Mrs Curufin. Ahahahaha.

*manages to guide you to the hotel up the street* *hands his credit card to the receptionist and demands the finest suite in the place*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 18:57:03

*giggling uncontrollably* Mrs. Curufin. Mr. Finduilas!

*pulls you toward the elevator* *presses up against you once inside* Oh, yes. This is a niiiiice rooooom, my darling husband.

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 19:02:04

*runs his hand down your back to cup your butt* *holds you against his body and kisses you leisurely*

*sweeps you up into his arms when the elevator stops at the penthouse* Gotta carry you over the threshold. Make it official-like. *opens the door of the room and carries you into a very luxurious suite of rooms*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 19:06:19

*threads her fingers through your hair and nibbles your neck and jawline*

*is set down* *presses a hand flat against your chest and stands on tiptoe to draw your earlobe between her teeth* *whispers* Let's save the champagne 'til later.

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 19:13:41

*breathlessly* OK. *glides his hands through your hair* Damn, you're beautiful.

*moves his head to kiss you while running his hands down from your shoulders to your breasts* So beautiful.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 19:20:04

*sighs with pleasure at the touch of your hands* I'm yours.

*pulls back from your lips long enough to tug your shirt over your head* *strokes your bared flesh, lightly pinching one nipple between her fingers*

*eagerly explores your mouth with her tongue* I'd forgotten how good you taste...

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 19:24:16

*lightly* You are. *glides the fingers of one hand up to play with the strap of your dress* *kisses back equally eagerly*

I'd forgotten how good you are.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 19:31:10

*feels her pulse quicken at the thought of those fingers stroking her to senseless bliss* *eventually disentangles herself from you and saunters into the bedroom*

*reaches behind her to unzip her dress as she goes* *lets it drop around her feet*

*stretches out on the bed in her bra and panties, positioning her body enticingly* Shall I refresh your memory?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/17/2007 19:33:04

*stands at the foot of the bed and bites his lip, looking uncharacteristically shy* *kicks off his shoes and pushes down his trousers before kneeling on the edge of the bed*

*tilts his head to the side and looks at you with something like wonder* If you'd be so kind--?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/17/2007 19:44:30

My pleasure. *laughs softly* And yours.

*pulls you down to the bed with her and moves half on top of you*

*plans on doing everything necessary to remind you just how pleasing pleasure can be* *or to make you beg for more* *or both, really*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/18/2007 03:27:04

*lies back and looks up at you with a broad smile on his face*

*rests his hands on your hips, letting his thumbs move in small circles over the skin of your abdomen*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/18/2007 07:33:15

*straddles you and reaches back to unhook her bra* *drops it on your face and giggles*

*lowers her body and feathers warm kisses down your torso, her breasts brushing your skin*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/20/2007 13:15:34

*snorts with laughter and flings your bra to the far wall*

*stretches underneath you, smiling widely* *places a hand on the nape of your neck, rubbing slightly*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/20/2007 14:43:19

*continues moving down your body, her hands gliding lightly over your skin*

*takes you into her mouth without delay, teasing your length with her lips and tongue*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/20/2007 14:54:42

*chokes out a gasps and tightens his grip on your neck*

Finduilas... !!!

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/20/2007 14:56:40

*stops what she's doing and slowly looks up at you*

*innocently* Yes?

	From: atarince	Date: 05/20/2007 15:02:50

*half-closes his eyes and smiles* Don't stop, my darling. You're -- you're -- too good to stop--

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/20/2007 15:08:47

*continues working you up maddeningly for another minute or so before pulling away*

*wriggles out of her panties and stretches out fully on top of you, pressing her hips tight against yours* *giggles harder* It's no use. I'm just so tired. *sighs entirely unconvincingly*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/20/2007 16:55:04

*growls the sort of growl that has made people wet themselves with fear in the past*

*flips you onto your back and dips his head to kiss you hungrily, laughing as he does*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/20/2007 17:37:53

*gasps in surprised delight*

*locks her arms around you and pulls you down to settle between her legs, kissing back feverishly* *is far too pleasantly drunk to be very patient*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/20/2007 17:49:38

*grins down at you with the fevered smile of the drunkard*

*pushes into you with one smooth movement of his hips* *gasps as he begins to thrust slowly and rhythmically*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/20/2007 22:22:01

*can't get enough of your heated kisses* *moans loudly against your mouth as you enter her*

*bucks her hips to match your pace and rhythm* Curvo...oh...harder...yesssss...!

	From: atarince	Date: 05/21/2007 13:25:16

*is unable to restrain himself* *duly grants your demand and moves faster and harder*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/21/2007 13:38:17

*wraps her legs around you, urging you deeper*

*reaches down between their bodies and rubs herself, breathing soft sounds of pleasure with every one of your thrusts*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/21/2007 13:41:14

*presses his lips against your throat, stifling his moans against your skin*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/21/2007 13:48:13

*clutches at you and digs her nails into your shoulders as her bliss quickly peaks* Ahhh...!

*holds on tight as she loses herself, her body trembling*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/21/2007 14:12:19

*lets out a groan and climaxes soon afterwards, driving in as deeply as he can*

*shudders on top of you before slumping forward*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/21/2007 14:21:18

*just rests for a minute or two while she calms and catches her breath*

*eventually squirms partway out from under your weight and yawns* *dazedly* You are so drunk. *giggle*

	From: atarince	Date: 05/21/2007 14:22:10

*laughs and sprawls out on the bed, resting his head on your stomach*

So're you.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/21/2007 14:26:08

*runs her fingers through your hair leisurely*

Nuh-uh. 'm jus'...sleepy.

	From: atarince	Date: 05/21/2007 14:34:34

*closes his eyes* Nu-uh. Y're jus' beautiful. Wife.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 05/21/2007 14:42:43

*closes her eyes too* Shaddup. *smiles* Y're sweet. Love you.

	From: atarince	Date: 05/21/2007 14:44:58

*sighs as he slips off to sleep* Love y'too.

	From: ingoldo	Date: 05/17/2007 17:50:14

Fine? I think?

*thinks there must be some reason you and his granddaughter are all over each other but can't for the life of him figure it out*

*unless it has something to do with you both being hideously drunk*

*oh*
