*and the rearranging of furniture*

*stands near the door of the offending room, looking harassed and issuing orders for everything to be completely re-situated and then moved again and again when the result is unsatisfactory*

*hasn't been awake nearly long enough to ask you what's ruffled your feathers*

*looks around to see if there's still a coffee tray anywhere*

	From: tyelcormo	Date: 05/21/2007 13:41:11

*finally notices you trudging about groggily*

*brusquely* Tea and coffee in the dining room.

*mumbles a thank you*

*pours a cup with sugar*

*sips* *mmm, nice blend actually*

*pours a second cup and shuffles back to the room of Great Commotion™*

Busy morning?

	From: tyelcormo	Date: 05/21/2007 14:04:06

*nice blend actually*

*well of course it is*

*sighs* Something like that. *to the servants* No, no, just put everything back the way it was. *...* Yes, the first time. *muttering darkly* That was the only correct arrangement to begin with.

*because he's going to stab something if he doesn't get some normality soon* Sleep well?

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 05/21/2007 14:22:47

*re-ties his robe a little more tidiliy* Mm, yes. *takes a few more sips*

*watches the servants rush to follow your bidding* *frowns at you*

Isn't it a little early in the afternoon day for moving furniture?

	From: tyelcormo	Date: 05/21/2007 14:34:12

*checks his watch and gives you a rather disapproving look* No. It isn't. Especially not when the tranquility of my home has been disturbed.

*attempting to change the subject* What shall we all do when Moryo gets back? The area's changed a fair bit...since you last saw it, anyway. *smiles a little* Would you like the tour, or should we give you and my piano some privacy?

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 05/21/2007 14:40:38

*rolls his eyes just slightly* You should try sleeping more, Turco. It helps with the psychosis stress.

when the tranquility of my home has been disturbed

*takes a seat on one of the side chairs, out of the way of the moving* By what? The room looks fine.

should we give you and my piano some privacy

Oh heavens, on the first day? What would my piano at home think? ;)

	From: tyelcormo	Date: 05/21/2007 14:49:40

I'm not lacking sleep, Cáno. *laughs* Just because I don't lie about in bed until dinnertime doesn't mean I'm tired but I really, really am.

What would my piano at home think?

*smirks* Just reassure her that you made a mistake, that the model you strayed with was inferior in every way and meant nothing to you. Isn't that how it's normally done?

*slumps in another chair near you* *for once can't be bothered to sit up straight* Have you ever heard of some atrocious mortal creature called Haleth? I'm assuming she was mortal then, at least. Not even a Sinda would have manners like that.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 05/21/2007 16:27:46

*shrugs* Schedules were never good for creativity. The muse wants what it wants. *that's his excuse and he's sticking to it*

Isn't that how it's normally done?

*tilts his head, smirking back* Well I find if you don't stray from the start, it makes things all that much easier for some people, doesn't it? ;)

*thinks you look as put out as you used to if one of the other boys used to play with your toys* Haleth? *gives a stretch, as he thinks* I don't think so. Why, does she live nearby?

	From: tyelcormo	Date: 05/21/2007 16:43:12

it makes things all that much easier, doesn't it?

*unguardedly* I'm sure you know better than I, Cáno. I have no plans to acquire any experience in the area whatsoever.

*is really quite a bit more put out than the situation merits, even considering that he is already the King of Overreaction Nation* If she doesn't live nearby, she drove a long way to see Moryo. She claims to know him, anyway. She was here earlier.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 05/21/2007 16:48:44

*bites his tongue and focuses on draining what's left of his coffee* Mmmhmm, you don't say. ;)

*idly, glancing around for the day's newspaper* Oh yeah? Old friend maybe? *assumes you invited her in* Did she stay long, or just looking for directions to Morno's?

	From: tyelcormo	Date: 05/21/2007 17:00:02

*incredulously* No, she did not stay long. I quite literally threw her out. Cáno, this woman is an affront to everything decent. She discovered that Moryo was visiting here, bewitched my entire staff, marched in here unannounced, nearly destroyed a priceless work of art, and expected me to entertain her until Moryo returned. I've never seen such disrespect. She ought to be groveling at my feet for forgiveness.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 05/21/2007 17:14:49

Well geez, Turco, it's not unheard of to ask friends of the family in for tea or anything. Oh you really are wound up.

*is kind of curious about this girl now, if she's done all of this and put you in this state* But the place looks fine. *observes the furniture having returned to their places of origin* What did she want with Caranthir?

	From: tyelcormo	Date: 05/21/2007 17:24:43

*sharply* Did you hear nothing I just said? *sneering* I know he likes to slum it from time to time but this is ridiculous.

*stands and paces walks around the room* *runs his fingers over a shelf and inspects them for dust* Yes, it's fine now. This is still my house. I have a few very simple rules designed to keep my home and my sanity pristine immaculate intact and I don't think it's too much to ask that people honor them. Even friends of the family. No...especially friends of the family.

*disgustedly* If, in fact, this woman falls into that category somehow. I really prefer not to know how she knows Moryo or what she wants with him.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 05/21/2007 17:37:50

rules designed to keep my home intact

*is really pleased with his own video-call-buzzer system* *does wonders for the inner sanctum* :)

*watches you pace* *is mildly concerned*

*stands up* Celegorm, really. It's okay. If she's really that bad just warn the staff not to let her in. Maybe she won't even come back if she's found Moryo yet.

Did you eat brunch lunch whatever the next meal is yet? C'mon, you can let me talk you down tell me the rest at the table, I'm starving.

	From: tyelcormo	Date: 05/21/2007 17:49:28

*well, was really happy with his Big Fucking Iron Gates and armed guard until today, too*

*regains his composure after a moment* I imagine you're right. *calmly* If I ever see her again, I may break her neck with my bare hands.

*focuses on you* I couldn't eat a thing. You go ahead, though. *buzzes for his assistant* Just tell Rachel what you want and she'll arrange everything. ...I need to get some air.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 05/21/2007 17:58:30

*is having a hard time reading whether your mood is garden-variety moodiness or genuinely alarmist*

*will remind himself not to get any crumbs in the wrong places* :\ :s

...Right. Don't be too long. I haven't shown you my new box set yet. They're collector's items I hear. ;)

	From: tyelcormo	Date: 05/21/2007 18:06:34

*takes his just-polished sunglasses and car keys from Rachel, who has become fairly adept at interpreting his moods, poor girl*

I won't be long. *smiles at you* *lightly* I fully expect your muse to wait to put in an appearance until I'm home. It's only polite.

*leaves*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 05/21/2007 18:11:17

I'll do my best but she's a fickle one, the muse. ;)

*pauses to add you to the "hope they arrive back in one piece" list, along with Curufin* *why does he keep doing this, anyway?*

*asks Rachel for eggs benedict with extra potatoes and hot sauce on the side*

*has it sent out to the patio table, since it's a nice day*

*sits and thinks for a while*
