*dazedly steps out of the police station after being questioned for what seemed like hours*

*has no idea if they actually bought it*

*becomes dimly aware that her cell phone is ringing*

*remembers how to answer it eventually* Hello?

*has been sitting in a little café not too far from the MHC (and not too close)*

*stares at the television over the bar* *her breath catching in her throat* It's all over the news. Have you heard anything?

*after a moment* Nerdanel?

I just came from the hospital. *dumbly* And the station. Celegorm brought Curufin in. To the hospital, I mean. I don't know if the others are here...?
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/10/2007 10:38:07  

Celegorm brought Curufin in.

*has just stood up but is forced to sit down again quickly* *moving along before she loses her cool completely* You can bet that Maitimo was there. And Carnistir is indispensable in a fight.

*breathlessly* What did the marchwardens say?

What did the marchwardens say?

*is happy to skirt the most pressing issue as well* They asked the questions, mostly. I don't think they know about Curufin. The only people who saw them leave got shot up pretty badly. They're both unconscious down at Mercy. Apparently one's critical.

*weakly* I tried to help by telling them exactly where they are? I don't know how much time they have.

*tries to take a sip of her tea, with limited success*

And what about Macalaurë? Has there been no word about Macalaurë???????
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 08/10/2007 10:47:03  

*starting to cry again* I didn't hear anything else. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

*digs around in her bag for a tissue* *blows her nose so she doesn't have to hear your silent disappointment*

*has another thought* Nerdanel...is Maglor not really ill?
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/10/2007 10:49:33  

*sits up straighter, confused* *tries to put the pieces together* But you must have... Oh. Did you see Elrond? You did, didn't you?

*futilely, frustrated* We had a plan. We were going to fake his death.
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 08/10/2007 10:50:49  

*softly* Why didn't you tell me?
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/10/2007 10:54:52  

be strong, Nerdanel, be strong...

*puts forth a great effort to speak evenly* I couldn't, dear. We thought that the fewer people who knew...but obviously that was a very serious mistake.

*sticks her phone between ear and shoulder to pay her bill* Will you meet me at the hospital? I have to see my baby my little baby Atarincë.
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 08/10/2007 10:57:46  

*firmly* You can't. Nor can I. It's too dangerous for them. And for us.

*weighing the situation* In fact it's probably safest if you left town. You're still not connected with any of this, as far as I know, but Thingol will be baying for blood soon enough. *glances down at her soiled shirt*
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/10/2007 11:01:06  

*feels utterly helpless*

*glances around to be sure she isn't overheard* I was supposed to take Mac to Hísilómë. *doubtfully* We can wait there for them, I suppose. If I don't die of worry first.
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 08/10/2007 11:02:43  

*in a small voice* "We"?
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/10/2007 11:04:08  

*gently* You'll come with me, of course. You'll be in danger yourself once the marchwardens learn you've fed them misinformation, dear.
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 08/10/2007 11:07:52  

*wonders whether she should tell you it wasn't precisely misinformation*

*decides that particular course of action was very likely every bit as insane as it sounds*

*hesitantly* I'll join you there. I have to tell Celebrimbor that Curufin's...dead? dying? Not that he'll care, but whatever.
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/10/2007 11:11:29  

*presses her lips together tightly*

*can hardly bring herself to say the words* What if the others are...are hurt? What if they can't make it to Hísilómë? They'll head for the hospital, too.
From: [info]ivrinsun Date: 08/10/2007 11:14:03  

*shakes her head before remembering you can't see her*

*steeling her nerves* I think they'll know enough to try and get out of Doriath unless there's a life-and-death situation.
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/10/2007 11:16:03  

to try and get out

*because she doesn't have many words of comfort to offer you when she has to hoard so many for herself* Then I'll see you in Hísilómë.
