*phones you up in a state of panic!!*

*issounbelievablyhappytoseeyournameonthecalleridthankyousweeteru*

*picks up the phone and doesn't even bother with pleasantries*

*angrily!* *is angry!* You will not believe what has Elenwë has done! The nerve! This is the last straw!

	From: artafinde	Date: 08/11/2007 19:18:20

*is sort of surprised by your greeting*

*pauses for a moment before collecting her thoughts*

Yeah, that must be rough for you but right now we should probably talk about how our cousins have just lead some sort of bloody jail-break slash shoot 'em up right in the middle of my city and I don't remember how we're supposed to handle this and your brother didn't mention crazy Feanorian killing sprees when he asked me to be diplomat.

*...FACEPALM*

Oh for the love of Eru -- not again! I don't want to be kicked off this continent. I like this continent.

*as if it's the most normal question he has ever asked* So how many did they kill?

	From: artafinde	Date: 08/11/2007 19:21:53

how many did they kill

Well, none, actually. *laughs nervously* I guess they've lost their touch? *more gravely* A few marchwardens are in critical care, though. This is a big deal, Turgon. Thingol's not going to be happy.

	From: thewise	Date: 08/11/2007 19:23:37

*has only one thought at the moment*

Get out of there. Get out of there right now. The man is a psychopath and AND you just don't know what he's going to do!

	From: artafinde	Date: 08/11/2007 19:25:56

*actually laughs* He's not going to hurt me, Turgon. I'm his niece. My mother is his new daughter lives with him. It's the other people we have to worry about. All the Noldor living in this city. My father. I'm not going anywhere. It's my job to help them.

Besides if there's anyone you should be worried about it's your idiot brother. You realize they all fled to Hithlum.

	From: thewise	Date: 08/11/2007 19:27:04

Oh, please. Fingon's stupid, but he's not that stupid. A bunch of mass murdering fugitives show up on his doorstep he's going to send them right back where they came from. Give him more credit than that.

*does sort of wonder if they should give him more credit than that*

	From: artafinde	Date: 08/11/2007 19:28:26

*sadly* Maedhros was involved. She's a mass-murdering fugitive too. You know he doesn't think straight when it comes to her.

	From: thewise	Date: 08/11/2007 19:29:57

Oh. Oh.

I guess I should go slap some sense into my brother before he makes a big big big mistake?

	From: artafinde	Date: 08/11/2007 19:31:14

Yeah, that would be good. I'm going to go to the hospital and check on the injured Marchwardens. Try to do a little damage control here.

Good luck.

	From: thewise	Date: 08/11/2007 19:32:19

Right, okay, I'm leaving right away. Thanks for the heads up. *chuckles softly* When this is all over want to disown our entire family?

	From: artafinde	Date: 08/11/2007 19:34:41

*half laughs* That sounds like a plan alright.

this is the last straw

*pauses for a moment* Hey, uh, was there something you were wanting to tell me? About Elenwë, I mean?

	From: thewise	Date: 08/11/2007 19:35:42

Uh, yeah. Uhm... *scratches the back of his head* No, uh, no. It's not important. It was nothing.

	From: artafinde	Date: 08/11/2007 19:36:25

Oh. Oh.

Okay, well, have a safe trip.

	From: thewise	Date: 08/11/2007 19:37:43

*half smiles* You too. Well. I mean. You're not going on a trip. But be safe.

...*coughs*

Right then. See you around.

	From: artafinde	Date: 08/11/2007 19:38:31

*smiles a bit herself* See you around.

*hangs up the phone*

*siiiiiiiiiiiighs*

	From: thewise	Date: 08/11/2007 19:39:31

*hangs up the phone and spends a few moments trying to clear his mind of you enough to formulate a game plan*

*eventually marches off to find his wife*

	From: frostyelenwe	Date: 08/11/2007 19:42:46

*is still in her sitting room, sipping the same cup of tea and reading the Society pages*

*looks up when you come in but betrays no emotion, waiting first to judge your reaction which she imagines will be childish insolence*

	From: thewise	Date: 08/11/2007 19:45:25

*formally*

I am leaving for Hithlum immediately to attend to some family fuck-ups business. Idril is asleep in her room. She will remain in this house. You will not look at her, speak to her, send messages to her, or in any other way have contact with her. The staff have been instructed that she is not to leave and they are to disregard any and all of your orders to the contrary.

I will be gone a few days. We can discuss the matter further when I return.

	From: frostyelenwe	Date: 08/11/2007 19:46:44

*can't help but be a little shocked*

*stands up to face you*

If you think for a moment that you can order me about in my own home, why Turukáno you have ano---

	From: thewise	Date: 08/11/2007 19:48:10

*very loudly and very firmly*

Sit down and shut up, Elenwë. That is enough out of you. Do you understand? Have I made myself quite clear?

	From: frostyelenwe	Date: 08/11/2007 19:49:08

...

*sits down and shuts up*

*but just for a second*

*somewhat more meekly* I don't know what you think you are doing but---

	From: thewise	Date: 08/11/2007 19:50:09

*interrupts again*

I said shut up.

I am leaving now. We will talk when I return. Goodnight, Elenwë.

	From: frostyelenwe	Date: 08/11/2007 19:51:19

*actually stays silent and watches you depart, wondering what the hell just happened*

*doesn't like it. doesn't like it one bit*

	From: thewise	Date: 08/11/2007 19:52:29

*gives his final orders to the staff, etc*

*leaves a message for Idril when she wakes up*

*heads off to Hithlum*
