*flies to Delving with his favourite girl-child daughter* *checks in at the Star*

No, I know the initial reservation was for one but there are two of us. We'll need a suite of rooms. What? No, my wife made the reservations? What? No, this is my daughter. What? No, my wife didn't know my daughter was coming because my wife is not my daughter's mother.

Unless Indis is here? What? No, Míriel is the wife who made the reservation.

What?

*--*

Can I speak to your manager, please?

*swiftly follows to the desk trying to keep her headache down*

Thank you, Sylvia, dear.

*calm smile* Is there a problem?
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 17:39:49  

I don't think there should be a problem? I was booked into a room but I need a bigger one. In fact, I need a suite of rooms because, at the last minute, my daughter joined me on this trip. This isn't a problem, is it?
From: [info]starbrow Date: 08/23/2007 17:48:05  

*smoothly* I'll see what's available. As in most of the hotel. The name on the booking?

*calls up the listings with a few taps on the keyboard*
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 17:49:07  

*leans on his elbows on the counter* Oh, I don't know? Either Míriel or Finwë, I guess?
From: [info]starbrow Date: 08/23/2007 18:02:01  

*wibbles* *calmly retrieves your name* We have a reservation for adjoining rooms on the twelfth floor. It looks like one of the penthouse suites has been empty for the last week has just come available.

*notes the cut of your jacket*
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 18:14:37  

*smiles* That will do nicely. Thank you. Is there someone to carry our bags? I can promise you that we're not actually moving in but my daughter has all of her luggage for school with her too.
From: [info]starbrow Date: 08/23/2007 18:19:18  

Certainly, sir. *beckons a bellhop over with a luggage cart* Ethan, these will be going to 1501, thank you.

Allow me to escort you personally. May we offer any special amenities during your stay? They're all very appropriately priced.
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 18:24:22  

Ooh, what's your pool like? Is there a spa? I'd love a manicure before going back to school. *is temporarily distracted by the sight of Ethan's ass in those bellhop trousers but soon gets right back on track!* Oh, and shops. I need to know about shops? I have to get a whole new wardrobe not that Dad agrees but, really, it's Fall and all.
From: [info]starbrow Date: 08/23/2007 18:32:42  

*thinks a socialite father/daughter might go a long way toward solving that migraine* :]

*small chuckle* I shall leave some brochures for you. *calls up some pieces of mental trivia* Your wife's collection is quite striking this season.

*ushers you into the elevator and presses the button for 15* Room service is available 'round the clock. The pool is heated and sauna and spa rooms open from 6:30am.
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 18:48:00  

Oh, yes. Red always was a talented little seamstress. Good to see her doing so well for herself.

The pool is heated and sauna and spa rooms open from 6:30am.

There you go, Fániel. All your needs catered for.

Oh, could I ask that someone inform my wife that we have arrived? I'd call her but I wouldn't be sure she'd pick up! *laughs jovially*
From: [info]starbrow Date: 08/23/2007 18:56:14  

*breezes right on past those polygamous implications with a smile* MmmHMM.

I'll place a request with the front desk for you.

*opens your room*

*steps in and waits with her portfolio to make sure it's to your taste expense liking*
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 19:11:46  

Ooh, I like it. *rushes through to the larger bedroom* *calls back* Bagsies this room!
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 19:12:53  

*rolls his eyes indulgently*

*to Erendis* Well, that's told me. This looks very adequate. Might we have tea sent up?
From: [info]starbrow Date: 08/23/2007 19:28:24  

*nods* Very good sir. It'll be here directly.

*passes you the key cards* Do let us know how we can make your stay here a pleasant one.
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 20:26:10  

Many thanks. *takes the key cards from you and retreats into the living room*

Fáni-- Fániel. No bouncing on the bed. *settles down in front of the television to not watch the news*
From: [info]starbrow Date: 08/23/2007 20:29:02  

*nods with a smile*

*retreats downstairs*

*presses fingertips to her temple and decides she will have those two extra-strength ibuprofen after all* :\
From: [info]broideress Date: 08/23/2007 20:23:02  

*receives your message* *makes her way to the Star when she's finished with her meetings for the day*

*goes to the reception* But no -- I don't want to meet him in his room. Can't he come down to the bar here? *sighs* Fine. What's his room number?

*goes up in the elevator to the your suite, chewing nervously on a thumbnail*
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 20:27:25  

*ambles over to answer the door, with a cup of tea in one hand*

*feels the breath knocked out of him when he sees you standing there*
From: [info]broideress Date: 08/23/2007 20:29:41  

*uncertainly, when it becomes obvious you're not going to speak*

Oh, for Eru's sake, say something, Finwë?.
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 20:31:45  

*opens his mouth*

*--*

*closes it again*
From: [info]broideress Date: 08/23/2007 20:32:45  

*shifts her weight from one foot to the other* Finwë. Please.
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 20:34:07  

*calls from the living room* Dad? Who is it? Is it that woman with the catalogue?
From: [info]broideress Date: 08/23/2007 20:36:10  

*looks at Finwë quizzically*
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 20:38:37  

*calls in* No, sweetheart, it's ... it's rather better than that, actually... it's your stepmother.

*steps back* Come in, Red. You won't have met Fániel.
From: [info]broideress Date: 08/23/2007 20:44:05  

*hasn't even heard of Fániel* *never really thought of your other children as having names*

*steps into the suite, feeling entirely awkward*
From: [info] Date: 08/23/2007 20:47:22  

*is sitting on the couch, with her knees drawn up and her arms wrapped around them*

*looks at you suspiciously* You're not my mother just so we're clear on that you are not her Míriel?
From: [info]broideress Date: 08/23/2007 21:01:20  

*looks back equally suspiciously*

That's right. Fániel?.
From: [info] Date: 08/24/2007 08:33:50  

There, now. Isn't this lovely? Red, this is Fániel. She's my second daughter and fourth child. Fániel, this is Red. Please like each other please for me?
From: [info] Date: 08/24/2007 08:35:52  

*mumbles sullenly* It's nice to meet you. I have to go to my room now. *goes to stand up*
From: [info]broideress Date: 08/24/2007 08:38:02  

Oh, no, not on my account, please. I really just came to tell your father that he has an appointment with Elwë tomorrow at 10am. *clutches her bag* Really, I should be going.
From: [info] Date: 08/24/2007 08:39:09  

*bewildered* Why do you need to go to your room, Fániel? Red? Why do you need to go? You only just got here.
From: [info] Date: 08/24/2007 08:44:34  

*looks at you like you're an idiot* *wicked stepmother in the room, hello?*
From: [info]broideress Date: 08/24/2007 08:45:30  

*looks at you like you're an idiot* *just because*
From: [info] Date: 08/24/2007 08:55:03  

*wonders if the temperature in the room just dropped?*

Seriously, girls, I'd like you to get to know each other a bit? Is that really too much to ask, Fániel? Please?
From: [info] Date: 08/24/2007 08:57:29  

But I don't wanna.

*sullenly* Fine. But I won't pretend to like her.
From: [info] Date: 08/24/2007 09:01:27  

*smiles* Good girl.

*to Míriel* You have time for a cup of tea, surely? How long has it been since was last saw each other? Yes. You definitely have time for a cup of tea.
From: [info]broideress Date: 08/24/2007 09:07:23  

*folds her arms* Let me think. Ah, yes, it was sometime after giving birth to your son, as I recall but the memories are a little hazy, funnily enough.

Stop that. Stop that right now.
From: [info] Date: 08/24/2007 14:54:50  

Gosh, but that's a long time ago. Which is absolutely why you should at least stay for tea, Red!

Stop what? What am I doing?
From: [info]broideress Date: 08/24/2007 15:11:07  

*looks at you, askance* I fail to see how my untimely demise should impose any sense of duty on me now, Finwë.

That charm thing. Stop it.
From: [info] Date: 08/24/2007 17:02:35  

*smiles* Oh, surely the duty falls on me to somehow make it up to you?

Hey, it's why you married me, right?
From: [info]broideress Date: 08/24/2007 17:29:08  

I don't think a cup of tea is quite going to make it up to me.

And I thought it had something to do with love.
From: [info] Date: 08/24/2007 17:48:31  

*brightly* Well, then, let's discuss, over a cup of tea, how I can make it up to you.

Oh, that. But you thought I was charming too, didn't you?
From: [info] Date: 08/24/2007 18:44:18  

*feels a little nauseated* Seriously, Dad, I should just go to my room PLEASE? Let you guys catch up?
