*happily finds it's Tuesday, and that means her regularly scheduled trip to the post office*

*wraps up a shoebox full of oatmeal-chocolate-chip cookies for Mablung* :)

*addresses a card to Celeborn on some stationery she had leftover from two Erumases ago but figures it's bright and sparkly enough for a kid* *puts a drawing of her house in it so he can add it to his collection*

*takes the address book page starting with Túrin, tears it out and crumples it into a little ball* XP

*piles the lot together with a renewal for her subscription to Crochet Year Round, and posts it*

*rings you after a very restful nap*

Nelly, face cards are just about always worth ten, right?
From: [info] Date: 09/19/2007 14:50:46  

*has taken the opportunity of the day to hoe out some of the boxes in the spare room*

*is starting in on all the Erumas decorations when the phone rings*

*gets to it on the 5th or 6th ring*

...

But what game are you playing?
From: [info]mablung Date: 09/19/2007 14:54:30  

*considers* Hmm. That's an excellent question. And they all...look the same way every time, do they? The cards, I mean.

*glances at his painkiller drip to double-check that it's been on the same setting this whole time*
From: [info] Date: 09/19/2007 15:02:52  

*promptly* In poker they're always ten. But remember in Crazy Eights if it's the Queen of Spades you draw five.

*tucks the phone on her shoulder and drags the loooooooong phone cord in with her*

Look the same way every time? Don't be silly Mablung. X)
From: [info]mablung Date: 09/19/2007 15:10:22  

Don't be silly Mablung.

So that means yes? AH-ha...don't mind me. I'm just pulling your leg. Yours work so naturally I'm green with envy.

*stares at that spot on his ceiling and tries for the thousandth time to make it look like something*

You know how people always moan and groan about how boring hospitals are? They know everything. *twists the phone cord around his finger* How are you, honey?
From: [info] Date: 09/19/2007 15:22:22  

Yours work

:\ :( :s

*sits herself down on the floor and looks through a box* *pulls out some dominoes*

I'm good. I miss you lots. I sent you a present today. It's way colder outside and I unpacked all the sweaters and there was this really nice little elf I met called Celeborn and you know that huuuuuge treehouse on the south end? It's not rich people after all, it's his!
From: [info]mablung Date: 09/19/2007 15:29:13  

*really has no idea that joke fell as flat as it did, because hey, Mablung*

Celeborn, Celeborn. *frowns, thinking* That treehouse sounds like something the boss would— *attempts to snap the fingers of his new hand (with limited success)* Oh. He's one of the relations, right? Mini sort of bloke? Sugar fixation, probably?

I sent you a present today.

*smiling* Aw, kid. You're too good to me. I miss you too. So what is it, huh huh huh?
From: [info] Date: 09/19/2007 15:37:29  

*sets up some dominoes on the floor in front of her* *small giggle* You'll just have to see when you get it but you're not allowed to share cause it's all yours. *huge smile, not that you can see it* :)

*nods* We got ice cream cones and he was so sweet. *whispers, not for any good reason* And you should see the men Thingol sends with him! And the biggest car!

Also the leaves are going to turn colours soon it'll be so pretty and you have to get better before then so we can go for bike rides. 'Cause you're totally going to get better cross my heart.
From: [info]mablung Date: 09/19/2007 15:44:23  

*teasingly* Not share? Oh noes, Nels, how will I ever manage that?

And you should see the men Thingol sends with him! And the biggest car!

*chuckles* Whole hog, that's our Elu. Kid must be Elmo's tyke then. If he were Olwë's I'm guessing Elu'd enlist him in the military or some shit.

*brimming with false confidence* You'd better believe it, babe. I miss our trees almost as much as I miss you. That's crazily a lot, if you're keeping score at home.
From: [info] Date: 09/19/2007 16:02:14  

*laughs* I think you'll manage. X)

That's crazily a lot

*ditto*

*pushes a domino down and watches them splatter* :s

*genuinely* I want to come see you Mablung. I got so close last time, to the very last train stop.
From: [info]mablung Date: 09/19/2007 19:50:06  

*examines the queen of hearts closely, without blinking*

*sort of seriously* Now don't go worrying yourself about stuff like that, babe. I'm real proud of you for what you did but I promise I'll keep until I can get my arse out there to see you.
From: [info] Date: 09/19/2007 20:04:14  

*tucks her knees up*

But I do want to, honest. It's not the same. And there's nice doctors there, the nicest, he didn't make me feel bad at all and Beleg's there too, right, you got company, right?

*reaches over and grabs the newspaper from yesterday* Hey did you get the jumble?
From: [info]mablung Date: 09/19/2007 20:17:21  

*smiles a little* Well, don't think you'd be disappointing me if you can't come in. You know we don't roll like that. *eyes his wheelchair balefully* And I have to get Beleg kicked out now and then, actually. She doesn't need to be chewing her nails over me at a time like this, you know?

*gives Her Highness of Hearts another shifty look before digging for the paper* Oh, come on, Nelly, you know I'm shit at those things. R-C-H-W-D-M-N-A-R-A-E? That just isn't fair.
From: [info] Date: 09/19/2007 20:25:56  

*twirls the phone cord in her fingers and bites her lip* Does she know if it's a boy or a girl? They can find that out right? *looks in one of the opened boxes and is postive she's got some yarn for a sweater in here somewhere!*

*laughs* But you proooooomised you'd try it. :]
From: [info]mablung Date: 09/19/2007 20:32:49  

They can find that out right?

*brightly* So I hear. I guess it's a bit early for that sort of thing? She's not even gotten fat yet. Erufather. In-fucking-credible really.

*siiiighs* *frowns in concentration* Charmed...warn... Hard...new...cram. Ram...chew... What's the point if it's not even dirty? It's not dirty, is it?
From: [info] Date: 09/19/2007 20:39:05  

Erufather

*smiles* So you should think up names. That's a good job for Erufather? It'll be like homework. X)

dirty

*puts her hand to her forehead* *OHCOMEONTHISISSOEASY*
From: [info]mablung Date: 09/19/2007 20:45:42  

*thinks he'll ask Beleg to head out your way for a visit, as a special favor to him but really because you're good for the soul* Names, okay. I can do names. *innocently* How about Nell? Nella? Nellina? Nelinor?

*rubs his chin* End...war...march? Ooh, is it that liberal media bias coming through? Liberal, right? Very clever.
From: [info] Date: 09/19/2007 20:51:04  

*blushes* Now you're just being silly. Silly Mablung. X) *is grateful, really*

...

*has to give you points because that's at least technically a correct answer* Okay. But you better be faster with today's. Gotta get that brain working again soon.

*after a long pause* I'll call you t'morrow 'kay?
From: [info]mablung Date: 09/19/2007 20:56:38  

Nel...doreth. See? *beams right through the phone* This, this I can do.

*pitifully* You're a slave driver, Nelly. A real taskmistress. *grinning* I'll do better tomorrow, I swear.
From: [info] Date: 09/19/2007 21:00:52  

You better or I'll send you a box of coal. :p

*crouches up on her heels, playing with the spilled dominoes*

Bye, Mablung. Feel better soon. :)
From: [info]mablung Date: 09/19/2007 21:11:52  

*snickers* Psst! It's not a hint if you tell me what it is. To keep me warm, yeah? You're so thoughtful.

Keep my trees company for me, hon. I'll see you soon. Muah.
From: [info] Date: 09/19/2007 21:16:14  

*giggles* You'll see.

*cheerfully* Not if I see you first!

*scampers back to the kitchen to hang up the phone* *spends a second untangling herself from the cord before going back to her cleaning*
