*returns to his own home, at last, restless from so many weeks cooped up (in varying circumstances)*

*itches to get compositions on paper again and re-order the bits he's got* *senses a few themes emerging, anyhow* :\ :?

*sends the staff home temporarily and spends an entire day working, cooking, and generally putting the place exactly how he wants it again*

*settles in for the evening, thinking on something he never got a chance to do*

*makes a call*

Current Mood: contemplative

*balances an enormous stack of file folders in one hand to grab his office phone and stick it between ear and shoulder*

Elrond here.
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 09/26/2007 12:21:16  

*finds it's still a bit of a surprise to hear your voice as it is now*

Elrond, hello.
From: [info]elrondmd Date: 09/26/2007 12:26:39  

*stops short to puzzle over the voice on the other end for a moment, his paperwork teeting precariously* Oh, drat...thanks, Chip.

*untangles the phone cord and sits back down at his desk*

*tentatively* ...Dad? Maglor?

*gets up from the piano bench and walks around the music room while he talks*

*smiles a little* Yes, and still in one piece.

*long pause* *still is no more sure of where to begin* How are you?
From: [info]elrondmd Date: 09/26/2007 12:42:28  

*amicably* Oh, fine, fine. Always busy. You know me.

still in one piece

*rubs his chin* I'm glad to hear it. And I'm glad the tension level seems to have dropped a bit. In Doriath, at least. And in Hithlum?
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 09/26/2007 12:51:26  

You know me

*is happy to think that's true*

the tension level seems to have dropped a bit

I've heard similar reports. Hithlum is quite fine. Or at least it was when I left.

*only a little hesitantly* I'd hoped we'd be able to speak under... different circumstances.
From: [info]elrondmd Date: 09/26/2007 12:57:31  

*curiously* Oh...have you headed home then?

Circumstances? *smiles a little* Yes, I suppose face-to-face is rather out of the question here in Delving, things being what they are. Or Thingol, anyway.

*idly closes up a metronome on the piano top*

I have, and now all I have to do is remember what it was like to be in my own space again. *small ironic laugh* Now that I've redefined for myself the nature of "close quarters."

things being what they are

*briefly considering* Still, I understand from my mother and Finduilas that we all I am quite in your debt.
From: [info]elrondmd Date: 09/26/2007 13:52:33  

I am quite in your debt

*tries to mask his discomfort with forced nonchalance* Let's not have any of that, if you please...? You're free and no one died, and things are getting back to normal. *laughs* Well, what passes for normal, I suppose.
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 09/26/2007 14:05:29  

if you please...?

*wishing there was any way to explain how much he didn't want you to be in that position* *or something about ends and means and...* *argh* *where's a script when he needs one?* Yes. Of course. But you, well you know how I feel.

*clears his throat* Your family is well?
From: [info]elrondmd Date: 09/26/2007 14:14:21  

you know how I feel

*quietly* Yes, I...it's fine. Just keep them out of my neighborhood and I'll be happy. *clears his throat*

*absently toys with a pen* Still just Brí and me, I'm afraid. But yes, she's doing well. Thinking of opening another restaurant, if you can believe that. *perfectly sincerely* I don't know where she finds the time.
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 09/26/2007 14:22:36  

Oh how I would if I could. :\

*happily observes your change in tone, speaking about her* We all find the time for our passions, isn't it true? Has she investigated any properties in the north at all? The market's quite open.
From: [info]elrondmd Date: 09/26/2007 14:30:45  

*frantically silently mimes to Chip his desire that his aide not rearrange all the furniture in his office* *exhales* Not extensively, no. But she's mentioned doing so, on occasion. You might talk to her about the market sometime?

*almost cheekily* If you're not concerned about all the business moving in and spoiling the quiet.
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 09/26/2007 14:40:33  

*closes the music room doors behind him and makes his way up to the kitchen*

If she's anything like you say I'd trust her with the hidden treasures of the neighbourhood. I didn't pick it for nothing.
From: [info]elrondmd Date: 09/26/2007 14:44:42  

*amused!* She's a peach but she's also a hell of a shrewd businesswoman. I'd be careful what I wished for, if I were you.
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 09/26/2007 14:53:50  

*laughs* That sounds like a proper challenge, you know.

*opens a cupboard to see just what's left unspoiled* *thinks his plans to be a hermit tonight might have to be amended* :\

*puts hand in pocket and leans against the counter* The next time she wants a tour, the both of you would be welcome here. And I'd consider that a standing invitation.
From: [info]elrondmd Date: 09/26/2007 14:59:34  

*nods before remembering you can't see him doing it* *somewhat formally, perhaps* Thank you. I imagine we'll take you up on that offer sometime.

*pauses* *hopefully* Sometime soon, maybe?

*looks down at his desk blotter to see what he's been doodling (little "Brí"s inside hearts)*
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 09/26/2007 15:07:06  

*privately very encouraged*

Do, do. The mountains are quite splendid in the fall.
From: [info]elrondmd Date: 09/26/2007 15:15:17  

I don't doubt it. *candidly* And while Doriath has its own charms, I confess I often find myself missing my mountains.

*laughs again suddenly* Imladris, I mean, of course. The mountains I only borrowed for a little while.
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 09/26/2007 15:23:14  

I only borrowed

*won't have you sell yourself short, now* I'm sure these won't hold a candle, then. ;) You can tell me yourself when you've had the tour.
