*strolls out with Rupert, chatting about horse-racing* 'Course, I own a few, back in Ossiriand. Rochallor, keep an ear open for him, how's that for a tip, Rupe?

*doesn't even look up, inititally, having been told that his wife is visiting* So, Red, where do you stand--? *glances in your direction and stops dead*

*stares at you before breaking into an open and obviously happy smile* Indis.

Oh, so you do remember me?

	From:	Date: 10/08/2007 15:14:50

*cheerfully* Of course I remember you, love. Oh, Arafinwë and Fániel are going to be so pleased.

*Sighs heavily and initiates nag-mode*

What on Orë are you thinking? Why must you always stick your neck out for that boy and his delinquent brood? Is this going to be a repeat performance of Formenos? Is it, is it? Are you going to spend years in here until a socially maladjusted vala decides squash you to get at some shinies? Is it? Because I'm just not having any of that silly nonsense.

*brightly* Do you know? I hadn't really thought how long this thing might last. I daresay that Elwë and I will come to some agreement eventually but, really, Indis, those boys (and girl) are so young. Can't have them throwing their lives away again so soon.

Do you know? I'm not the slightest bit suprised that you haven't thought this through. So, you take the fall for those boys (and girl), so they'll never learn, and you're just going to hope that everything turns out okay? That's your genius plan?

BRILLIANT.

*raises his eyebrows* Hey, easy now, Indis. Not even Red gave out to me as much as you and you know she has no time for Curufinwë and his kids.

*pauses* Will you have some coffee? Rupert brews really good coffee.

	From:	Date: 10/08/2007 16:13:11

*Icily* She's still the benchmark then?

Black, no sugar.

	From:	Date: 10/08/2007 16:16:35

Don't be silly, Indis. You two are nothing alike. Different hair colour, for one thing, although you do take coffee the same way.

*offers you a smile and then offers you his hand* You really are angry with me, aren't you?

	From:	Date: 10/08/2007 16:40:15

Why do you ask my opinion after the fact?

	From:	Date: 10/08/2007 16:54:12

*opens and closes his mouth soundlessly*

Because I knew you wouldn't let me do this?

	From:	Date: 10/08/2007 17:23:59

Did it ever occur to you that I might have good reason for stopping you? You talk about them throwing their lives away, what about yours?
