Action: He's hanging out on the Bishop, if you want
When: Slightly backdated, let's say 5/9


[Video, locked to the Bishop]

[There’s a noticeable difference from Finrod’s usual appearance on the communication devices. His easygoing demeanor is gone, replaced by a decidedly more commanding air. He has chosen one of his finer tunics for this, and his hair is carefully braided back and away from his face.
As the video begins, he sits perfectly straight, his shoulders squared, and a confident , welcoming smile on his face. With a polite little dip of his head, he begins to speak, his tone more formal than most may be accustomed to hearing.]

There are, I believe, a few of you I have not yet met- something I hope to remedy soon- but for that reason, I think it best to start with an introduction. I am Finrod Felagund and I have been serving as a Communications Officer aboard the Bishop for quite some time now. None of you have failed to notice, I am certain, the recent departure of several of our crew members, including our former captain. Due to these changes, I have been promoted to the position of captain.

I wish to assure you, first, that I have no shortage of experience in the role of a commanding officer. I have spent the last several hundred years as a leader, on and off the battle field. Secondly, I wish to welcome you all to come to me with any difficulties you may have, or simply so that we might know one another better. The invitation will remain open as long as I am aboard this vessel.

I look forward to continuing to work with all of you.

[Video, locked to his friends (minus Maglor), if you think he would have included you in the list, you are probably right.]

I have a favor to ask of you, if I might. My cousin, Maglor, has arrived and will, no doubt, have difficulty adjusting at first. [And there’s something else that worries him. How worn Maglor seems at times, how weary. But he is hesitant to speak of that aloud, let alone to a group.] I ask only that you show him the same generosity and kindness that you have shown me in my time here. He is, by and large, an agreeable sort, even if he may be a touch thick-headed at times.

We've met. He's very charming.

[faithfulwisdom]

He has always had a way with words- and with notes. They simply seem to fall into place for him.

[child_of_bhaal]

Oh yes, I found that out right away. [She's so charmed by Maglor, okay.] He's also quite a dancer. He put me through my paces at the party.

[faithfulwisdom]

Somehow, I am not surprised that you two get along well. I thought that might be the case.

[child_of_bhaal]

He's a bard. I was practically smitten at the first.

[She's joking, sort of. Except you could go back and see exactly how immediately delighted she was with Maglor, even before he'd set foot off the Marsiva.

Look she just likes fellow artists.]

super, super late

[faithfulwisdom]

So he is- and, frankly, I am glad to see that he is out and about. He seemed... weary when he first arrived.

shh it's fiiine

[child_of_bhaal]

I wouldn't disagree with that assessment.

[It's part of the reason she'd come at Maglor with such enthusiasm.]

He's promised the two of you would play for me some time.

[The smile she gives Finrod is teasing, but it's true. She was promised this.]

[faithfulwisdom]

Did he now? I will have to speak to him about involving me in promises without speaking to me first. [But the tone in his voice and the sparkle in his eye speaks more of amusement than annoyance.]

But it would be a delight.

[child_of_bhaal]

And sing. I want singing too.

[faithfulwisdom]

You are demanding, aren't you?

[child_of_bhaal]

Only very rarely.

[faithfulwisdom]

Well, I suppose I will have to humor you, then.
