(Video: Open)

[castintoflames]

Who: Maedhros & YOU
Broadcast: Fleet-Wide.
Action: Open to HS Bishop/whoever comes to visit?
When: Evening.

(Frustration is bound to get the better of Maedhros. He does not come from a patient family and the ships offer new obstacles to someone who is missing a hand. Currently, his hair is damp, his pale, freckled skin rosy from a fresh wash.)

Orro, none of this was made for one my size! (He tugs on a shirt that is not exactly the right length. It reveals part of his nearly-emaciated abdomen.)

Does anyone have suggestions? I can barely care for myself in these confines. (And that is...aggravating. Very much so.)

Atar? Toron? Cousin? (This is him waving the white flag for day to day tasks. Either he is going to cut his hair or have to (embarrassingly) ask someone to help him braid it.)

[She's none of those people, but it does sound like a general call for assistance.]

There's a tailor on the planet. Perhaps you could have something made?

[castintoflames]

(He starts at the sound of a female voice, not expecting it.)

...ah that's a good idea. I think my measurements will give them a challenge.

[video]

[child_of_bhaal]

[Oops.]

Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

[video]

[castintoflames]

(It has been a long time since he has been around the fairer sex, Syeira.)

No, it was my fault. You are kind to answer.

[video]

[child_of_bhaal]

[You're about 100x fairer than she is Maedhros. Probably more than 100x.]

Let's call it no fault then, since we both feel the need to claim it. And I'm glad to help. I'd have offered to help more directly, but the only sewing I'm good at is mending.

[And this would be Finrod leaning in from the doorway.]

You should have clothes made to your specifications. I had to do much the same; I cannot imagine the trouble you are having.

[He frowns.] You should also eat more than you have been. [Not that he's going to fuss or anything.]

[castintoflames]

(Maedhros jumps a little, frowning until his cousin speaks.)

I think you can imagine. (His head is sore from bumping into so many things.) Hm?

(The food comment gets an almost blank stare. He knows he should eat more. It's just...rather like learning to fly for him.)

Apparently he's going to be a little shit

[faithfulwisdom]

Food. [He makes a motion as if spooning food into his mouth.] You remember- that substance you eat. It's necessary to survive. You should make an effort to consume more of it.

I'd like to keep you alive and see you recover. Do not make me give you my own cooking; you will regret it, trust me.

>8| He can handle it.

[castintoflames]

Necessary to survive, yes, and if I had not been eating enough to survive, I would not be here. (He looks amused despite his flat tone. So few use sarcasm on him anymore.)

What do you cook?

[faithfulwisdom]

[What are cousins for, if not aiming sarcasm at you when no one else will?] You could stand to be a little more here, if you ask me.

I do not cook anything exceedingly well- a soup or stew now and again. You would be better off watching for the cooks, in all honesty. Belthazar, in particular, should be easy for you to spot. He is a small elven boy- not one of the Eldar, but an elf of another world.

Oh brother, I am so sorry! I forgot. [ Too busy playing with the planet ]

Here, I will come over and help you with your hair. I should ask if we can be transferred to the same ship, I think. [ Although he quite likes his ship ]

video

[castintoflames]

Why are you apologizing? I never - (Another soft curse as he hits his elbow on a wall.) - asked before now.

(He rubs his arm.) I would transfer to your ship, but what about Findaráto?

video

[bythewaves]

I should have remembered that you needed the help. [ Maglor frets ] You should not have needed to ask. I am so sorry.

[castintoflames]

Kano, breathe. I am grown - not some wayward Elfling. (Be careful or he is gonna crush you in a hug!)

[Video]

[burnstoohot]

[It's not just Maedhros as the impatient one of their family at least?]

I come, Nelyo. We will come up with a solution.

[He won't leave his boy to fend for himself, okay?]

[Video]

[castintoflames]

(Oh Eru help him. He hates asking for help, but this is ridiculous and embarrassing.)

Will you shrink me?

[Video]

[burnstoohot]

[No, baby, papa's here to help!]

No. You are perfect as you are. This world is simply too small.

[Video]

[castintoflames]

Ah so we are blaming the ships? (That earns a smile.)

[thetruehistorian]

A bit of a giant, are you? Or perhaps part fishman? [The pointy ears in an otherwise human face have Robin a little baffled.]

video;

[castintoflames]

Giants are far taller than me - and broader too, but if you mean I am tall, yes. (One of his ears is missing the tip, so it is less pointed, but the other one is intact.)

video;

[thetruehistorian]

How odd. That height accommodations can't be made. It seems that'd be easier than, say, a dorsal fin.

video;

[castintoflames]

Why would I have a dorsal fin?

_{[ Oh dear. His state was concerning, but the easier issue to address was the clothes rather than please go see a doctor immediately and start eating real food stat. ]}

There might be something more to your size down on the planet, or it can be made. And on the planet you can stretch your legs.

/HUGS

[castintoflames]

(He does eat real food. Just...not nearly enough for his frame.)

I am venturing to the planet with a lady. I shall see if a tailor can rectify my...discomfort.

Re: /HUGS

[universal_charm]

_{[ Well, they can correct that now, can't they? ]}

I am sure they can. Or if not, a friend of mine is a really good tailor. You could ask him to make some things for you. He crafted gowns for the girls when we had a party to attend, so male clothing should be much easier.
