(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.)

[ Maglor curls into his brother's embrace with a low, contented hum ]

No one could ever be stronger than you, Nelyo.

(He wishes keenly that he could protect Maglor and all of his family like this. It feels much safer when he embraces one he loves, but he knows the feeling is fleeting.)

Who survived it all? Who carried our memory? Who sang to the sea?

[ This is something Maglor never thought he would have again and he is happy to be selfish and cling ]

I...well. I did not...I just did not want to forget...

(Clinging is welcomed! Maedhros rubs over his brother's back, listening intently.)

I cannot blame you. I would not forget any of you either.

[ This time, Maglor lets Maedhros settle him, calming ]

I wanted to make sure... no one else would make the same mistake. And... I did not want... the only memories of you to be as monsters...

Ah do not spend your life bettering our name. We traveled down a path of ruin and we must carry that stain. Make songs of us as we were in Valinor, Kano. Let the rest work itself out.

(He closes his eyes with a sigh.)

I want to... [ He whispers softly, leaning against his brother and listening to his heartbeat ]

It is not right, that they only think of you so badly, and forget all the good things you did.
