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?

(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.

[Oops.]

Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

(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.

[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.]

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 ]

(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.)

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?

(Not with all his scars and missing parts. Once, he would have been stunning. Now he's more...scary.)

And I would ask you if you knew how to braid hair, but Elves are...particular...about such matters.

(His features soften.)

I may need mending if I regain the body I had once. (Certain shirts will be far too small.)

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

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

But I should have remembered. [ Maglor says brokenly ] That was what I was supposed to do. I was suppose to remember you.

You were supposed to remember your clumsy, too tall brother having trouble bathing himself?

(His lips twitch in amusement.)

[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?]

I forgot that you can't do your hair by yourself. [ No absolutely not going to fall for your cheer-him-up gimmick! ]

I should have remembered that. Such a little thing. I... what use am I if I forget?

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

Will you shrink me?

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

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

It seems a minute quality. I would much rather you remember me as strong and capable.

(His eyes shine with affection.)

You are my beloved brother and friend. I do not judge you based on your use.

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

[Good~]

Should we not? They should provide better for those they steal from home.

I cannot argue with your logic. (But that is no reason to destroy or make improvements, Atar!)

I do! Nelyo is always Nelyo. But... [ Sometimes I cannot remember the exact color of your hair, or the shade of your eyes, or the sound of your laugh... ]

Can you come to me or shall I come to you?

I can come. [ And he does!

Also it gives him time to sit in the shuttle and remind himself not to panic and that Nelyo is still here and he has time to remember him again ]

Nelyo?
