Who: Maedhros & You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Huntress
When: August 27th

I do not know who this might effect, but I thought it polite to inform you that I am now part of the Huntress's crew. (He had been aboard the S.S. Bishop before.) Furthermore, I have informed myself on what might be possible for...something I lack.

Those who have knowledge of mechanics - particularly where artificial limbs are concerned - are of great interest to me. My name is Maedhros or Maitimo and I wish to speak to you at your earliest convenience.

[castintoflames]

You never do! (He teases and gently tugs on one of Maglor's ears.) I do this out of love, Kano; not because you deserve punishment.

[bythewaves]

[ The tug garners a yelp and a pout ]

Nelyo!

[castintoflames]

(His grin is unapologetic.)

Yes?

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor huffs at him in a sulk ]

You know I hate it when you do that!

[castintoflames]

(Now this isn't playing fair! He suddenly looks unsure, frowning.)

I am certain no one was watching.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor's pout softens at his brother's worry ]

It's alright, Nelyo, I forgive you. But they're sensitive you know! [ But he leans against his brother again to show he bears no ill will ]

[castintoflames]

Are they? I had forgotten! (Says the Elf who endured a certain Valar or Maiar cutting one of his ears in half.) But they are so nicely shaped. How can I resist touching them?

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor shakes his head but squeezes his brother's hand comfortingly ]

At least you didn't do it in public! [ But there's a laugh in his voice - he doesn't mind that much, truly ]

[castintoflames]

Nearly public. (They are not hidden in some room. His gaze softens and he chuckles.) Thank you, Kano.

[bythewaves]

No one is watching, it's not public. [ Maglor grins back ]

What do you want to do, later?

NOT HUNT DRAGONS?

[castintoflames]

In that case... (He wraps an arm around his brother and nuzzles their heads together.)

I'm visiting Grandfather. Would you like to come with me?

SORRY WHAT WAS THAT COULDN'T QUITE HEAR YOU...

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor nuzzles back with a happy noise, only to pull a face ]

I suppose, but only if you stop him feeding me.

I KNOW IT'S HARD TO HEAR OVER YOUR BAD DECISIONS, BUT TRY!

[castintoflames]

(Maedhros kisses his cheek, grinning at that face.)

I cannot make any promises, but I have asked for his aid, so perhaps his attention will be focused more on me?

SORRY BUSY DODGING DRAGON FIRE PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE TONE

[bythewaves]

[ Maedhros can have a pout in return ]

Hopefully! I am not a babe to be fed!

KANO. YOU ARE SO GROUNDED.

[castintoflames]

You are much taller than a babe. (As if that's the only difference.)

DID YOU SAY SOMETHING I MISSED IT UNDER THE DRAGON ROARING

[bythewaves]

I should hope so! Tis bad enough I worry you enough to make you fret, I do not need grandfather as well!

I SWEAR TO ERU.

[castintoflames]

He will fret for you no matter what you do or say, Kano. (It comes with love and family.)

LALALALALA NOT LISTENING~

[bythewaves]

I know. [ He wrinkles his nose and sighs gustily ]

But it feels as if he does not want to realise... that too much time has passed. I ... I cannot be Makalaure any longer. And... and... it is unfair of me, for he loves me, I know, but... it ... it is almost too much.

TIME TO CONQUER THE DRAGON.

[castintoflames]

(He softens at the explanation and kisses Maglor's forehead.)

Let him see you as you are now. Be yourself. You are no less precious and I would argue, you are more precious as you stand before me.

look at least he didn't get injured this time?

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor huffs and admits quietly ]

You all are a bit... too much. I... it has been a long time since I have... had ... family. I am being ungrateful.

...that's something. Not much. But something.

[castintoflames]

I know. (He isn't surprised. Being around anyone is difficult, but family...

It has been a long, long time for him and even longer for Maglor.) You are not ungrateful, toron; you are learning something you - and I - have forgotten.

can he be ungrounded now?

[bythewaves]

I love you all, I do. But... [ He looks away, ashamed ] Sometimes... sometimes I ... wish you would all leave me alone.

...only if he pinky swears to be good.

[castintoflames]

(Pain flashes in Maedhros's eyes and he steps back, however he quickly controls the emotion, nodding.)

All you need do is ask.

............define "good"....

[bythewaves]

No! [ Instant panic in Maglor's and he reaches for his brother pleadingly ]

Not you! I don't mean it, Nelyo, truly I don't. I just... everyone is worried and... and it's... overwhelming. That's all. But don't go!

NO HUNTING DRAGONS.

[castintoflames]

(He frowns, torn, however that pleading and the hands reaching for him cannot be ignored. He grabs onto one hand, squeezing gently.)

We should get some fresh air. Being together on a ship at all hours will drive us madder.
