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.

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

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

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.

(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.

[ 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.

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.

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

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

All you need do is ask.

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!

(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.

[ Maglor relaxes when he does and nods, agreeably ]

Why don't we go down to the planet, then? Finrod says that Moxie is good for music.

It was made for you, then. (Maedhros pauses and closes his eyes.) I meant what I said. All you need do is ask if you want space.

Spirit would probably protest. [ Maglor says shyly ] They already claimed me, and I do love their libraries. But Finrod is happy in Moxie - we can always visit.

[ He drops his head ] I made you unhappy. I'm sorry, Nelyo. I don't mean it, truly I don't.

A visit hurts no one. (He has been rather skittish of the planets in general, but it's time that changed.)

It's not about me. (Deep down, he's glad Maglor is honest with him and they know better than most that the truth often hurts.) If I had known -

We were all we had for so long and then you were alone. I can understand you becoming accustomed to that.

I would like that.

[ He looks up at his brother earnestly ]

But I still hurt you - I'm always doing things that hurt you, I'm sorry, Nelyo.

We are not...right. Even when we're happy, we're not right. (He frowns, trying to find the best words for what he feels; what he knows.) I want to hold you and Grandfather and our cousins so tight and at the same time, push you far from me.

I can say it's because I want to protect you, but that's not it. My spirit is like a fickle flame.

[ Maglor nods, relaxing now that Maedhros has voiced the same concerns ]

Yes. It is the same for me... I ... need you close, but... at the same time it is hard.

How can I help you? (Truly, he is willing to do anything.) If we need to...play it by ear...I do not mind.

Just...give ne time? I ... I have moods, but I really missed you, Nelyo.

You can have all the time you need, I promise. (He exhales.) I'm sorry I failed you.

I know you couldn't help it. I forgave you long ago, Nelyo.

It is only because your heart is so big, Kano, that you forgave me.

How could I not, when I came to understand how much it cost you to even try and stay with me?

It wasn't you or staying with you, Kano. It was...life. I was dead tired of it. (His lips twitch at the pun.)

[ Maglor swats his brother fondly and leans against him ]

I know. I felt that too. But I was always too afraid to follow.

DID YOU SAY SOMETHING I MISSED IT UNDER THE DRAGON ROARING

I SWEAR TO ERU.

LALALALALA NOT LISTENING~

TIME TO CONQUER THE DRAGON.

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

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

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

BUT WHAT IF THE DRAGONS ARE BAD

WE'VE DONE ENOUGH. AND IF WE HAVE TO, WE'LL GO TOGETHER.
