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.

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.

WHOO SUCCESS!

[ 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.

He better be glad he's cute.

[castintoflames]

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

/trollface

[bythewaves]

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

/pokes nose

[castintoflames]

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

Squeaks!

[bythewaves]

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

:3

[castintoflames]

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

Flails!

[bythewaves]

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

/hugs

[castintoflames]

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.

-w-

[castintoflames]

(The swat earns a small, teasing nose wrinkle before Maedhros slips an arm around his brother.)

Good. Death is nothing I wish on you.

<3

[bythewaves]

You told me not to follow... but I wanted to Nelyo. I'd always followed you everywhere, and then you forbade me...

[castintoflames]

I forbid you still. (His voice is quiet, but stern.) Do not follow me to the Halls of Mandos.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor sighs ]

I will try, Nelyo.

[castintoflames]

Try your hardest. (He swallows with difficulty.) I ask this of you knowing it is selfish, Kano. But I do not want that final curse upon your fëa.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor nods slowly ]

I do try, Nelyo. And I will. But I... it is very hard, some days.

[castintoflames]

Only my brave Kano could do this. (He holds him closer for a moment.)

[bythewaves]

I do not feel brave, only tired. [ Maglor curls into his hold ]

[castintoflames]

Then rest with me or Grandfather or anyone you feel comfortable around. My voice is not like yours, but I would sing for you.

[bythewaves]

You have a perfectly good voice! I wish you would sing more.

[castintoflames]

I would sing for you as much as you like. Just ask.

[bythewaves]

[ A sly smile ]

Will you sing me our song?

[castintoflames]

Oh no, not that one. (He can only put up a slight resistance.)

[bythewaves]

Please? [ Innocent batting of eyes goes here ]

[castintoflames]

(As if he can resist.) If anyone overhears...
