And hiding in a kitchen is the best alternative you could come up with? That's just running away and while I'm sure you've been able to fool yourself I wonder how long that will last.

[If anyone could sense a coping mechanism, it was Hux. Now that he knows he's on the right track he pushes his point home.]

Cake and friends isn't a life and you know that, in some way. No one can be that naive.

{If Fingon's bothered by this observation, it doesn't show.} I could stay on one of the worlds we pass. The trees would doubtlessly welcome me. Instead, I choose to live here and travel through space and all the strange stars. It is enough excitement for now. A bonus is that I have family to travel with me.

{It's more of a life than he'd expected. A breath, and he lets the comment go unsaid. A shrug.} I know it is no life. But for a time, it is an existence I am content to lead.

Are you? You are going around shoving cake at complete strangers no doubt in an effort to fool yourself that you're content.

[He's not expecting anything big from Fingon but he likes to pick at each weakness that he finds.]

You're using others, most likely your family as well, to delude yourself. It's a pathetic charade from someone who is supposed to be a leader.

{A faint frown, Fingon tilts his head a bit to one side.} I only offer cake to those who seem it might cheer them. And as I was assigned to be the cook of my ship, should I not try to feed those around me?

{He has a number of weaknesses, but he's aware of most of them.

Such as his family. He flinches, guilt touching his eyes before he hides it away.}
I do what I must. The doing might not always be pleasant, I acknowledge that.

You're not the cook for the fleet, however.

So you're aware that you use them for your own benefit but I wonder if they are know that. Or perhaps you just say it's for their own good and hope they believe you.

[Brendol Hux may have been an awful parent but at least he had always been honest to a fault, Hux knew that without a doubt. He knew his father had used him, just has he had done in return. It worked for them.]

I am not always on my ship.

{Hux is actually hitting on some things Fingon's expressed to Maedhros.} Those who know me understand. {He hopes. Maglor's masks have become rather strong, it isn't always easy to see past them.}

Now you're just making excuses.

Of course. You can tell yourself that.

[He shrugged, feeling as if he had made his point.]

You have told me more about yourself just now than I could have gotten from pointless small talk.

[No interrogator droid needed.]
