Who: Maedhros & Open
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Yes! On the planet~
When: The 17th.

(There is a tall Elf amongst the wreckage, a gun at his side. His eyes are unfocused and there is a strain to his features as if he is listening to something hard to distinguish.)

I do not like the Song of this world. Have others noticed it? (Elven ears are sensitive to such things and this Song is one of...calling? Summoning?

It wishes to keep us. The thought comes unprovoked and his grip tightens on his gun.)

I would not spend overlong looking amongst the wreckage. I cannot say if it is possible for you to forget you are part of the fleet, but -

(It is not impossible and that concerns him. Leaving anyone behind brings back bad memories.)

I stand ready to guard anyone who wishes to explore, however. Tell me of your arrival and I will meet you.

Comments

You said I could. :3

[valiantfire]

{That is not good.}

Kano, would you come to me please? You are needed.

Heee

[bythewaves]

Why? What is wrong?

[valiantfire]

I dare not say it over this cold device, cousin. Please be quick!

[bythewaves]

[ a frown but slowly, he nods ]

Alright. Where are you? [ he always did put his family above all else ]

[valiantfire]

{Fingon knows. He feels bad for calling on it, but it's important to get Maglor away from this place as quickly as possible.}

By the ruins of the great ship.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor frowns ]

I don't like it there. The trees say it isn't safe. You should go away from it.

[valiantfire]

Ah {a hint embarrassed} that is why I need you, cousin.

[bythewaves]

[ worry sparks in his eyes, and now he starts moving with intent ]

Are you hurt?

[valiantfire]

No, I am unharmed. {Fingon can't - won't - lie outright.} But I am somewhat stuck. {If only because he won't leave without Maglor.}

[bythewaves]

Alright. I will be there soon.

[ and he will be, moving elven swift, but the leaves are still in his eyes even as he breaks free of the canopy ]

Fingon?

[valiantfire]

Thank you.

{Fingon is there, in the shadow of the ship. As close to it as he dares.}

Here. {He reaches for Maglor, wordless request to be helped away from the ship. It's no lie that the ship makes him uncomfortable.}

[bythewaves]

What's wrong?

[ Maglor goes straight to his side, unquestioning, eyes searching for what is holding his cousin ]

[valiantfire]

{Fingon wraps his arms around his cousin with a low sigh of relief.} I need your strength in leaving this world, cousin. The Shadow... Will you help me?

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor hugs him back ]

You are stronger than any Shadow. The trees will protect us.

[ he tugs back in the direction of the woods ]

[valiantfire]

{Fingon snuggles into Maglor's arms and lets himself be tugged away from the ship.}

I want to return to space, Kano... It might be colder up there, but there is less Shadow.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor falters ]

I...don't want to go back.

[valiantfire]

I know. {a hug} But we must.

[bythewaves]

[ there is a stubborn set to his mouth now ]

Why? Why can't I stay?d

[valiantfire]

Because I need you with me, and I will not remain here.

[bythewaves]

You don't need me, you have Nelyo.

[valiantfire]

I need you both. You and he are my dearest friends and I love you.

[bythewaves]

You don't need me. I am...a burden.

[valiantfire]

I am more a burden than you have ever been. I have always relied on you and Nelyo, running to you as a child for safety and love.

[bythewaves]

You and Nelyo have each other, you don't need me.

[ he is pulling away, a sardonic twist to his mouth ]

I am too broken, now, to be the older cousin you remember.
