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.

[ 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.
