(Open)
Who: Maedhros & Open (except for private part).
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Yes! On S.S. Huntress.
When: Late on the 12th.
(Private to Maglor.)
(This portion is sent as a simple text, devoid of as many emotions as he can spare his Kano.)
May I see you?

(Maedhros is sitting on his bed, his hair brushed and draped over one shoulder. He has a mechanical hand laying beside him and he is preparing to strap it to his arm. It is not often that he shows what is left of that arm - that nub, truly - and the scars are numerous even though the cut that severed it was clean.)
Atar or Curufin would have delighted in this, I think. I feel hardly worthy of it.
(A small, tired smile curls his lips as he, at last, raises his arm, new hand attached. The fingers bend, flexing and he touches them in wonder.)
My thanks to the engineers on our fleet. Your craftsmanship and your patience have left me with a much easier existence.
(OOC: If you would like your particular engineer to have been one of the ones who aided Maedhros, assume it is so!)

(Action)
Have you ate? Have you rested?
(Action)
Grandfather came by.
[ So he had to at least pretend that he was well ]
(Action)
He knows us as we were, Kano. I told him some of how we treated one another and how I must make amends...
He was certain our love outweighed all else. I think, perhaps, that is why we hurt one another so efficiently. Our hearts speak directly.
(Action)
I do not wish him to worry!
[ But he accepts being led, and the blanket, providing Maedhros settles next to him ]
We have too much of father's fire to do otherwise.
(Action)
(Sighing, he smiles sadly.)
A quality I do not wholly dislike.
(action)
his kingshould never kneel - and he pulls at him demandingly ]You should still not give him further cause of concern.
We are our father's sons. [ He agrees ]
(action)
It is difficult when I fear losing you.
(action)
You will not lose me. [ He says tiredly ] I am your shadow, your right hand. I am always the one left behind.
[ He means them, he always has, but the words taste of ashes, the burden wearisome ]
(action)
That brings you no joy; no happiness.
(action)
[ Is all the answer Maedhros will get ]
I will never leave you.
(action)
I'm not worth it.
(action)
[ Maglor repeats stubbornly, as if it is all that matters - which it is, to him ]
(action)
His grip tightens on the back of Maglor's shirt, desperate to hang on and then he releases the fabric, dropping his hand away.)
This is not healing.
(action)
Of course not. [ He says bitterly ]
I told you all I do was hurt you. What do you want of me?
(action)
You only speak the truth. Your bond to me has been twisted and corrupted. I tricked you and lied to you; I used your good heart against you.
I do not wish to hurt you more, Maglor, but if you wish to be free of me, say so.
(action)
Idiot. I have been by your side for so long, what makes you think I want to leave?
(action)
(action)
You are my brother! You cradled me as a babe! I could never leave you!
(action)
Out of duty, Kano? You owe me nothing for cradling you.
Re: (action)
Who said anything about duty? You are my brother, I have known your Song since my earliest days. Do you truly think I follow you out of duty?!
[ On the last word his voice cracks, tears threatening at the thought that his brother thinks so little of him ]
(action)
(He sighs and before Maglor can interrupt, he covers his mouth.)
I understand that when you return, I will not be there. Is that why you keep your distance? So you will not cause yourself more pain?
Re: (action)
Yes. [ he snarls when released ]
You always leave me!
(action)
I am a fool and a coward, but I want to stay with you, Kano.
(action)
Then don't leave me alone again!
(action)
Would you like for me to share a room with you? I do not mind sleeping on the floor.
