(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!)

[ Maglor nods, tension slowly seeping out of his frame ]

Grandfather came by.

[ So he had to at least pretend that he was well ]

[ That gets a betrayed glare ]

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.

[ Maglor frowns - his brother his king should 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 ]

[ Better, and Maglor settles against his side ]

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 ]

You are my brother.

[ Is all the answer Maedhros will get ]

I will never leave you.
bythewaves: (goodbye)

You are my brother.

[ Maglor repeats stubbornly, as if it is all that matters - which it is, to him ]

[ he cannot (does not) hide the hurt in his eyes when Maedhros pulls away, masks immediately starting to slam up, the hurting child fleeing to safety behind the cold prince ]

Of course not. [ He says bitterly ]

I told you all I do was hurt you. What do you want of me?
bythewaves: (whut)

[ Maglor snarls, temper roused ]

Idiot. I have been by your side for so long, what makes you think I want to leave?
bythewaves: (whut)

[ Maglor snarls at him again, thumping him ]

You are my brother! You cradled me as a babe! I could never leave you!
bythewaves: (weep)

[ he fights the hold, eyes silver bright in fury, this time ]

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 ]
bythewaves: (argue)

[ the furious, tear stained glare suggests that the only reason Maglor does not bite is that he has better manners. ]

Yes. [ he snarls when released ]

You always leave me!
bythewaves: (let me rest)

[ No matter how angry his brother's arms around him always bring instant comfort, Maglor latching on ]

Then don't leave me alone again!
