Who: Fingon & You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: Huntress.
When: Today!

{Fingon has been spending most of his time not cooking or baking, or with his cousins, with his grandfather. Finwë hasn't been awake in a painful amount of time for an Elf, and Fingon's done his best to keep calm and keep watch over him. Mostly braiding his grandfather's hair, sewing, singing or playing his harp - the latter he makes sure to stay quiet, to avoid disturbing those sleeping or otherwise resting.

As the time has dragged on though, he's growing more and more concerned and has to speak up.}

Is it common for people to fall asleep and not wake, regardless of what is done to try and wake them?

{Fingon ducks his head as he leans against his cousin.}

That would be nice. {He smiles, taking a sip.}

I believe so. He does not seem distressed, only asleep.

(He shifts and offers his shoulder to Fingon, resting his cheek against the top of his head.)

I cannot promise it will be good. (Cooking is an art and he knows he isn't quite suited to it.)

May his dreams be pleasant, then. (He squeezes Finwë's hand.) We can go a long while without food. Do not worry overmuch for him, Finno.

{Fingon is quick to relax against him, hiding a fond grin by taking a second sip.} You will do your best, Maitimo. That is all that matters to me.

{He looks to their grandfather.} I only...miss him.

Will you feel so forgiving after I poison you accidentally? (He attempts a lighter tone, warmed by how Fingon trusts in him. He will never feel he deserves it.)

Finno... (Maedhros gently turns Fingon so he is facing him.) I cannot imagine the burden on his shoulders, can you? His children and his grandchildren have always fought; always made horrible decisions. I fear all I have brought him is grief.

But you are different. When he wakes, I want you to smile for him.

If that happens, it is a good thing we are Elves! I would still not blame you. {Fingon refuses to have his spirits dampened so!

He's easily turned, his attention turns to Maedhros before he frowns.} Not always. We bring him grief, but also love. Do you not see how deeply he loves us all? He wants us to be happy and safe. When he wakes, we should both smile for him.

Will you do that for him with me?

For your kindness, I shall do my best to keep you well. (His smile is sweeter, but then he frowns lightly.)

I see it and it... (He cannot look at Fingon directly as he continues.) It reminds me of you. That sort of love warms me and I know I would be miserable without it, but it makes me sad too. I feel I have taken it for granted.

(Slowly, he nods.) I will try.

As you always have.

{There's a warm glow at Maedhros' comparison before it fades to concern. Fingon reaches to brush hair from his cousin's face.} You give us your love just as we give you ours. I feel this place has given us all a second chance, do you plan to throw it away?

I believe in you.

I must learn to live with what I have done. I cannot forget it and I haven't a clue how I would ever forgive myself. I see Kano struggling with that burden constantly. I wish I could lead him out of the Darkness instead of us depending so heavily on your Light...

On Grandfather's Light. (He leans into the touch and closes his eyes.) I need that. I need you and when Grandfather is awake, I know I shall feel better.
