Who: Finwë
Broadcast: yes, fleetwide
Action: Huntress
When: today

[Finwë is very careful with using one hand to use the communicator since there is small sleeping Elf child asleep against him.

There is sorrow in his gaze and in his smile, his hushed tone is heavy.]

It seems I have fallen asleep for a time though I am not sure for how long. When I woke, it seems one of my grandsons have reverted in age- [He looked down at the sleeping Elfling with a fond smile before continuing softly.] -something which I cannot say I can complain about though I hope he does not suffer.

[He shifts Fingon slightly, not wanting to wake him.]

Have any here fallen asleep and then woken with new memories? It seems almost as if it were a dream but I felt as if I had experienced it so vividly.

[He paused, making sure Fingon hadn't woken up before giving a smile, his voice very quiet.]

And please, no loud noises. I would hate to wake my grandson.

[Once Fingon is awake and with another of his grandsons, Finwë took the chance to get up and stretch, to see if anything had changed and to check on the others in the crew.]

And you remember all of that time as you lived it? It seems so strange to live in another place yet still be here physically.

It was as if I'd gone home for ten years, but not even a week had passed here. [ She frowns, lips pursed. ] It was disorientating.

I share the same feeling. I feel as if my mind is still catching up with these new memories. [He's not sure how this is possible to remain here while having experiences back home.]

It'll be like that for a while, but it'll settle. It makes being stuck here worse, though.

Have you been here a long time?

Eight months.

I have only been here a few months myself, as well.

I am Finwe, it is a pleasure to speak with you despite the circumstances.

It feels longer. [ Which she hates, but she can't escape. ] I'm Raven Darkholme. It's nice to meet you.

If you ever are lonely, you are welcome to join my grandsons and I for tea and cakes. There is always plenty to go around. It may help the days not seem so long.

[ Uh. ]

Thank you. [ That's the most polite offer of company she's had in a long time. ] I'd say the same, but my ship is overrun with scientists blowing things up.

We're always glad to have company. And no explosions, I promise. One of my grandsons loves to cook so we always have food to go around.

I'll make sure to stop by, sometime. I'll bring my - boyfriend.

Wonderful! We are on the Huntress, I look forward to seeing you both.
