[The heat rises in her cheeks, both from getting caught staring and from that name... "Doctor Beverly." Thoughts of Odan seem to be cropping up more these days, after Ezri arrived.]

No! No... you look good in them. [Too good, is the problem.] I was just... surprised, is all.

[bythewaves]

Oh good. [ Maglor shyly figets with the buttons on the jacket ]

Misty wanted me to wear them - she said I should... 'look the part' and 'fit in better'....

[dancingmd]

Well, if there's anybody here who is an expert on rock music, it's probably her.

[She can't help but grin a little.]

So it's best to listen to what she says, I think.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor fidgets a little and then grins shyly at her ]

She does have a good ear for what I might like to hear, as well. This place is very interesting, all told.

[dancingmd]

I think so too. And hopefully you don't feel... Quite as overwhelmed here?

[bythewaves]

[ He nods ]

It is much easier here - what Songs there are are not as insistent.

[dancingmd]

Good. I don't want you getting lost to us.

[bythewaves]

[ He smiles shyly at her ]

No fear of that here. The music here reminds me more of the Shire - lively and playful.

[dancingmd]

It is a lot of fun, isn't it? If a little... different than what I'm used to. I went to one of the concerts here with Charles and it was quite the experience!

[bythewaves]

It is, yes - milady Misty has had a lot of fun dragging me to things, I think, and I have enjoyed them as well. Are you and Charles planning to see others?

[dancingmd]

Maybe. I would like to, at any rate. I always have a good time with him.

[bythewaves]

Oh, really? Are the two of you considering a deeper relationship than friendship?

[dancingmd]

Ah...

[Soft regret fills her smile.]

No... No nothing like that.

[bythewaves]

[ His eyes gentle ]

I misspoke, forgive me. I am glad the two of you may find comfort as friends, even so.

[dancingmd]

Oh no, there's no need to apologize. It's a natural enough question and... maybe in different circumstances the answer would be different. But the situation is... complicated, to say the least.

[bythewaves]

I am sorry all the same. [ He reaches over to touch her hand in sympathy ]

I would that you find happiness.

[dancingmd]

[She rubs her thumb across his knuckles in gratitude.]

I've been able to find more happiness here than I would have ever imagined I could, when I first arrived.

[bythewaves]

That is well, and I am glad to know that you have found some solace here. I only wish I could give you more.

[dancingmd]

You give me plenty!

[bythewaves]

I am glad to know that. [ He smiles ]

Are you thinking of gathering some of these for your garden?

[dancingmd]

[She nods eagerly.]

Of course I'll have to build a special section for them, where it's nice and dark and cool, but don't you think they'll look lovely? Like a little bit of the stars, right inside the ship!

[bythewaves]

Very much so.

[ He agrees, and then adds wryly ]

When they grow, you will have to pry Fingon out of there with a stick, for he loves their light. Possibly, you might have to extricate Maedhros and I, as well.

[dancingmd]

I can imagine worse fates than three elves living in my garden.

[bythewaves]

You say that now... [ Maglor laughs softly ]

[dancingmd]

I ought to spend some time with them anyway. They are your family after all.
