(Open)

Who: Maedhros & Open
Broadcast: Marsiva
Action: On the Marsiva.
When: Evening

(A voice, beginning softly and then rising in volume, can be heard aboard the Marsiva this eve. Technology brings it to others - the ship is large - not that the singer entirely notices. A bright tumble of fiery hair obscures the picture momentarily before a certain tall Elf steps back. Yet the singing continues and Maedhros's eyes are distant, lost in memory.

The notes reach pitches that are almost keening, but the melody always softens, always returns to a pleasant level. Until the end, that is. The keening returns, then, and the Elf shows his prowess with song - something he will deny until death and beyond - by singing notes that are quick and passionate like flames. His eyes reflect despair and grief before assuming a look of grim determination.

But every song must end and his cannot carry on. He absently brushes back his hair - which is loose from all braids - and finishes securing his prosthetic arm in place.)

[...]

That ... that was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.

[The clock wipes tears from his eyes.]

Gorgeous just - just gorgeous.

Oh, ah, does he sing as well or did he ... write that?

[It was beautiful. Like an angel singing.]

Aaaaah, then he is truly blessed with music. [Cogsworth smiles softly, wiping his teary eyes.]

It was ... luminescent.

You know, you are not the first person to tell me this! I am rather my own metronome. [He snickers softly, before he beams.]

No ... like sunlight.

I will happily tick-tock for whomever needs it. I am a big proponent on practice makes perfect, after all.

No, more like the sunlight that comes through a stained glass window. Soft, warm, filled with all kinds of multi-colored brilliance.

Well then you were a very smart teacher indeed.

[He beams at the softened tone.]

You are most welcome. And thanking someone is never silly.

The world is cruel, sadly. I'm sure you did your best in a bad situation.

[Whatever that situation was.]

...I see. No, no I do not hear that at all.

Oh, absolutely not a problem. I promise that if I recognize any of them, then I shall invite them to speak while they find their footing. Even more so, whatever I have learned, I will pass on.

OH! Well, yes, absolutely easy.

[Cogsworth stared at Maedhros's ear for a moment, and then smiled.] Your ears are quite charming!

[personal profile] timelysteward 2017-07-18 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Oh ...

[Cogsworth brought his brass hands to his mouth, before his expression became Quite Angry.]

Why, if I ever find who did that to your ear, I shall give them a solid tongue-lashing, and a good boot to the arse!
