Why you should never give an elf a Vuvuzela, a treatise

[bythewaves]

Who: Maglor and all of you
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Huntress
When: Right Now

[ The gift basket got a curious look, and Maglor fished idly through it before uncovering some odd instruments.

Which he tries.

So sorry, everyone on the Huntress, you just got disturbed by the most annoying sound in the world

Later on, he'll also try some of the other instruments, which will lead to the whole Fleet being "treated" to ... well something rather unexpected from an elf ]

You were not as small as these Hobbits are bound to be! But, yes, I think it is best Tyelko never had children of his own.

Well, he never lost any of his pets... [ Maglor allows with a laugh ]

He might have been very responsible!

(Action)

[castintoflames]

They were valued more by him, I think. (Not that he can hold that against him. Young bear cubs and little wolf pups are rather irresistible.)

Re: (Action)

I'm sure he would have valued children too! But then again, his babysitting of Tyelko was always something of an adveture.

(Action)

[castintoflames]

I would have trusted him with a child before - (The madness set in.) Back when he was sweet and curious.

(Action)

AS would I... with qualifications! Such as always having Huan handy.

(Action)

[castintoflames]

Ah Huan. Such a good hound. (So smart too.) I would like to see hounds the size of him again.

(Action)

[bythewaves]

So good at finding misplaced younger brothers. [ Maglor agrees dryly ]

As would I! I would have loved to have been able to gift such a hound to Elrond and Elros.

(Action)

[castintoflames]

One of Huan's children would have suited them! Or two! One for each of them. (Maedhros beams. Small sweet pups that grew to enormous sizes.)

Re: (Action)

Two would have been perfect! [ He agrees ]

One for each! Although I suppose we might have had trouble feeding two such bottomless stomachs.

(Action)

[castintoflames]

The effort would have been nothing compared to how happy Elrond and Elros would have been. Besides, such hounds should serve Kings and Lords.

(Action)

[bythewaves]

This is true! Companions and champions. Ah, but they would have been such a sight!

(Action)

[castintoflames]

I wondered why Huan's equal - in female form - did not exist. Tis a shame.

(Action)

[bythewaves]

I... in honesty? I had always wondered if Huan was... not actually a hound, if you get my meaning. I was never entirely sure he was not a maia.

(Action)

[castintoflames]

That is entirely possible. It would explain why he was one of a kind. (Maedhros smiles suddenly.) He could still live.

[ Maglor opens his mouth to object and then looks thoughtful ]

... That... is a good point. He falls out of the stories, after all. Maybe he just... went home.

(Action)

[castintoflames]

As he deserved. (He chuckles softly.) Perhaps even now he keeps Tyelko company, bounding through the Halls.

(Action)

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor hums happily at the thought ]

That would make him happy - he was hurt so badly when Huan left him.

(Action)

[castintoflames]

I can think of no beast more forgiving than dogs, can you? (Once their brother learned his error, Huan would return.) They must be together.

(Action)

[bythewaves]

I hope so. I really hope so. It will be the best healing we could ask for.

(Action)

[castintoflames]

Unsought kindness is everywhere, I've found.

(Action)

[bythewaves]

Let us hope it is so in Mandos, as well.

(Action)

[castintoflames]

Most of all there! Souls need it.

(Action)

[bythewaves]

That is true - and us perhaps more than others.

The cursed...

The tortured...

Lord Námo knows pity.
