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 ]

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

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.

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.)

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!

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)

[ 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.

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.

(Action)

[bythewaves]

Little pity, he promised, but little is not none.

[ He nods ]

(Action)

[castintoflames]

What is little to one is much to another. We have been brought low enough to appreciate the smallest of gestures.

Re: (Action)

I am so glad it is the Halls and not the Dark to which our brothers were gathered! At least they are safe and have a chance to heal. That is mercy and kindness both.

(Action)

[castintoflames]

I have hope they will be reborn in Valinor once they have paid their dues. Lord Námo will see to their peace, I trust. Our brothers are beautiful and kind.

Re: (Action)

I hope for that too. Amil deserves to have her family again.

(Action)

[castintoflames]

She will be surrounded by her sons and teach them better ways.
