Who: Maedhros
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Not right off the bat, but that can change in the threads.
When: Early Evening.

(Trimming hair is easier said than done, but the tall Elf has done an...admirable...job? Shhh don't tell him it's uneven in parts. He sets down a pair of scissors and cocks his head, peering at himself in a mirror.)

I must have been...angled...incorrectly. (His left hand doesn't quite smack his face, but it does try to cover it as his ears go red.)

It was getting too long, you see. I became tangled in it every morn and the brushing of it was a painful business.

(Clearly annoyed, he grabs a brush, sets about smoothing it and puts it all in a ponytail. Some of the strands are rebellious, however, and fall out of the ribbon to frame his face. The tickling sensation annoys him more and he tries to tuck them, instead, behind his ears. His mangled ear doesn't make a proper perch for the copper strands and some of them fall right back where they started.)

Aica umbar!

[ Maglor laughs up at him, relaxing easily in his arms ]

I knew you'd catch me. [ He says fondly ]

[castintoflames]

(He lifts him all the way at that, kissing his cheek.)

It's just an excuse to hug you.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor smiles and reaches to hug him back ]

It's a good excuse.

[castintoflames]

(He chuckles and leans their heads together.)

Any excuse for that is good.

[bythewaves]

I'm glad you think so. [ Maglor smiles and his eyes slide shut, content ]

I love you, Nelyo.

[castintoflames]

I told you when you were small that you gave the best embraces. (Maedhros hums, smiling helplessly.) I love you too, Kano.

[bythewaves]

[ he ducks, shyly ]

Yours were better.

[castintoflames]

(He kisses the bridge of Maglor's nose, chuckling.)

My size helps in that regard.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor laughs softly in return ]

It rather does. I am only glad I am not actually the shortest!

[castintoflames]

There is no shame in being the shortest, Kano. (It just means more embraces from big brother!)

[bythewaves]

Shame? No. [ He grins up at him ]

Anoyance, maybe.

[castintoflames]

That is why I have dedicated myself to reaching all the items on top shelves! Doesn't that make the annoyance less?

[bythewaves]

It rather does help!

[castintoflames]

Good! Then my efforts have not gone to waste over the years.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor gives in and hugs him ]

Never wasted, Nelyo. Never.

[castintoflames]

(He nuzzles the side of his head, beaming.)

I'm relieved! Your actions are not wasted either.

[bythewaves]

[ Yay nuzzles! ]

Can I... stay here for a while?

[castintoflames]

(He softens and smiles gently.)

Stay the evening if you want.

[bythewaves]

Thank you.

[ Maglor hums happily ]

I know you and Finno are busy, but I miss you, sometimes.

[castintoflames]

Kano, we are not that busy! (He is turning interesting shades of red.) You can visit me anytime you like!

[bythewaves]

[ That is totally not a smirk you are imagining things ]

I did not wish to intrude!

[castintoflames]

(Brother!)

You would not. If...

The door would be locked.

[bythewaves]

[ He is a younger brother, this is part of his job, did you not pay attention to the contract ]

Like I said. I did not wish to intrude!

[castintoflames]

(He never read the contract in full, honestly. In his excitement, he had taken a lot on faith!)

You wouldn't. You couldn't. He and I don't...

[bythewaves]

[ Too bad for him then!

Maglor laughs and takes pity on him ]

It's fine Nelyo. I'm a grown ner now! You don't have to dance around the topic with me.
