A promise made is a promise kept. Even... weird ones.

Who: Maglor and you
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Huntress
When: Now

[ The video flips on to Maglor carefully setting his communicator down. He waves at the camera. ]

This is for Vash.

[ He tells everyone cheerfully and then backs away, gesturing behind him, to where a vuvuzela sits calmly on a table. Nothing special to see here. He walks away, from the communicator, picks up the vuvuzela, and then the shappy mop of pink on the table, that turns out to be a wig. He straps that to the vuvuzela, comes back and picks up the communicator, and starts to walk ]

As requested, we are conducting an experiment, to see if the wig stays on.

[ He stops by the airlock, where there is a bit of fumbling around, and then the vuvuzela, complete with wig, is shown drifting off into space. The communicator stays on it until it's vanished into the distance. And then Maglor turns around, and you can hear him sigh.

The same vuvuzela, complete with wig, is lying on the floor behind him ]

And now we know.

[ CLICK. Yes. That's literally the entire reason for this post. Blame Vash. ]

[ Darn ]

Then we shall have to agree to disagree!

[castintoflames]

If that does not hurt your feelings, Kano. (Has it ever?)

[bythewaves]

Nelyo, you are asking me if it will upset me that you think so highly of me when I don't?

[ Lauuuuuughing ]

[castintoflames]

It has led to an argument - no matter how silly it may be! (Maedhros smirks.)

[bythewaves]

Then I forgive you for the argument, but refuse to change my mind!

[castintoflames]

Once your mind is made, no force can undo it, this is true! At least I know you are you.

[bythewaves]

I might argue the same of you! Our whole family are rather renowed for that.

[castintoflames]

My stubbornness is perhaps more fearsome when backed by my anger. I can thank Atar for it.

[bythewaves]

I have never feared your anger.

[castintoflames]

Nor should you. I...need you to not be moved by it.

[bythewaves]

You are my brother, Nelyo. I know you better than most - I trust you. I know you wouldn't hurt me, even when you're angry.

[castintoflames]

I would like to say I would not harm you, but there is a madness in me. You have seen it and been hurt by it already. It would have been better if I had simply struck you.

[ Maglor flinches ]

You... were not yourself.

[castintoflames]

(He shakes his head.) I have no excuse. I have learned, I hope, to not give into hatred or despair ever again.

[ A nod, Maglor turning to cling ]

Thank you, Nelyo.
