Greetings Nippon, I am Maedhros Fëanorion and I arrived sometime last month. If it would not be too much of an inconvenience I would ask for some assistance.

[Maedhros looks a bit sheepish before he explains himself.]

After a small... accident one of my brothers shirts were, well... destroyed for the lack of a better word. I'm not quite sure where to go to find a replacement for him and would be grateful for any help in the matter.

The marching one was his, you know, the one about fire melting ice. And the one about the rising sun. Those for sure. There may have been others.

I'm not absolutely sure, but it had the feel of Ecthelion's style... I imagine Turgon was very not pleased, yes.

[ He scowls ]

You are a terrible tease.

[holdshisown]

A little heavy on the symbolism, wasn't it? Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

I'll trust your judgement about that, you've always had a good ear for such things. If it really was Ecthelion who wrote it I wish I could have been there to see Turgon's face when he figured it out.

[He let's a smirk creep onto his face.]

Again with the accusations, Kano.

[bythewaves]

That's Ingo's style. [ He shrugs, and glowers at his brother ]

You are having far too much fun with this.

[holdshisown]

At least it's better than those bawdy tavern songs that aren't symbolic enough.

[Really, why would anyone want to hear about his love life in such explicit detail.

The smirk just grows wider at Maglors glower.]

And why shouldn't I? I can see why the rest of you finds this sort of behaviour so appealing now

[bythewaves]

Tavern songs are supposed to be bawdy! And besides, nothing will ever beat the Elf and the Fruit Vendor!

[ SULKING ]

Terrible. Absolutely terrible.

[holdshisown]

Yes, but they're not supposed to be about me! At least that one wasn't about me... was it?

[He honestly doesn't know, but he hopes not...]

Turnabout is fair play, little brother! I endured all of your terrible behaviour, it's only fair that I pay you back now and then.

[bythewaves]

No, that one Fingon told me was from the Men of Dor-Lomin, so it was definitely not about you. Wouldn't say it wasn't about FINROD, but then again, it's a very generic elf in the song with no physical descriptions so...

[ grrrrrrr ]

I was the good kid! ........Comparatively.

[holdshisown]

Good! I was worried there for a moment. Now that you mention it... it MIGHT be.

[Smirk]

The keyword here being comparatively.

[bythewaves]

[ He is going to find a way to get back at you just you wait

Sulkily ]

I am behaving.

[holdshisown]

[He knows you will, that is the way it is with brothers. At least in their family.]

Right now, yes. But you have not always been well behaved, nor do I think you will be for the rest of eternity either.

[bythewaves]

[ Glare ]

What if I promise to behave here.

[holdshisown]

[Hmmm]

I might be convinced to be less embarrassing if you do.

[bythewaves]

[ HUFF ]

I promise to neither sing nor write rude songs about you so long as we are here, UNLESS Elrond specifically asks for one.

[ because Elrond has the right to ask ]

[holdshisown]

And I promise to not buy or gift any embarrassing clothes for you, and I'll also endeavour to be less embarrassing over all. But on that last point I can only promise to try.

[Because he's kinda out of touch with how to act around people and it's probably best not to make promises he might not be able to keep.]

[bythewaves]

[ Good enough ]

Truce?

[holdshisown]

[It's the best he can do without lying.]

Truce.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor relaxes, wrinkling his nose fondly at his brother ]

I am glad you're feeling well enough to tease, Nelyo.

[holdshisown]

[That brings a laugh out of him.]

It feels good to be able to.

[bythewaves]

It's been a while. [ Maglor hums, fondly ]

I'm glad. You seem happier here, overall.

[holdshisown]

More than just a while, I think.

I do feel... better here. Everything feels less raw, somehow...

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor hums ]

That would be the effects of the kizuna, I suppose. It IS supposed to make people feel better so...

[holdshisown]

I don't really know how to feel about it too be honest... It is a relief to be rid of the grief and weariness that has plauged me... but I am not overly fond of the idea of something influencing my feelings like this.

[bythewaves]

I have been assured its benign. [ He says wryly ]

So far... no one appears to have come to harm.

[holdshisown]

I know, it's just the concept of the whole thing that puts me a bit on edge... it will pass in time probably. [He gives his brother a crooked smile to show there is no real need to worry about his unease with the situation.]

I don't think there's going to be any harm by it. It's just... old memories that sours the concept for me.

[bythewaves]

No, I understand.

[ Maglor nods - if anyone understands how Maedhros hates the thought of something external influencing him, it's Maglor ]

I was extremely put off too. Especially the whole... body transformation thing. But everyone who has been here longer assures me it is... fine. So... we shall just have to adjust, I suppose...
