[holdshisown]

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.

Nothing is easy, but at least we are probably not Doomed here? [ He thinks. He hopes ]

[holdshisown]

It doesn't feel that way at least. [It was hard to say really. There had been times in Beleriand when he had thought perhaps they had managed to escape it as well.]

[bythewaves]

We are in a different world.... surely the Doom cannot follow us here...

[holdshisown]

I hope so... it feels different here, at least. Don't you think so?

[bythewaves]

The Song is different. [ Maglor allows ]

If the Song is different, then... yes, I hope so.

[holdshisown]

Good different? [Maglor might not know the awnser but there was no harm in asking.]

It feels... less dire here. Less like the whole world will crumble around you.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor frowns thoughtfully, eyes going distant as he hums a few bars ]

I... think so? It definitely doesn't feel like we're balanced on the edge of a knife. But the kizuna... it makes it hard to predict.

[holdshisown]

[Maedhros waits patiently for Maglor to listen to what this world had to tell them.]

At least whatever danger there is here is less imediate then. That's better than what we're used to...

[bythewaves]

I'm no expert at this world's Song, but that certainly seems to be what it says. [ He shrugs and smiles a little ]

Rather a lot better, it's true. I wonder what shape I will end up taking on, later...

[holdshisown]

Better than me at least. [He gives Maglor an affectionate smile as he says it.] But I'm sure you'd be able to tell if there was anything imediate we need to be concerned about.

A songbird, of course. You've already gotten access to a pair of wings so you're halfway there already.

I will admit considering a crow or raven, just so I can make Murder of Crows jokes

[bythewaves]

[ He ducks his head shyly ]

Technically aren't they your wings, not mine?

It would almost be too easy to do so

[holdshisown]

Technically, but I'm not the one using them.

[Nor is he likely to do so. Flying once was enough for him, he much prefered to keep his feet on the ground.]

sooooooo tempting

[bythewaves]

I mean... I think you could?

[ He tips his head consideringly ]

If you wanted, I mean. It IS just a mask...

[holdshisown]

I'd... rather not.

Flying once was more than enough for me, I think.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor reaches over to squeeze his brother's hand comfortingly ]

Alright Nelyo. I'll look after it for you then.

[holdshisown]

[He squeezes back, smiling gratefully at his brother.]

Thank you. I know it will be in good hands that way.

[bythewaves]

Even if I decide to lend it to Elrond?

[ he teases gently ]

[holdshisown]

I trust Elrond with my life, why wouldn't I trust him with my soul? Although... I'd hope you'd make sure he didn't fly too high while using it...

[bythewaves]

Elrond is sensible. [ Maglor hums ] I'm sure he would not.

[holdshisown]

He is. I wonder where he got that trait from? [Most of his family, biological and adopted, were not known for their sensibility.] No, the one that would soar without regard to saftey would have been Elros.

[bythewaves]

Not from our side of the family. Perhaps it's something from the Lady Luthien?

[ Although he's not entirely sure if one can describe Luthien I-challenged-Satan-and-Death-and-won Tinuviel as 'sensible' ]

.... Or perhaps Lord Beren.

[holdshisown]

I'm not sure I'd call sneaking into Angband sensible... even if she succeeded in the end.

[He certainly didn't want Elrond to emulate that particular ancestor, noble though she might have been. He didn't want to be known as the first and only elf to die from a heartatack.]

...Seriously? You are talking about the man who got captured by Sauron because he wanted to prove to Thingol that he was worth his daughters hand in marriage.

[bythewaves]

He was sensible enough to know that he needed help, at least?

[ Okay, maybe Melian is the only sensible person in Elrond's bloodline ]

[holdshisown]

That's just the bare minimum of sensibility though...

[bythewaves]

It's still better than some in our family manged....

[ Not that he doesn't think Uncle Fingolfin's charge wasn't TERRIBLY amazing and great for Songs, but also... No. ]
