Video, UN: maglor

[ Embarassed elf is working very hard to seem very calm about this ]

To all who may have been accosted by an overly enthusiastic child last month, I apologise, for I knew only love and not fear at that age and was rather supremely spoilt. I hope I did not inconvience anyone overly, and I thank those who were so kind to me in turn.

"I saw what laid in wait inside of Angband. How could I not have known? I... I don't know. But I should have done something! Something other than what I did do."

[bythewaves]

"You were being tortured." Maglor points out flatly. "That you can remember anything at all about that time is frankly amazing. And Nelyo please, I truly don't think you could have done anything else."

[holdshisown]

"I should have..." Should have been stronger, should have been able to keep track of what was real and what was not. There was a thousand different things that he should have done but hadn't. "It doesn't matter anymore, I suppose. It's already over and done with by now..."

[bythewaves]

"It is." Maglor sighs softly. "There is nothing either of us can do now except move forward."

[holdshisown]

"A frightening enough prospect on it's own when you never thought there would be any moving forward after a certain point in your life." Surviving, even in a place like this, hadn't been something he expected to do and now he didn't quite know what to do with himself.

"I know. But I'm here for you Nelyo. This time, I'll help look after you."

[holdshisown]

"I know, and I'm grateful to have you here with me." He just doesn't really know what to do with himself. "I'll try to do a better job looking after you as well."

[bythewaves]

"As am I - I missed you so. I don't want you to wear yourself out, Nelyo."

[holdshisown]

"I'll try. I don't want to make a habit out of worrying you all the time."

[bythewaves]

"I love you, Nelyo, that's why I worry."

[holdshisown]

"I know." But he doesn't have to like that he is giving his brother so many reasons to worry for him.

[bythewaves]

"Can I... come find you, Nelyo?" He thinks, probably, that it would be better if they're side by side, right now. Possible its unhealtily co-dependent of them, but Maglor doesn't really care.

[holdshisown]

"You can always come to me when you wish to, Kano." For he will never send his brother away, even if it would be better for him if he did. It likely was unhealthy, how dependent they were on eachother, but it was a habit too ingrained in both of them by now for either of them to break. Not that he even wanted to do so.

[bythewaves]

"Mm. I'll come find you then." He wants some reassurance his brother isn't leaving too.

[holdshisown]

"I'll be waiting for you in my rooms." He will not leave his brother of his own accord again. It was a vow he had made to himself when he'd found him here, he wouldn't allow himself to fail his brother like that again.

good end here?

[bythewaves]

"Alright, I'll see you in a bit." Right now, it's better if they're together.

Good end

[holdshisown]

He nods before ending the video. "See you soon, brother."
