[It was only a matter of time, he supposed, before one of the strange effects of this place happened to him. That doesn't mean he's pleased about it, however. Slightly paniced and quite annoyed, bordering on angry, would be a more accurate way to describe his current mental state.

He is currently glaring quite menacingly at his own reflection at the moment. At the two elk horns that has started to grow from his head, if you wanted to be precise about it.]

If anyone knows how to make these go away I would be very grateful for the assistance.

[His voice is level, almost emotionless, but there is an undercurrent af anger to be heard for those who knows him well enough. One of his ears twitch in annoyance and he notices that though it is still pointed it is now covered in a soft velvety fur now.]

Oh good.

[ Maglor sighs in relief and relaxes, looking thoughtful ]

Well... maybe? Maybe it's this place trying to push the change. Do you need more space though? I wasn't joking earlier, I think you're going to be massive.

[holdshisown]

Yes... that... that would probably be for the best.

[He's an unusualy tall elf, there's no reason to believe he'd be anything but a ridiculously large elk.]

I wouldn't want to break anything in here... especially if I end up being a three hoofed elk.

[bythewaves]

[ The thought clearly amuses Maglor, but he manages, somehow, not to giggle ]

Mmm, yes, let's hope you have all four hooves! Should we find a clearing or something?

[holdshisown]

[He gives his brother a mock stern look at the obvious amusement.]

Let us hope so. A clearing would be ideal.

[bythewaves]

[ he only gets a cheeky grin in answer ]

Let's go outside then. I'm sure the garden will be fine, it's not that small. Or we can go to the park, but then others might see. The lake?

[holdshisown]

[With a laugh he gives Maglor's shoulder a playful shove.]

The lake sounds fine. Now, let's go see how clumsy of an elk your older brother will prove to be.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor promptly pretends to have been sorely wounded as he tumbles out the door with a laugh ]

I'm sure you will be a very beautiful and elegant elk! With three legs~

Sorry it took a while, my dog recently passed and I just wasn't feeling up to much of anything

[holdshisown]

I'll certainly be a sight to see, I can agree on that.

[Though mostly because he'd likely look ridiculous as hes stumbling about on three legs.]

oh no D= I'm so sorry /sends you all the hugs

[bythewaves]

I promise I won't laugh!

[ Aloud, anyway ]

Thank you, I appreciate that

[holdshisown]

Don't make promises you might not be able to keep, kano...

[Because he might just make a ridiculous enough sight that he might not be able to help himself.]

<3 <3 <3

[bythewaves]

I can absolutely control my mirth!

[ Externally anyway ]

[holdshisown]

Can you? Can you really?

[So sceptical about that assertion.]

[bythewaves]

[ Arranges his face into Utter Solemnity ]

Without a doubt, I will not fail you.

[holdshisown]

Oh, we'll see how well you'll be able to keep your laughter in. But I shan't be too offended should you be unable to resist doing so.

[bythewaves]

[ Insert joke about making an oath here that neither of them will ever make due to Trauma(tm) ]

Oh, how my brother wounds me~ How you doubt my sincerity~

[ Maglor grins and tugs Maedhros after him faster ]

[holdshisown]

[Yes, better not to make them both start to cry, even if the joke undoubtedly would have been funny.]

Yes, yes, I know. I am ever so cruel to my little brothers who are the very embodiments of sincerity~

[And with a grin he'll let himself be dragged off by his brother. Might as well get this done as swiftly as possible.]

[bythewaves]

Such a mean older brother.

[ Maglor agrees cheerfully ]

Always boring and straight-laced! Never wants to have any fun~

[ Hmmmmmmm where is big enough. Not too close to the trees... ]

[holdshisown]

The abolute worst.

[He says as he nods in agreement, just barely managing to keep a straight face as he does so.]

Never! Fun is for my whimsical and capricious brothers, don't you know? Someone, after all, must be responsible enough to make sure they don't get themselves into too much trouble.

[bythewaves]

Always so boring~

[ Maglor carols cheerfully and finally nods, satisfied ]

I don't know, I only set fire to the kitchen by accident once!

[ He tugs his brother into a clearing ]

Here we go. That should be enough space!

[holdshisown]

Always.

[He says, nodding his head with all the seriousness he can muster.]

And if only that had been the only time you accidentaly wreaked some sort of destruction in our home! I do remember quite a few pieces of glassware that became casualties to your rather impressive temper tantrums~

[But yes, at least Maglor only set the kitchen on fire once. Unlike some other brothers he could name...]

Alright... let's do this.

[bythewaves]

Did you give all your fun genes to the rest of us?

[ He mourns cheerfully ]

Did we steal the fun from you?

[ He grins and says virtuously ]

I'm sure I don't remember any of that. I was a Good Boy~

[ setting fire to the kitchen is a rite of passage to adulthood? ]

Mm, whenever you're ready, Nelyo. It was easiest to just... sort of relax into it? I could probably do it on command if I really tried now.

[holdshisown]

I had to give you something didn't I? After I took all the height and good looking genes for myself.

[He jeers, falling into the familiar good natured teasing with ease.]

Well, I don't know... you lot were like a flock of curious magpies. It wouldn't surprise me if you pilfered the fun while you were going through the rest of the knickknacks of my room.

[He fires back with a wide grin of his own.]

A Loud Boy is what you were~

[In their family it certainly seemed that way. He thinks he's the only one who's not done so even once.]

Yes... relax...

[He takes a couple of deep breaths, trying to find the right mindset to relax himself into the shape of a deer. It takes him a moment or two but once the change comes it happens relatively fast. Fast enough, actually that he does lose his balance and ends up in a tangled up pile on the ground.]

[bythewaves]

Alas, left to be eternally short!

[ Maglor laments ]

And surely you hid nothing from us, your dearest siblings~!

[ He grins and shrugs, unapologetically ]

One did have to be rather loud to be heard in our household~

[ He nods, ready to support his brother as he can ]

Mm, or at least, stop fighting the change.

[ It's quick, when it happens, and Maglor isn't fast enough to catch him, although he suspects that would have just taken him down with him, considering the size difference ]

Nelyo! Are you alright? Nothing hurt?

[holdshisown]

So short. You might as well be a dwarf, brother dear~

[Not really, though, but what's the fun of this if he doesn't exagerate a bit?]

Hiding things? Me? Now why would I ever feel the need to do something like that? When I have such well behaved brothers that show such respect for my privacy and would never even think to raid my room the moment my back was turned~

[He gives his brother a rather pointed look.]

Truth be told I prefered it when you lot were loud. I never had to wonder what you were up to when you were yelling and hollering. It was when things got quiet that I new one or more of you were getting up to something you shouldn't be doing.

[Ending up in a pile on the ground had damaged nothing but his pride, that certainly had not been the most dignified way to shift his shape. But he supposes he shouldn't be too surprised, the shift had knocked him entirely off balance.]

Nothing but my pride...

[bythewaves]

I am taller than a dwarf!!!

[ SUCH A RUDE BROTHER ]

Please, the real snoops were the Ambarussar!

[ Tyelko was too straightforward, Moryo too respectful of privacy, Curufin too attached to the forge ]

There were two of them, after all!

[ He kneels by his brother and scratches around the base of his horns again ]

That's good. Did you want to try standing, or are you more comfortable like that?
