[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.]

Comments

[holdshisown]

[..........how much of what they've ever done has been worth it in the end?]

QUESTIONS!!!!!

[Yes, he does indeed regret all his actions that led him to this point. Turns out that Maglor, even in the form of a bird, can reach quite high notes.]

Agh! Peace! I give up! You might be a tiny bird but you sure make up for it in lung capacity...

[bythewaves]

[ .............................Elrond and Elros were worth it?

He fluffs, smug ]

Teasing.

[holdshisown]

[Well, yes. They might be the only thing either of them truly did right, even if the whole thing didn't exactly have a great start.

He gives his brother an amused look.]

Fine, I admit it I was teasing you. But only a little bit and as your older brother it is both my prerogative and my solemn duty to do so.

[bythewaves]

[ Maybe that's the secret, if to evil will turn things that begin well, then things that begin bad are good?

He preens, fluffing happily ]

I love you too

[ so smug ]

[holdshisown]

[He'd be so incredibly mad if that turned out to be true that their father would no longer be the only one in their family to spontaneously combust.

He gives his brother a fond smile.]

If there's one thing in life I've never doubted, Kano, it is that.

[bythewaves]

[ NO COMBUSTING Maglor forbids it.

He bobs up and down in agreement, quite content now he's essentially won ]

We should rest.

[holdshisown]

[He can only promise he'll try to refrain.

The fact that his brother is so very pleased with his victory soothe his pride enough that he doesn't feel the need to needle him any more and just let him enjoy his win.]

Mmm. Some rest would likely do us some good, and perhaps these damned antlers will have fallen off by the time I wake up again.

[bythewaves]

[ Does Maglor need to carry around a waterskin to douse his brother with at need?

Since he's already on his shoulder it's not a hardship to reach up and preen the hair around those antlers ]

That, or you will wake up an elk

[holdshisown]

[...Do you really want an awnser to that?

He hums contentedly at the attention.]

I hope not, or if I do I hope I don't wake up as an elk with only three hooves.

[bythewaves]

[ ........ he'll carry a bucket ]

I will be here, so don't panic if you do, please!

[holdshisown]

[Probably a good idea.]

I'll try not to, but with you here it will probably be an easier thing to do than if I were alone.

[bythewaves]

[ Why is this family so Like That ]

I won't leave you

[ It's an easy promise to make, Maglor pointedly settling in on his brother's shoulder ]

Not by my own will

[ He will dig in his heels and fight the gods of this place if he has to ]

[holdshisown]

[You know why, don't try to play dumb.]

Nor will I leave you, not as long as I have strenght enough to fight against anyone or anything that might try to sunder us.

[bythewaves]

[ Should they blame Dad, or Grandpa tho ]

This time, we will stay together

[ Maglor nestles close, a contented little feathery ball ]

[holdshisown]

[Probably both of them, but mostly Dad if they were being honest.]

Mmm. Just you and me, like when we were young and innocent.

[There's a sleepy smile on his face as he says it.]

[bythewaves]

[ Yeah, but that doesn't explain Dad, does it ]

No other brats to bother us.

[ he agrees cheerfully and starts up a comforting warble, seeing as his brother is finally relaxing ]

[holdshisown]

[...Well, none of them knew Grandmother enough to be able to tell wether or not he got it from her?]

No fires to put out, no fights to break up... it's nice, isn't it? Even if I do miss them, I think it's not entirely unfair of me to say I don't miss the trouble they had a penchant for causing.

[He's mostly rambling by now, half-asleep as he is.]

[ooc: just thought I should tell you that I've joined a new game, in case you are interested in joining it yourself. It's called Songerein.]

[bythewaves]

[ ...............good point. ]

It is. Nice and peaceful!

[ Maglor keeps up the soothing warble ]

No worrying that something is going wrong somewhere

[ The inevitability of being Finwean. ]



[ooc: ooooooooh.... I don't know if I have time atm but will take a look ]

[holdshisown]

[Makes one wonder how she'd been when she was alive. Maedhros had never quite worked up the nerve to ask their Grandfather, too afraid to bring up sorrowful memories for him.]

Mmm. Quiet and serene.

[Which was a very novel thing for him.]

What a strange thing it is, isn't it? Being able to lay your head down and know you've got nothing to worry about.

[ooc: no pressure, just thought I'd let you know where I'd wandered off to since I'm a little slower with the responses now. :)]

/crawls back in here

[bythewaves]

So unusual

[ He agrees ]

You'd probably get bored, eventually!


[ooc: I'm bridesmaid at a wedding in less than a week haha, so I will also be REALLY slow until after the wedding XD ]

Welcome back!

[holdshisown]

But pleasant.

[When you got over waiting for the other shoe to drop.]

Mmm. No doubt about it, I've never felt right being idle. Makes me antsy.

[ooc: Good luck and hope you have fun. Don't worry about being fast in your replies. :)]

/sneezes ah yes the after wedding illness....

[bythewaves]

Certainly restful!

[ Except for the lingering paranoia ]

You've always been a meddler

[ He says fondly ]

Fingers in every pie! Keeping us all honest.

That sucks... hope the wedding itself was fun though

[holdshisown]

What can I say? It was how I was raised.

[He shrugs his shoulders in a very what can you do sort of way.]

Somebody needed to know what the rest of you were up to, and which fires needed to be put out... both literally and metaphorically.

it was! the most on time wedding I've ever attended too lol

[bythewaves]

And our ever responsible mother-hen of an eldest brother was the one to do so!

[ Maglor agrees merrily, and fluffs his wings to resettle ]

You spoilt us and now none of us know how to be responsible~

Nice!

[holdshisown]

With as unruly little chicks that you were is it any wonder I turned into such a mother-hen? Hmm?

[He chuckles a bit before settling down again.]

For all that you were little terrors you were easy to spoil. All big eyes and pleading voices whenever you wanted something~
