[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.]

I feel like this is just the fact that you came first!

[ Responsible? Yes. The one who the others all learnt their chaos from? Also yes~ ]

But what if I need my toes?

[holdshisown]

And yet it is the truth as well. I, after all, did not have the habit of caterwauling at all hours of both night and day, disturbing the rest of everyone unfortunate enough to reside within a ten mile radius of me!

[Lies and slander! No one had ever been able to prove anything concerning the chaos he caused so he was never going to admit to having had any hand in teaching them their chaotic ways. But if he had, which he would absolutely deny to his dying day, he was very disappointed that not a one of them had learned how to cover their tracks better.]

That would be sad for you, I suppose~

[bythewaves]

I only did that once!

[ or twice. Or... ahem never mind ]

When I was an adult! When I was a baby doesn't count! And it was targeted at Tyelko, anyway.

[ Look it takes TIME to learn to cover one's tracks appropriately, and it doesn't really work when the solution to your brother breaking your favourite harp is to play bagpipes outside his window at some ungodly hour ]

So mean~

[holdshisown]

[If only elks could raise a sceptical eyebrow... oh well, he'll just have to be content with giving his brother a doubtful look. He's pretty sure it was more than once.]

It may have been targeted at Tyelko but he wasn't the only one that suffered from it...

[He thinks his brothers had had more than enough time to learn how to create some plausible deniability where their mischief was concerned. He also thinks that it would have been a better solution to simply break Tyelko's favorite bow in return for the broken harp, seemed a fair enough retaliation to him.]

The meanest~

[bythewaves]

[ It's quite impressive how expressive an elk can, Maglor didn't know they could emote like that! He is impressed yes! ]

Bagpipes are sadly non-targetable!

[ But Tyelko sleeps with the damn thing. Far better to wake him up early ]

So cruel to your beloved baby brother~

[holdshisown]

Trust me, I noticed...

[Just knock him on his ass and run away with it? But to be fair Maedhros is probably the only one that could have pulled that off on that particular brother.]

Did you think the viscious streak of our family had somehow passed me by, little brother~

[bythewaves]

Sorry, not sorry?

[ Yeah, Maglor is pretty sure he'd be the one on his ass ]

I had thought you would have mercy on your poor, baby brother~

[holdshisown]

Yeah, I wasn't exactly expecting you to feel sorry about it this many years later.

[Yeah... Celegorm hadn't been named 'strong Finwë' for nothing.]

I do! Which is why I will only stomp on a couple of your toes~

[bythewaves]

Exactly!

[ Maglor is only a *~poor weak bard~* ]

So meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan~

[ how long can he drag that word out? A REALLY long time ]

[holdshisown]

Doesn't mean I have to be happy about it either, though.

[Just because Maglor can't match their wildest brothers sheer physical strength doesn't make him a poor weak anything.]

If I wasn't mean every now and then you'd grow too complacent. I need to keep you on your toes somehow, don't I?

[Well, he is a bard... he suposses he shouldn't be too surprised he has the lung capacity to drag a word out seemingly forever.]

[bythewaves]

It was so long ago! Surely you're not still holding a grudge~

[ look if it gets him out of wrestling with Celegorm he'll take it ]

I won't have *any* toes, if you squash them!

[holdshisown]

What do you think? Is our family not well known for holding on to grudges? Hmmm?

[He supposes he can't fault Maglor for that. Wrestling with Celegorm was never fun, even when you were someone who could beat him at it. Their brother was, after all, not one to be overly concerned about making something a fair fight.]

I'll leave you one or two of them intact. I promise~

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor pouts at him for giving him an argument he can't refute ]

Am I not your favourite brother? Do I not get some leeway?

[ He wheedles instead ]

Surely more than one or two toes can be spared!

[holdshisown]

[Maedhros gives him a slight nudge with his head.]

This is me giving you some leeway. I'd be way more vindictive if it were Tyelko or Curvo in your position.

[He snorts.]

Fine. You can keep three toes on each foot. Sounds fair?

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor oofs a bit - Maedhros is a lot bigger and stronger in this form but shoves back a little, fondly ]

Ah, and I am eternally grateful! Only three? I suppose it is better than the alternative~

[holdshisown]

[Hmm... seems like he needs to get a bit more used to the strenght of this form. He'd meant it to be a bit more of a gentler nudge than that.]

You should be. If it were Tyelko or Curvo I'd be going for their knees instead of their toes! Three is most of them! I'm being very generous here, brother~

[bythewaves]

[ It's the bigger mass, brother ]

Well, I'm very glad I'm not Tyelko or Curvo then! Where does Moryo sit on this list then, enquiring minds want to know!

[ Ambarussa, as the babies, obviously get special consideration ]

[holdshisown]

[True. Still... he needs to keep in mind to be a bit more gentle in this form.]

I'd bite him. Especially if he looks like he might say something excessively rude to someone.

[The farthest he'd go with the Ambarussa was to push them into a lake or something, and that mostly just because he knew they'd find it funny.]

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor is sure that won't take long ]

Doesn't Moryo think biting is a form of expressing affection though?

[ At least it seems that way. And Ambarussa are feral, and he means that with all affection ]

[holdshisown]

[Hopefully not. But their family had always been quick learners so hopefully this should prove no different.]

Only when it's him that's doing the biting! Besides... I doubt anyone would much appreciate being bitten by a giant elk.

[The last time he'd thrown them into a lake they'd just run up to him and begged him to do it again, the little savages.]

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor is always available for testing of his strength if he wants~ just don't ACTUALLY shove him over ]

It's true, your teeth are dull but also massive in this form. [ Maglor observes and is clearly thinking about writing a song about it.

That's because they are spoilt, and he says that with all affection ]

[holdshisown]

[They probably should do something to test out how strong this form is. Just so they know, right?]

It will at the very least hurt a lot if I were to bite anyone with these. [Don't be wierd Maglor. Don't write a song about his teeth...

They were, and it was probably partialy his fault that they were so. Considering what an indulgent older brother he'd been to them... and to most of his other brothers, come to think of it.]

[bythewaves]

[ Probably... it might come in useful! One never knows! ]

A lot. [ Maglor agrees ] I'm sure you could crush bones if you tried.

[ aw but it'd be funny....

He'd argue but he's one of the ones spoilt, so... ]

[holdshisown]

[Yes... because it might be useful... not just because he want's to test out just how jacked this form is.]

Feels like I could, honestly. [He bares his teeth playfully at his brother.]

[No. It'd be wierd.

Yeah... it might have been a bit his fault that they'd all grown up to be such terrors, now that he really thinks about it.]

[bythewaves]

[ Of course~ Just for ... Scientific Benefit~ ]

My, such big teeth you have, brother! [ Maglor teases back cheerfully.

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

Probably! But they love him all the more for it ]

For a supposed herbivore, quite terrifying!
