[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.]

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!

[holdshisown]

[Yes. Very scientific. Not just for goofing around purposes or anything...]

The better to bite annoying little brothers with! [He snaps them at Maglor, huffing in amusement.

Good. You've already written far to many songs about him, he doesn't need one dedicated to his teeth as well.

Well, yeah. But that doesn't change he's created a pack of monsters.]

It's probably to make it easier to chew twigs and bark and whatever else elk's eat.

[bythewaves]

[ Of course not. He's the responsible older brother. No one would ~ever~ accuse him of goofing around~ ]

Ooooooooooh I feel very threatened. [ Maglor obliges him with responding in the driest tone possible ]

I suppose so. I ... actually have no idea what they eat, beyond 'vegetarian'. I wonder if any of the other residents here experimented with eating in these forms?

[ Your very own squad of loving monsters~ ]

[holdshisown]

[Exactly! And if they did they'd be wrong. He's far too responsible to use something like this in such a childish manner.]

Your ears are looking like a very tempting target right now, just so you know. [He responds in an equally dry tone.] Or perhaps your hair. How would you like a haircut, Kano?

Neither do I. Tyelko or the twins would likely have known, though.

[His precious little monsters~]

[bythewaves]

[ Rude that no one ever stops to ask where they got their terrible ideas in the first place... ]

Oh nooooooooo. [ Maglor answers in the driest tone possible ] My eaaaaaaaaaars. So Meaaaaaaaaaaan.

[ He reaches over to swat at his brother ]

Honestly I'm sure you can't do a worse job on my hair than I did when Elrond found me here and had to lop chunks off.

[ All his, always~ ]

[holdshisown]

[It's because unlike his brothers Maedhros knows how to keep a low profile to keep people from suspecting him.]

The meanest! [The amusement radiating of his thoughts are almost palpable.] And don't you forget it!

[If elk's could snicker he'd be doing so now, but the sound he makes is more akin to a huff than anything else.]

I don't know... I might end up making you entirely bald? Would that be worse or better do you think?

[Always~]

[bythewaves]

[ 'Low'. Heh. ]

Such a cruel and heartless older brother. [ Maglor obligingly drones for him ]

I'm sure you've got better control than that!

[holdshisown]

[Think of what kind of skill level he needed to be this oversized and still be able to keep himself from being spotted when getting up to any sort of shenanigans? Huh?]

Truly I am a man with a heart of stone. [He nods his head sagely, being mindful not to accidentaly poke Maglor with the antlers as he does so.]

No doubt I do. But will I be excersising that great control of mine? Now that is an entirely different question, don't you think?

[bythewaves]

[ ....alright, he'll grant you that!

Maglor doesn't flinch, testament to his trust of his brother ]

It is a question I would never dream would be applied to my beloved older brother!

[ He fakes a swoon ]

[holdshisown]

[That's right! Now how come all his much shorter brother's couldn't keep the same level of discretion, huh?]

Fine. Hair probably does not taste very good in any case.

[It'd probably feel pretty awful to get a mouthful of hair in his mouth, honestly.]

[bythewaves]

[ Why, because he didn't share his secrets~ Do tell~ ]

I can't imagine it would, no! Although at least mine is no longer salty!

[ He is glad they have come to an agreement~ ]
