Log: Celegorm talks /sense/ what?

Sep 03, 2008 15:17

*pacing around the main room, looking out the windows thoughtfully*

*can walk just fine, but it's rather hard going down stairs mostly without the use of one arm. hence, probably, the scowling. that and it hurts.*

*looks up, startled, and rushes toward him to help, concerned*  Uncle?  Are you alright?  What happened?

*blink. oh great* *quickly* Nothing, I'm fine.

*disbelieving scowl*  Your arm certainly doesn't look fine.

*it's just a flesh wound!* *pause* Galadriel took care of it. *:|*

*is kind of surprised considering how much she hates their family*  How'd it happen?

Killing wolves. *Tyelko says he was better before she decided to do that. and still doesn't know what to make of that odd conversation he remembers having.*

...Wolves.  *frown, ordinary wolves wouldn't need hunted and Tyelko could have handled those...but other explinations are just ridiculous.  Right?*

Yes, wolves. *frowning* Be careful.

How did wolves do this?  *still wanting to assume that they're normal wolves*

...*gives him a slightly frowny look, considering* The Gorthaur.

*goes into one of those lengthy furious Feanorian rants*  *but a quiet one*

....Celebrimbor?

*is moodswingy whee*  *tenser than he'd seem to have a reason for, but these are /Sauron's/ wolves*  *mutters*  Yes?

You looked like you were thinking about something.

Oh.  *fidgety and not meeting his eyes, being evasive and badly at that*

*takes a few steps over to him and takes his shoulder with the more functional arm* What is it?

*headshake, twitches away from the touch*  It's nothing.

*lets him go, hurts to do that anyway* Mmm.

*staring out the window*  Were they alone?  Or were they...ordered?

They were alone.

*nods, some of the tension easing a bit*

*goes over to stand just behind him* Ordered by whom? *because Cele didn't have this reaction to Morgoth, did he?*

Who always orders them.

*wants to ask if there is something he should know. just lets it pass.* Ah.

*may've gotten somewhere if he pressed*  *just shrugs awkwardly*

....*gaaah.* Celebrimbor. Is there something I should know?

*another shrug*  There's...a lot that happened after everyone was gone.  That's all.

Something that's bothering you now.

*slight nod*

What is it?

*uncomfortable fidget*  Almost everyone was gone.  He wasn't.  He..was a master of illusions.

*listening noise*

*folding in on himself a bit*  *would be almost inaudible were they not Elves, and probably wouldn't be said at all to most other people*  I didn't know it was him.

*keeping his voice quiet as well* If he didn't want you to, you wouldn't have.

*nods, knows this but it helps (a little) to hear*

*is /mad/ don't mistake the calm for not, because that's just /so not on/*

*is an emoboy*  Sorry.

For what? There's nothing /you/ have to apologize for. *maybe growly a little.*

*almost argues but keeps his mouth shut and just hunches his shoulders a little further*

Who told you otherwise?

*headshake, no one did (well, Galadriel might've who knows), no one needed to*

....*what is this with his family and their self-loathing! seriously. scowls more* I hope you're not blaming yourself.

Who else is there to blame?  It was my fault, /I helped him/.  *flinches and falls silent again*

Because he lied to you. You said it yourself. You didn't know it was him.

I should have.  I should have known.

How were you supposed to? A master of illusions. Maiar. *sort of.* And a deceiver by nature.

*small shudder*  I don't know.  But I should have known.

No, *flatly* you shouldn't have. That's the stupidest thing I've heard in a while. *and that's saying something! He listens to himself all the time!*

*startled out of the emo, just stares at him a moment in surprise*

What? Why are you expecting yourself to /see through/ a disguise woven by a master of lies far more powerful than you? *snarly, a bit. pacing is hard with one arm, though. effectively.*

*a Feanorian, talking sense?  It's enough to actually shock Cele into actually listening*  ...Because...  *well, he can't say 'I was /sleeping/ with him' to his uncle so looks for something else* ...Over such a long time...

*well /yeah/, don't expect it to happen again* I'm sure it's no effort for him to maintain a disguise as long as he wants.

*slow nod, but unconvinced*

So /why/ are /you/ expecting to see through it?

*stop inflicting logic on my emo!*  *can't really come up with an answer for that*

*it never happens! enjoy it while you can! sense from this elf is like...well.* There you go. *firmly*

*is still a little stunned and confused but can't figure out a way to refute that rationally*  *slight, hesitant nod maybe*

If you want someone to blame, it seems obvious to /me/. *still pissy*

*another small nod; quietly* ...Thanks.

*blink-- now he's surprised.* ----You're welcome.

*not really sure he believes it but, it helps a little*
