[Vidanric] And as I've told you before, I don't.

[Nerdanel] *but then there might be bloodshed*

[Aredhel] *that's what Mae's mop is for ... and there's USUALLY bloodshed.*

[Armand] *looks in and smiles when he sees Vidanric and Meliara talking* *waves to them but goes over the Nerdanel*

[Nerdanel] *we're trying to train them AWAY from that, dear*

[Meliara] *waves back*

[Nerdanel] *holding a wibbly, seven-year old Nolo and looking worried*

[Aredhel] *worryfrets into tea*

[IckleNolo] *crying into Nerdanel, whee*

[Armand] *smiles at Nerdanel* Bonsoir, Naneth. What is wrong? *concerned at little Nolo*

[Nerdanel] Well...*looks down at Nolo* He found out who Fëa was.

[Aredhel] Thanks to my /wonderfully/ daft brother.
[Aredhel] ((YOUR MOM WAS THE BABYDADDY IN BED LAST NIGHT))

[IckleNolo] [[...NAPOLEON'S MOM WAS THE BABYDADDY...] ]

[Vidanric] *laughs* Good.

[Aredhel] ((NO, THEISMAN'S MOM WAS))

[Armand] *frowns and leans down to eye level with the little one* Nolo?

[IckleNolo] *turns head to look at Armand* *is all tear-streaked and wibbly*

[Armand] *isn't ignoring the information Nerdanel gave him but though hearing it from Nolo would help* What's wrong?

[IckleNolo] *breathes for a minute, as isn't quite capable of speech* 'M j- just... u-upset. About everything. And Náro - I mean Curu's upset, and it- it's never going to g-get better... *tears up again*

[Armand] *bites lip and sighs* Naneth, where is Ada?

[Armand] *to Nolo* Why don't it get better? Are you frightened of your brother?

[Nerdanel] *hugs Nolo tighter* Outside. I do not know if he should be...he was upset, yes.

[IckleNolo] *shakes head* ...I'm worried about him.

[Aredhel] *lives and ... wibbles into tea, because feels utterly useless*

[Armand] *quietly* Should I go find him? Or someone?

[Fea-outside-trantruming] better if you don't.

[Nerdanel] I think...I think he needs to be alone, right now.

[Armand] If you're sure... *sits on the ground and looks up at the elfling on Nerdanel's knees* You're not scared of him then, Nolo?

[IckleNolo] *wipes eyes* Not like this.
[IckleNolo] I just don't understand why he's nice to me.

[Armand] He's not always like people say he is. And you are a charming young elfling.

[IckleNolo] *frowns* I don't know what people say he's like. I just know he's never been nice to me.

*** Elrohir (gaia_eagle@24-119-71-140.cpe.cableone.net) has joined channel #desperatefans
[Nerdanel] [[*pounce*] ]

[Elrohir] [*is pounced*]

[IckleNolo] [[Hiey!] ]

[Elrohir] *walks in*

[Eris] *waves at Elrohir*

[Aredhel] *looks at him* His ... eldest son says that he almost apologized to you sort of in a way recently. Recently ... many years from where you are now, though ... *confusing self*

[Armand] *looks up from floor near Nerdanel and little Nolo and waves to Elrohir*
[Armand] But he was nice this week... that upsets you?

[IckleNolo] It's confusing. It doesn't upset me.

[Elrohir] *waves back to Armand*

[Armand] *looks to Nerdanel for help* So what caused the great upset?

[Earendil] *comes in, all wet. With water. And a bruise under one eye, because hey, drama? Of course.*

[Nerdanel] ...well. Trying to explain the situation. *blinks at Earendil*

[Aredhel] *glances over at Earendil and smi - ellipses*

[Earendil] *bows to Nerdanel*

[Elrohir] *hugs his father*

[Nerdanel] ...hello, Lord Earendil...are...are you alright? What happened?

*hugs Elrohir*

[Earendil] I am fine, yes. Um... maybe... we should talk in private?

[IckleNolo] *mass confusion at the sudden revelations, worry for Fëa, despair that things with Fëa will never get better, and probably more a typist can't figure out... but try getting a crying seven year-old to explain that*

[Armand] *holds out his arms to see if Nolo will migrate laps*

[Nerdanel] Nolo? Can you stay with Armand for just a moment? *worries*

[IckleNolo] *looks up at Earen curiously, and migrates laps*

[Earendil] *blinks at Nolo, because hey, is that my great-grandfather? Well I never.*

[Aredhel] *oh, that's scary-sounding* *...goes to get more tea*

[Nerdanel] *stands up* Lead the way.

[Earendil] *walks somewhere nice and out of the way, like the porch or something*

[IckleNolo] *frowns as they leave, and clings slightly to Armand* Ev'ryone's upset now.

[Nerdanel] *follows*

[Elrohir] Ada, do I want to know what happened to your father?

[Armand] *comforting snuggles as much as Nolo will let him* Nolo, I'm sure you know how difficult it seems for some adults, your brother in particular, to admit a mistake... *maybe a child doesn't know* *hugs Nolo*

I don't know, myself.

[IckleNolo] *doesn't know what it takes to get Fëa to admit a mistake, but knows it's well-nigh impossible* What mistake? You all went and grew up without me. *sounds more bitter than such a small child should ever be allowed to sound*

[Aredhel] *returns with her magic time warp tea* *in time to hear that* *and ... drops the tea? wtu, Ar.*

[Armand] It looks like that doesn't it? You should be MUCH older than I. *whispers in the hopes to get the elfling to smile* I am so jealous.

[IckleNolo] *clings* I don't want to be older. I don't like me when I'm older.

[Armand] Do you remember?

[IckleNolo] No. But they said... it sounds like I'll give up.

[Armand] *hugs him* Give up?

[Aredhel] *...stoops to pick up the tea and cups and such from where it was dropped, paying attention to Nolo and not breaking, no, stfu, typist*

[Armand] Give up what?

[IckleNolo] Give up trying to make things better.
[IckleNolo] *actually never did, only got better at hiding it*

[Earendil] [[Fea: ...] ]

[Armand] *cautiously* Oh, I don't think you did that. *bites lip*
[Armand] *hugs Nolo*

[IckleNolo] It won't work, anyway. From what they said we'll just keep fighting forever *sniffles, but manages not to start crying again*
[IckleNolo] *and clings*

[Armand] I think it's possible for things to get better. I do.

[IckleNolo] Then why didn't they? Unless I gave up.

[Aredhel] *...returns to sitting near Nolo and Armand*

[IckleNolo] [[8ponders bringing in a -real- revolutionary to be shiny*] ]

[Armand] [hey!]

[Armand] *gives a pleading look to Aredhel* I don't know, Nolo. I truly don't. But I think part of it has been that your brother has been dead a very long while.

[IckleNolo] *looks tear-streakedly at Irissë, then* ...He's what?

[Aredhel] Things got a lot worse, A - Nolofinwe. *zome, so strange* They got a lot worse. But ... I think they're going to get better, from what I have been told.

[Armand] He's not now. But he was for a bit. Before you were able to fix things. And you've both only been here a short while, especially how you elves count time. *nods wth more confidence than he feels*

[IckleNolo] .... *really doesn't want to grow up now* But Curu wouldn't die. He's not... he wouldn't. *looks distressed* *note that Nolo's nly conception of death right now is what happened with Miriel*

[Aredhel] *wibblebreakinginside* He did. A lot of people died. Things that had never happened before happened. It was very messy. But ... things really are starting to get better. I promise.

[Armand] *hugs him close* Sometimes terrible things happen, even to big, strong elves. The important thing is you're all here now, and there is always can better.

[IckleNolo] *shrinks into Armand's arms, and looks out at Aredhel* Is that why... he has all those scars?

[Aredhel] *actually makes a small broken-ish noise* I ... yes. It is.

[Armand] *over Nolo's head mouths "I'm reallly messing this up aren't i?"* *pats the elfling* It will be fine. I....promise.

[Aredhel] *shakes head slightly at Armand*

[IckleNolo] *is having enough angst already, thanks* *frowns at Arr* Irissë, what's wrong?

[Armand] *tries to ignore the morningstar as he's got a lapful of upset elfling to comfort*

[Aredhel] *puts on a happy face* Nothing's wrong. Nothing at all.

[Elrohir] *pokes Lucifer*

[IckleNolo] *is still her father, and not fooled* It doesn't sound like that. *wriggles out of Armand's lap to hug her* We shouldn't all be upset.

[Armand] *bites lip and watches them*

[Aredhel] *hugs him, once again, pretending that this isn't the weirdest thing since ... something very weird* It'll be okay.

[IckleNolo] *sits on the floor, hugging himself but at least not crying anymore* I hope so.

[Armand] *cautiously* Didn't I promise? I'll try to help.

[IckleNolo] *smiles very slightly* ...Thank you.

[Armand] I don't like it when people are fighting.

[IckleNolo] Neither do I. Especially when it's me.

[Armand] Nolo, can you do me a favor?

[Aredhel] *innerflail at everything*

[Feanaro] [[Right. bedtime. Fea will sleep, too. If Nolo wants to drop by regardless, that's fine.] ]

[IckleNolo] [[...I think he may.] ]

[Feanaro] [[awwwww.] ]
*** Feanaro has left #desperatefans

[Nerdanel] *returns, looking like she may have been on the verge of crying*

[Aredhel] *looks up at Ner* Aunt?

[Armand] *looks up at Nerdanel* *bites lip*
[Armand] Nolo?

[Nerdanel] Hello... *does try and smile*

[IckleNolo] *looks at Ner concernedly* ...Yes?

[Armand] *whispers to Nolo* Can you do me a favor?

[IckleNolo] *nods*

[Armand] Do you like me?

[IckleNolo] *looks at him* Yes.

[Armand] Can you remind me when you're big again?

[Nerdanel] *sits back down*

[IckleNolo] That I like you? ...I'll try.

[Armand] *smiles hopefully at Nerdanel* *is worried*

[Nerdanel] *smiles back, wiping at her eyes slightly*

[Armand] *goes to his knees to hug her* Naneth...

[Nerdanel] *hugs him back tightly* Yes?

[Aredhel] *bites lip and worryfrets into ... oh, wait. SHE DROPPED THE TEA.*

[Armand] *hugs her tight* *finally lets go and looks at Nolo* Yes, that. I am not sure I will remember it.

[IckleNolo] *doesn't really like the implications of what that might meanabout grownup!him* *but nods*

[Aredhel] *shoots a glare at Armand, because, dude, who couldn't like adult!Nolo?* *not biased, what?*

[Armand] *is scared half out of his wits of adult Nolo thank you!*

[Aredhel] *adult Nolo is BEST EVER, okay?*

[Armand] *isn't at all sure adult nolo likes him and mostly just wants to hide from him*

[Aredhel] *is completely sure that Nolo likes /her/... um. Anyway, why would anyone want to hide from Nolo and - wait, why is she being psychic with Armand and not his big brother?*

[Nerdanel] *she is special*

[Eris] *is bored*

[Armand] Pasha!NotHere: *waves at Eris*

[Armand] *nods solemnly to Nolo then hugs Nerdanel again*

[Nerdanel] *embraces him tightly*

[Armand] Are you going to be alright, Naneth? Is Ada alright?

[Nerdanel] *smiles* I am fine, Armand. Just a little scare. He is as well. Thank Eru for Earendil.

[Aredhel] *quick worried glance at Ner*

[Armand] *alarmed* What happened? Why was Earendil needed?

[Nerdanel] Your father was just...stressed. And nearly did something he should not have. But it is worked out now. You need not be worried. ...to stop him from doing said stupid thing.

[Armand] *sighs as he is being treated like a child again* *bites lip*

[Aredhel] *ellipses at Ner*

[Nerdanel] *...would not really come out and tell anyone, Armand*

[Armand] *sighs*

[Armand] *watches his elven family glumly*

[Aredhel] *is glumer, but is totally covering it up very well*

[Nerdanel] *is just relieved* Do either of you want something to drink?

[IckleNolo] *sees everyone being glum* ...I'm going to go to bed, I think. Goodnight.
[IckleNolo] *slips off before anyone can ask him where to*

[Aredhel] ...All right. Goodnight!

[Nerdanel] Good night!

[Armand] *bites lip* nolo... *sighs* Is there some already, Naneth?

[Aredhel] I was actually just going to offer to make more tea. *smiles at Ner*

[Nerdanel] *smiles back* I can do it. Or we could all move to the kitchen.

[Armand] *quietly* Up to you.

[Aredhel] Either way. *shrugs*

[Nerdanel] *this is apparently the family of mindmelds*

[Nerdanel] I will get it. *stands up and walks to the kitchen*

[Aredhel] *it so totally is*

[Nerdanel] *returns with tea* Here you are, dears.

[Aredhel] *smiles and takes tea* Thank you.

[Armand] *takes a cup and sips sleepily*

[Nerdanel] Not a problem. *makes a cup for herself*

[Aredhel] *emos discreetly into tea*

[Nerdanel] *looks over at Aredhel* ...Irissë? Are you alright?

[Aredhel] *looks up* Hm? Oh. Yes. Fine.

[Nerdanel] *frowns slightly* I am a mother of eight. Lying will not fool me.

[Armand] *nods off and drops his teacup* Pardon moi...

[Aredhel] *sighs* Really. I'm fine.

[Nerdanel] *raises eyebrow* If you want to talk, I am willing to listen. *turns to Armand* It is alright, dear. You look tired, though.

[Armand] *flushes* I'm afraid I have to go to bed. I am sorry.

[Nerdanel] *hugs him* Sleep well, then. *smiles*

[Armand] *hugs back* *stands and bows to Aredhel* Goodnight then...

[Aredhel] *stares into tea* Thank you. I'll remember that. I just ... I wish Ada were himself again. *NOTLATE*

[Aredhel] Goodnight!

[Armand] *reluctantly goes up the stairs*
