Updates #19
30 Oct--Goes to visit Draco, wishing to know how he fares. He still has Draco's wand, but Draco isn't ready for it yet. Apologises to Draco for being in the next cell and not being able to help. Tries to tell Draco that he was not weak--he fought. It was Voldemort who was the coward.
7 Nov-- Elim Garak arrives in the park and Faramir takes him to be a new type of orc--that must be what Saruman was doing in the catacombs. He's making a more intelligent type of orc to offset the Uruk-hai. Faramir says howdy in Black Speech, which confuses Garak. Confusion with Sauron and the Saurians, confusion for all! Faramir shoots an arrow into the ground as he tells Garak to run away. Pretty sure Garak was happy to get away. Faramir having a bad day.
7-8 Nov--Faramir spends the night in the park after running Garak off. Sophie finds him while she's out for a morning jog. Is convinced to go to Sophie's room to get some food. They discuss the possibilities of orcs. His paranoia is freaking Sophie out. He cleans up and goes to sleep in Regulus' former room (compromise because Sophie didn't want to leave him alone. He gets vicious nightmares of misc. garbage slopped together. He flips, spilling the water she brought for him. He finally spills--in his own roundabout way (because you just can't say that stuff.) He moves to nap on the couch for his own weird reasons. Sophie brings a blanket and Sai decides that Faramir is toasty to sleep on.
Is sought after by Boromir, who was surprised to learn that his brother wasn't at work. They discuss the possibilities of new kinds of orcs and Faramir says that he met Lurtz, the Uruk who killed Boromir--Boromir never knew his name. Mention that Boromir used to be the one who got in trouble and now it's Faramir. Tells Boromir about the fights with Morningway's creatures. Gives Denethor's ring, found in the catacombs, to Boromir. Shows their mother's cloak that Faramir is keeping safe and offers Boromir one of his treasures for Sugar. Boromir chooses the perfume bottle. Is most adamant when he finally spills about the catacombs that nothing actually happened--he just promised to save Shasta and the others. Boromir wants to hunt Harkness down but Faramir figures that if he's still in the catacombs he is no threat and if he comes out there are plenty of people who want to turn him into coleslaw. Faramir is tired--stayed up all night--so he goes back to Boromir's place and plants his face.
13 Nov--Faramir closes at the library, eats at the cafe, and hangs out a little bit on a bench. Meets Dexter Morgan who was in Florida a week ago. Faramir pales when he learns that Dexter analyzes blood spatter but not for the reason Dexter thinks--though usually the spatter is black instead of red. Discussion of opportunities to change your life in the village.
Eats dinner with Richard, who starts off being a goob only Faramir doesn't understand the joke. They talk a bit about the catacombs and how useless they both felt--damn orcs. They also talk about the treasure they have and what to do about it. Faramir suggests that Richard give the cloisonne spoons to Polgara for her tea. First mention of holiday gathering. Faramir agrees to explain about the catacombs--but back at his place. He does and is very calm about it. Richard understands, having made that bargain before. They are buds and go to get ice cream, since the last foray into alcohol didn't go well. They use Richard's fancy spoons to eat it.
Sees Bree out for an evening trot. They speak briefly of the catacombs. Faramir is embarrassed for not being able to protect Shasta but Bree understands. They walk back to the stables and talk about their latest books--mysteries and history of ancient Egypt. They also talk about poetry and making Shasta write some.
Meets Billy Elliot, who was visiting his mother at the cemetary. They speak of losing their mothers, dancing, and music. Faramir mentions some of the modern music-playing devices he's seen and Billy has a hard time believing that they're real.
15 Nov--Encounters Garak in the streets and apologises profusely for mistaking the Cardassian for an orc. Garak says he understands. They then proceed to blab (politics, military, etc.), moving to the hotel bar/restaurant so Garak won't freeze his butt off. (Long but unfinished due to LJ error.)
