*goes into his study*

*groans at the mound of paperwork in front of him*

*orders black coffee and settles down to work*

...

*peers at the invoice for white paint for the Númenorean Consulate*

It cost how much?

[ingwiel]

*arrives in*

[highkingingwe]

*without looking up* Just find some space for the coffee pot and leave it with me, cheers.

[ingwiel]

*clears his throat*

For the last time, I am not your secretary. I am not your servant. I am not your coffee boy. You want coffee, make it yourself.

[highkingingwe]

...

Can I help you?

[ingwiel]

*drapes his jacket over the back of a chair*

No, actually, I was thinking I could help you.

[highkingingwe]

*suspicious* Did your mother put you up to this?

[ingwiel]

*eyeroll*

*in bored tones* Yeah, she sent me in here armed with nothing but my charm and tact, although Eru knows where I picked up those personality traits, cos it sure as Mandos wasn't from you.

Now, stand and deliver, your money or your life.

*flops down on the chair*

*with exagerated patience* I am here because, to the best of my knowledge, I have a right to be here as your heir.

[highkingingwe]

Right.

*highly confused*

You're here because you want to be?

[ingwiel]

Well done, Ingwë. You are on the ball today. :|

*sighs and helps himself to your coffee* Seriously, Ada, I'm here to help. I need to do something with my time and shagging half of Aman is so last Age.

[highkingingwe]

awf;lghhj!! My coffee!!

[ingwiel]

awf;lghhj!! My 50+ years of being the product of a broken home!!

[highkingingwe]

Fine. Take the coffee.

[ingwiel]

Wonderful. I'll share it with you if you tell me what my name is.

[highkingingwe]

*eyedart* Don't you know? Did the growing process affect your memory? Early-onset Alzheimer's?

[ingwiel]

*stands up*

*resists the urge to pour the coffee on your head and settles for pouring it on the pristine invoices on your desk*

We'll try again tomorrow, will we?

[highkingingwe]

*so does not relish having to explain why he needs new copies of the invoices to Aldarion and Pharazon *
