Well this sucks.

[valiantfinwe]

In one sudden and startling stroke of catastrophe, Fingon seems to have lost most/all of his friends. And his sister.

So not on.

He's brooding outside, having just finished practicing, washing his face off with water from the hose and frowning vaguely.

He has a little sister still. He just doesn't know it. She's going to be out, for a small moment before she returns to Tyelko - she's with him as much as she can, these, days.

She notices him, and she stays at a distance, but not hiding. Part of her is disturbed by the situation. Another part of her is wanting to talk to him. Yet another is very afraid of what her forgiveness could mean for Tyelko's safety.

[valiantfinwe]

He notices her. Brothers can't help but be aware of sisters, so -

But he does pretend he doesn't. She wanted him out of her life, so he's going to listen to that, at least. Even if his first instinct is to argue about it.

[arid_white_lady]

Oh, great, the one time him not listening would have been appreciated, he listens. Oh, Fingon.

She's going to accidentally-on-purpose trip and fall to the ground with a little yelp.

Because better that than just saying hello. Right?

[valiantfinwe]

It's the way he works! And she really sounded like she meant it, too. :\

Aack. A twitch and he has to try not to run over to her to make sure she's okay.

"Irisse?" Carefully, hanging back.

[arid_white_lady]

She sort of did. She was really angry.

She's going to make it even worse, by crying a little, "Ow...."

[valiantfinwe]

Taking an unsteady step toward her. Ack. What to do, what to do. "Are you-"

Gives up and goes over to her, she can be mad at him, not going to just let sister be in pain. "Are you all right?"

[arid_white_lady]

Ah, Irisse, you manipulative, crazy girl.

"I'm going to be alright." She stands, and purposely leans on the brother. "Thank you."

[valiantfinwe]

Asdlfklasdf. He steadies her. "...all right."

[arid_white_lady]

"Oh good." She gives him a tiny smile. "I'm glad."

[valiantfinwe]

Blink.

Might be trying to let go even if not wanting to. "If you'll be fine..."

[arid_white_lady]

But he can't, really, because she's leaning on him. "And you'll be okay?"

[valiantfinwe]

"Of course."

[arid_white_lady]

"I'm glad." She sighs, looks down, and takes a deep breath.

Drumroll.

"I missed you."

[valiantfinwe]

Blink.

"Irisse?"

[arid_white_lady]

She just lifts eyes to her older brother, showing slight desperation, affection, and worry, all in one.

"Yes?"

She may be tearing up a little.

[valiantfinwe]

"What did you..."

Did you mean it? Which one did you mean? I'm confused. :|
