After the previous day's disastrous reunion with his mother, Draco was feeling a lot like a dirty rag in the gutter. However, there was nothing like meddling (well, not technically meddling since he had permission from Meg) in other people's lives to provide a way to ignore the shit storm in your own. That was what Draco believed and so he was ( Read more... )

The cafe is terribly crowded when I go to get my lunch. I have the feeling I'll be taking it back to the library. That doesn't generally bother me except that the food gets cold. Ah, well, if it sat for a day and a half it would still be better than late winter rations with the rangers.

Out of the corner of my eye I see a familiar blond head. In the middle of all the chaos is Draco, and it looks like he's working on something. If I can catch his eye I'll give him a wave. He might do better research in the quiet of the library.

Tagging because I saw the thread with John-boy.

"You do make a good point," Draco admitted. "I would still worry, however."

faramir_hurin January 17 2011, 21:14:14 UTC

"He's your son, so of course you would worry." I have to smile. "I worry about Glaurmir and he's much harder to harm than I am. But he's my son."

It does not matter how strong they are, we worry for them.

"At least they're relatively safe away from here," Draco said with a sigh.

faramir_hurin January 18 2011, 04:06:09 UTC

"I'm not so sure about Glaurmir, though I've seen him later in life and he will make his way to Middle-earth. If I didn't know this I would worry more--Glaurnaneth has been hunted for much of her life and it is likely that Glaurmir will be hunted also." But I know he'll be safe long enough to make it away from Hrodgar's kingdom.

"Listen to us talk, like old men. We are not, neither of us."

Draco grinned and shook his head. Faramir was right about that.

"I feel old. More so every day," he said.

faramir_hurin January 18 2011, 04:11:37 UTC

"What? Are you joking with me?" I am astonished. "You are so young and I know wizards live longer than other men."

black_nimbus01 January 18 2011, 04:13:23 UTC

Draco snorted and rubbed his forehead. "My mother is back in the village," he said after a moment, like that explained everything.

faramir_hurin January 18 2011, 14:22:59 UTC

It takes me a moment to recall what I know about Draco's mother. Narcissa.

"Oh." Then I nod slowly. "I think I understand. My father is here."

I'm thinking that he and Draco have not met.

"But of course you knew he was, since he's having me teach swordfighting." Little wonder that he says I'm foolish, because I truly can be at times.

Draco had met Denethor once, months ago. He had seemed pleasant enough for an old man, but Draco was familiar with his type. He would probably get along very well with Narcissa.

"Let us hope we are nothing like our parents in our sons' eyes," Draco said.

faramir_hurin January 19 2011, 04:04:32 UTC

"I'll drink to that, the next time I am able," I promise.

Looking about, I note the crowd has not particularly abated.

"I suppose I should let you get on with your research, for lack of a better term. You certainly know how to get hold of me if you need to." I admit I am very curious about the young lady, but she might not be interested in meeting me. However it goes I must abide.

black_nimbus01 January 19 2011, 18:20:50 UTC

Draco nodded. "Yes, I'll let you know the lady's decision. Enjoy the rest of your day, Faramir."

faramir_hurin January 20 2011, 04:33:32 UTC

"I hope it all goes well. I will see you later, Draco." With that, I return to the library.
