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.

"Why I got angry with you."

[valiantfinwe]

"You were displeased with my treatment of Tyelkormo."

[arid_white_lady]

She looks at him with one lifted eyebrow, as if to say, yes, and?

Not that it stopped you before, Fingon.

[valiantfinwe]

"And what?" A bit oddishly. What's she getting at?

[arid_white_lady]

"I am curious to see how you came to this conclusion when I exhausted myself telling you this, as did others."

[valiantfinwe]

"I understood what you were saying. I knew why you were angry. That doesn't mean I agree with you."

[arid_white_lady]

"Well then, perhaps there is yet a reason for which I stopped talking to you."

Watch out, Fingon. Eggshells is what you're walking on.

[valiantfinwe]

A bit exasperated, "Irisse, am I no longer allowed to disagree with you?"

[arid_white_lady]

"Not if you act on it."

Not if it's about Tyelko.

[valiantfinwe]

He shakes his head. "Who said I was going to act on it?"

More than I did, he means.

[arid_white_lady]

"You did."

[valiantfinwe]

"Before, yes. I don't...want to lose you."

[arid_white_lady]

You kind of did, for a bit.

"And so.....?"

[valiantfinwe]

He just shakes his head.

[arid_white_lady]

"Well?" A sad pause. "Do you promise to leave him be?"
