{Voice} Failed Private to Fingon

[castintofire]

Finno? If you have a moment, I have something to show {tell} you.

{Maedhros has been at war with himself since Fingon's arrival. To tell him, or not. But the fires, and everything else that has happened have helped one side win more over the other.

Any listening ears might pick up the sound of leaves rustling in the orchard.}

[Fingon raises an eyebrow and slips something into his pocket so that Maedhros can't see.]

I'm free at the moment. Should I bring anything?

Voice

[castintofire]

Only yourself, I have anything we might need here already.

Voice

[utulien_aure]

[Laughing] So this is a surprise? Fear not, I won't ask you to ruin it for me.

[If the message had been, "Meet me there in a week", of course, it'd be a different story.]

I'll be with you in a moment, barring any accidents.

Voice

[castintofire]

Hopefully a good surprise!

{Maedhros has already made them wait long enough! Another week would be cruel.}

Please be careful! It should be safe enough right now though.

Voice/Action

[utulien_aure]

I look forward to it.

[ It would be cruel. Fingon would spend the week trying to wheedle it out of him; there would be no peace.

He arrives a few minutes later, having successfully avoided any paint enthusiasts there may have been]

Maitimo? I'm here.

Action

[castintofire]

{Just another reason to stay away from certain over-eager marksmen! And Maedhros would have caved within a day of Fingon wheedling at him.

He's still nervous, ears a rather amusing shade of red from realizing he'd made the request not as private as intended, but there's a shy smile as he steps into view.}

You wasted no time. Thank you for coming. It is just a few steps away...

[Not Here]

[prophesiedone]

[If this turns out to be too private of a moment, Anakin will be speaking up for his friend's sake. But he's rooting for you, Maedhros. You deserve happiness.]

[Not Here]

[castintofire]

{Maedhros has good friends!}

Video because little brothers are shits

[bythewaves]

Oh brotherrrr...!

{VOICE FOREVER BECAUSE MORTIFIED}

[castintofire]

{...Oh Eru. This is one instance Maedhros is very grateful he's alone at the moment, because if Maglor sees just how red his face is right now, he'll NEVER LIVE IT DOWN.

...He probably won't anyway. Because little brother.}

...Yes, Kano? {...No, he's still going to regret responding.}

MWAHAHAHAHA

[ CHINHANDS ]

I think you sent that to the wrong person, Nelyo~

[castintofire]

{brb just shriveling up and dying again}

...Finno heard it too, I call it a success.

[bythewaves]

[ Gonna mock you about this for years ]

Oh, so you meant it to go out to everyone! Good to know~

[castintofire]

{much dying}

That is not what I meant!

voice -- private to Maedhros

[so_dark_a_road]

[ What. . .? Curufin hears the voice and quickly checks his phone. It is giving an ambiguous reading. ]

[ Very softly. ] I think you have to hit the private button, Nelyo.

[ But by the time he says this, it could be too late. ]

Private Voice

[castintofire]

{Maedhros will hug you tight for this, Curvo.}

...That was my intent.

Private Voice

[so_dark_a_road]

[ And get hugged in return! ]

Best of luck, brother.

Private Voice

[castintofire]

{Hugs are good!

Maedhros takes in a quick breath.}

...You know...? {Clearly he needs to work on his powers of sneak.}

Private Voice

[so_dark_a_road]

Well. . . it's not like I know anything. . . just, you and Findekáno have been close all your lives.

Private Voice

[castintofire]

{VERY SUSPICIOUS}

...What are you saying you do not know?

[Belated Private Text]

[prophesiedone]

Maedhros, I can see this and I'm sure everyone else can too. You might want to make it private?

Oh and good luck.

[Private Text]

[castintofire]

Thank you, Anakin. My brothers have made that clear too.


I need it.

[Private Text]

[prophesiedone]

You're fine. It's not like you said anything really embarrassing.

I don't think so.

[Private Text]

[castintofire]

I would not have! It is why I want to see him in person.

I do. I still do not know exactly how to tell him. I fear I might just...be blunt and hope for the best.

[Private Text]

[prophesiedone]

Good idea. Just...make sure everything is turned off.

Don't be too blunt. Tell him the truth, let him see how you feel and then leave it in his hands.
