{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?

[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.]

Oh brotherrrr...!

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. ]

Voice

[castintofire]

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

[Not Here]

[castintofire]

{Maedhros has good friends!}

{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.}

Private Voice

[castintofire]

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

...That was my intent.

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.

[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.

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.

[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 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 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.

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.

[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.

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...

[Private Text]

[castintofire]

I plan to turn my device off when he gets here.

...I will try.

If you do not hear from me for a week, I am sorry.

[Private Text]

[prophesiedone]

A week? Why will you be gone a week? [Something tells him it's not because of a romantic holiday.]

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 Text]

[castintofire]

Because if he recoils in disgust I will be in no shape to be around anyone.

Private Voice

[castintofire]

{VERY SUSPICIOUS}

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

[Private Text]

[prophesiedone]

Maedhros, he won't. Fingon isn't like that: he might be direct with you, but he won't be disgusted.
