Text, backdated to the 10th

[Private to Seel's CR]

Swift's here. We have some things we need to work out. We've moved in to Spire 1, 101 for now.

[It was a little too big for their needs, but it was private enough. That was what counted.]

[Private to Pell, Jo and George]

I hope you don't mind if we still show up for some meals? I'm sorry for leaving so quickly.

This is all too weird.

[Private to Pell]

You alright?

I am glad for you, my friend. Things are... not well for us, but if you need me, just call.

Neither of you know how to cook?

Why would I mind?

Thank you. Is there anything I can do for you?

I have some minimal skills. From when I was on my own. Swift has never had to fix a meal in his life, no.

[you remember that Jo? When Seel made his drunken announcement and Pell kicked him out?]

No reason. Just common courtesy.

[it's too bad an eyebrow raise can't be sent via text]

Common courtesy. Really. And I thought you didn't like us.

[another text follows closely behind]

That's not me being bitchy, btw.

[She remembers how much he deserved it.]

I thought you all came from an apocalypse?

Yeah. So? I had someone cook for me. That was the deal. Flick cooked and cleaned and he got to stay.

You mean you had a slave.

No. Everyone works in Saltrock. That was his job.

Thank you, but I... we'll be alright. Keep an eye on Curufin, if you see him? Don't let him overwork himself.

I'll do my best. What do you expect him to do? Go outside in this weather and risk himself?

[He'd be an idiot to do it....sounded about right.]

I wouldn't count you as my dearest and closest friends, no.

He might.

[ Maglor murmurs softly ]

The last time we sat vigil at Maedhros' bed he took himself to the forges, day and night, until Celegorm dragged him out, or Celebrimbor begged him to rest. He might again here.

cool
im glad for u

「Seriously tho, there isn't much else he can say. Seel chose a particular tiring day for Atem to send this message.」

Edited 2018-01-16 15:20 (UTC)

Thanks Atem. I'll have to introduce you two sometime.

[If that was the case Seel was the last person you wanted watching over him. Seel had a tendency to work until he passed out and then go back out and work again.]

Well it sounds like he at least has a good reason.

[now it's too bad an eyeroll can't be sent via text]

Really. I never would've guessed.

And did he pick that? What if he wanted to change jobs?

That was what he was good at. Someone needs to do the cooking.Besides, he never spoke up. What was I supposed to do, read his damn mind?

[oh wait, he could do that....]

You can use real words too.

You're kind of an arrogant bitch, you know that? Talking about things you know nothing about.

You wanna talk about arrogance right now? Because I can do that.

He is worried, as are we all.

[ Maglor says wearily ]

But Curufin has always expressed concern in activity. So long as he does not make himself unwell I am content.

I'll do what I can. I promise. But I'm sure Curufin doesn't have a death wish, so try trusting him as well.

Unless there's something else going on I should know about?

[Because honestly, Seel didn't quite see the point. So Curufin had a tendency to overwork. So did he. He wasn't dead yet.]

I'd love too. You're a young human who knows nothing about what she's talking about. You're a child.

Now go look in a mirror, you'll see a perfect example of arrogance.

Being young doesn't mean I don't know an asshole when I run into one.

You don't have the experience or age to know what an asshole is. I suppose this means I'm unwelcome at dinner.

That's not completely my decision, is it? You asked all three of us.

I did. I assume that's your vote though.

[ A faint, tired smile ]

I'm an older brother. I worry. But he's ... probably coping the best of us right now. So. Just keep an eye on him.

I'll keep an eye out. I promise. But if he's coping the best, then you need to take care.

You can be a giant pain, you know that?

Actually, I do know that. It's not always easy, but I try.

[ A soft huff ]

Thank you. We will... do our best.

You'll survive on the canned food.

You realize your sentencing Swift to the same fate?

[As far as she's concerned, Swift is welcome, but she won't say that.]

I bet he's willing to learn to cook.

[He probably was.]

I can make pasta.

great, you can throw canned vegetables in there and you'll both be fine.

Great. Thanks for the fucking tip.

You're welcome, asshole.

[ He's just going to respond to all of it at once despite getting the three separate texts -- the move is no surprise, honestly, after how much he's heard them arguing. ]

I don't mind. Especially since more convenient food is hard to come by right now. And honestly that's probably the only time I'll see you. If I'm not home I'll try to make sure there's something in the fridge.

I'm not alright.

Part of me really believed he'd be back with the newcomers again. And then he wasn't. But he'd tell me not to fall apart so I'll just have to try and keep busy. Ignore the voice that says I can't live without him because it's wrong. Not only is it weak but I've done it before. At least this time I know that where he is, he's not alone.

Thank you Pell. Although in all honesty you might be the only there who is alright with it.

[Seel was sure Swift wouldn't like taking advantage of Pell's generosity, but Seel wasn't about tell him no. Pell knew how to cook, better than either of them at the moment, and he didn't like to starve to death. And dinner? Well, Seel's already received two negative votes from Jo and George.]

I promise you, Cal is fine. He's better off where he is. And he's with you. He's safe. He's helping to run an entire country. And you are stronger than you give yourself credit. You survived years without him. I know you can do it. You are not weak Pell. Don't make yourself weak.
