There's a creature here who killed my friend, and injured my brother. I don't know what it calls itself, but my friend describes a woman with eyes as black as pitch.

[ His eyes are far too bright to be human, a feral fire lit behind them ]

Have a care for yourselves, for it has, apparently, killed at least once and tried to do so more than that.

[ And then almost absently ]

Findekano, my king, I ask your blessing on my hunt.

[ And you know, permission to torture and play with his prey but he won't say that aloud ]

Don't go getting yourself killed. I can't imagine Curufin-san would appreciate it if you were to suffer on his account.

[Caring? Nah. Why would he do that?]

He probably wouldn't be happy, no. Did you want to come with, Yukari?

[fracturedbeauty]

Well, then. Perhaps I should come along. After all, I can be present just in case you should need backup. I don't think he would be too frustrated at that.

[Getting a chance at revenge on the monster that hurt Curufin? Absolutely.]

Let me know where to meet you.

I'm in the forge, right now - Celebrimbor is checking my weapons and armor. Did you want to meet me here, or outside?

I'll come to you at the forge, it shouldn't be a problem. I'll see you in a few minutes, then.

[ ACTION ]

[As promised, Yukari shows up in a matter of minutes, with Ayamachi strapped to his back and a tailored, lightweight jacket built for withstanding desert conditions in white. Made by yours truly. And a few canteens on his side. He's made sure he's thoroughly prepared for this.]

Mag-lor-chan~

[There's a playful, airy tone in Yukari's voice.]

[ Maglor comes out wearing armor - the overlapping leafplate of the First Age ]

Yukari.

[ he smiles ]

Thank you for coming. Tyelpe is still checking my blade and Nyelo is sorting his own armor. It has been a while since we had to hunt.

[fracturedbeauty]

But of course. It's certainly better than letting yourself set out without aid. I'm certain Curufin-san would approve.

[Has he checked with his boyfriend? Not even a little. But following the other Elves around? Surely that has to be worth something.]

At the very least, I should be a valuable source of protection.

[bythewaves]

[ He laughs, the sound sharp and with edges he doesn't normally have ]

No, he would greatly disapprove, if I know my brother. But he'd be equally grateful you're here to keep us out of trouble, and so he would split the difference and merely wish you good hunting.

[ He smiles merrily at Yukari ]

Ah now, I think you probably underestimate yourself. You've always moved like a warrior, Yukari. I trust you to have a care for your own self.

[fracturedbeauty]

Keep you out of trouble, hmm? I suppose I could work with that.

[Yukari would normally counteract the declaration that he has forgotten himself in any way, shape, or form. But being able to reflect on how things have been since the breakup and everything else up until recently, it isn't far from the truth at all.]

Well, then, perhaps this mission will bring about something more resembling the warrior I once was, then.

[ Maglor hums ]

I will do my best not to slow you down!
