Maglor wants a drink XD

[bythewaves]

..........Perhaps eventually.

[ So that'd be 'no' chirp the Ambarussa ]

......Surprise?

He always wants a drink XD

[rivendell_lord]

[Oh he knows. He gives a mighty effort to keep the amusement and pure mirth out of his voice as he gives a considering little sound.]

A surprise is so mild, ada, when learning one has an aunt.

[Must. Not. Laugh.]

Might I ask how it came to be?

[rivendell_lord]

[The emotions mixed with that smile are nothing new.

Elrond follows a bare step behind, then moves on to pick through the cupboards for tea and cups for them, reminding himself where everything was and what had changed.

If there was more to say immediately, what couldn't wait a day, it would be Maglor that would have to speak up. Elrond hardly knows where to continue, from all that had already been said.]

well he's got a lot of reason too!

[ So very very sheepish ]

In truth, I did not expect to see you again that it might become an issue?

[ Quiet and a little shy ]

Riley... has been very kind to me. She scolds me and worries over me, and has allowed me liberties with herself, as well. When... she told me she saw me as an older brother... Forgive me for taking such liberties yonya. I have always wanted a sister.

Yes, yes he does. The whole family does.

[rivendell_lord]

[...

Sorry ada. But that is indeed a soft chuckle at just how sheepish you are.

But it's short-lived.]

Nor had I, though I am glad for it.

[He lets out a quiet breath, almost a sigh but not completely one. Anyone not too familiar with Maglor who heard the phrase 'allowed me liberties with herself' would believe the worse and lock the elf up.]

No liberties have been taken, ada. [So gently said.] She is an intelligent young lady who has been here for you while I could not. I could not think of any other I would wish to be my aunt.

[ The cupboards are a little barer this time, for they have been at siege. But the eggs in the fridge are fresh, for Maglor has two hens out the back, and the honey as well, from the small beehive.

Like Elrond, Maglor busies himself around the kitchen a little, for want of words to say, and eventually he chuckles softly ]

The bard without words to speak. [ He says in quiet amusement, and comes over to pour them both the tea ]

I have missed you. [ He says simply ] But I also wished you home and safe, so I feel guilty for being glad at your returning. The house has never been empty, nor quiet, not with Kevin and Alice both testing boundaries and learning to live with each other but... I confess that I have missed having another adult around to balance them.

[ A soft noise at the door and the Longtoothed Reinhare sticks its nose in, flapping its wings to bring it over to the table ]

And as you can see, we are becoming something of a zoo. [ He adds in amusement, reaching over to offer the creature a biscuit ]

multiple drinks

[ Considering what Maglor considers a liberty, it is entirely possible he subconsciously aims for such an outcome...

He ducks his head with a pleased smile ]

She is. [ said very fondly ] I am glad you do not mind. [ She makes me smile he does not say aloud ]
