My apologies but I am unavailable. If you wish, you may leave a message
Aye, my brother. [ there is the slightest edge to his voice at that, but it drops soon enough ]
I will speak to him Will, and see if it is his bag that holds you. Will you be well until then?
I will speak to him Will, and see if it is his bag that holds you. Will you be well until then?
Or you could just grab the bag and get the bottle without him knowing.
[Because Will really didn't want people to witness this humiliation]
And...I'm sorry for mentioning that stuff. Small places just get to me.

I can see that. I am sorry Will. But Celegorm is back in the Castle - four weeks ride from the Station, and I'll not abuse your powers so. [ not when using up all three means that Will might get stuck inside permanently ]
I will speak to him and see what might be done.

[There is a lot of frowning going on]
Right. I'll just...sit here.
Right. I'll just...sit here.
I am sorry Will. [ the faerie that follows him comes creeping onto the screen and chimes apologetically - totally not her fault, but you look sad, cheer up! ] If it is Celegorm, I will tell him to at the least let you out post-haste. If it is not... well. I suppose I can use a wish, but I am hesitant to waste them so.
Don't use a wish! Remember, they have to be exact or I could end up on the top of some mountain or in a volcano. Just, just get me your brother to open the bottle or whatever.
[ A flick of a smile at that ]
I will not. I sent a message to Celegorm - we will hopefully have you free soon Will. Although I suppose this teaches us one thing - if the bottle goes, you may travel with it, and not be bound to my side.

[Will really can't help making a face]
Oh yeah, this is so much better than being stuck at the Station.

[ an apologetic shrug ]
The best we can do, for now. At the least, Celegorm trusts you?

Hopefully he'll remember that trust when he finds a stowaway.
Least this bottle could do is give me a fridge full of beer. [so much pouting]

I left him a message - hopefully he will remember that you were good to me Will. I... can I ask a favor? I know... I know he rides to war. Will you watch him for me? I cannot influence him, not from here, but he might listen to you. He needs good friends Will - part of his problem has always been that he needs a cause to follow, and companions to stand with him.
[A favor? What made people think Will was someone they could trust?]
Yeah. You know I ain't going to get in no fight, but I'll-I'll keep an eye out for him. Maybe convince him to head to the Station.
Do me a favor and keep this whole genie trapped in his bottle thing between us, yeah?
[Oh, the humiliation of being stuck]

[ because Will has been honest and helpful? ]
Of course, Will. Better Celegorm does not know what power you hold in any case, he might well seek to use you for his own ends. And thank you - it sets my heart at ease to know you will be beside him.

Your brother is bonkers, mate.
[His voice is quiet, almost as though he's hiding]

Will? What is wrong? [ anxious and worried ]
What has happened to Celegorm?
[ and then utterly resigned ]
...What has he done now?

Well, he spent a good part of the day sad. Or angry. Hard to tell with him. Then he went off with his little army and I have no idea what he did, but he probably won't be welcomed with open arms at the Mair anytime soon.
[He promised to watch Celegorm, but the elf is a bit darker than Will initially thought]
You sure you two are related?

Ah... [ Well considering that Mags today has (1) punched and broken a mirror/window and scratched up his hands (2) reopened the burn scars on his right and (3) possibly depressed everyone within range of his voice... yeah, he knows why Celegorm is feeling right now ]
Oh Celegorm. [ soft and so very despairing ] Be very, very careful Will. I ... think I know why. Have you been paying attention to the network? One of the Seelie children has ... made an extremely unwise move. That is probably what has him so angry. He ... will not hurt you, I do not think. Not willingly. But Will, it will be very dangerous to be closely associated with any of us now.

He ain't going to start a war is he? I mean a proper war or whatever you elves do.
[He will need to have words with Celegorm if things are headed in the direction he thinks they are]
Also, you are my mate and I ain't just going to toss you to the side because of a bit of misunderstanding.

We are - [ We, not He ] although I will try and mitigate the damage, if I can. Did I ever tell you of our Oath, Will?
One of Father's jewels has appeared here - a jewel we are sworn to retrieve, whatsoever the cost and irregardless of who stands in our way. The Seelie girl has it, and has brandished it in our faces, refusing to yield it.
[ The light in his eyes gutters, a flame in a too-strong wind, and he looks so very tired, all the hard work his friends and family have put into fixing him vanished in one fell stroke ]
Unless I can find another way to retrieve it, we go to war Will, not as Unseelie but as Feanorionnath, and I would spare you that.

[He caught that "We" and was less than pleased]
Over a jewel? No, no, I don't care. Look, you have a way to get it, yeah? Wish. Use a bloody wish before you brother does something really stupid.
Unless...this is just a jewel, right? I mean, it doesn't end the world or anything does it?

Not just a jewel - Father's Silmaril, the most beautiful things ever created by hand of mortal being, the only remaining source of the Light that was before moon and sun, and Father's most prized creations. But I suppose if you mean, "does it have any world ending powers" then no, it does not - beyond that it is precious beyond price to my father, and holds a light that can never be dimmed and will not stand evil's touch, it is, still 'only' a jewel.
And the nature of such Oaths is binding, beyond life, beyond death - we may have no rest until it is fulfilled.
[ A light flickers in his eyes, hungry and desperate at the offer, but he shakes his head ] And embroil you in our problems? No Will, I do not want you bound to our Oath as well, and you will be, if I use your magic. And I only have two wishes left - I do not want you trapped in your bottle.

[He didn't expect to be given a talking to over a jewel, no matter how special it supposedly was. To a thief a jewel was only as good as the price it would fetch, and certainly never worth risking you life over]
It ain't a problem, it's a wish. One, leaving one left. Look, I'll never be free of this bottle no matter what you think you have figured out, and there's not certainty that I'll get stuck again; this is a different world with different rules.
[Why does Maglor have to make everything so difficult?[
What's the name of this Seelie who has your family jewel anyway?

[ because that is what he does? ]
And if we need it later? [ Maglor shakes his head ] I do not want you entrapped in our Doom, Will.
And if we do not know if you will not get stuck, neither do we know if you will. I dare not risk it, Will. Not until I can work out a way to free you.
[ he blinks a bit in surprise at the question ]
Clarisse La Rue.

Then we have one left. [Mags, you need to stop being so concerned for others] Pretty sure it's my decision on if I help you out or not.
By all mean, keep looking, but, look [So much sighing], despite what it seems like, I ain't one to go tossin' about wishes here and there, but if there's a way to stop something bad then maybe you should take it. Folks are going to die. Folks who have nothing to do with your Oath.
[Yeah, it's low of him to toss that at Mags, but damn it, the elf is one of his only friends in this place]
Clarisse La Rue. Interesting name. Stands out.
[Did he ever tell Maglor he was a thief? Ex-thief, except when it suited him to be a current thief
Now if he could just get away from Big Brother, Celegorm]

One which to use might trap you forever, Will. [ no never ] And if I understood you aright when I made that first wish... it truly is not, Will - I heard how it forced you.
[ At the time he hadn't care much, but he does now ]
[ The mention of extra casualities makes him flinch ]
I know - I warned her of such, and I do not doubt that Celegorm did the same, albeit in less than kind words. And I sent word to the Seelie Queen and King, although I do not know if they recieved it. [ But the fairy that he sent with the message has not returned, and that is good enough for him ]
I... was planning on going in secret. If I wait, Celegorm will force my hand to war, but I might yet go and retrieve it in the confusion of the coming battle - hopefully without more lives lost. [ Apart from his own, perhaps, but it has become very obvious to all and sundry that Maglor cares very little for his own life ]
