For you, I would offer nothing less.

[ he manages a smile back, sad and small ]

I know you would. [ but he does not say if he would accept ]

[...Don't make him come to you, Maglor. He will. For now though, he nods just a little.]

...Perhaps... [No, it sounded stupid. Childish, even. But it might just further prove he did miss his foster parent.]

I would wish to see you. Not just through these lockets. As I said before, it has been quite some time since I saw you in person.

[ if you do he will D= at you and send you right back ]

I... [ he bites his lip and looks away until he regains control.

if your family were to defect and slay their Seelie brothers and sisters, I would allow you to live with them in La Llorona in peace she said to one, and to Celegorm If you turned your Seelie family against their foolish rulers, I would let you house them in La Llorona as guardians of the forest. and Celegorm had smiled up at her, as he once smiled for Father, obedient and golden.

No, he cannot permit this. ]

It is not safe. You did not hear, Elrond, what our Queen spoke of in her audience. You must not ever come here.

[But would it be in time?

Elrond frowns a little, listening. Maglor's never really lied to him, not where it matters. He knows the other elf truly has his best interest at heart now. Even if he's a bit overprotective. Even now.

Not safe.]

Then some other, neutral, location.

[ if it keeps Elrond alive and safe Maglor would argue he's being exactly as protective as needed ]

[ Yes he wants to answer and yet... ]

Is there any place truly neutral here? I... if it was safe...perhaps.

[As a father, Elrond understands Maglor's caution. Yet...]

There is a station, as it is called, that might just be safe. Alternatively...perhaps we could find somewhere hidden.

[ Maglor bites his lip, visibly torn ]

The Station. Yes, I had heard. There is one there I promised to meet, for he may not leave the grounds. Yet it lies within our lands moreso than yours, if I read the maps aright, and the journey may be perilous, the return one, moreso.

[Danger. When he knows full well Celebrian would be furious if he were harmed. But. He shakes his head a little, determined.]

I will not be taken easily, should I come across unfriendly individuals.

[ Maglor shakes his head ]

I do not doubt you would fight. I only... I do not wish you harmed because of me, Elrond.

[He fights a sigh, gaze dropping a little before resttling firmly on Maglor.]

I know, adar.

[ He shakes his head almost violently ]

Do not...! Oh, please, do not. You have to stay away Elrond.

[He reaches up to brush fingertips over the edge of the locket, brow furrowing at the fervent plea.]

I...I cannot make such a promise. I do not know what will come of this war.

[ Maglor's hand comes up to mirror him on the other side, as if they could reach each other through the mirror ]

Then only promise me you will stay safe. Only that, y... Elrond. It was for that reason that I sent you away.

[It's the best they can manage, small as it was. More than he'd had with Maglor in centuries. At least he can speak with him now.]

Of that, I promise with all my heart, ada.

[ You should not call me that is on the tip of his tongue, but he has never been able to say it, not then, and not now, and is this not one more sin, that he stole this ellon from his true family? ]

Then with that I will content myself.

Edited 2014-05-24 08:33 (UTC)

[Centuries of habit would not be easily broken. It's far too late for Elrond to not think of Maglor as 'dad'. And he doesn't want to stop.]

You must promise the same. That you will keep safe. For me.

I do not know if I can Elrond, not with Celegorm here. [ I have to protect him, this time hangs unspoken I have to try ]

But I will do my best.

[He slowly nods. That much he can understand.]

I feel the same, with Celebrian here. I am content with try.

[Though he has no intention of explaining why, or details. He'd not even told his beloved what is in store for her.]

Then we will both try our best, I suppose. [ he brushes across the mirror again ]

You have so much to live for Elrond. If any might heed my prayers I would pray only for your happiness.

[A return touch.] Yes.

... [A breath and he smiles again, though a touch of worry and sorrow is in his eyes.] They have been.

May the days always bring more joy than sorrow. [ A prayer, and a wish, and a blessing ]

[All in one, all nearly catch his breath. But he rallies himself, the smile warming.]

As it should be sought, even - especially in times of war.

Who would heed a kinslayer? Yet for you sake I pray that it be so. Be well, Elrond.

Who? Who but myself?

[He knows what was intended by that, though he refuses to easily allow Maglor's self deprecation.]

And you, ada.

[ A small, almost wry shake of his head but Maglor manages something of a smile before he reaches to turn off the feed ]

So stubborn. [ he murmurs fondly in farewell ]
