OF COURSE IT-- Sorry, ain't your-- Okay, just, maybe if you call me?

[Will hates this world. HATES. He only wanted to take a nap after a big lunch and cold beer. Was this punishment?

OH! That damn fairy! If he ever found it again he was going to take it tiny wings off]

[ A shake of the head and a crooked smile ]

Do not apologise Will, I know how important it is to you. Call you? Ah. Certainly?

Will, come here?

[Will waits with his eyes closed, ready and willing to take whatever abuse and humiliation needed to himself out of his tiny problem.

Nothing.

There's an itch, but it's as though something was blocking him from going to Maglor. Will opened his eyes and hit a purple and gold pillow.]

Right. This place, this stupid place...

[He's still embarassed, but he wants out and the only way to get out is for some to free him]

I'm in the bottle and I got no idea where the bottle is. Probably one of them blasted fairies.

[Will moves so that he can see out of the bottom of his bottle, where golden bars keep him from being free.]

It's dark and [sniff] smells a bit like leather. A bag maybe? Someone mighta stolen the bottle, but I ain't sure how I got back inside. There's...grass? No, herbs. And, I think, arrows. Can't see too much in here.

[ A brief frown, but it is more worried and thoughtful than anything ]

Can you see the arrows? What colour are the fletchings?

[Will has to smash his face against the grating to see the colors. Luckily the bag was open enough to let a small bit of light in so he could see outside his lamp]

White and...yellow? Can't tell, might be shadow.

Celegorm uses white and yellow fletchings... it ... might be his bag but...

Will how in Varda's name did you end up there?

Celegorm? You mean the fellow who was all nice and friendly to me, but apparently went and tortured one of your own? Great.

[He doesn't meant to bring up such a painful subject, but he's nearly panicked and more that a little claustrophobic]

If I knew that then I'd know how to get out. One minute I'm having a rest and the next I wake up here. You know there ain't no toilet in here? Or food? Or anything?

Mags, you gotta get your brother's bag and let me out.

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?

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.

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.
