[ Generally, blinding glowing is not considered subtle, Glorfindel.

Warily ]

Well enough. Yourself?

[twicelived]

I am wonderful!

[Sure it is! Just don't mind him.]

If you were not busy with helping your brother settle in, I was wondering if I could borrow you for a bit? There is someone I would like you to meet.

[ IT IS ONLY BECAUSE HE TRUSTS YOU OKAY ]

You know I am not terribly busy at present - Mae... Nyelo dislikes it when I hover. Who is it?

[twicelived]

Perfect! I have just the thing to occupy your time!

[Wow, subtle.]

There is this friend of mine- and yours!- Vanyel who wishes for the most talented bard and I recommended you. He is in awe of your talent but was too nervous to ask you himself as he did not know how.

[ THE MOST UNSUBTLE ]

Vanyel? The young herald mage? He has a good voice himself, and much raw talent. And you flatter me, Glorfindel. Daeron was always better.

Does that mean you will teach him? I will repay you for you time somehow, he is so eager to learn and it is his dream.

[ Maglor opens his mouth to say 'yes' and then falters.

To evil end will all things turn that begin well warns memory and he bites his lip.

Surely, surely, music is alright? ]

I...

[twicelived]

Maglor, please?

[Glorfindel leaned forward with a wide eyed look, not controlling the glow around him.]

I know you could be a true friend to him. Please say yes.

[ Maglor flinches, backing away a little, even across the screen, from that light, and then nods slowly. He has already spoken to Vanyel in any case - it is probably too late (and oh, but it has been so long since he had a pupil as good as Vanyel suggests he might be!) ]

Alright

[twicelived]

[Glorfindel made a high pitched sound of happiness, bouncing.]

Wonderful! I will let him know! Oh thank you, Maglor, I know this will do you well too.

[ .... did you honestly just squee Glorfindel ]

[ Maglor ducks his head and shrugs slightly ]

We shall see.

video

[twicelived]

[Maybe.

He's the balrog slayer, he's allowed to squee. Manwe told him so.]

Just trust me on this! I will tell him the good news!

[ Lies. It was Namo, wasn't it. ]

I... alright, Glorfindel.

video

[twicelived]

[Namo may have introduced him to glitter and sparkles.]

Thank you, Maglor! You have my eternal gratitude.

[ ... If there is a way for dad and his bros to hear him all the way in Mandos, he hopes they give Lord Namo hell. Respectfully ]

It is nothing. I... do not mind teaching.

[twicelived]

I am glad! It will be good to keep you occupied and your music will be shared and heard always.

video

[bythewaves]

I am perfectly capable of keeping myself occupied, but thank you. It has been...a long time.

video

[twicelived]

I know you are but thank you, Maglor. I really do appreciate it.

[Glorfindel smiled kindly, pleased with himself.]

video

[bythewaves]

[ A shy shrug ]

It is nothing. I ... thank you for... asking on his behalf.

video

[twicelived]

You are welcome! I will leave it to you to to arrange a meeting now!

[Glorfindel gave a bright smile, glowing slightly brighter for a moment.]

If there is anything else I can do for you and your brother, please do not hesitate to ask.

[ There is a part of Maglor that aches to see that light, a reminder of something he can never have again but he smiles shyly and nods ]

I will, thank you Glorfindel.

[ Whether he refers to the first or the second bit is left unsaid. ]
