Do I really look like Uncle Nolofinwe?

I am. Are you?

[castintofire]

There is some resemblance, Kano. As there should be. And your kindness is the same.

The same. Care for some company?

[bythewaves]

[ HE IS GLAD YOU CANNOT SEE HIM BLUSHING ]

Oh. I would not object?

[castintofire]

{Maedhros loves his little brother!}

Then I will come to you. Where are you?

[bythewaves]

[ He loves you too ]

By the river in the town. [ He does not dare go too far, right now, not with Ciel returned and without his father ]

Action

[castintofire]

{Maedhros doesn't bother respond, simply heads for the river and searches for Maglor. Finno finds Maglor first and swoops down to land on his shoulders, chirping happily at him.}

Action

[bythewaves]

[ Luin flies up to greet his sibling, hissing crossly and shooing him off his elf's shoulders when she tries to stay longer than a "hello" ]

Hello to you too, Finno. Do not be such a jealous creature, Luin.

[castintofire]

{Finno chuffs at Luin, wings flaring in feigned challenge before taking wing and darting to Maedhros. He grins, rubbing a soothing knuckle down Finno's scales as he approaches.}

Perhaps you have a hidden jealous side, little brother, and Luin is picking up on it?

[bythewaves]

I have always been jealous. [ Maglor smiles up at his brother and gestures to the spot next to him, soothing Luin ]

Luin just needs to learn to share, as I did.

[castintofire]

{Maedhros sits beside his brother and wraps an arm around him, dropping a kiss to his brow.} And just as I had to learn, when you came along. Then again when Tyelko was born. Luin will learn.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor hums happily, leaning into his brother's hold. ]

He will. Although your Finno has much better manners!

[ Luin hisses indignantly at that - HE DOES TO HAVE GOOD MANNERS R U D E ]

[castintofire]

{Maedhros leans their heads together, a little grin appears as he feels Finno preen.}

Careful, Kano, Finno has a big enough ego as is!

[bythewaves]

Ah, perhaps he will be a good example for Luin, as my brother was for me?

[castintofire]

{Maedhrus flushes.} I was fortunate from the beginning with you as my brother.

Finno might have his claws full.

[bythewaves]

You are the best brother any could have asked for. I hope to be a good example for this little one in turn.

[castintofire]

{'But I abandoned you.'

Maedhros brushes a hand gently over Maglor's hair, playing with the ends a bit.}

I love you, Kano.

I know you will be.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor smiles up at him, contentment in his humming, the madness settled and quiet, for the moment ]

I love you too, Nelyo. And I will do my best. How does Sansa?

[castintofire]

{Maedhros returns the smile. It's good to see the madness eased toward the back of his brother's mind.}

Your best is always good enough. She does well. Shall I fetch some of her lemon tarts for you and Lord Ciel?

[bythewaves]

[ Something flickers briefly through his eyes at that, there and gone,

But you left me anyway

Banished by thoughts of Sansa, for now ]

Ciel would like that, I think. [ Maglor nods ] He has a sweet tooth, which is not surprising, considering his actual age!

[castintofire]

{It's seen anyway and Maedhros tightens his hold on his brother, dropping a kiss to the top of his head. He has many regrets, and what he did to Maglor is at the top.}

Then I will bring a platter. And some food, perhaps we could all have dinner together soon? At the Manor.

[bythewaves]

That would be good, I think. Ciel should not be alone.

[castintofire]

None of us should be.

[bythewaves]

He told me you could stay in the Manor too, if you wanted.

[ Maglor leans against him ]

But I told him that you wanted to stay where you and Fingon and Sansa had a home.

[castintofire]

{Maedhros will shelter his family as much as he can.}

Just as you cannot leave Ciel alone, I cannot leave Sansa alone. But perhaps, with the Earl's permission, we might both spend some nights at the Manor.

[bythewaves]

Mm. I would have come home, I promise... but Vincent is gone, as is Sebastian. I know Ciel is strong, but I dislike him being alone. I do not think he will mind if you do - he is kinder than he credits himself.
