{'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.

[castintofire]

{Maedhros ruffles his brother's hair, fond.}

I know, Kano. We will protect him together. Both of them.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor leans into the ruffle with a content hum ]

Thank you, Nelyo.

[castintofire]

{Followed by fingers gently threading through and smoothing the hair back into place.}

You are welcome.

good place to end yes?

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor sighs in content, Luin snuggled in his lap and his brother by his side? He has everything he needs, right now. ]

Yes! :3

[castintofire]

{Maedhros is content in the moment. He has his brother, and two sweet little Fire Lizards. Finno settles on his shoulders, nuzzling into his favorite nest, Maedhros' hair.}
