Your pardon, but I am unavailable. If you will, leave a message and I will answer as soon as I may.
Ahh... that is a very kind gift, and I am sure one Blethazar will appreciate. Depending on how elaborate they are, I may be able to help but you might do better to ask wider, if there is embroidery to be done, for even if I had known how, my hands are no longer so steady as they were.
Hang on, I can sketch it out.
[He grabs his quill and notebook, scribbling out and image of robes, marking the colors the best he can.]
The Kirin Tor never had much decoration on their robes, just colors really. Except on the belt but I'm sure I can get the design made later.

[ Maglor looks at it thoughtfully ]
I could probably manage that, I think. [ He says slowly ] Apart from the belt, that is. Most of that should be basic hems, which is not that difficult to do.

Are you sure? I- ah, I'll find some way to pay you back, of course.
He has already sent me away. [ Maglor points out doubtfully ]
If he cannot bear to even speak to me, then what good is us staying?

I think so. [ Maglor smiles at him and shakes his head ]
No need for that here - but if you could provide the supplies, that would help.

I can always ask if anyone has some. I wish I'd thought of this sooner, while we were still docked for repairs.
[ Maglor shrugs a little ]
I am used to being hated. [ He says slowly ] If... it helps him I do not mind. But ... it was my suggestion. He... I would that he forgives my kin.

Well, there will be other places where we might be able to buy things, I am sure. But hopefully someone has appropriate stores.
Yeah. I suppose it doesn't need to be done soon, just as long as it's a surprise. I apologized properly so who knows, maybe I'll need to apologize again at some point. Or I'll find out his birthday.
I am sure they will appreciate it, whenever you give it!
Yeah, he definitely won't do that as a favor to anybody. Especially if they don't try to talk to him on their own. [Sorey sighs and scrubs a hand through his hair.] Mikleo can get really hot under the collar, but he calms down soon enough so long as something else doesn't happen to make him angry. Honestly if you just give it a little time, he'll be a lot more open to talking to you.
But it was my fault. [ Maglor says softly ] I know how my family works, Sorey. It was my suggestion - and I could have talked Maedhros out of it, if I wanted. That is my role, Sorey - I am his eyes and ears, but also his conscience. And whether or not Maedhros wants it, he has Father's ability to command, and neither Fingon nor Grandfather have the will to want to oppose him.
[ Maglor blinks and then shakes his head ]
It was not my intent to give that impression! But we are... very close, Sorey. Too close, perhaps - but our family was always a little... strange. Maedhros and I fought together for hundreds of years, long after we were all that we had left...we... the way we were, at the end... Sorey, we were utterly dependent on each other, and very wrong for each other, but by then there was no one to tell us no. We have not... learnt how to untangle ourselves, yet.
Fingon and Grandfather... both of them hold much guilt for the way they died, although neither could help it. But their deaths... hurt Maedhros and I, and they both know it, how their deaths changed the course that we might have taken. In some ways, they both blame themselves. They will not gainsay us, even when they should.
[ Softly, almost to himself ] Finrod and Turgon were wise to leave, I think, although it did not save them, in the end. But Galadriel escaped, and that is something, at least.

[Oof. That sounds like fifteen tons of issues to unpack with a two-ounce spoon, but Sorey doesn't think he's even halfway near qualified to help out with that. Especially since Maglor's already aware of it and isn't exactly asking for his help.]
...if you like, I can explain what you've told me to Mikleo and it might help him understand, though he'd probably appreciate it more if he heard it from one of you.

[ He is the most crazy, sorry Sorey! ]
I... I do not know how to talk to him. [ Maglor admits ] I seem to only make him more angry.

[Within a few hours of his visit to the ring, Maglor may find several bolts of cotten in vibrant colors as close to the Kirin tor robes as he could find. And there's a good chance he got far too much, with only a vague awareness of that fact.
There's a note:
I got what I could, the colors are pretty close. You can keep whatever the robes don't need, I think I got too much.
It's probably obvious who it's from.]
