Your pardon, but I am unavailable. If you will, leave a message and I will answer as soon as I may.
I am sorry. [ Maglor says gently ] I wish I had a better solution for you, Sorey.
Maybe - but I am sorry, all the same. [ Maglor says softly ]
I told Mikleo once that I would follow his orders - I did mean it.

[ Maglor blinks at him, confused ]
Why? He is our Captain, e'en though the title is arbitrary.

[ his attempts at removing the sharpie mustache opal gave him while in his coma have yet to be wholly successful, but the real thing didn't stop him from showing his face on the network, so what remains of it the next day isn't going to do it either.
smiling he gives the camera a little wave ]
Hi Maglor, how are you?

Hi Maglor, how are you?
Winn! [ Maglor lights up, the sea washing from his eyes as he focuses on the face on his screen ]
You are awake! ... Um, you are aware of your... new facial acroutements, yes?

Oh! [ Maglor's eyes clear ]
But that's... Sorey, we are warriors. In your parlance, soldiers, I suppose. I don't mind being commanded, certainly not in battle, not when emotions can blur reason. That is why Maedhros and I work well together - because we can reach each other, when deep in the battle fever. It tells me that you care enough to stop me, when you do.

Mmm... [Sorey bows his head in thought, because while he doesn't get that strict adherence to command structure and deference to battlefield authority, he can absolutely understand emotions clouding reason. He's made a few mistakes like that himself.]
...okay, [Sorey says at last, nodding firmly,] I think I understand what you're saying now. And I appreciate that you're willing to trust my judgment. If this happens again and I think it's necessary, I'll order you.

I wouldn't have told him that - or you - if I did not think you capable of leading.
[ Maglor says quietly ] My loyalty is not easily bought - the designation might have been given arbitrarily, but my sentiments are not. Thank you, Sorey.

Nothing quite like a good friend to ensure you have a proper wake up greeting
[ Maglor says wryly ]
But you are well otherwise?
[ Maglor says wryly ]
But you are well otherwise?
The best sort of friend. [ Maglor agrees with a laugh ]
Spent some time at home, eh? I am glad they were not too bad, at the least. And what will you do now?

There has been a few things happening. [ He agrees ]
Did you need help?
Did you need help?
Well, yeah actually. [ he runs his fingers through his hair, he's not wholly comfortable with asking for help but it's not ultimately for him and that helps. ]
I missed Opal's birthday and I wanna make it up to her. She's a musician so I thought - writing her a song would be cool but...I never wrote anything but fanfiction. [ cue hopeful look - help? ]

[ Maglor laughs softly ]
Aaah, I see. Is that why she chose to... er, bless you in such a way? Aye, I can help you with that - what sort of song were you thinking of?

No I think that's just her selfless generosity at work.
[ he smiles brightly when he agrees ]
Thanks, Maglor! Something funny, for sure, gotta be. Like 80% of our time we're well - [ he points to his mustache. okay that's the first time it's been physical but they always tease each other, it's how they express their love. ]

Just like a sibling, eh?
[ Maglor nods and smiles ]
Aye, so, you'll want a fast tune then, probably something simple & repetitive, but catchy, so that folk can dance to it, and remember it! Now, as with writing anything, the first step is done, now you have to work out what you want to say! Do you wish to describe her, her personality, her looks. Do you wish to tell a story about her, or to her, do you wish to remember something that happened to the both of you?

[ he smiles when maglor hits the nail right on the head. ]
Exactly.
[ she's his beloved baby sister. he nods as he listens. ]
Well, I was thinking - the first day we met we started arguing about her being a nerd. So, clearly there is no better birthday present than a song proving how wrong she is when she claims she's not a nerd.
Exactly.

You will have to explain that term to me, I think. Also, what she does that would prove - or disprove, that statement!
What she does is argue, which, doesn't really prove anything, but it's fun?
[ shaking his head fondly ]
It's got a bunch of meanings depending who you're talking to but basically it's someone really studious who's into like obscure stuff most people don't care about. Case in point she took advanced scientific classes in school, she likes classical music, she's looking to go to one of the best uh - school of higher learning - in the country, and she hangs out with me.

[ Maglor chuckles softly ]
Ah, I see - so your main argument is that you are also a nerd, and she likes you?
