[ he laughs, positively giddy, and claps enthusiastically. ]

That is amazing - you're a genius. Okay - let me try - [ he clears his throat and thinks for a moment before singing to the same tune. ]

I knew a girl, a studious girl
This gift she'll probably hate
The lyrics are too easy to analyze
And the score was written after 1798.

How's that?

[ Maglor smiles at him approvingly ]

Oh well done! I hardly think you need me, Winn, if you can pull together a verse like that! The last line runs a little uneven, but I think we can forgive that, as I cannot see a way around it, yet.

It's my first try - I'll get better.

[ so much grinning at the compliment though. ]

I definitely need you, though, that tune is inspiring.

I am sure you will - and thank you! I find that most music needs very little work, once you find the tune it is meant for.

It's all about getting the right composer, right?

[ n u d g e ]

Okay um - how's this? [ he clears his throat and sings ]

I knew a girl, a brilliant girl,
And as luck has it I know her still
As I string words together she surely will scoff
But it won't change how I feel

[ Maglor smiles, bowing slightly - one thing he has always been proud of is his musical ability ]

Oh well done! An excellent verse.

She likes to read and she likes to learn,
She likes to teach me too!
Oh her smiles are bright,
And her eyes are sharp
But her mind is sharper still!

If you happen upon her remember these words
Though her appearance misleading may be
There is no kinder soul than this little nerd

[ he pauses, trying to figure out how to rhyme this ]

Please forgive me, I must now flee?

[ Maglor laughs gaily at that ]

An excellent ending, and one that will prove propehtic, I fear, although you will not long be able to evade her on these ships!

Although I think you might want to try Please forgive me for now I must flee and see if it scans better

[ he laughs ]

It's okay, I'm not really gonna try.

[ nodding. ]

Should we try to sing the whole thing, see what it sounds like?

But of course - are you planning on singing without music or...?

I'd definitely like music, if you're volunteering -

Then you have my aid, Winn.

[ He laughs softly and strikes the opening chords of the song for him ]

Just say the word.

[ behind him, the dictating pen hermione gave him has been hard at work writing down the lyrics. so he turns to grab that sheet of paper now and nods. ]

I knew a girl, a clever girl,
From a town of cold and rain
Oh she smiled at me, and she laughed at me,
But our hearts they were the same.

Her eyes were bright, her tongue was sharp
Her mind of quicksilver made
Oh she smiled at me, and she argued with me
And we love the same video games

I knew a girl, a studious girl
This gift she'll probably hate
The lyrics are too easily analyzed
And the score written past 1798.

I knew a girl, a brilliant girl,
And as luck has it I know her still
As I string words together she surely will scoff
But it won't change how I feel

She likes to read and she likes to learn,
She likes to teach me too!
Oh her smiles are bright,
And her eyes are sharp
But her mind is sharper still!

If you happen upon her remember these words
Though her appearance misleading may be
There is no kinder soul than this little nerd
Please forgive me for now I must flee!

[ Maglor laughs and joins his voice with Winn's, winding around his in support and he smiles ]

Well done, well done! I think you have done an excellent job, Winn.

[ there is a definite proud little blush there, he hasn't done any creative writing in the fleet and he definitely never tried writing lyrics before and he's just so glad he managed to come up with anything at all. ]

Thanks Maglor - seriously, couldn't do it without you. Now we just, gotta record it so I could send it to her.

I am glad to help, Winn. So! How do we do that?

I'll set up the camera -

[ he does that ]

And we hit record, sing it, then I upload the file and send it to her. Easy peasy fresh and squeazy.

And then we wait for her retaliation, hm?

You can stay off camera if you want, I'll totally get it -

[ Maglor laughs ]

Ah now, what sort of friend would I be to leave you to face the storm alone?

[ he pats his shoulder. ]

You -- are a good man. Ready?

[ So briefly Winn is clearly imagining things, shadow flicks through Maglor's eyes, but he laughs ]

When you are, Winn. On three?

[ he might be imagining things, he's still a little out of it from his coma, all them new memories. or maybe he triggered something, he doesn't know maglor well enough to ask, though, does he. ]

On three -

[ he counts down and hits record ]

[ As Winn hits record, Maglor bows to the camera with a wink and strikes the opening chord, stepping back to give Winn center stage, his harp dancing under his hands ]

Oh I know a girl~

[ he sings, acting through it. when the song is done he turns off the camera. ]

That sounded pretty good, didn't it?
