No. I think I've taken enough advantage of your hospitality, but thank you for the offer. He's at least apologizing again, but I suppose it's only a matter of time before that good will runs out. And yet I can't just leave him, either. [sigh]
I know people want me to, though I suspect they meant more for his well-being than mine.
Tis no trouble, Swift, I promise. It's nice to have young ones in the house. [ He teases lightly ]
Mm, for bot of your sakes, I think. But I will, I suppose, see if there might be another way to teach him. If violence is what he knows... perhaps some self-discipline might help.
I suppose protesting wouldn't change your opinion.
It isn't his fault. He doesn't mean to. I'm not sure how well he'd respond to more violence, but if you think you have an idea, by all means try. I've run out of them.
Mm. I don't know if it will work, but it helped Caranthir, long ago. Physical exertion, that is. I'll take him out to the training fields.
[ A soft, hollow laugh ] He's been wary of me ever since he visited the house. I suppose I might as well see if I can leverage that. Get him some sword training, while we're at it.
His stubborness is not on you - that is entirely his responsibility. We shall see. And you are his beloved, not his mother! He really is old enough to be managing such things on his own back. But we will see if a few rounds on the training fields will help that.
I'll let you try a few things then, and you can see what you might like. I was a dual-wielder myself for a while, although both Maedhros and Curufin favor single blades.

[As for the rest of it, he doesn't even bother to deny it.]

I warned you about Hadriel. Although I think this was him being afraid, and not the city itself. Fear will do... strange things to a person.
[ Oh my brother, my brother, if I had bound you, would you have stayed? whispers memory, but Maglor says nothing ]
Do you want to stay with us for a while?

Perhaps I haven't done my own job, either. He shouldn't be an ass and I should be able to keep him from being one.

Re: [Voice]
I hope it will help. I'll see what I can do to pull myself together as well.

[ A pause ]
I can teach you too, if you want. Or I can ask Fingon or Maedhros or Curufin?
Re: [Voice]
I...I would appreciate that. Thank you.
Re: [Voice]
I would not offer if I did not mean it! I will bring Seel down early. Come by later - although I won't go easy on you!
Re: [Voice]
I'd appreciate that. If nothing else, it will give me something to focus on. I know better than to expect easy, at least.

Is there a style you favor?

I am a harsh taskmaster, but not cruel. You will be sore, Swift - but I promise, I won't ask more than you can give.
