I fear that I cannot answer, but I will endeavour to do so later, if I can.

I'm alright, thank you. Or as alright as I can be. He's never thrown me into a locked room before and I'm not sure what to make of that.

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

From:

bythewaves

[ A sigh ]

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?

From:

swiftlet

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.

From:

swiftlet

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.

From:

swiftlet

It may. I apologize in advance for his stubbornness.

[Sigh]

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.

From:

bythewaves

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.

From:

swiftlet

I know, but I'm supposed to be able to keep a leash on him.

I hope it will help. I'll see what I can do to pull myself together as well.

From:

bythewaves

Again, you are not his mother!

[ A pause ]

I can teach you too, if you want. Or I can ask Fingon or Maedhros or Curufin?

From:

swiftlet

Somehar has to be. It's clear he's not behaving himself.

I...I would appreciate that. Thank you.

From:

bythewaves

Not you, I think! Tis a cruel thing to ask of a lover.

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!

From:

swiftlet

I don't have much of a choice.

I'd appreciate that. If nothing else, it will give me something to focus on. I know better than to expect easy, at least.

From:

bythewaves

Then I will set some time aside for you as well. [ He promises ]

Is there a style you favor?

From:

swiftlet

No. I've not really had the time for very formal training.

From:

bythewaves

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.
