Hello? Ah... I don't know how these work but... I suppose you can... leave a message?

And if you get overly tired or things hurt, you are to say so, and not try and push through it.

[ Has he had to go through this with angsty peredhel children and even more angsty younger brothers? Yes, yes he has ]

[hideawayparadise]

Well, I can't lie. So there's that.

[Basically his teachers always have the advantage of being able to get honest answers out of him. Especially since he's never learned the Fae way of talking to twist the truth.]

I'll be honest with you about how I'm feeling.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor smiles at him fondly, and a little wryly ]

Not lie, yes. 'Accidentally' forget to tell me? I've helped train enough youngsters by now to know how that goes!

[ Looking at you, Elrond and Elros ]

Thank you, Riley - that does ease me to know.

[hideawayparadise]

No. That's not really in my nature. Well, it's in the Fae nature, I guess. But I was raised human.

[He gives a smile and a shrug.]

I won't do that to you though. You're just trying to help me.

[bythewaves]

I think you're already my favourite student, in that case.

[ Maglor teases fondly ]

As I cannot name a single other who could claim that.

[hideawayparadise]

[That made the young man burst out laughing before giving the Elf a big smile.]

I'll wear the title proudly. Maglor's favorite student.

[ Maglor beams, pleased to see Riley's laugh ]

You can tell Elrond, if you like! He'll be so annoyed with me.

[hideawayparadise]

[He laughs again at that. It's really fun how they all mess with each other.]

Maybe I will! Just to see how he reacts.

[ What else is family for

Maglor's smile turns a little sly ]

Remind him, if so, of the fact that I recall every time he his injuries of his own!

[hideawayparadise]

It's funny because he seems so serious but he has no idea that you're here telling me all about how he's totally not. I love it.

[It makes him feel part of the family already.]

[bythewaves]

He's grown up very serious.

[ he agrees ]

But I remember him as a scrappy, angry child! Alas, he will never not be able to escape the embarassing stories.

[hideawayparadise]

It's just going to make me smile any time he tries to be very serious or pretends to be scary to tease me.

[bythewaves]

Oops. [ He does not sound at all sorry ]

Well, he's the kindest person I know, all the same.

[hideawayparadise]

I could tell by how he offered me a place to stay even though we just met.

[bythewaves]

Yes. [ Maglor's eyes go very gentle and fond ]

He has a heart great enough for the world, I think.

[hideawayparadise]

I like that about him. It feels like I've got another dad when I talk to him.

[bythewaves]

Elrond would be so pleased to hear that, I know.
