Who: Maedhros & Family | Maedhros & Open
What: Quality time is good for the soul.
Where: All around the train.
When: Day 30
Notes: Usual warnings for Maedhros's issues. Other than that, I don't foresee any problems?

(For Nerdanel -)

(Thousands and thousands of years could pass, he could see countless battles, countless losses and his need for his mother's company remains unchanged. So Maedhros seeks her out, quietly approaching her and cautiously resting his cheek against her vibrant hair.)

Mother... (He saw a certain sculpture and it has weighed heavily on his mind.) How are you?

(/)

(For Fingon -)

(A bouquet of flowers in one hand, ears red, Maedhros approaches his cousin and presses gently against his back.)

For you. (He presents the colorful gift, tilting his head to give Fingon a small smile. This time, at least, he isn't planning on telling him horrible news. Of course that is no guarantee that their conversation won't drift in that direction.)

(/)

(FAM)

(If you are kin to Maedhros, he will be seeking you out. The visit can be brief - a hug, some words of encouragement and then he leaves you to your business - or it can lead to longer conversations. He is an Elf that can sense when he has overstayed his welcome, so don't worry about him becoming a large pest.)

(/)

(OPEN)

(With his family accounted for and settled, Maedhros is freely wandering, humming ancient songs under his breath. No, his voice isn't bad. Of course, next to his musical brother, a songbird would sound ill-trained. Perhaps that is why he rarely sings, though he does enjoy the pastime.)

"All right, I did try to show my affection to all of you, at one time or another. I'd try to comfort you if you were sad. When I was old enough to be trusted with a forge hammer in my hand, I made gifts for everyone. The cousins, too, sometimes. And I did try to protect you all on occasion, especially Amras and Amrod, when they were small and adventurous." Smile. "I remember how often I used to go down to the ravine to search for them because they were late for dinner and our parents were worried about them."

Maedhros was a wonderful tree to climb! A Maedhros Tree! And it was true that no matter how anxious or fussy Curufin was, Maedhros could always cheer him up.

"I don't know how you'd have dragged us all home." He smiles a little, imagining Maedhros picking up their protesting father, slinging him over his shoulders, and hauling him back to Tirion. Even if he had to throw him into a boat and row it himself. "I can imagine. We should have done it. The responsibility shouldn't have fallen all on you because you're the eldest son."

His face turns a little sad now. "Nor will I forget the day I died and left you unwillingly."
