gondolindrim | I need to drink more but this is how I get into these problems

Ecthelion: *comes to see Turgon*

Turgon: *practicing his speech to Maglor about how 'sometimes things are weird but maybe they should talk about the weird thing and not mention how Turgon keeps fleeing' on Gelgannel*

Gelgannel: *drinking his coffee and trying to sound Feanorian-ish* Rargh. Unrest. Silmarils.

Turgon: This isn't helpful

Gelgannel: Uh. What do you want? Me to grab and kiss you?

Turgon: I'd have to fire myself for harassment

Ecthelion: *overhears all this....what is going on?* Turu?

Turgon: --and get back to work!

Gelgannel: *hurries to sit at his desk*

Turgon: Hello, Lio.

Turgon: Fancy you coming here at this hour you usually don't.

Ecthelion: I... come here at all hours.

Turgon: right. So you do. Do you want coffee?

Ecthelion: Yes, please. *sits, grinning at Turgon* So what was that all about?

Turgon: just roleplaying decision making with Gelgannel. Nothing to worry about

Ecthelion: *arches an eyebrow* Roleplaying sexual harassment?

Turgon: No. No, that was... that was a weird digression

Ecthelion: So. *has brought reports with him* Here's my reports for the week.

Turgon: thanks. *sits and looks them over* I see you promoted some guards. The humans are working out?

Ecthelion: Quite well. I moved Theoden to outside duty.

Turgon: well, here's hoping humans can outrun large land predators.

Ecthelion: I know, it was iffy. But he was looking for a challenge.

Turgon: well. *looks over the other rank changes* not bad. More room for new recruits

Ecthelion: With all the new people in the city, I think we definitely need more guards.

Turgon: I'll sign off on more money for advertising for guards. *pulls out the proper paperwork*

Ecthelion: Thanks.

Idril3: *sniffs Lio's pants and smells his pal Huan* !! :D

Turgon: anything else, Lio?

Ecthelion: *pets him* Wanna come for a visit, Idril3?

Ecthelion: *not looking up, very casual* So you kissed Makalaurë?

Idril3: *about to bark happily to Lio's voice when Turgon's pen surprise-scratches loudly against his paper ripping it* *FLEES THE NOISE*

Turgon: --uh

Ecthelion: *glances up at him* Uh?

Turgon: did Celegorm put out one of those news releases about this?

Ecthelion: *mildly* Well, we live together. He didn't exactly tell the whole city.

Turgon: yeah, well, he's been going around.

Ecthelion: To whom else? *curious*

Turgon: well, he made sure to give his opinion to Kano.

Ecthelion: *smiles* They are brothers. And he was involved.

Turgon: none of Celegorm's business. It was just a wrong call

Ecthelion: Wait, what?

Turgon: I called Celegorm by accident. That's how he found out about the whole damn thing in the first place.

Turgon: He's been interfering since I was young. *frowns*

Ecthelion: He didn't tell me about the phone call...

Turgon: well, it isn't like I went up to him and confessed

Ecthelion: Right, right. So... why did you kiss Makalaurë?

Turgon: I was drunk. It was a drunk kiss. Sometimes you kiss people when you're drunk.

Ecthelion: ...Feanorians?

Turgon: You make that sound like it could have been any Feanorian. Put me in a room with Uncle Feanor and a bottle of rum, and I will not be kissing him.

Ecthelion: Hmm. So it's Makalaurë you want to kiss?

Turgon: If you pass any of this on to Celegorm, I will give Idril3 lots of water and leave him in your underwear drawer. Yes, it's Kano specifically

Ecthelion: I've already got kittens in my drawer. So.... what happened to that human woman?

Turgon: I'm still trying to court her. I don't know if she's noticed

Ecthelion: But now you want to court Makalaurë?

Turgon: I never said I wanted to court him

Ecthelion: Just kiss him. *nods*

Turgon: are you teasing me?

Ecthelion: Merely stating a fact.

Turgon: it was one kiss!

Ecthelion: So you don't want to kiss him again?

Turgon: mnnnng

Ecthelion: So you do!

Turgon: This conversation has gotten out of hand

Ecthelion: What about, what's her name, Eowyn? Do you want to kiss her?

Turgon: yes. This is the sort of conversation we had when we were small, Lio

Ecthelion: You don't want to kiss her, but you want to kiss him. I see.

Turgon: no! Stop!

Turgon: stop saying these things!

Ecthelion: Remain calm, Turu.

Turgon: I'm being taunted

Ecthelion: I'm just trying to understand.

Turgon: well, Lio, sometimes a man wants to kiss more than one person

Ecthelion: Now who is taunting.

Turgon: Next, the birds and the bees

Ecthelion: Fine, fine. I was trying to be a supportive friend, but have it your way.

Turgon: how was that supportive! Supportive would be bringing me the head of Celegorm

Ecthelion: Now. I made him promise not to kill you. I would like you to do the same.

Turgon: I think I already promised you I wouldn't kill him

Ecthelion: Oh. Well, it's still nice to hear it affirmed.

Turgon: he's a horror

Ecthelion: *mildly* I do love him, you know.

Turgon: wait, when did it turn to love?

Ecthelion: A while ago.

Turgon: huh. How about that.

Ecthelion: I know! Unexpected things happen with Feanorians.

Turgon: don't I know it

Ecthelion: So, will there be more kissing?

Turgon: unlikely.

Ecthelion: Do you WANT there to be more kissing?

Turgon: *face goes studiously blank*

Ecthelion: AHA.

Turgon: you get some sort of sick satisfaction from this

Ecthelion: I just want to KNOW.

Turgon: *sighs* Yes, I would like to kiss Maglor again. I do not intend to

Ecthelion: Okay. If you do? Keep it a secret.

Turgon: from who, specifically?

Ecthelion: Celegorm.

Turgon: Celegorm makes me want to blow Maglor in the town square just to piss him off.

Ecthelion: Well. Okay. I'll sell tickets?

Turgon: thank you for supporting me

Ecthelion: will you have public sex with Eowyn too? I could make a mint off of your lovelife.

Turgon: I doubt she'd find the idea as amusing as Maglor

Ecthelion: Maglor does seem to find everything sardonically pleasant.

Turgon: I know. Damn him. *doesn't sound like he minds too much*

Ecthelion: *shakes his head*

Turgon: is your curiousity satisfied?

Ecthelion: Well, I had hoped it was in error, but as long as you're enjoying yourself...

Turgon: well, it was a childhood dream

Ecthelion: Mmm, I remember.

Turgon: I deserve to live a little

Ecthelion: *grins* You do. As I've been telling you for years.

Turgon: *wrinkles his nose at Lio* and I'm sure Elenwe wouldn't mind a drunken kiss

Ecthelion: I'm sure she wouldn't mind more.

Turgon: ...well, we'll see

Ecthelion: I guess we will.

I need to drink more but this is how I get into these problems
