In which Finrod uses grammar that would make Fingolfin cringe.

Ecthelion:*glad to be back at work; goes to see Finrod in his office*

Finrod: *looks up* Hey!

Ecthelion:*grins* Hey! *sits in a chair in front of Finrod's desk* How's it going?

Finrod: Fine, fine. *happily, no new major crimes* What can I do you for?

Ecthelion:*slides over some paperwork* I made some changes in the roster ... put a few more guards on outside duty.

Finrod: *looks at it, nodding* Makes sense...

Ecthelion:I was a little hesitant about letting Theoden outside, since he's a human and who knows if he can outrun those monster birds, but.... *shrugs* Hopefully he won't get eaten.

Finrod: *amused twitch of his mouth* Hopefully! But, we do need people outside of the city walls.

Ecthelion:And Turgon approved the hiring of new guards, so we can add some more to the roster.

Finrod: Oh good. *nodding*

Ecthelion:And evidently he also kissed Maglor. What the hell?

Finrod: *shrugs* I don't know...

Ecthelion:Has he gone crazy while I've been on leave? Is that it?

Finrod: I don't think so. Not any crazier while you were on leave, anyway.

Ecthelion:*sighs* He's always been a little odd... at least since Elenwe died.

Finrod: *nods; but then, haven't they all?* He's had that crush for a long time though...

Ecthelion:Yes, but ... I thought he was over it? Like it was a childhood thing.

Finrod: So did I, but...*shrugs*

Ecthelion:And then he has a relationship with the human woman as well. Puzzling!

Finrod: Is he still courting her?

Ecthelion:I think? He said he wanted to kiss her as well.

Finrod: How odd...

Ecthelion:Rather. I wonder what Maglor's thinking...

Finrod: *shakes his head* I don't know... *a little concerned about it*

Ecthelion:It's made Celegorm rather... upset.

Finrod: *unlordly snort* That's not all that difficult.

Ecthelion:*grins* Now, now. I think I calmed him down.

Finrod: That's good... *it's still irritating how Celegorm seems to live for torment* It sounded like he...overreacted a little.

Ecthelion:I think... he and Turu tend to overreact to each other.

Finrod: *nods* What do you think about it?

Ecthelion:Well, apart from trouble with Celegorm... I mean, I want Turu to have some fun. I've been telling him for years to do so. I thought dating the human woman was a good start. *thinks* This is a surprise though.

Finrod: Yes. I don't know what to tell him.

Ecthelion:Well, they're both adults, and it really isn't anyone's business, as long as no one gets hurt. *grins* Turu did mention blowing Maglor in the square, though.

Finrod: *was thinking more of Turgon's Elenwë-guilt; makes a face* He said that to me too!

Ecthelion:I told him I'd sell tickets. *smiles* I am hoping he can get past his guilt this time, though - with either Maglor or Eowyn.

Finrod: *nods* Me too.

Ecthelion:Or both? *shrugs, holding up his hands* I guess we'll see.

Finrod: *arches an eyebrow* Don't let Celegorm hear you say that. But, yes, I suppose we shall. Or, more likely, we'll see Turukáno succumb to more self-inflicted isolation.

Ecthelion:I've made both Turu and Celegorm promise not to kill each other, and I did ask Turu that if he kisses Maglor again, to keep it between them. Best I can do on that front. *sighs* I hope not on though.

Finrod: *nods* Not killing is good. I know Turu did not mean to tell Celegorm. *I mean, who on earth would?*

Ecthelion:*shudders* I can't imagine he did.

Finrod: Ah, well...we'll see.

Ecthelion:*nods* You hungry? I'll buy you lunch.

Finrod: *nods and grins* Sounds good to me!
