I am an idiot. Maitimo and I went to the bar the other night before I did...other things and it got...well...

Maedhros: *opens the door to the Drunken Maia, still tugging Fingon along with him*

Fingon: *hasn't protested being tugged because touching! Yay! Should probably though*

Maedhros: *leads him up to the bar and signals the bartender* Two ales, please!

Fingon: So I haven't really had the time to come here much. Have you?

Fingon: *conversations are good right?*

Maedhros: Nope. Just heard it was a good place... *when the ale arrives, raises his glass* To a successful festival*

Fingon: To the MOST successful festival *raises his own and clinks* Together we're unstoppable.

Maedhros: *blinks, thinking for a moment of them TOGETHER, then shakes his head as if to clear it* Yes! Of course we are!

Fingon: *that was maybe a bad thing to say, look how he's blinking Maybe I can save this* you're the best partner...work partner that I've ever had.

Maedhros: *smiles, but feels slightly pained* Just ... work?

Fingon: Well in addition to my best friend and favorite relative *slips an arm around him FRIENDLY like. Not any other way. Really*

Maedhros: That's better! *real smile this time, leaning into Fingon's arm; knows he's enjoying that WAY MORE than he should*

Fingon: *leaned into, tries not to think about how that feels good in more than a friends and this makes me happy way* Good!

Maedhros: *hoping this ale starts relaxing him soon* So... what have you been doing here for fun, Finde?

Fingon: Oh well, mostly hanging around, poking into things. Nothing really relaxing as such. Have you been doing anything fun?

Maedhros: Not yet... I have been thinking of scholarly pursuits, though. Maybe research in the House of History...

Fingon: Oh really? *hopes he doesn't find, well, anything. Decides to see if Turgon can talk to them about hiding stuff* That might be interesting. .

Maedhros: I feel like I've missed a lot, by uh... not actually living through it. *eru that sounds stupid* Like you.

Fingon: Well it's been a very long time. But uh...I didn't do much, really. I mean..thinking about it.

Maedhros: No? *still leaning against Fingon, because he CAN; also, thinks he smells rather good*

Fingon: Nothing important *that won't require a lot of telling you painful things. Has the urge to play with Maedhros's hair*

Maedhros: Still, I was thinking of more pleasurable occupations... *sips his ale, also thinking of how warm Fingon feels*

Fingon: Did anything come to mind? *can think of some pleasant occupations*

Maedhros: Well, I was thinking of getting a horse, and riding outside the city.... care to join me?

Fingon: Riding? I'd like that.

Maedhros: You might have to pull some strings with your brother - I hear he's not big on letting people outside the city walls.

Fingon: He's not, no. But this being us...I bet it can happen

Maedhros: *nods, enjoying his ale, and leaning against Fingon -- ALTHOUGH PROBABLY SHOULD NOT BE ENJOYING THAT PART SO MUCH* I miss riding

Fingon: then I think we can definitely arrange it. you should be happy here too. *liking it too. Has this urge to play with Maitimo's hair, reaches up to brush it, then realizes what he..* Sorry, there was some falling down..

Maedhros: *catches his breath* Oh, okay..

Fingon: I...*breathes a little funny himself* But so I'll definitely see about that

Maedhros: Good! *finishes his ale and signals the bartender for another; definitely needs to relax more*

Fingon: *does too. Like really* It'll be so much fun taking you out there. ...On a ride.

Maedhros: *likes this ale, gulps it* Oh yes. I can't wait. To ride. I mean.

Fingon: Definitely. Riding you...Uh with you will be good.

Maedhros: *is relaxing now, but oh dear those stupid thoughts are getting worse* I'm um. Glad you're here.

Fingon: I am too. you showing up was wonderful.

Maedhros: *stretches his legs out, problem with being so tall is that he often feels cramped; however brushing against Fingon's leg almost makes him jump* This is a nice tavern...

Fingon: *did he just brush against...watches in almost horror as his leg sort of involuntarilly moves closer* It's very nice, *tries to tug away discreetly* We should do this more often

Maedhros: Well, we can go out for drinks each time we get work done on the festival! *thinks this is a brilliant idea; also might keep Fingon away from that redhaired human*

Fingon: Drinks with you are a great reward. I'll have a lot of incesti...incentive.

Maedhros: *did he just... is he thinking... oh no, must be too drunk* Oh good, we'll get lots of work done.

Fingon: *totally was just a little drunk himself, so slurred. Has to be it.* Lots, definitely.

Maedhros: *sighs* Although I suppose I need something else to occupy my time too.

Fingon: *can think of a few things* Well, yes, probably. Maybe some kind of hobby. Or something. You're my favorite person to be with but...alone time activities can be...refreshing...

Maedhros: *oh god that sounds... can't think of that; drinks some more* I was thinking of research -- all that history and future history... *laughs* that sounds odd.

Fingon: Oh right you'd mentioned. *laughs* it does sound that way, doesn't it?

Maedhros: I can't even wrap my mind around it!

Fingon: It's extensive all right. I'm sure you'll be able to in time. you always could do anything you put your mind to

Maedhros: *smiles at that and pats Fingon's leg* Thank you, Finde...

Fingon: *little gulp* Uh you're welcome, Maitimo. Any time...

Maedhros: *goes back to sipping his ale and admiring Fingon, in what he imagines is a discreet fashion* I suppose I should also keep tabs on my father.

Fingon: Oh right. yes that's a very good plan *not looking at Maitimo at all nope. Looking at the TABLE. Yes. That's safe*

Maedhros: I worry he's up to something. *looks a little glum at that*

Fingon: *frowning* has he given any signs? I...don't wnat him to cause trouble for all of you so it's better to know early

Maedhros: No, but... I just want to be sure...

Fingon: Well we'll keep an eye out together and I'll help you if you tell me anything

Maedhros: *nods and leans again* Thank you... *mmm he smells so nice*

Fingon: *drapes an arm around Maedhros since he seems drunk enough to not care* I'll always help you and try my best to keep you safe.

Maedhros: Me too... same for you...

Fingon: *grins at him* I think I love ...havingyouhere. It's been the best.

Maedhros: *finishes his ale* Yeah, I miss you when you're not around. *grins*

Fingon: I'll make more time for you then. I mean it's only right.

Maedhros: And not spend too much time with that guard. *oh damn said that out loud*

Fingon: Oh Theo? He looks like y...Never mind uh...I can make time for my friends too and not just him, you're totally right

Maedhros: Good.

Maedhros: *feels a little bad he said that out loud, but pleased with Fingon's answer*

Fingon: *glad he caught himself before finishing what he was saying* I mean you're very important to me and I should show you that. Often.

Maedhros: Yes. You should. *is feeling quite tipsy now*

Fingon: *lets his head drop on Maitimo's shoulder since it seems like a good idea and all*

Maedhros: *pets his leg again* What if your father shows up here? I hope he and my father don't fight

Fingon: I didn't even think about Adar showing up really. ....That would be bad.

Maedhros: I know! *slightly concerned*

Fingon: I guess we'll think about it if it happens... I'll talk to my brother too

Maedhros: Probably we shouldn't worry too much... *shakes his head and drinks more ale* At least until it happens

Fingon: right. that's the point at which it'd be a thing. But until then...

Maedhros: Until then we just relax....

Fingon: Right. And I'm plenty relaxed just now

Maedhros: Me too! *his plan worked! although he is still having those wrong thoughts! but okay they're both relaxed*

Fingon: *totally wrong thoughts. May have to get it out of his system by doing something with the human guard and pretending or something. That could work, Otherwise, yeah, relaxed*

Maedhros: *orders them another round and relaxes MORE; is enjoying the chatting and the closeness*

Fingon: *decides to just relax and enjoy it too. And later on he can act on it, in a safe way with a safe person* Cheers, cousin!

Maedhros: Cheers!

And then, well. Other..things have happened since then and I can't even wrap my head around it. Honestly I am so fucking confused right now.
