I spend my days talking with cats and kings.


Turgon: *tries on the outfit at the tailor* What do you think, Lio?

Ecthelion: Snazzy.

Turgon: I'll get it!

Ecthelion: It's impressive.

Turgon: *pays* Sorry I wasn't at the masquerade last night. I've got a rather nice excuse for it. *grins over at Lio* Finrod appeared yesterday!




Ecthelion: Oh, I was waiting for you... *glances up* He did? Wow!

Turgon: yes. I'm very sorry I left you hanging. But... *in such a good mood about Finrod, finds he can say this part easily* I bet you found someone else to make you feel better about my absence.

Turgon: Finrod's still asleep. He was from the ice. He was in better shape than I would have thought from that, but he still needs rest.

Ecthelion: Oh, that's.... not a good time to come from. Better he's here, then.

Turgon: *nod* I was kind of in a tizzy. I got him into a bath and a healer over without realizing that maybe he didn't want me crossing over the two events. I don't think her promising not to peek made him feel any better

Turgon: but he's not at death's door. And... *squeezes Lio's arm* this means Elenwe might appear soon

Ecthelion: *trying to follow all the information in this rush of words; blinks and says finally* Well, yes, maybe she could.

Turgon: *excited* wouldn't that be wonderful?

Ecthelion: *really hopes it's the case, for his sake* Yes, it would be!

Turgon: now tell me about your night. *holding his bag of clothes, has really embraced the whole 'not wearing robes' possibilities*

Ecthelion: Oh, I had a nice time at the festival.

Turgon: was Celegorm there? *no ire in his voice, really good mood*

Ecthelion: Mmhmm.

Turgon: good. I don't feel so guilty for vanishing on you, then

Ecthelion: No need to feel guilty.

Turgon: I know you wouldn't hold it against me. But still. I don't like making plans I don't keep *reaches out to take Lio's arm as they walk*

Ecthelion: *thinks not mentioning Celegorm is wise* It's okay. I'm glad you're happy.

Turgon: *nod* I just feel... happy. I thought I'd have nightmares about the ice once I went to bed, but not a one.

Ecthelion: That's great. *truly means it*

Turgon: tell me what's going on with the guards now. We're a day behind on reports.

Dagnir: *running along a wall beside them, has spying to report* mrooowl

Turgon: *looks up and jerks against Lio* augh!

Dagnir: *glowers down at both of them*

Ecthelion: Um, I'll have to get the reports to you. I had the day off yesterday. *waves at Dagnir*

Turgon: Why is it looking at us like that?

Dagnir: *hops down to get closer to Lio*

Turgon: *backs up*

Ecthelion: Hang on a minute, boss. *leaves him behind and walks to Dagnir*

Turgon: I'll be at my office. You have fun with the warg puppy. *flees*

Ecthelion: What's up?

Dagnir: *gets on his hind legs and paws at Lio* fishelf! Meetings in alleys

Dagnir: Elves hiding! Fish now?

Ecthelion: Hiding where?

Dagnir: in alleys. *just knows this is out of the ordinary, has no idea what they're actually doing is bad, just hoping for fish*

Ecthelion: What are they doing?

Dagnir: talking. fish?

Ecthelion: Did you hear what they were talking about?

Dagnir: *sits back down and thinks hard* sleep? Fish?

Ecthelion: I don't have any fish here. Can you come to my house after?

Dagnir: yes. *headbutts Lio's shin and saunters off*

Ecthelion: *watches him go and wonders about elves in alleys*

Boy, Turu was in a good mood. I sure hope Finrod sticks around and keeps him cheery. But I wonder what the cat was on about. Guess I'll be checking out the alleys.
