I've been ~~hiding~~ spending time in the House of History lately. So much I need to know.

Maedhros: *at home, reading one of the books he got from House of History, getting more and more disturbed, and rubbing his wrist as he reads*
Maglor: *comes in* Hello, brother!
Maedhros: *looks up* Hello, Kano.

Maglor: *sets some things he's picked up at the market down and settles into a chair opposite* I meant to congratulate you and Findekano on the festival, it went very well!
Maedhros: Oh. *smiles* Thanks! It did seem like everyone had fun.
Maglor: And. No riots or anything. *grins*
Maedhros: I know, can you believe it!
Maglor: Hardly!
Maedhros: You were very good.
Maglor: Thank you.
Maedhros: Did you go to the masquerade?
Maglor: I played a little.
Maedhros: *casually* Did you see Fingon? I hear he's dating that human who likes Atar. *seethes internally*
Maglor: *arches an eyebrow* I didn't see him, no...
Maedhros: We hung out together during the day, but I know he was going to masquerade with that human...
Maglor: What human is this? I haven't heard about Fingon dating anyone...
Maedhros: *frowns* Evidently he's called Theoden. He has long red hair.
Maglor: Theoden, Theoden... I hear a lot about him lately. He's dating Fingon?
Maedhros: Yes.
Maglor: This bothers you. *not a question*
Maedhros: Well. Not really. *squirms and admits* Yes.
Maglor: Why?
Maedhros: Did you know he rescued me off the mountain? Or he will? Or ... something?
Maglor: Yes. I remember it. *furrowed brow* Why?
Maedhros: I was reading about it.
Maglor: What does that have to do with Theoden?
Maedhros: It... doesn't.
Maglor: So then, why does Fingon dating him bother you?
Maedhros: *can't bring himself to admit it* I just... don't understand. Does he want Fingon, or Father?
Maglor: I don't know. *looks at him hard*
Maedhros: *turning red* I just... I dunno. Feel kind of possessive of him. He's my best friend.
Maglor: *nods slowly, thinking*
Maedhros: *quiet*And he saved my... or some version of me... my life.
Maglor: Nelyo, I wish you would make sense.
Maedhros: Sorry, sorry.
Maglor: Well?
Maedhros: Just... I like spending time with him.
Maglor: *nods*
Maedhros: Spending time with him is good...
Maglor: Yes...
Maedhros: I don't know, I guess I am confused.
Maglor: Confused by what?
Maedros: Just feeling jealous.
Maglor: Of Theoden?
Maedhros: *nods*
Maglor: For dating Fingon.
Maedhros: Spending time with him.
Maglor: Ah. *still, has suspicions*
Maedhros: *is so confused talking about it! Not even ready to say it out loud*
Maglor: *well not about to make him*
Maedhros: *sighs* I don't know, Kano. I'm probably reading too much of this... future history.
Maglor: Well, THAT I will not disagree with!
Maedhros: You don't think it's good that I know about these things?
Maglor: Useful, maybe, but not so much good.
Maedhros: Well, it's certainly all rather terrible. *appalled* That I do some of these things!
Maglor: *sighs* I know.
Maedhros: I'm sorry. Of course you do.
Maglor: *slight shrug* Why read it? What is it you're reading of now?
Maedhros: The second kinslaying.
Maglor: *stretches to pluck the book from his hands* Don't read that.
Maedhros: But!
Maglor: But what? *sits back, closing the book*
Maedhros: *weak grin* Knowledge is power?
Maglor: *chuckles* And what power do you need?
Maedhros: *the kind to make Fingon notice me* Well, any power is good, isn't it?
Maglor: I wouldn't say that.

Maybe Kano's right, and I shouldn't be reading all that. But I just want to know everything ~~Fingon did~~ that happened.
