Time to report to the boss

[dagnir]

Turgon: *decides this delicate matter should be taken where there's no prying eyes or ears, like Lio's home*

Dagnir: *meanwhile, has a report and is wiggling his way in through Lio's bedroom window*


Ecthelion: *napping on the bed*

Dagnir: *lands on Lio's head*

Ecthelion: *startles awake with a yell*

Dagnir: *yowls and under the bed*

Ecthelion: *sits up, feeling his head to make sure it's still attached* What the hell.... cat?

Dagnir: mrooowl

Ecthelion: Come out!

Dagnir: *pokes his head out* Did not notice you there.

Dagnir: *not admitting he lost his footing*

Ecthelion: Have you found something out?

Dagnir: *grooms a paw* I no find elves, but I find hidden person.

Ecthelion: *yawns and stretches* A hidden person?

Dagnir: Yes. Woman. I get her to a home. *keeps grooming* Is good work?

Dagnir: She afraid of horsemen

Ecthelion: Of horsemen? *stands and makes his way to the kitchen, gesturing for Dagnir to follow*

Dagnir: *trots over* I think my human horseman? I do not know.

Ecthelion: *thinks* Oh, Theo. *has read a little about the Rohirrim* Do you think she is involved with the murders, or just a lost woman?

Dagnir: Just lost. No stink of blood. Just hunger, days hidden.

Dagnir: I lead her to where she need be. *not mentioning interference from ravens*

Ecthelion: *pours himself a drink* Well, that's a good thing. Thanks.

Turgon: *can hear voices, but knocks*

Dagnir: fis--*hears knock and off under the couch*

Ecthelion: *only wearing pajama pants after his nap; calls out* Who is it?

Turgon: Your king!

Ecthelion: Oh, Turu... *hurries to the door* Come in.

Turgon: thanks. Who were you talking to? Is Celegorm here? *noting the toplessness*

Ecthelion: *shakes his head* No, I'm alone... just talking to myself.

Turgon: And answering back?

Ecthelion: ...no. >.>

Turgon: *raises an eyebrow*

Ecthelion: Anyway, what's up?

Turgon: nice topic change. I'm here about my little brother

Ecthelion: Well, I didn't think you were just here for a social call. But sit down, can I get you a drink?

Turgon: Please. It's not a nice topic

Ecthelion: *pours a drink for him, and gets his own, then sits with him* What's going on? Is Arakano okay?

Turgon: some elf tried to rape him. I want you to deal with them. Arakano wants a private interview with you over it

Ecthelion: .... tried to RAPE him?

Turgon: Yes. *sips his drink* And now he's going around with a knife and paranoid and scared.

Ecthelion: Well, I'll definitely talk to him. Did he tell you what happened?

Turgon: Mm. He was at the Drunken Maia with our cousin, Finrod, when he was attacked. He thinks it was because he was serving drinks in the House of Satari

Ecthelion: Oh. Wait. The bartender from the Drunken Maia came to see me, to tell me about this, but she described it as an attempted kidnapping, not a rape.

Turgon: *sighs* I never want to hear my brother say the word 'whore' again, especially in description of himself

Ecthelion: So, was there an actual rape attempt at some point? Because Atituma said Finrod intervened. I was planning on asking him what happened and trying to track down that elf. I wonder if it's connected to the murders...

Turgon: no, that was just the elf's intention

Ecthelion: Oh, okay, I see. Well, I'll talk to Arakano and Finrod tomorrow...

Turgon: thank you. So where is your guest hidden? *looks around the room, finishing off his drink*

Ecthelion: There is not guest! *laughs*

Turgon: who were you talking to, then?

Dagnir: *comes out from his hiding place, yowling and definitely not talking*

Turgon: ...oh god, what is that

Dagnir: mrooooWWWwwwlll

Ecthelion: Oooh, maybe you heard me talking to the cat...

Turgon: I mistook *that* for a voice?

Dagnir: mroooowllll *gives Turgon his scariest look*

Turgon: ...it's the warg puppy!

Ecthelion: Well, he IS the only one here...

Turgon: You kept it?

Ecthelion: No, no, he seems to roam the city, although I think he mostly belongs to one of my guards. But he often shows up here and I've seen him at the guardhouse too.

Ecthelion: *this is all true, just not mentioning the talking*

Turgon: ugh. What a creature

Dagnir: *bares more than his snaggletooth*

Ecthelion: *has grown quite fond of him* You get used to it! He's not that bad.


Turgon: I suppose. *pulls his foot back as Dagnir approaches*

Dagnir: *serenades Turgon with his yowls*

Turgon: I should get going

Ecthelion: No, I'll get rid of him. Cat!

Dagnir: *gets under the couch and continues*

Turgon: it's fine, it's fine. *getting up*

Ecthelion: Well, I was going to ask if you had eaten dinner yet? Maybe we could get something?

Turgon: sure, anything. I'll wait outside. *flees*

Dagnir: *little cat laugh*

Ecthelion: *hisses* Mean. *but gets him fish anyway* Let yourself out. *goes to get dressed, then goes to meet Turgon*

Dagnir: *gobble*

He calls me a warg puppy? It is time to look for girlcats as loud as I can outside his bedroom window.
