Coming to visit Grandfather

[elladan]

If he's still my grandfather after the bunny conversation. I guess he still is and I want to see him and thank him for the horse. I could also tell him about the hunting trip with Celegorm, but he didn't like it that much when I told him the last time.

*Hopes that Turgon is not busy, sees Gelgannel*

Gelgannel: Hello, Gelgannel. Is Grandfather busy? I would like to see him if it's possible.

Do you think Fëanaro would blow up the city? *can't really hide his interest in meeting him* I went hunting with Celegorm. Remember I told you?

Which one? I mean, I have a great grandmother and a grandmother... *thinks about bunny stew now, is starting to become obsessed with the image*

[turgonthewise]

Yes! Very good work. How's he behaving? Hands off you?

And I have the worst time picturing Idril with children. I don't think she can even picture your grandfather right now.

But! Just make sure she knows who you are when you go to see Idril, because she has a habit of flirting with prettyboys.

[elladan]

He never put his hands on me, Grandfather.

*actually wished someone put his hands on him, but you don't speak about this with your grandfather*

What if she never meets him? History will change and she might never become my grandmother. And that would be awkward (means the flirting part).

*likes girls too, but is more interested in boys*

Maybe you could show her a picture? I do have a camera. You know what those are?

[turgonthewise]

I do. Actually, I've got one of her. *digs out the picture of Idril holding up a date, his 'she's still alive!' photo* Here's your grandmother. And you know, this is a purely academic question, but you still recall the history of Gondolin, correct?

Aredhel returning with a teenage Maeglin, him spying my daughter and becoming obsessed?

[elladan]

*looks at it* So now I know how she looks. Still, if she never meets Tuor then you and I won't be related. *a little sad at the thought*

I remember, yes. Why?

[turgonthewise]

Well. Aredhel arrived here the other night. The Aredhel of this time. *sips his coffee* That changes things drastically, and yet you still remember your version and your relation. I think you're stuck being part of my bloodline.

Of course, I'm no scientist. Just 'the wise' and all that crap.

[elladan]

As long as I don't turn into a bunny... Forget I said that! It's still strange. I watched a movie a few days ago, Back to the Future. If what they say is true I could disappear if Idril doesn't marry Tuor one day.

[turgonthewise]

Do you FEEL disappeared? Because I think I offered her Gelgannel's hand in marriage to get her out of her rooms.

Not that I'm not all in favour of Tuor. Apparently I quite liked the man.

[elladan]

No, it will happen when she marries Gelgannel. *grins*

I wanted to thank you for the horse, grandfather. I took him to hunt and he's excellent.

[turgonthewise]

Great! I'm glad. I know you miss your family, but I really do hope Gondolin works for you. *and that he doesn't accidentally pop Elladan out of existence*

[elladan]

It's working for now. Going out as a guard of the Gates helped, and galloping through the fields to reach the hunting area helped even more. I'll leave you now, grandfather. I know you are busy.

[turgonthewise]

Gel cuts off my work around eight each night no matter what, so if you come to the palace to visit, I wouldn't be adverse. And Idril will probably be around... *leaves the invitation open*

[elladan]

I will come to visit again, if I'm still around, that is. *teases, but is really worried* Good-bye, grandfather.
