The one where I play matchmaker

[celegorm]

Well, the matchmaking hasn't actually happened yet, but Kana clearly needs to get laid and I'm just the one to help him find a partner. Let's face it. I'm good at finding bedmates.

Celegorm: *knocks on Maglor's door* Hey, Kano...you home?

Maglor: *answers* Tyelkormo! I wasn't expecting you, come in.



Celegorm: *grins* I was on my way to Father's house to drop off some jewels. *hugs* How are you?

Maglor: *returns the hug* I'm well. And you? Moryo gave you the jewels didn't he.

Celegorm: I'm good. No complaints. *pats his pocket* Yep. He asked if I'd run them over to Father...*looks at Maglor* why? Is that a problem?

Maglor: No, I'm just amused. Can I get you a drink?

Celegorm: Sure. Anything would be good. *plops down in a chair* I don't understand why he wouldn't take them himself, but whatever.

Maglor: *gets them both wine* He's sore at Father, it's such a silly thing. Here you go. What mischief have you been up to?

Celegorm: Eh, well...he's sore at me half the time. *grins* Hmm. Mischief, you say? Well, I've gone hunting twice, once with Elladan and once with Lio, and that one turned into a camping trip. Uhh...Ran into Luthien and offered her lessons on how to talk to animals...and...rescued the rabid cat that belongs to the little redhead who is enamored with Father.

Maglor: Hunting? Is that what the young people are calling it these days? *grins* And you mean to say that Luthien did not kill you, and you did not kill the guard?

Celegorm: Well, with Elladan it was hunting. With Lio...*grins* Maybe a little something else. Or a lot of something else. Luthien was surprisingly civil, especially when I offered her something she wanted. And I'm still debating the merits of a dead Theo vs a live Theo.

Maglor: A live Theo at least keeps Turgon in a good mood.

Celegorm: Does he now? I guess that's a mark for the live version. *sips his wine* What about you? Tell me about this mining business.

Maglor: Besides the "Why on earth would Father ask ME"? Father wants jewels for his projects. I'm hoping that means jewelry, but he's got an awfully great number of weapons.

Celegorm: *raises an eyebrow* so you suspect he wants them for something other than necklaces? Hey, at least none of them are silmarils. I checked. *chuckles*

Maglor: *grins* No, no silmarils. Thank god. I don't know what he means to do with them. He does put jewels in hilts. *shrug*

Celegorm: *snorts* That seems ridiculous. They'll only be covered with blood and gore by the end of the battle. I'd rather dangle them from my nipples than put them on a sword.

Maglor: *laughs* I'll choose the sword. They might get ripped out of your nipples.

Celegorm: *grimaces* Eh...good point. Nice wine, by the way. I take it you haven't been entertaining much since you're serving me the good stuff.

Maglor: Why should I waste the good stuff on guests? I keep it for myself.

Celegorm: *laughs* Eru, you're worse than I am!

Maglor: *grins* Maybe. I just happen to like fine wine, thank you.

Celegorm: I know. So...what else do you like these days? I worry that you spend all your time with Moryo.

Maglor: *half shrug* I worry about him. I have my music the rest of the time. And that Sinda is here too. *makes a face*

Celegorm: Which Sinda? Daeron? Yeah, Moryo told me about that. Frankly, I'd like to have a front row seat when he finally runs into Lulu. *grins*

Maglor: Daeron, yes. I feel a little sorry for him, actually...

Celegorm: *both eyebrows up* Seriously? Why??

Maglor: Poor man has gone his whole life thinking he's more talented than I am. Clearly delusional, or has been fed softened truths.

Celegorm: *laughs so hard he nearly spills his wine* Eru forbid anyone dare think he's better than you are! I can, however, attest to the fact that's well and truly delusional.

Maglor: *grins* Don't spill wine on Nelyo's sofa! Yes, it's clear I am the best. But ah well. Whatever helps you sleep at night, as they say. Are you going to that tunnel Moryo's found?

Celegorm: Oh, this is Nelyo's? *dips a finger in the wine and pretends to wipe it on the sofa* No, no tunnel for me, and I wish he'd leave it alone, too. It sounds dangerous and he's so young.

Maglor: Yeah, Nelyo furnished the place. *except all the music stuff, obviously* That's exactly why I agreed to go down with him.

Celegorm: So...what are your impressions of it? Moryo seems to think it's the most awesome thing ever and that we should all go roaming around in it. Maybe I'm being overprotective, but it sounds like a bad idea to me.

Maglor: You know me, I'm not drawn to tunnels the same way Moryo is. But given the warg issues, I do think we should be careful. Which is why I think we should go down with him. At least you and I have plenty of experience dispatching wargs and such.

Celegorm: yeah...I know...I just don't wanna go. *grins*

Maglor: *laughs* That's because there's no bed in there!

Celegorm: Hey! *laughs* I do other things besides sleep and fuck!

Maglor: Bathe? Preen?

Celegorm: *grins* Hunt, for one. You would have starved to death at one point without my bow and arrow, big brother. Music won't make rabbit stew.

Maglor: My survival skills are quite adequate, brother dearest! As you may recall! *amused*

Celegorm: I think we have differing ideas of what adequate means...and I think you need to find a reason to spend more time in bed. Isn't there someone you like? Anyone?

Maglor: *shrugs* If only I could disagree. But sadly no, no one to catch the eye!

Celegorm: Hmm. Maybe you just need a little help. *scratches his chin* Male, female or either?

Maglor: Preferably female. Why, you know someone?

Celegorm: ...well, no, but I can ask around and keep my eyes open. Blonde? Brunette? Redheads are good in the sack. Don't tell Nelyo I said that.

Maglor: *groans and laughs* Well shit, I can't sleep with a redhead now! Thanks, Turko... *just kidding* And I suppose if the guy is pretty enough...

Celegorm: *cackles* Sorry! There are lots of pretty guys here. I'm kind of surprised. I'll keep an eye out for those, too.

Maglor: Ever the benevolent brother.

Celegorm: *finishes off his wine and hands Maglor the glass* I do what I can to help a brother out. *pats Maglor's shoulder* But seriously...You know I'm looking out for you, right? I want you to be happy. I'm happy...we both deserve a little happiness.

Maglor: *takes it* Yes...Yes, we both do.

Celegorm: *grins and gives him a hug* I'm off. Come by for dinner sometime, okay? I'll try to have a blonde waiting for you. *winks*

Maglor: *hugs him back* I will do. As long as the blonde doesn't look like you. *grins*

Celegorm: *pokes out his tongue* You should be so lucky. *waves and head out the door*

Maglor: *waves him off*
