The one where I express distaste for sewer rats
I caught Lio peering into the city sewers, looking for Eru knows what. I took him to dinner instead of offering to help search. He needed a break, and I wanted to spend time with him. Everyone is a winner.
Ecthelion: *walking around the city, stopping at various manhole covers and sewer grates, to take notes*
Celegorm: *walking back from his visit with Aredhel and notices Lio squatting in front of a sewer grate* If you're hungry, I promise I can find you something better to eat than a sewer rat.
Ecthelion: *looks up, grinning* Well, I AM starving, but hopefully I won't have to resort to that.
Celegorm: *walks over to him and leans down* You know...I can help out with that whole starving thing. I hear they serve food in this city. Wanna go find some?
Ecthelion: *straightens up* I would like that but... *is torn between work and eating*
Celegorm: But, what? If you don't eat, you won't have any energy to continue digging around in sewers. I'd hate for you to pass out from hunger and fall head-first into the muck. *tugs at his hand* Come on. My treat.
Ecthelion: *well, IS very hungry, and cannot deny he quite likes Celegorm's company so, gives in* You've convinced me. *grins and pockets his notebook*
Celegorm: I see my powers of persuasion still work. *grins* So how is the case going?
Ecthelion: Well, we actually just had our first break... Finrod came across some elves leaving a victim...
Celegorm: *surprised* Elves? Really? I had thought for sure it would have been men doing the killing. What race was the victim?
Ecthelion: An elf. So that makes a human, a dwarf, and an elf. No real pattern there.
Celegorm: No, no pattern, but it's interesting that Elves are killing other Elves, especially given the situation with my family.
Ecthelion: *nods, giving his hand a squeeze* It seems to be some kind of sacrifice. And we think they might be hiding in the sewers. So we're trying to figure that out.
Celegorm: I'll keep my eyes open for anything that looks strange. *squeezes Lio's hand back* Just promise me that you'll remember to eat. And sleep. Sleeping is good.
Ecthelion: Thanks. And be careful. I know you can take care of yourself, but... *trails off* I haven't been doing much of either, I admit...
Celegorm: We're taking care of one of those right now. *steers him into an Italian restaurant* I hear there are good noodles in this place, and warm bread. *inhales* And, apparently, garlic.
Ecthelion: *groans* Oh this smells fantastic... *hopes his stomach isn't growling TOO loudly*
Celegorm: *holds out a chair at a table near the back* So that's what I heard...I thought there was a lion prowling the alleyway. *grins and sits next to him*
Ecthelion: *sits and laughs* I might have to start packing snacks to keep in my pockets, this is becoming a problem.
Celegorm: Or, you know, just stop and eat. Am I going to have to start checking up on you? Bringing you sack lunches? *motions for a waiter and orders wine and bread*
Ecthelion: I usually grab something on my way in in the morning, and when I go home at night... *doesn't mention that he's been working round the clock lately though* Sometimes Finrod remembers to bring food...
Celegorm: *arches an eyebrow* I've seen what he eats. I'll make sure to check up on you. *pours the wine when it arrives and breaks off some bread for each of them*
Ecthelion: Thanks...*happily devours the bread, then takes a sip of the wine* Oh that's good...
Celegorm: *grins* It is, and I'm sure it's even better on an empty stomach. *orders for both of them* I'm assuming red sauce is okay with you.
Ecthelion: Sounds great... *smiles* I am usually quite capable of feeding myself. I'm just ... tied up with the case.
Celegorm: *puts a hand on his leg and squeezes* I understand. I've been there. Trust me, there were days on the battlefield when the last thing I thought of was a hot meal...of course, I didn't have anyone looking out for me, but you do.
Ecthelion: *nods* Of course, you would understand. *leans a bit into his touch* Thank you... it means a lot.
Celegorm: I want you to stay healthy...at least until I can get you home and do all sorts of unhealthy things with you. *winks*
Ecthelion: *sips his wine and grins* You are full of temptations...
Celegorm: *laughs* I'm glad you think so. Most around here think I'm just full of shit.
Ecthelion: *laughs too* I think they might not see what I see.
Celegorm: And what do you see? *grins and sips his wine*
Ecthelion: *looks him over, sipping his wine, and licks his lips* A sight for sore eyes...
Celegorm: *smiles* I like the way that sounds. *rubs his leg* And it's nice to spend time with someone who isn't blowing spit bubbles while he eats.
Ecthelion: *laughs, warmth spreading where Celegorm touches* And who are you eating with?
Celegorm: Aredhel and her son Maeglin. He's cute, but he's messy as hell. I'd forgotten how much of a handful toddlers can be. It's been a long time since I've been around children.
Ecthelion: I haven't been around children much at all... *smiles* But I have to get over and see Aredhel and Maeglin, when I have time. How is she?
Celegorm: She is doing well, as is Maeglin, though I worry about Eol. She assured me that he won't be a problem, but still...as long as he's alive, he's a problem.
Ecthelion: *nods* That's what I hear... I hope he doesn't find his way to the city as well.
Celegorm: If he does...*wry grin* Well, maybe we can suggest a new victim to the killer elves.
Ecthelion: *shakes his head, grinning* I can't say that would be a sacrifice that would bother too many people...
Celegorm: Sorry...I know that joke was in poor taste. *grins* Sometimes I can't help myself. When all of this stuff is over and the culprits have been captured...*squeezes Lio's knee* we'll do something special. You name it.
Ecthelion: Oh... *thinks, enjoying his wine* Maybe another camping trip...or maybe we can spend some time at one of the bath-houses...
Celegorm: *eyebrows raised* There are bath-houses? Clearly, I need to get out more. Where are they?
Ecthelion: *grins* They're down along the Way of Running Waters... some are just regular bathhouses and steam rooms, all public, but there are a few really nice ones, like spas... where you can get your own private baths, food service, drinks, that kind of thing...
Celegorm: *grins* That sounds amazing. *rubs Lio's thigh again* Just imagine how great you'd feel after a day spent at a spa. And there's not much better than a really good footrub after a long day spent working.
Lio: *soft moan, thinking about it* You're right, that's the best...
Celegorm: *places his hand on Lio's cheek* So promise me you'll be safe and take care of yourself, and we'll go as soon as it's all over. *gives him a soft kiss*
Ecthelion: *slow kiss back* I promise...I can't wait.
Ecthelion: *walking around the city, stopping at various manhole covers and sewer grates, to take notes*
