Turgon: *comes into Ar's rooms late that night after checking on Lio right after his surgery* Aredhel? You here?

Aredhel: *calls out* It's open! *trying to make Maeglin stay in his bed*

Maeglin: *grumpybaby*

Turgon: *finds her* I've got news.

Maeglin: *sudden shriek and tries to climb out of the crib*

Turgon: gah!

Aredhel: Mae! *scolding tone and grabs him up before he can fall out* What news?

Turgon: Well, I haven't wanted to concern you... do you want this to wait until after we've settled down the little fellow?

Aredhel: *sighs and nods* Yes, please. *annoyed noise* I don't know why he just won't settle for bed

Maeglin: *fussing and tries to wiggle free*

Turgon: *swoops him up* Sometimes Idril would get like this and you just had to wear her out

Aredhel: *slight nod and pokes Mae's nose* Help me, Turu

Turgon: *swings Mae into the air*

Maeglin: *surprised noise before starting to giggleshriek*

Aredhel: *small smile and settles in a chair, sighing* Good, you take care of him for a bit

Turgon: of course, o princess

Aredhel: *smiles* How are you doing, brother? You look slightly less harried than you have been.

Turgon: it's been a big night. And I don't look harried? I must have passed through to the other side
John: I think he's been keeping her in the dark

Aredhel: I said slightly

Turgon: I'll take it. *tossing Mae up*

Maeglin: *flailflail laugh, but definitely getting tired*

Aredhel: *smiles* You're good at that

Turgon: Well, I already went through it once

Aredhel: *nods and kisses Mae's head lightly before Turgon settles him in his crib again* Finally. Thank you *squeezes his arm*

Turgon: I might be on your bad side soon

Aredhel: Why?

Turgon: I've been keeping city news from you. But Lio and Finrod were both hurt tonight. Well, sort of. Lio was hurt. Finrod was kidnapped earlier, but he's back now

Aredhel: ...what? o.o Start from the beginning, Turgon.

Turgon: well. There were murders. And it turned out there were a lot of murderers. And they kidnapped Finrod. And then my guards went in to rescue him, in the sewers, and Lio got stabbed in the stomach. This is the point I realized I should probably tell you

Turgon: and also, I got a dog

Aredhel: *just trying to soak in the information and frowns* Why did you keep this from me?

Turgon: I didn't want to upset you. Not after Eol

Aredhel: Turu, I'm not a flower, I can handle things! How are they? *worried about her cousin and Lio and that there were MURDERS*

Turgon: Lio's not going to die. Finrod's here in his rooms

Aredhel: *sighs* I'm glad they're not dead. Mae's asleep. Let's go see them.

Turgon: *little nod* Finrod. Lio's... not awake.

Seriously, thinking I'm some delicate creature...!
