Gelgannel: *in the park when Dagnir shows up with his kittens and plays the harp for them*

Kittens: *frolic*

Dagnir: *sits and listens, tail twitching happily*

Idril: *out taking Bainil on a walk and sees Gel* Hey! *then sees Dagnir and wrinkles her nose* ew

Bainil: *happily runs over to her kittens*


Dagnir: *dignified air about his mangy self as he just listens to the music*

Gelgannel: *nods to Idril* I've got an audience

Idril: I see that. They're my cat's babies

Gelgannel: They're cute little things

Idril: *nods* The kittens are okay. The dad's kind of a mangy, creepy thing. *sits next to him* I've never heard you play before

Gelgannel: well, he's been behaving himself for me. I assume that's him *nods to Dagnir*

Gelgannel: *still playing* I was trained to play harp before I went off to become a sailor

Idril: *nods* That's him. *watches Gel play* You never told me that. It's beautiful

Gelgannel: I'm still a novice. It's hard to feel too prideful when you're in the same city as Maglor

Idril: *wrinkles her nose* Perhaps I'll give him that. Still, it's pretty.

Gelgannel: thank you. *plays a bit of a sea shanty about sirens for her*

Idril: *grins as she listens, pulling a kitten close to snuggle it, amused a the lyrics*

Fiddle: *ultra soft in her hands*

Gelgannel: just thought of you

Idril: *kisses Fiddle's little head and smiles at Gel* How sweet

Gelgannel: yeah, luring men to their downfall...

Idril: *laughs* You think I lure men to their downfalls?

Gelgannel: you're luring me to mine

Idril: *raises her eyebrows* Oh? What downfall might that be?

Gelgannel: Not sure yet. *steals a kiss*

Idril: *smiles and kisses back* So, getting comfortable finally? *teasing and puts a hand on his knee*

Gelgannel: getting there...

Dagnir: *bores of this flirting and paws on Idril's knee to retrieve Fiddle, he has more to learn that day*

Idril: Good. *squeezes Gel's knee and feels Dagnir's paws on hers* augh! What do you want, cat? *tries to pus him away*

Dagnir: *makes a go for Fiddle, mouth open to catch him by his neck*

Fiddle: *not freaking out, it's just mentorcat*

Idril: HEY! *lifts Fiddle out of the way so Dagnir doesn't eat him*

Dagnir: *annoyed and climbs ALL THE WAY into her lap*

Dagnir: *HUGE*

Idril: O.O Get off get off! *pushes him, setting Fiddle down on the side at the same time*

Dagnir: *snatches fiddle and runs off*

other Kittens: *bail out! and chase after Dagnir*

Bainil: mew?

Idril: o.o What the... Bainil, don't you care about your babies at all?

Bainil: mew? *headtilt, doesn't speak english*

Idril: *tries Sindarin*

Bainil: *doesn't speak ANY language, is a normal cat, unlike Dagnir and the kittens*

Gelgannel: that was weird

Idril: You'd think a mother cat would care that this thing might eat her babies!

Bainil: *groom*

Gelgannel: well, they came here with him.

Gelgannel: I don't think he eats kittens

Idril: *shrugs* Looks like he does. He almost ate the one I was holding!

Gelgannel: he was carrying it...

Idril: To eat

Gelgannel: want to go find where they are?

Gelgannel: I mean, you know how to track, right?

Idril: Yeah, I do. Want to come?

Gelgannel: sure. *straps his harp to his back and follows the cat trail*

Dagnir: *currently teaching his kids how to do surveillance on Grima*

Grima: *creeped out by the row of cats watching him*

Idril: *finds the cats just watching Grima* ...that's weird. What's going on there? And why are they staring at Grima?

Grima: *sees Idril, little shriek and runs off*

Dagnir: *follows! kittens in a line behind him*

Idril: *amused at Grima's reaction still, but watches Dagnir* Look, they're following him!

Gelgannel: I thought herding cats was supposed to be hard, but look at how they're following him

Idril: I wonder what hold he has on them. I mean, they can't prefer him over Bainil...

Gelgannel: well, obviously, he can't feed them. And I've never seen a father cat care about its kittens before

Gelgannel: usually because the mom can have one litter with a bunch of males

Idril: Really? I didn't know that. Except I know these are all his. They all have the same, squished face. Poor things. *glances at him* Want to keep following?

Gelgannel: sure. He does have quite the face, doesn't he

Grima: *in hiding now, because omfg not going to get beaten again*

Dagnir: *moved onto fence patrol lessons, giving the kittens boosts onto a fence*

Idril: Mhm. Squished. *follows Dagnir and kittens* Oh look, he's helping them up!

Dagnir: *goes through the process of hopping down a bunch of boxes to pick up a kitten, climbs up, stands on the top box and lets the kitten climb onto his head, then stands on his hind feet*

Idril: *surprised at how sweet that is* ...awfully attentive of him

Gelgannel: I'm sorry, I'm just confused

Dagnir: *hops up in front of them once all kittens are balancing on the fence and leads them off!*

Kittens: *walk carefully behind him*

Idril: what on earth is going on here? *keeps following*

Bainil: *finally caught up with her mistress* meeeew!

Idril: hush! *picks her up*

Bainil: *wants food* mew mew mew!

Idril: Bainil. hush! We're following your babies!

Dagnir: *has gone into areas that cannot be followed unless you're walking on a fence*

Gelgannel: actually, I think we've lost them

Idril: *sighs* Oh well. I think this one is hungry. Come with me?

Gelgannel: sure. That's a little mystery to ponder.

Idril: *nods* It's very confusing what that cat is up to. *takes his hand and heads for her rooms*

Bainil: *mewing her demands*

Idril: *goes in, letting Gel follow, and sets food out for Bainil* There, have your food, Bainil

Bainil: *eats delicately, already a spoiled housecat*

Dagnir: tries to deposit the kittens for their supper a bit later, all secretly*

Gelgannel: *having tea with Idril*

Idril: *sees Dagnir from the corner of her eye* There you are!

Dagnir: *drops the last kitten and over the balcony!*

Bainil: *fusses over her kittens*

Idril: *sighs* This is my life now, Gel. I'm stuck with four cats and one that keeps coming to steal three every day

Gelgannel: you live a cursed existence, Idril. *inspecting a kitten to see if it's okay*

Baini: *squirms, wants her momma*

Idril: Mmph. I don't even get to come bug you any more

Gelgannel: come to the spring festival with me?

Idril: *surprised look* Really? Sure. *smiles* Which day?

Gelgannel: the second day. I have to help oversee the opening, but once we know everything's working...

Idril: Sounds good. *grins and leans over to kiss him* I want to take more picures of you nude, Gel.

Gelgannel: at least you take flattering pictures

Idril: *grins* Was that consent?

Gelgannel: *sips his tea* it was consent

Kittens: *all exhausted from their big day and lay around the room in various stages of wakefulness*

Idril: *laughs at the cats and looks over to the window where the daylight is coming in just slightly now, with sunset close* Hm. What do you say to a session now? The lighting's pretty nice...

Gelgannel: don't let any of the cats scratch me

Idril: They're practically asleep as is. *smiles at him*

Gelgannel: *gets up and strips*

Idril: *watches him, licking her lips and enjoying the movement of his muscles, then grabs her camera* ...you have really nice skin...

Gelgannel: Even with all the ink in it?

Gelgannel: the problem with being an elf is our skin doesn't get replaced like a human's. This'll take the longest time to even fade

Idril: I like the ink. *moves closer to trail her fingers over the tattoos on his chest* I think it's charming

Gelgannel: *presses his lips against hers*

Idril: *kisses back, holding him by the shoulders*

Gelgannel: *keeps kissing, and loosens his pants*

Idril: *keeps kissing back and lets her hands trail over his chest and down his sides, moaning softly into his kisses*

Turgon: *phones Gel*

Phone: *RING*

Gelgannel: gah!

Idril: ack! o.o Who's calling you at this time?

Gelgannel: *answers*

Turgon: hello! *loud enough for Idril to hear*

Gelgannel: *gone pale*

Idril: o.o DAD?! *grabs the phone from Gel* Dad, Not. Now.

Turgon: Oh, hi, Idril! I need Gel right now

Turgon: like, a lot

Idril: No, not as much as I do

Gelgannel: ohgodidril

Turgon: sorry, I have first dibs

Idril: Not fair! Come on, dad, don't do this. He's finally opening up!

Turgon: you can make him do it again later. Send him to my office

Idril: Aaauuugh. *hangs up and sets the phone aside, annoyed with Turgon and his phones* Damnit, dad.

Gelgannel: *searching for his pants, flushed now*

Idril: *grabs his hands and pulls him close even without his pants, hugging him* please don't pull away again.

Gelgannel: okaysureIneedtogo *quick kiss*

Idril: *kisses back* ...come back after you're done at the office?

Gelgannel: *nods* I will

Idril: *smiles* Good. *finally lets him go*

Oooh, I'm so glad he's not going to pull away! Dad just likes to try to ruin things, but I won't let him this time!
