A surprise invitation

I wonder why the King is stopping by.


Turgon: *has sent a formal note announcing his intentions to call on Eowyn that evening*

Eowyn:*wonders whats up; tidies up for a kingly visit*

Melkor: *grumbles as he carries his art supplies to where they belong, trailed by Eddie*

Eowyn: Thank you, Melly!

Melkor: I don't want an elf here!

Eowyn: He is the king and has been very kind to you.

Melkor: rrrr.

Eowyn: *gives her a Look*

Melkor: do I have to see him?

Eowyn: Not if you're going to be rude.

Melkor: I would be SO rude




Eowyn: You can stay in your room.

Melkor: *whoops in joy*

Eowyn: Edric can keep you company.

Melkor: yes he can *grins and runs off with the dog*

Eowyn: *has pie and coffee and tea, in case the king wants refreshments*

Turgon: *arrives on time and knocks politely*

Eowyn: *opens the door* Hello...

Turgon: *smiles and holds out a bottle of wine* Hello, Eowyn. May I come in?

Eowyn: Of course... *welcomes him into the cottage*

Turgon: Lovely home. I've a request for you, madam.

Eowyn: Oh?

Turgon: I could use an escort for the spring festival, and was wondering if you'd do me the honour

Eowyn: *surprised* Me? *had assumed it would be something to do with the house of healing*

Turgon: normally, my escort would be the captain of the guard, but for various reasons... *not ready to call it any sort of date, still feels like cheating*

Eowyn: *nods* I see. Well. I'd very much like to join you.

Turgon: wonderful! *beaming* you get to arrive in a carriage

Eowyn: How lovely! *wonders if he wants her to go to the dancing later*

Turgon: *realizes something* about your foster daughter...

Eowyn: Perhaps I'll have her nanny bring her... *thinking*

Turgon: that may be best. I expect it will be very boring for her

Eowyn: Well, she might like the carnival part of it.

Turgon: the parts the king has to doe
John: do

Eowyn: Yes, she can definitely skip that. Perhaps I'll take her early in the day, if you won't need me then.

Turgon: that sounds like a good plan. There's not a lot for children, I admit. They're a definite minority in Gondolin

Eowyn: Seems like there are more and more of them, with all the humans showing up.

Turgon: and they seem to be creating their own

Eowyn: It's a human thing. *smiles*

Turgon: ingenious. *smiles back, rather likes Eowyn's smile*

Eowyn: If any elven men fall for human women, they might be surprised by the number of children. *amused*

Turgon: *eyes widen* i'll keep that in mind

Eowyn: *is just joking* I imagine it could be a shock!

Turgon: I can imagine. I'll see you tomorrow, then? Five pm

Eowyn: *oh my will have to get something appropriate to wear!* Yes, that will be fine.

Turgon: *bows* You honour me.

Eowyn: As you do me, your majesty.

Melkor: *peeks out once Turgon's gone* what did he want? Was it about me?

Eowyn: *shakes head* No, no.

Melkor: GOOD. The elves can't know I'm Melkor.

Eowyn: They won't, not to worry. *still thinks she is playing along here*

Melkor: *drags out all his art supplies and gets to work drawing an elaborate drawing of an orc battle beneath the cherry trees in the garden's*

I must go shopping. RIGHT AWAY.
