Getting settled
I visited Turgon in his office today. It went well. Maybe I can see Fingon soon. I hadn't realized how much I missed seeing him until his name came up in conversation.
Turgon: *thinking very strongly of lunch in his office, since it's a rainy day and he doesn't want to go out to get it*
Maedhros: *shows up in front of Turgon's secretary in a wet hooded coat, muddy boots, soggy hair* Excuse me, is this where I might find Turgon? I'm his cousin.
Gelgannel: *was about to comment on the mess Maedhros was leaving until the keyword 'cousin' came up and quickly hits the intercom button* Sir, your cousin is here.
Turgon: *abandons lunch thoughts, thinking it's Celegorm and replies* Send him in.
Gelgannel: *goes to open the door for Maedhros* Here you are, sir.
Maedhros: Thank you. *steps inside and looks at Turgon* Cousin. You look well. *looks at a chair but hesitates sitting since he's wet* Tyelkormo told me I needed to come see you and let you know I have arrived. *looks a bit lost* Honestly, I'm not sure how I got here. Nevertheless, here I am.
Turgon: *blinks, surprised it's really not who he expected* Sit! Sit, Maedhros. And I'll explain everything I can. *gestures to the chair* Are you hungry? I was about to order food.
Maedhros: *takes off wet coat, drapes it over the arm of the chair and sits* I am, yes. Tyel has nothing but beef jerky and cheese in his apartment. Anything hot would be wonderful. *smiles* I was going to purchase food on the way here, but I realized that I have no money.
Turgon: I'll take care of that for you. *opens up the intercom and puts in a food order* Gel will have us something shortly. So. When are you from?
Maedhros: *scratches his chin* The last thing I remember is my father's anger when I brought news of your father's demise and of the silmaril's capture. He was enraged. I've never seen him in such a state! By the end of the evening, we had all sworn an oath to reclaim the sacred stones at any cost. We drank by the fire, fell asleep and I woke up here in my brother's backyard.
Turgon: so I assume Celegorm's told you that the oath is no longer in effect? You chose a very good time to be plucked out of time, Maedhros.
Maedhros: He did, yes. *flushes* Tyel told me quite a bit about our family history...and I am ashamed. *looks earnestly at Turgon* The moment I swore that oath, I wanted to take it back. It's as if Eru heard my wish and granted me the deepest desire of my heart. More than anything, I want to atone for my sins...if I can.
Turgon: I believe you'll be able to. I really do.
Door: *opens, Gelgannel has arrived with food*
Turgon: Ah! Very good. *sets it out at table to the side*
Turgon: And of course, your father has one of his silmarils back already. Do keep an eye on him and your brother, will you?
Maedhros: *pales* He does?? *pinches the bridge of his nose* Tyel failed to tell me that. I will definitely keep an eye on both of them. *reaches for the food* So...is Fingon here? In Gondolin, I mean. It feels like forever since I've seen him.
Turgon: Yes, he is. And I think he'll be quite excited to see you. I've given him a job organizing events for the city, so he may try to rope you into helping with that. *takes a sip of his drink* Really, it's good to see you, Maedhros. What sort of home would you like?
Maedhros: *grins* I would like to help him, actually. I'm quite good at organizing. As far as a home...I don't really know. Something small with a back garden. Close to my brother, if possible. I like green, if that helps.
Turgon: I can arrange that. Normally the orientation at the red building would give you money, but it seems Celegorm skipped that. *goes to his desk and pulls out a box, counting some money for Maedhros*
Maedhros: *finishes off the food* Thank you. I have a feeling Tyel skipped quite a few things. *grins* So many things are different here. Odd. I hope I'll be self-sufficient soon. *stands and offers his hand* If there's anything I can do for you, let me know.
Turgon: thank you, cousin. And good luck finding your place here. *smiles* come to me if you need anything. Or ask Fingon, I suppose.
Turgon: *thinking very strongly of lunch in his office, since it's a rainy day and he doesn't want to go out to get it*
