In which Turgon fails at subtlety.

Turgon: *taking Maeglin to the park as part of 'give Maeglin and Idril3 a walk' in his work schedule*

Maglor: *spots them; been meaning to talk to Turgon, in light of recent events*

Maeglin: *trying to engage Idril3 in wrassling*

Turgon: No, Mae. Idril3 is a delicate princess

Maglor: Hello, Turgon.

Turgon: GAH!

Maeglin: AHHHH!

Idril3: Wurf?

Maglor: *bends to scritch Idril3* Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. *though clearly not terribly bothered*

Turgon: You scared the baby. You should go before you distress him more.

Maeglin: *totally over it*

Maglor: He seems fine now. Probably he was reacting to you startling.

Turgon: Rrrr.

Maglor: Can we talk?

Turgon: About what? *CASUAL TONE*

Maglor: I think you have an idea what. I heard you called Celegorm by mistake.

Turgon: Celegorm is crazy. Ignore everything he says ever.

Maeglin: Uncle Celly!

Turgon: No, his name is 'Jerkface', Mae.

Maeglin: Uncle Jerkface Celly?

Maglor: This is Maeglin? *amused at the name Uncle Jerkface Celly though*

Turgon: Yes. I'm raising him.

Maglor: Hello, little Maeglin.

Maeglin: *tiny bow*

Maglor: *chuckles*

Turgon: This is your Uncle Maglor, who is also a bad sort.

Maeglin: *thinks that sounds great*

Maglor: *gamely agrees* Yes, very bad. Far worse than Cele. *winks at Mae*

Maeglin: *all his favourite people papa calls bad, so...* Hi! *waves*

Maglor: Hi.

Turgon: You are going to get eaten by a warg.
Turgon: I might be talking to you, Maglor. I'm not sure.

Maglor: Such idle threats... But seriously. What did you say to Cele?

Turgon: I just thought it was you. That's all.

Maglor: I know that part...

Turgon: What part do you want to know?

Maglor: What it was you said.

Turgon: *covers Mae's ears and ignores Mae's angry squeaks* I just said that the night before didn't happen and I was drunk.

Maglor: *arches an eyebrow* Celegorm's really up in arms about it. *which is still funny*

Turgon: Celegorm would be up in arms if I mentioned that you were my cousin.

Maglor: *grins* Probably right.

Turgon: And I didn't mention the kiss. *thinks this is convincing*

Maglor: *knows that for a lie* You did so!

Turgon: I just said I didn't!

Maglor: That you did was the first thing out of my brother's mouth.

Turgon: Then why did you ask me! Maeglin, let's go. We have no time for Maglor's games *completely embarrassed*

Maeglin: *so totally confused*

Maglor: You know that's not the point. I'm not letting you off the hook so easily, and you know it!

Turgon: What hook is there! I was drunk!

Maglor: ...Fine. Alright. Calm down.

Turgon: I am calm!

Maglor: Why'd you run?

Turgon: Well, obviously I was sobering up.

Maglor: Why're you running now?

Turgon: Well, um. It's Mae's naptime.

Maeglin: Isn't!

Turgon: Hush.

Maglor: *knowing look* Well, if you really want to keep pretending nothing's happened... *shrug*

Turgon: Well, don't you?

Maglor: Why should I pretend it didn't? *wouldn't go spreading the details of it around, but isn't suffering any of the guilt Turgon apparently is*

Turgon: It is strange and awkward.

Maglor: A little maybe. So what?

Turgon: I'm also a married man. *picked up Maeglin to make him stop trying to escape the boring grownups*

Maglor: You're a very guilty man, Turukáno.

Turgon: Well, you've had longer to work with it, Kanafinwë.

Maglor: *slight quirk of his mouth* Yes. That I have.

Turgon: Well. I think that settles it. *firmly, not sure what he's managed to settle but thinks this is a good phrase to get out of discussing kissing Maglor*

Maglor: *gives him an odd look* Alright. I'll leave you two to it.

Turgon: Thank you. Come along, Mae.

Idril3: *drops the bit of paper with the poem Turgon was working on in his office on Maglor's foot*
Idril3: :D *tailwag, has been hoping to use the love poem for fetch*

Maglor: *gives Idril3 a pat in farewell and picks up the paper, assuming it's just a random scrap the pug has stolen, but will check to make sure it's nothing important*

Idril3: *waits, then gives up on it being tossed and scampers off after his master*

Maglor: *reads over the rumpled and slightly wet paper; ohhhhshit*

Turgon: *no idea the dog's been raiding his trashbin*

Maglor: *folds it and puts it in his pocket*



Oh eru.
