Welcome to Gondolin!

Maglor: *comes to find Moryo to go out mining*
Caranthir: *is ready, with supplies for both, quite eager to go out already* Hi, Káno!
Maglor: Ready? You've got what you need?
Caranthir: Everything. *handles Maglor a bag with supplies* This is for you. *grins*
Maglor: *amused* You're very optimistic!
Caranthir: You said you would help me.
( Little brother is learning my tricks! Not good... )

At least that was successful. It was nice to get out for awhile, even if I dislike mines. And Moryo seemed to truly enjoy himself.

I ran into my brother this evening...

Caranthir: *still irritated about meeting Boromir, goes out for a walk*
Maglor: *calls out* Carnistir!
Caranthir: *smiles* Kano! How are you? I heard you sing.
Maglor: I am well. You came to the festival? I did not see you! *though is not surprised*
Caranthir: I came to hear you sing. The rest of the time I have been doing a special research. Turko wanted me to look for references about secret passages.
Maglor: Did you find anything interesting?
( So, probably NOT a trap then... )
Elladan: *sees Maglor... and another Elf*
Caranthir: *smiles* Thank you, Kano!
Maglor: You're welcome! *gives in to the urge to ruffle his hair*
Caranthir: *groans* I'm not a child, you know?
Elladan: *wonders if he should come another day*
Maglor: I promise I will do this until you are a thousand!
Caranthir: *rolls his eyes, but is secretly happy to have found his brothers, even if they see him as a child* I should be going then... *frowns* Who is that?
( Good to see Elladan seems to be settling well. )

Tyelkormo must never learn there are cameras.

Maglor: *heading to the House of History as he told Caranthir he would help look for the silmaril*
Arakano: *walking around the city, sees a somewhat familiar figure ahead. Walks faster* Hello?
Maglor: *turns and sees the familiar elf...not Fingon...not Turgon...not Fingolfin...* Arakano! *that's the one!*
Arakano: Cousin! *is no longer angry about the burning of the ships, and likes his cousins anyway*
( Arakano is easy to get on with... )
Arakano: *leads Maglor, looking around at all the books* There he is! Hi, Moryo!
Maglor: Hello, brother! *quick embrace*
Caranthir: *looks up from his work* Arakano? Maglor? *smiles at them*
Maglor: How are you, wee little brother?
Caranthir: *stops smiling* I'm of age, Maglor *ïs getting used to strange sindarin names* I am fine. Arakano, why are you not in bed?
Arakano *sighs* I told you, I am all right. Really.
Maglor: I am only teasing you, Moryo, you know that!
Caranthir: *calms down, why does Arakano look a bit older than him? No, they must be the same age now* I know. I'm sorry. I'm glad you came.
Maglor: Just think of how mean I would be to Curufin if he were here! *brightly*
Arakano: *smiles too* That would be great! If he were younger than Moryo, that is.
Caranthir: *scowls at Arakano*
Maglor: *amused; for Caranthir's benefit* Curufin has always been younger than Moryo.
Arakano: Yes, but what if he comes from after... *stops, looks embarrassed* I didn't mean, I just thought that he could come from later... I think I'll leave now.
Maglor: *knows what he means, doesn't blame him, just trying to preserve a little of Caranthir's dignity for him* Look after yourself, cousin!
Caranthir: *stops scowling* Come back another day, Arakano.
Arakano: *smiles, and leaves*
Maglor: *waves* So, what did you have in mind, Moryo? *leans against one of the shelves*
( Caranthir and Maglor get adventurous. )


Looking back, it was rather stupid of us to not have a lamp or swords. But at least Carnistir was not injured more severely.

Father is going to be so annoyed.

Maglor: *heading home as the snowfall quickens; spies a familiar dark head, or more accurately a familiar deportment* ...Carnistir, is that you?

Caranthir: *cold because he gave his cloak to Arakano, stops walking* Makalaurë? *smiles, shivering a bit* Hello!

Maglor: *wide smile; he looks so young* You look cold!

( Is either a very good brother, or a very bad one... )

It is odd to see Caranthir so young. But I'm glad he has not had to swear that damned Oath. I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into with a family reunion though.
