Theo: *setting out food for Dred so he doesn't have to spend much time on his ankle to cook dinner* Heading out tonight for a... thing
Dred: Oh? *finishes up with the the report he's looking over* that sounds...vague.
Theo: *suddenly very intent on the carrots he's peeling* Just a thing. Talking to lord Fingon about uh, duties he wants me to do at the festival.
Dred: Oh really? He seems to really like you. that's good then! Maybe it's an in with Feanor
Theo: I... am not sure this would exactly work out that way. Towards getting Feanor. Since it's sort of a date
Dred: Ooh with Fingon? Well he's very very pretty. But aren't he and his cousin...*handwave* I meaan the books don't say it explicitely but...
Theo: he said they were best friends. So I'm gonna go with no, he's probably not in an incestuous relationship with his cousin
Dred: Well you just never know. I mean elves. *grins* But so. Fingon. that's really..is he as dashing as they say?
Theo: he's... *thinks* incredibly handsome. And made me feel all warm when he was flirting with me
Dred: warm huh? *okay that's adorable*
Theo: and it's not like Feanor can even recognize me yet so I'm not doing anything wrong by seeing what else is out there... And he said he wouldn't cut my head off if I messed up
Dred: Of course you aren't. you deserve to be happy with someone who'll notice you're alive and things. ...I should hope not.
Theo: avenge me, though. If he does.
Theo: he really likes my hair. *grins*
Dred: Oh really now? *grins* andd I wonder WHY. *laughs* Seriously though. I do think the braid works for you
Theo: it'd be everywhere if I didn't braid it. And I can just see it getting caught in my chainmail and the horrors that would then ensue
Dred: that would be really bad. *nods* We had that happen to one of the girls at home who want to be shieldmaids but haven't had much of a chance yet. Had to cut her out of her helmet
Theo: *snickers* Sorry. I shouldn't laugh. That's almost happened to me a few times
Dred: Doesn't look pleasant at all, no. It must HURT.
Theo: and no one has any pity. Anyway. *done with the food prep* I'm off. And hell, if the captain doesn't find out the real reason Fingon requested me, maybe it'll look good for work
Dred: He won't hear anything from me. Good luck. *pause* Uh...be careful and things? From what you've said, and I've read, he's honorable and a gentleman and all but you're still, you know, going to someone's room and all.
Theo: what should I be afraid of? *blinks*
Dred: Just...well, remember that if you decide you don't want to, you can say no things likee that
Theo: *blinks again, then goes bright red* Oh. Right. Yeah.
Dred: Just...you know. Stuff like that.
Theo: *quick nod, thinking about how much BIGGER Fingon is* Got it. I'll see you when I get back, if you're still awake
Dred: *gives him a little salute* Have fun!
( And I DID have fun. Or I will, at any rate. Fingon really does seem fascinated with my hair )I don't even know what I was worried about now.
