*is suffering from severe cabin fever, having nothing to do and nobody to talk to*

*decides to alleviate it by going sailing*

*considers his options* Sloop...shiny, shiny starship...lame and wussy sloop...totally and most triumphantly stellar, shiny, SHINY FLYING STARSHIP.

...

Hmm...just a little test sail totally couldn't hurt...

*flees the tower and in the general direction of town, more than a little freaked out*

*also, isn't nearly intelligent enough to be very susceptible to hypnosis*

*but also figures he couldn't have really seen what he thought he saw*

*thinks he should probably ask Little 'Rendil-dude if he can borrow his boat*

*realizes he can't remember where he said he lived*

*decides it's a perfect opportunity to seek out his Original Bandmate*

*heads to the 24-hour nacho place and loiters*

*wanders around the House of Fingolfin in accordance with the king's instructions: "Make yourself at home"*

*pours himself a drink and plays happily with some knickknacks on shelves*

[Edit] *sits in the park wondering how in Eru's name he's going to fulfill his king's bidding*
