*emerges from the library*

*is pale, sleep-deprived and has possibly had too much caffeine*

*has come to a decision regarding certain things*

*blinks in the bright sunlight*

*stays up all night moping and reading*

*eventually decides to go to the root of all evil*

Reception at the palace, people! :D :D :D

*carries Nellas in over the threshold* <3

*sighs and thinks*

Okay, I'm a bad son, a bad brother and a bad king. Let's add bad father to that list. And then, just to get in a pre-emptive strike, I think bad husband should go up there too.

*returns to the palace, holding Nellas' hand.

Atar? Ammë? Fin?

I have an announcement to make.

She's your daughter's teacher, for crying out loud. She is also, quite possibly, your elder brother's soulmate in an AnGsTy sort of way.

*paces around irritably*

*finds way back to Tirion carrying Aredhel*

*heads straight to House of Fingolfin*

*pounds on the door*

*decides the little darling has been punished long enough and goes up to her room*

Fin, honey? Want to come out horse-riding?

Ow. My head.

*has dim memories of getting drunk with Finrod*

*goes for a wander through the park*

Fucking sun. Too damn bright.

*knocks on Fin's door*

Honey?
