Responses will be slow because I have a lot going on, but I can't get him out of my head

[faithfulwisdom]

So we are to dance this dance again, my lady? [He looks a little more amused than he should, all things considered.] Have you found your courage at last? Or is this to be another half-hearted effort, abandoned at the first misstep?

Finish what you begin, child. [Somehow the rebuke doesn't sound so harsh coming from him, though. It's softened by a good humor and a genuine affection.] If you have learned nothing else from my tale, you will know, at least, that I am one to see things to their proper end.

[There's a pause as he considers. All-in-all, he doesn't object too much to the mun's ideas. He's fairly certain he can handle whatever she may throw at him. But there are certain logistics...]

You realize, of course, that you cannot place me anywhere you have my sister already? A pity, but it cannot be helped.

A shame that I'll not have my mother and uncle both with me but for in this place.

[faithfulwisdom]

And a further shame that I will not have the privilege of knowing my niece as well as I might.

[ladyofrivendell]

At least we've this place, uncle.

Are there any definitive plans for you?

[faithfulwisdom]

And far be for me to take this for granted. [A smile, because he really id glad to get the chance to meet her at all.]

Very little has been decided with any certainty. She has time enough to consider things thoroughly.

[rapunzelf]

My sympathies, my lord. It is always difficult to be separated from those you love.

[faithfulwisdom]

[A faint smile] Alas, it is a difficulty my kin have come to know well.

But if I am not mistaken, that pain is well known to you also. For surely such beauty can only belong to Lúthien of Doriath. [It's not a pick up line, obviously. Just a genuine complement. He's heard a lot of good things, you know.]

sorry not sorry

[flamingsonofabitch]

[ Oh. How exciting. Another one of his youngest brother's spawn.

... all right so Findarato really isn't that bad as far as nephews go. He is certainly more agreeable company than some other nieces and nephews Feanor could mention. ]

I am certain your sister will continue to handle herself just fine. Your mun, on the other hand, well... I suppose we shall see.

Never be sorry

[faithfulwisdom]

[At least he's more even-keeled than Artanis? Less likely to be snappish, anyway. As it is, he just offers a wry smile.]

I would think it would be your mun who faces the greatest challenge, uncle; you are not known for humoring unwelcome rule.

[flamingsonofabitch]

[ That gets a chuckle out of him, and he shrugs, not denying it at all. ]

It is more interesting than the Halls of Mandos.

[faithfulwisdom]

That I will not argue. [Good survival instincts apparently do not run through Finwe's line.]

[flamingsonofabitch]

[ Feanor gives his nephew a thoughtful look. ]

You left the Halls, did you not?

[faithfulwisdom]

I left or I will leave. If I am to go to one of these "games," my lady means to take me from before I reach them at all. [So you can decide on the proper tense to use.]
