Accidental Video | Seelie & Unseelie | sometime during a break in worm fighting

[ The locket comes alive with a voice - deep and wild as the sea, it sings a lament in a language that seems made for music. The songs starts partway, and it is obvious perhaps that the singer is not aware that he is being recorded. There is the flash of one of the Unseelie imps, before it vanishes offscreen to reveal the singer - a man, or something like one, dark haired and grey eyed, with his face turned up to the stars.

To any who listen, the words of the song will paint themselves in the mind - white ships and blood on the sand, a tall and proud people with bright banners beneath a new-born sun, fire and blood and tears unimaginable, and three brilliant jewels that rival the stars ]

[He knows that voice. Hasn't heard it in centuries, but he knows that voice. So very very well that it makes his heart sing and ache all at once. And the images that came to mind...

He nearly fumbles with the locket to get it to open and transmit in return, eyes a little wide as he hardly dares breathe out one word.]


Adar?!

[A rare distraction that takes his attention from healing. But...It could only be one person.]

[Any other time, he may have regretted interrupting the song. But no, not now. He'll just have to coax more songs out of Maglor later, provided the older elf didn't hide from him. Again.

He probably looks a little strange though, clearly in the midst of controlled chaos that was healing and people coming and going all around him.

And yet his heart pounds, a glance around reminds him he hadn't heard that song any other way but through the locket. Meaning...and that strange glimpse of creatures dark and foul.]


Yes, I am here. It seems these beings are fond of those of Arda.
rivendell_lord: (Serious - that won't happen)

[Curse it. Elrond can see all of that, partially because he knows Maglor. Partially because he can see it in that face. He shakes his head, frown appearing as fingertips brush over the locket face. As if he could touch his foster father.]

It was not your doing. This... [His eyes dart around to take in everything.] None of this has anything to do with you. Nothing you have done caused this.

[SO DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID.]
rivendell_lord: (Alarm - you really should listen)

[personal profile] rivendell_lord 2014-04-11 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He never wants to see Maglor cry. Ever. Even after Maglor had made sure he couldn't follow all those years before. Elrond sighs as he finally turns and walk away from what he was doing, trusting his fellow healers to take over for the moment. Celebrian and Galadriel, if no one else.

When Maglor stopped calling him yonya...he has to do something. Anything. When he's out of the way, he returns his attention to Maglor with a soft smile and another affectionate shake of his head.]


You speak nonsense. I wish to associate with you. You have no business in that court, adar. Make the journey my way.

[It was, without any doubt, a plea. Even if he suspects Maglor won't do as asked. He has to make that request.]

As have you ever been to me, past those first early days.

[Taking two helpless elflings in when he didn't have to. When he could have continued killing. That mask, oh how well he remembers it. Elrond straightens to his own well earned pride.]

For you to say that, who else is there with you? I have missed you these centuries.
rivendell_lord: (You're being a fool)

XD All the blame

[It's not often that he manages to surprise the older elf, it's enough to make him pause as well. The question alone sounded strange. Just as Celebrian did not have all the years of memories with him. A wry half smile touches his lips. Only to fade at the mention of Celegorm.

Ah. Understanding is clear in eyes and posture.]


There are people here whom have been lost as well. [Quiet words to show he really does understand. Another pause.]

It is 2941 of the Third Age, for myself.
rivendell_lord: (Shadows - shit)

[Not a lie, Maglor. Not here. Not with Elrond, to you. Not so plainly, nor at all with the date. He waits patiently, giving the other elf the chance to adjust to what should be impossible, which he had already discovered with Celebrian's brightness of spirit, where it had been dimmed the last time he'd seen her.

That memory, of when he'd last seen Maglor, had him bow his head a little, eyes turning down. The ache of the memory of that day strikes him anew, and he has to take a moment to regain his dignity and composure, though even what he manages to get is thin as he looks back up.]


I will never forget that day, nor the days since.
rivendell_lord: (Do better)

[personal profile] rivendell_lord 2014-05-12 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Never. [Vehement. Even if all Maglor said is true, there was more to it.]

You also gave us love. There is no use in what could have been. Only what now is.

[He hears both. And shakes his head a little, gaze remaining firm and refusing to be swayed.]

Life may have a taint, but that does not negate the joy to be found if you just allow it! Your voice in song only brings joy.

Even for me?

[Perhaps it was selfish of him, but the words slip out before he can stop them. Not something that happens often, but...sometimes it happens.]

[He lets Maglor take his time. He hears that soft allowance and lets out a breath of his own.]

I do. I always stopped to listen when I heard your voice on the wind.
warmassummersday: (sorrow 2)

[personal profile] warmassummersday 2014-05-24 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
[His heart clenches at that uncertain voice and he smiles, though Maglor has to be able to see the ache in the gesture. The smile is for him.]

Yes.

[An attempt is better than nothing at all.]

See that you do. I am here, even if only in this form.

[A limitless offer to always be ready and willing to talk. To help, as best he can.]
