01 [Video]
[To those who know him or are observant, Elrond looks perhaps a little stressed (more so than he usually might). Otherwise he looks quite well, though the image is just of his face.]
Greetings to all, met and unmet alike. I am curious to hear how everyone has managed through the most recent upheavals.
Closed to Castmates
[This was where he looked more worn, though still healthy and only a little bruised. He still manages a smile and holds the locket out a bit further to show he's dressed (unfortunately) in Unseelie colors.]
I am well. Rest easier, my locket of communication has been returned and I will be leaving within two weeks if all goes as planned.
[And he fully expects arguments about this, but won't shy from them.]

[She beyond relieved to hear from him. But it's short-lived at the news.] Two weeks? Why so long?
video / private
[Just a breath, joy in that single word. His smile for her warms just a bit more and he reaches up to brush a fingertip along the edge of his locket, as if he could touch her that way.]
I have tasks here that still need tending to and may take longer. Far longer than I would like, but not as long as they could.
video / private
What tasks? Celegorm and I had an agreement. You would be released when he received his ransom.
video / private
I had already agreed to teaching a kind girl here, prior to you speaking with him. She gave me kindness, and I am returning it in kind. While I am now free to leave, I intend to stay until that is complete.
video / private
[Because Celegorm had made clear that's what Elrond had been. And he'd made it clear that Elrond would easily have been killed.]
video / private
I feel I must, in this case. I ask you for patience, just a little longer.

When he speaks, it's in an urgent whisper, his eye practically pressed against the screen. He's never gotten the hang of this.]
Elrond, is that truly you?
video;
Yes, my friend. I am here, though not where I was when last we spoke.
video;
Radagast looks a bit more alarmed because oh god this is just making him more on edge right now.]
Not where we last spoke, no, where might you be then?
video;
But he can see just how alarmed his friend is getting, so he does try to put his mind at ease.]
The Unseelie court and the land surrounding it.
[And fails miserably because there's nothing nice about how he'd come to be here, really, other than no torture.]
video;
All the way up there? Elrond, that is dangerous territory to venture to, there are orcs and other foul creatures!
video;
which most of Imladris was thankful for.He hesitates so very briefly, head tilting a little to acknowledge the points.]
I am well aware of what is here. I am well, and have an agreement of no harm with those here.

Yes. I have not been ill-treated. [Even the orcs have been leaving him alone.]

[Celebrían is so very persuasive and he can't stand her tears.]
I ask a favor of you. [Though he fully expects her to do so without being asked.] Ride with Celebrían when she departs? We are to meet there.
no subject
You need not ask it. I fully intended to accompany her; I do not think it wise for any of us to travel alone.
no subject
No, it is not. Even the strongest of us should not travel alone.

video and private but only because you started it
Tis good news to hear Lord Elrond. [ 'Lord' he calls him, as if they are merely distant acquaintances ] I am glad that you have not come to further harm.
[ argument? what argument? ]
video | private sob
[He almost doesn't recognize Maglor, so different he looks. No light. Empty. Distant.]
Have I upset you so much that you call me lord without jest?
[His heart hurt just thinking about it. Was this the product of that strange box he'd spied a few days ago in Celegorm's chambers?]
video | private crying
video | private ded
This does not sound like the Maglor I know and love. What has happened to kill the light and music in your being?
video | private sobbing
Kill it? I do not know what you mean Elrond. Nothing of significance has changed.
video | private Soooo dead
Missing, then. It is not within you now, shining out for all to see.
video | private this whole thread is going to break my heart
video | private sounds about right lol
video | private 4eva so I can stop altering this

Action
"I saw, by locket, that you had defended my honour to our kin."
It's a little too abrupt to be a thanks, and his pale-eyed gaze flicks back to the buckle his hands are working upon.
"I wish there were some easy manner of making them see sense..."
