uncle /weeps

Celebrimbor has barely any time to react when the figure slams into him, full tilt, knocking him back, and nearly over. A snarl is already bubbling at his lips, eyes narrowing as he begins to unleash his sharp tongue on whoever it was who didn't bother-

But the harsh words turn to ash in his mouth, and he stares, and he stares as the panting, wild-eyed figure. His own hand snaps up before he can stop it, gripping at the other elf's arm, holding him still.

"...Uncle?" His voice comes out very small.

sob y'all gonna break his heart (more)

Maglor shakes his head and bites back another cry as he lands on his hands, the shock of the collision breaking some of his shock. The familiar voice has him looking up in shock.

"Tylpë?" He goes pale(r) - why is Celebrimbor here? He left them, didn't he? Hadn't he managed to escape their curse? "What... what are you doing here?

dittooooo

[lastoftheline]

Celebrimbor barely flinches at that nickname, turning away from it cutting down the agonized path through his memories it will take him. He forces himself to focus on the only slightly less painful appearance of his uncle. Maglor, who was lost, never seen again.

But then again, he himself was supposed to be dead.

"I...I don't know." The smith admits lowly. His fingers tremble slightly, but he doesn't release his grip. "You...We thought you were lost." He adds softly.

Maglor, for all his own distress, catches that flinch and curses himself - Celebrimbor, he must remember to use the right name, he hates being called by his nickname, he'd said so (loudly. and repeatedly) when he'd left.

"Celebrimbor" he corrects himself apologetically. "Lost? I..." Has it been so long then, since they left the camp of the Valar? It might have been, Maglor supposes - he really hasn't been in any fit state of mind to tell.

"I... no. I live. But... Maedhros..." he cannot bring himself to speak of Maedhros yet. "But why are you here? If this is the Everlasting Darkness - you, you escaped that." Pleading, please tell me at least one of us got out.

[lastoftheline]

Slowly, Celebrimbor shakes his head, continuing to stare at Maglor. "It is not the Everlasting Dark. Nor is it the Halls." He slowly loosens his grip on Maglor's arm. "It is another place, unknown to any of our people. And there are many others here, some faces familiar, some not." He shakes his head, but his gaze devours the elf before him. His family had always been a difficult subject for Celebrimbor but in this strange land, seeing the uncle who had been kind to him, momentarily pushed those difficulties to the side.

"I escaped, Maglor." He added softly. From your Oath perhaps, only to fall into a curse of my own making.

[bythewaves]

Not the Darkness and all the tension seeps out of Maglor's shoulders in relief. So he has not failed his family, then.

"I am glad one of us was able to escape." Because he is, and that was why, despite the screaming hissy fits arguments and the hurt, he had not protested Celebrimbor leaving them overly. Let at least one of us go free.

"I will not say I am not glad to see you again, but I wish it was in better circumstances, perhaps." Next question: why is Celebrimbor in this court and not the other?
