[Private to Fingolfin]

I spoke to Maedhros about the ball and the seating arrangements. I have them all worked out, but I would like for you to go over them.

How are you feeling?

I am glad to hear it. You are regaining your former vigor?

You and I of course will sit at the head. Then Aikanáro to your left, since he is the guest of honor, and Maedhros to my right since he is highest ranking. Going down my side, Andreth beside Maitimo then Tuor, Idril, and Turukáno. On your side, Elenwë beside Aikanáro, then Elrond, Elladan, and Findekáno.

	Has my son fallen so far out of my favor? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Nay, of course not, my lord. But I thought he could...give honor to the other side of the table as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 03:19 am UTC (link)
	That is what Turgon does. Move him beside Aikanáro, and then follow Elrond, Elenwë and Elladan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 03:26 am UTC (link)
	Or...we could put him at the table with the Edain, so that they feel as if they are honored as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 03:27 am UTC (link)
	It would be the height of dishonor to have my son removed from my table. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Then I think perhaps it would be best to leave him where I put him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 03:36 am UTC (link)
	Move him beside Aikanáro. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Nay, I do not think that wise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 03:59 am UTC (link)
	Anairë, do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 04:00 am UTC (link)
	Nay, my lord, I will not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 04:02 am UTC (link)
	Very well, I will invite him to sit beside me no matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 04:05 am UTC (link)
	Nay, you will not! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 04:15 am UTC (link)
	You force my hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 04:41 am UTC (link)
	If I must! I will not budge on this, Ñolofinwë. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 04:56 am UTC (link)
	I am aware, my lady. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 04:59 am UTC (link)
	So Findekáno will sit at the end of the table? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 05:00 am UTC (link)
	He will sit beside me, where he belongs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 05:10 am UTC (link)
	And you may sleep in the guest bedroom! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 05:14 am UTC (link)
	Even were I well enough to you would not do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 05:15 am UTC (link)
	Why must you encourage them!? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 05:19 am UTC (link)
	I do not encourage them; I ignore it in the hopes it will simply become a non-issue. Ah, Valar. It is a non-issue already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 05:29 am UTC (link)
	How in blessed Aman is it not an issue?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 05:35 am UTC (link)
	Because you may make seating arrangements, or designate chambers to both of them and they will still find a means to see each other. Forbid it, if you will, and your son will do as he desires. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 05:37 am UTC (link)
	You think I am ridiculous for being bothered by this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 05:39 am UTC (link)
	Aye, I do. They are first cousins, naught will come of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 05:43 am UTC (link)
	You do not dislike him like I do. And Findekáno is such a sweet child. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 05:47 am UTC (link)
	I will hear no more of it, Anairë. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 05:49 am UTC (link)
	You are an impossible, stubborn man. I am going for a walk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 05:52 am UTC (link)
	Very well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 05:57 am UTC (link)
	[About an hour later] I am back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 05:58 am UTC (link)
	Come to our chambers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 05:59 am UTC (link)
	I am weary of arguing, my lord. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Fortunately I have no intention of arguing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 06:02 am UTC (link)
	What, then, have you in mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 06:03 am UTC (link)
	If you do not wish to come, then you need not attend me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 06:04 am UTC (link)
	You know I will come if you ask for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 06:06 am UTC (link)
	I do ask for you. I might well command you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 06:07 am UTC (link)
	You could. But I wish you would not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolofinwe 2013-05-23 06:08 am UTC (link)
	Then attend me if you will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 06:11 am UTC (link)
	Yes, my lord. (Reply to this) (Parent)
