WHO: Fëanor and OPEN!
WHAT: Wandering the train, brooding, having anger issues, and exploring
WHERE: The train, finally ending in the library car.
WHEN: Wednesday evening.
WARNINGS: Possible talk of violence
STATUS: Open, ongoing



Fëanor had turned off the strange device in disgust after receiving nothing but gibberish over it. These people...whatever...whoever they were knew nothing of importance, and very little of interest to him, especially when his mind was burdened by a far greater purpose. He had no need for friendship, he had no need for civility. What he did have need for was to return to his home, his sons, and his place, to avenge his father's death and retrieve the Silmarils from the dark hands of the Morgoth.

And this place was keeping him from that task, and for that had already earned his hatred and scorn.

Leaving his room, he threw back the door with such force that it clattered noisily against the wall, but he cared not. It was but a small indulgence of the fire inside of him, a fire that his mother had named before she had even seen the full extent of it.

His mother.

His heart ached as it always did at the thought of her, and how deeply she had been wronged by the ascension of his father's concubine. He would never accept Indis as the rightful Queen, or her sons as anything but bastards. She had bewitched his father, stolen his love away from where it belonged. As a husband and a father now - setting aside his estrangement with Nerdanel for the moment - he could not understand what could force a husband to turn away from his wife. He had been angry with Nerdanel - she had betrayed him by not accompanying him, by begging him to send their sons home. But beneath it all, he loved her. He always had, always would, and there would never be another. And that was as the Valar had decreed it, until Indis had ensnared his father with her darkness.

His hand tightened around the hilt of his sword in anger as his pace quickened, searching for anything on this 'train' that might give him a clue as to where he was, how he had arrived here, and how quickly he could return.

Finally, he found himself in a library, and his lips curled into a slight smile. If anything could answer the questions he had about this prison, it was books. He strode to the shelf, taking one and opening it, his eyes blurring as he flipped page, after page, after page, finding nothing but a strange, awkward script of which he could make no sense. What evil was this? Even if they did not use his own Tengwar script, he was perfectly capable of reading Rumil's letters, and many others. This...however, was nothing that he had ever seen before.

He flung the book to the floor, likely breaking the spine, before grabbing another, and flipping through it in the same way, his fury growing as it joined its sister on the floor.

What place was this??!

"Yes, and my experiences have, perhaps, been more cruel than some."

The Death of his mother, the first of the Eldar in Valinor to die. The remarriage of his father, making him the first - and only - of the Eldar to have a stepmother and a broken family. The problems he had suffered with his ambitious younger half-brother. Morgoth's lies...the theft of the Silmarils and the murder of Finwë...

And the fact that Nerdanel had refused to accompany him, which had hurt just as deeply as any of the others, although his pride refused to allow him to acknowledge that.

"Yes," he said in a voice that was perhaps a little too rough with emotion. "And they have made me stronger."

Jan wasn't sure if she expected an elaboration or not, but when none came, she reasoned it was none of her business anyway. And now he was stuck on a train ... so that couldn't be easy, either. She had trouble acclimating to it, and she imagined she wasn't the first, or only one, to have trouble adapting to a life on the train.

Unsure exactly what to say to him and unsure they statements even merited a response, Jan simply nodded. "They tend to," she tried. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, they say."

Shifting her weight slightly, she glanced to the book shelves again before he gaze strayed to him. "So," she said in an attempt to get things back on track. "When you've had a chance to settle in ... send me a message or track me down, and ... we can start language lessons."

His eyes burned as he stared out the window, lost in his world, in his trials, in the griefs that had befallen him. They were many, and he resented the fact that the Valar had been the cause of all of them.

Her words called him back to the present and he acknowledged her words with a slight nod of his head.

"Yes. I will do that. It has been an honor to meet you, my lady, and I look forward to our later meetings."

Jan nodded, and reasoned it was better to leave him to his thoughts, anyway. "Same," she replied. Regarding him briefly, she studied him before she turned away. Hopefully the rest of the books would be safe, and she thought their next meeting was going to be ... interesting.

Turning away, she headed toward the door. Shaking her head slightly, she continued on the way she'd been headed before she'd gotten distracted. She hoped he settled in all right, and she reasoned she'd hear sooner or later.
