*is feeling pretty drained after her conversation with her brother* *takes a nice, long nap despite the way everyone seems nervous about the idea of letting her close her eyes again*
*wakes later that evening and decides she's sick of lying in this bed* *carefully disconnects the various tubes and doohickeys attached to her and swings her legs to the floor*
*wobbles unsteadily over to the window, arms outstretched to her sides, thinking this must have been what it was like learning to walk as a baby (not that there's any chance of remembering that)* |

*sighs and gets ready and goes to the venue (one of the courtyards in the Royal Compound) which is completely bedecked with white flowers*
*takes his seat on the bride's side and avowedly does not look at the empty seats on either side of him*

*arrives a little early to the very exclusive Hithlum restaurant where she has arranged the snob's hen party tea for the bride and all of the bride's close female relatives (and Arien)*
*inspects her reflection in the front door glass and is satisfied she's dressed strictly according to code*
*ensures that everything is absolutely perfect—not a fork out of place, napkin crumpled, or wilted flower petal to be seen*
*really, really hopes her sister likes it, although she knows deep down she's bound to find fault with everything something* |

*Emerges from his office after a long day's research to discover that the entire student body is in an uproar about some kind of violent assault.*
*Mutters* Yes, that's right. You don't give a crap about the great vowel shift but as soon as some drunken freshman pokes someone in the eye with a penknife is like soooo exciting, like oh my god.
*Shudders*
*Eventually hears about who exactly was involved on the grapevine.*
*Immediately calls Nerdanel.* |

*lounges in his hospital bed, wearing his own clothes, eating fresh strawberries, and letting Anairë win at Piquet*
*swallows a sip of champagne* Mm. No, truly, they're springing me as soon as my physician returns from lunch or the driving range or whatever is so much more important than my health. About time, too.
*checks the score* Oh, you can't be Crossing the Teiglin already. *with mock indignation* This is entirely insupportable. |

*heads to the mall with her mother after leaving poor Gil-galad to entertain his grandfather*
*can't remember the last time they had a real outing together, just the two of them*
*half-hopes, half-fears that Anairë will ask her any really personal questions* *has a few of her own she's curious about, that's for sure*
*eyes an adorable little cocktail dress with a lustful eye* Now I'm only buying one new thing, Mom. Promise you'll keep me on the wagon. Okay, bad choice of words. |

*immediately and rather incoherently texts just about everyone she's ever met in her entire life before rushing back to her dorm room to tell Fániel* |
