*arrives back in Gondolin with his husband on the afternoon following the Virtuoso Awards with the express intention to let the senior staff of the Flower and the Fountain know about their lords' new marital status before their respective agents issue the press release*
*in order to maintain some privacy, he and Ecthelion travel separately to the Palace* *while Ecthelion goes to face the music speak with Turgon, goes to find their dog and to break the news to Idril* *only manages to extricate himself with promises that he and his husband will have lunch with Idril and Tuor the following day*
*en route, texts Aerandir to ask that he and Sophie meet him at the conference room at the House of the Fountain in half an hour* *arrives back (home) at the Fountain and goes to the conference room himself, genuinely entertained by how excited Marigold is to be back here again* *tips a salute to Pete as he walks past the front desk* |

*is always surprised to find the gym deserted on a Friday night, but then, other people probably have social lives and shit (hi, still swingin' single here, ladies)*
*is just glad she can contribute to a certain lackey's lack of an in-town social life, anyway!*
*helpfully, as she brings another towel over* Think that'll bruise up pretty, soldier? |

*has settled into a fairly comfortable routine of working (on a normal schedule) and then going home to the Flower alone (i.e. without bringing work with him)* *is not blind to the way everyone at the Fountain relaxes and perks up when he is himself in good form*
*(did notice Erestor leaving early the other day, and failing to return, but just assumed he missed something—it's not like he hovers over his Second's desk to see what minutiae he's working on at all times)*
*on Halloween morning, wakes early and leaves a note on his pillow for Glorfindel* Had to run an errand. Back soon. xx E
*finishes getting dressed and leaves to run said errand, taking no time at all (it's just a formality at this point)*
*turns back toward home, though this leg of the walk takes considerably longer because his companion is mostly dictating the pace and she is quite distractible* |

*after a few days of the protest, is becoming more and more miffed by it all (if nothing else, the traffic around the Fountain gets backed up badly every day and that's hardly ecologically very sound)*
*decides to walk to work on Monday and just about reaches her limit (but manages not to throw any punches) when she is jeered and jostled as she walks through the Fountain front gate* *is grateful for the increased security but is absolutely fuming by the time she reaches her office and wonders if it would be really bad for Fountain PR if she put some of her military training into play?* |

*it's a bright and sunny Saturday afternoon, and the place to be is the House of the Fountain's annual barbecue!*
*per her roommates' specific instructions (girlfriend, you are not working today, today we party), has dolled up a bit for the occasion* *figures if nothing else, she and Danielle and Georgia will make damned good armcandy for their unsuspecting date*
*as such, finds herself carefully stepping across the House's beautiful green lawns in strappy four-inchers, one arm curled around Erestor's and a fruity drink balanced in the other hand* *pleasantly, to their little party at large* I don't know about the rest of you, but there's a coney dog with my name on it. Bets on whether I can keep the sauce off my skirt this time? |

*thinks it's sort of poetic, a bright and sunny morning after* *or actually, a bright and sunny mid-morning after* *woke up at a reasonable hour, as usual, but then Jackie gave him a look and did that thing with his tongue and they were both so conveniently naked and yeah, this could get to be a habit*
*is now puttering around the kitchen, fulfilling his other duty as boyfriend and chatting away* ...anyway, this is the biscuit recipe the grandmas swear by, so if you no like, you might want to keep it to yourself when you meet them? *chipperly, adding a little more buttermilk to the mixing bowl* But you'll like it, no worries. Might not beat your aunt's, but I can guarantee you'll like it.
ETA: *following brunch (which turned out very well if he does say so himself), a somewhat... delayed interlude to get around for the day, and a careful stint on the doughnut, finds himself leaving the auto shop with Jackie*
*tucks his hands into his pockets and just enjoys the fresh after-rain air as they walk along* *conversationally* You know, there's a lot more green than I'd've expected in a big city. Sorta like old downtown Brighton? *squints* But a lot shinier. |

*having decided that everyone who has been working their arses off helping out at the Flower deserves a thank you, concocts a plan with her flatmate to have a small gathering at their flat*
*dispenses invitations by text to pretty much everyone in her phonebook (as Becky does the same) and comes to the conclusion that this will be less a small gathering and more an actual party*
*ensures that the fridge is well-stocked with booze and that she is dolled up to the nines on the evening of the party* *looks around the flat and looks at Becky* Well. We're long overdue a house-warming anyway. It may coincide with our eviction but at least it'll be a great party. |

*following his third phone conversation with one Dr. Xavier Guadalupe Delgado (a brisk but helpful professor of Ecthelion's acquaintance), has finally decided on a long-distance master's program run through a high-ranked university in Hithlum* *owes his boss big time; probably wouldn't have considered that school if not for the good professor's advice (and offer of a recommendation)*
*signs off with a bright grin and turns to head back inside the Flower when his phone vibrates again, this time with a text message* *fully expects it to be Mac, demanding to know where he's gone and whether he's bringing back food, but is pleasantly surprised when Doc's name pops up instead* |

*finds himself on the hunt for an entirely different breed of monster (and he must force himself to focus on this task alone when every fiber of his being practically screams Glorfindel and go)*
*splits up with Elemmakil at the bottom of the Fountain steps, snagging a House car in place of his own (go, Ecthelion, please go)* *and what comes next is a blur of taxis and phonecalls and green-yellow-red lights streaking overhead, and Vairë isn't anywhere in sight—*
*—until, quite suddenly and without fanfare, she is*
*is out of his car (half-pulled onto the sidewalk in his haste to park) and at the driver's window, rapping sharply and flashing his ID, before he opens the door and directs what may be interpreted as a polite smile (but only if you don't know him or him-and-Glorfindel) at the woman inside* Lady Vairë. Your presence is required. Immediately. |

*Is having a rather slow day on the Flower front deak.*
*Thinks that on the minus side, the job can get a little dull what with the phone answering, mechanical smiling and light filing...plus she still hasn't met the boss.*
*But on the plus side her skills in solitaire, tetris and tea-making have come on leaps and bounds.* |

*exactly one week after her Surprise! first day on the job, is starting to feel fairly well settled in at the Fountain* *is even making progress with training her boss on the new system!*
*is shuffling the last bits of paperwork into their proper file folders, preparing to close up shop for the day, when she hears a light rap on the doorjamb* *glances back over her shoulder and smiles* Skating in at the last minute, are we? Shame. |

*makes his way down through the Fountain corridors, whistling completely off-key (but quietly, okay? is compassionate like that), on his way out after a short day in the office* *thinks he'll swing by the former site of the Flower with coffee for Tanya-Pete, since he hasn't been out there in a while (and she never says no to caffeine)*
*passes the reception desk and is promptly stopped ("mail for you, sir")* *takes the plain package curiously* Thanks, Pete. Who's it from? *checks the return address* *blinks and gives Pete a confused look* This was in today's drop? ... No, I wasn't expecting anything.
*pulls the envelope open and extracts the contents* *...* *trades a look with Pete (wtf?)* Yeah. Okay. I'll just—yeah. See you tomorrow? Right. *heads for the doors, already pulling out his phone* |
