*makes the quick trip from his father's uncle's cousin's? father's to his mother's place*
*knocks, sorry he doesn't have more to show for himself than a hastily-assembled duffle bag of spare clothes* |

*is rather clearly evicted from Delving, having just enough time to half-explain to his store supervisor and even less to Haleth (though she can see the writing on the wall as well as he can)*
*heads out toward his mother's place to figure out what next*
*has one particular stop to make first though* |

[Jan. 10th, 2009|11:15 am] |
*thinks the new year is off to not a bad start, given he spent part of it with his father's family? compared to the last year*
*feels a little odd to be back in Delving and to normal again, to be honest*
*has two numbers so far in his new phone*
*tries it out again and gives his mother a call* |

[Jan. 1st, 2009|07:25 pm] |
*ventures into town on the morning of New Year's Eve, armed only with his niece and the vague idea of buying some new clothes* (*yes, is Celegorm's brother but still buys off-the-rack*)
*goes into a clothes shop and selects jeans and t-shirts and pays for them without trying them on* *with that done, takes Lily to a café for a mid-morning snack*
*is not entirely oblivious to the openly admiring looks he is receiving from most of the women in the vicinity, and is more than a little amused* |

*having met with his father and explored the Engineering Department of O.U., has found himself in a very unusual situation* *has more or less been informed that, if he passes some sort of -- proficiency? exam?, he could be admitted on a fast-track course with the express intention of training him to be qualified as a tutor/lecturer in two years (because of his background, high skill levels and, he can only assume, his contacts in the region)*
*thus, finds himself rather at a loss: has been given an honest-to-Eru opportunity to stop being an amused spectator in this lifetime* *opts to invest in a couple of engineering books (light reading, more than anything) in order to look into this in a bit more depth*
*finds a table outside a café at the edge of the student quarter and keeps his sunglasses and woolly hat on, so no one recognises him* |

[Sep. 7th, 2008|08:34 pm] |
*ventures around Lindon with Haleth a little more after Gil-Galad takes off for college again*
*stops in at a general store a ways east of there, gets lunch and some photos developed when he sees they have a 1-hour printing* (*particularly amused at a self-portrait that shows only the top of their heads with a pretty wide view of mountains behind them*)
*has a sudden wonder if his mother knows where he is* *...which is really sort of a new thing actually* *gets a calling card* *phones Finduilas from a payphone outside the store* |
|
|
| |
[Aug. 25th, 2008|06:05 pm] |
*gets the requisite time off and sets out with Haleth for the drive to Lindon*
(*makes a note to remember to call his mom when they get there*)
*follows directions on a hand-drawn map from Gil-galad's explanations*
*is pretty sure he's pulled down the right drive when the car stops* (*wow, he really wasn't kidding about the ski resorts, eh?*) |
|
|
| |
[Jul. 31st, 2008|07:04 pm] |
*calls Anairë to see about Gil-galad's number*
*after a lot of apologies no really it was nothing don't worry about it glad he could help last winter no really and a promise to say hi, suceeds*
*dials him up while on his break at the shop* |

[Jul. 27th, 2008|08:49 am] |
*survives the unexpected experience of dinner with his relatives*
*feels a little weird having borrowed his father's sport coat*
*looks around the house a little before... whatever happens next?, a blank mixture of resistance and curiosity* |

*settles in with the twins in their hotel rooms before making their way over to Celegorm's house for their nice, cozy family dinner*
*and ohhh will there be Mandos to pay if any of the family are absent/unmannerly/homicidal* |

*gets an assignment to make a delivery way outside the city, up near Ossirinand*
*hasn't been on a road trip for a while and definitely doesn't want to revisit the last one, so and decides it'd be much better this time with company* :)
*finally stops off to get the work part out of the way*
*finishes up at the auto shop with time to spare before he meets back with Haleth to find a hotel* |

*has had several whole weeks go by without catastrophe* *unless you count Haldar acting as twitchy as he usually does?*
*decides since Delving might not actually have it in for him at the moment, to see if his mom mother would like to have lunch*
*invites Haleth along for moral support* |

[Apr. 3rd, 2008|05:35 pm] |
*has set up shop in Finrod's office ("shop" meaning an appropriated desk, a squeaky chair that leans back almost too far, and his laptop computer)*
*is plowing cheerfully through the mounds and mounds of red tape, slowly but surely banishing the paperwork to the easily-accessible realm of cyberspace* *is a veritable god of spreadsheets and the like, after all*
*at some point, rummages around in his bag and retrieves an X-Men special collector's edition BeastTM action figure, complete with lab coat, lab goggles and a mini-laptop of its own* *carefully stands the figure up (next to his feet, which are propped up on the desk as usual)*
*nods* *goes back to work* |

*feels pretty good and settled in Delving, for a change* *not being afraid of afraid of his mother any more helps a little*
*checks in at the auto body shop to see about his old job*
*shakes a few hands on the deal and goes to meet up with Haleth again* *stops at the pub down the way for some takeout first* :]
*bumps into Haldar at the bar* |

*doesn't quite know why she's been invited to a baby shower(??) for one of her daughters' friends(?), but decides it's only polite to be sociable when the situation calls for it*
*collects her girls and their gifts (and the nurse she hired to keep an eye on Niënor during the day trip away from the MHC) and heads outside the city*
*arrives at the appointed place and ogles the grounds and the sign out front in confusion*
I do not understand. Paint...ball? |

*has spent a solid two days or so (i.e. eternity) nervous as anything, wondering whether Nellas got the belated Vendórë's Day card he sent her (with his grandfather's assistance)*
(*had half a mind to give out some others—as peace offerings, one might say—but chickened out in the end*)
*plays games on his grandfather's computer while he mopes in the palace, afraid Nellas won't know where he lives and thus will be stymied in her own attempts to profess her love*
*comforts himself with the memory of painstakingly including his very own closely monitored e-mail address (celeborn@royalsquare.gov.dh) in the card so she'll at least see how tech-savvy he is* *thanks, Vána* |

*slept pretty badly* *isn't sure he slept at all* *curses the thin walls of the apartment*
*shuffles into the kitchen-cum-living room in the search of coffee and hopefully unmouldy bread to toast for breakfast*
*tries to be quiet so that he doesn't wake Beleg*
*swears loudly as he stubs his toe on the leg of a chair* *&%$£!!* |

*invites Haleth out to dinner to properly catch up with her* :]
*wonders if he should start with the story of how his great-aunt came on to him, or the one where he asked for directions and got the idea she was knocked up?* *but the one where he had pancakes with his mom was pretty okay*
*snags a booth at a pub near the station* *works the label off a beer bottle while he waits* |

[Jan. 24th, 2008|08:47 pm] |
*takes a much-needed break from downtown patrol and heads back to the station*
*swipes two slightly squashed slices of bread from the communal loaf in the lunchroom and piles some vending-machine chips between them* *stretches her legs at her desk and gets to work on some preliminary plans while she eats*
*finds that no matter how she jots down her thoughts—notes on guests, food, games—the results end up looking sort of like a diagram from some coach's playbook* Huh. That can't be right. |

*has an abbreviated trip to the mountains before he decides he... actually doesn't want to be on the road anymore?*
*and actually has familiar faces that he wants to see again* *hey, would you look at that*
*takes a drive down through Doriath on the way back to Delving*
*gets a little turned around and has to stop and look at his maps* |
