Who: Aragorn, Haladreth, Iren
What: Aragorn tries to convince Haladreth to..basically..not be so uptight. And she calls him out on something!
Iren: *IS awake*
Iren: *got carted to healer after lockdown was lifted >.>*
Haladreth: *pacing in the citadel*
Haladreth: *pacepacepace*
Iren: *half-awake in healing houses, looking like death warmed over* *really, really wants to see Haladreth even though she was the one that pushed Haladreth away* *bored out of her mind*
Haladreth: *wants to see Iren, but knows Iren doesnt' want to see her**feels ashamed, weak*
Message: *on it's way to Aragorn!* *no one at the healing houses knows what the heck it is Iren took!*
Aragorn: *is occupied >.>
ARagorn: *with certain half-elf*
Aragorn: >.>
Message: *sits on his desk!*
Aragorn: *eventually disentangles self from beard eating Arwen and returns to his office*
Aragorn: *picks up message**sends page to find Haladreth!*
Arwen: *sadelf*
Haladreth: *reports!*
Aragorn: *writes something out* I want you to take that to the houses of healing. *offers*
Haladreth: *takes it**Nods her head* Yes, my lord.
Aragorn:*eyes her*
Haladreth: ...was there anything else?
Aragorn: Sit, kinswoman.
Haladreth: ....... *sits*
Iren: *starts trying to work on a letter, or something*
Aragorn: *sorts some papers as he speaks* You seem to be spending much time in the company of this woman.
Aragorn: I am not one to normally care about such matters, but given the nature of her profession, and the nature of yours, you may wish to decide what it is you want to do.
Haladreth: She is...a friend. And she gives a particularly good massage. There is nothing else between us, nor do I seek to dally in the other services she offers.
Aragorn: You wish there to be something between you.
Haladreth: .........
Aragorn: You craft your words carefully, so as to guide me away from the truth, without lying. *smirks*
Haladreth: .............................
Haladreth: *chooses her words carefully* I am far too old for such dalliances, and I cannot engage in such activities without being wed. And I cannot wed a woman.
Aragorn: There is no law that states you must be wed before engaging in such activities, though it is generally frowned upon.
Haladreth: Custom. Such things are sacred, between only husband and wife.
Iren: *isn't coherent enough to realise she has neither quill nor parchment, so is pretty much dreamily tracing patterns with her finger against her bedding*
Haladreth: and it is in part for children.
Aragorn: *lets out a sigh* It is also for happiness.
Iren: *stops idly 'writing' and closes her eyes* *hums to herself*
Aragorn: *rubs his thumbs together* Ignoring custom. Ignoring the fact that you are clearly uneasy with being attracted to a woman, would you be with her.
Haladreth: .....Yes.
Aragorn: As your chieftan and king, you are bound by my word. You've sworn an oath, to my family, and to myself. I want you to be happy, Haladreth Wildthorn. A wolf is never happy, alone.
Haladreth: *Jaw and throat works* I cannot throw off the custom of my family! My lord.
Aragorn: *caresses at his beard, while eyeing her intensely*
Haladreth: And you very well cannot legalize marriage between two women!
Aragorn: Nay, I cannot. *laughs*
Aragorn: But.
Haladreth: *eyes warily*
Aragorn: Among the elves, and among our ancestors on Numenor - those of yours who did not seperate themselves off into the forests there, that is - the act of marriage, is as simple as sharing a bed with another.
Haladreth: ....it cannot be a marriage without witnesses, and I would not like anyone to witness that.
Aragorn: *laughs* And if I give my blessing?
Haladreth: .....I barely know her >.>
Aragorn: *stern look*
Aragorn: *gets up, and comes around to the other side of the desk**puts a hand on Haladreth's shoulder, and leans forward, meeting her eyes* And what does it feel like, to be in her presence?
Haladreth: *looks up to meet his gaze, her voice a bit thick, unintentionall bringing up her desire for Iren* As though I am walking through a thick fog, that winds itself around me and tries to hold me fast.
Haladreth: My breathing becomes heavy, and rapid, my skin warm, and when I touch her it is a..shock.
Aragorn: ......... *exhaaale* It is much the same way, when Arwen is in the room with me. It is desire. Lust. Arousal. But what else do you feel, when you peel away and bare the emotions?
Haladreth: *still gazing into his eyes* I...don't know.
Aragorn: Let me tell you what I see, with Arwen. I see one who makes me whole, who is pure, and strong, noble and gentle. I see the woman I belong with. I see the pain I caused her, I see the joy I give her.
Haladreth: ...You told her.
Aragorn: *nods his head*
Haladreth: And she still loves you?
Aragorn: *nods his head again* Arwen is my equal, her mind sharp, her laughter like music..... If this woman is the same to you, then go, be with her.
Haladreth: *licks her lips*
Haladreth: My lord. You have the uncanny ability to evoke a charge with everyone.
Aragorn: *stands up straight and tosses his head back, laughing*
the uncanny ability*
Haladreth: *stands, runs a hand through her hair and exhales* I will deliver the instructions for her care, and I will consider your words. *turns to go*
Aragorn: Good luck.
Haladreth: >.> *departs!*
Iren: *still there, still semi-conscious*
Haladreth: *arrives!!*
Healers: *get to work?*
Haladreth: *stares at her, painful look on her face*
Iren: *is fed something particularly nasty to drink*
Iren: *fed... drink.. whatever. The point is, it tasted nasty, and they made her drink it, and her face is all scrunched up*
Haladreth: *snerk*
Iren: *coughs a bit afterward, and then sinks back to her pillows and grimaces* .... Deserve this..I suppose...
Haladreth: *sits on the bed next to her, and runs her fingers through Iren's hair* They said you will not be able to take that plant, again.
Iren: ... They didn't... tell ME that...
Iren: *leans into the hair-scritching, a bit, without even realising it*
Haladreth: They wanted me to.
Haladreth: *face caress*
Iren: *looks very worried about this*
Haladreth: They will keep you here, until it is out of your system. *whispers, while staring into her eyes*
Iren: ... It will kill me.... *looks up into her eyes, betraying fear*
Haladreth: They will take care of you. I promise.
Iren: *tries to sit up a bit, to snuggle in next to her*
Haladreth: *pulls her head into her lap >.>*(
Haladreth: I am sorry, that I left you.
Iren: *closes her eyes* I am sorry.... that I .... sent you away..
Iren: And that I was weak.... and did this to myself.... *mumbles*
Haladreth: *shakes her head**smiles* There is nothing to forgive.
Iren: I know that you don't ... approve at all, and then... I go putting 6 pinches of the stuff in my tea...
Iren: I think I was trying to spite you.. *sighs*
Haladreth: *works her throat*leans down, and kisses her*
Iren: *makes a surprised little noise, and breaks the kiss* *looks at her with absolute confusion*
Haladreth: *wolfy eyes, and that air? so very thick* I...spoke with my lord. He said that...he suggested that..
Haladreth: *sighs**still can't do it, 'cause eru only knows how they'd think of each other after, and that? would be sucky marriage*
Iren: That you kiss me? ... *arches a brow, weakly* Or that I .. not take more of that plant?
Haladreth: *roughly* Among others, such as those closer of kin to he, marriage is simply the act of love making.
Iren: *closes her eyes* if that's true..... I've quite a few husbands, AND some wives....
Hladreth: .....
Haladreth: *looks...distraught*
Iren: ... maybe.. you have to want to be married, when you do ... well... you said love making... not just sex... *ponder*
Haladreth: ...even then, what if we do not....are not matched?
Iren: ... people make the choice to marry, often.. without knowing... matched or not. *shakes her head*
Haladreth: And then they live, miserable.
Iren: But no one knows until it happens.
Haladreth: If you wed me, you cannot continue as you are.
Iren: I won't.. be able to dance anymore... *frowns*
Haladreth: ...you could dance.
Iren: But not at.. the Jun anymore.. ?
Haladreth: You could dance, and massage, and all the things that do not involve the bedchamber there >.>
Iren: *ponders this*
Haladreth: You do not need to fear for your livelihood. I've precious little to spend my pay on.
Iren: But I couldn't live there... *opens her eyes to look at Haladreth* It would .. disgrace you... going to such a place, nightly.
Haladreth: ....
Iren: *snuggles in against her more closely* If I ... survive this... I will go to the Lady, and ask her .. what she thinks.
Haladreth: *exhalesighs, and nods her head* I will not force you into anything.
Iren: *weakly raises a hand and touches it to Haladreth's face* Couldn't do anything... anyway, not like this.
Haladreth: You will live *sounds certain*
Iren: *curls in against her, closes her eyes, and yawns* I didn't want to.... but .. I think now I do...
Haladreth: .......*curls around her*
Iren: *drifts off*
Haladreth: *curled around, protective, like a mother wolf*
