Loss Start - He Did Not Approve This Surgery

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

[Morning]

[Oh Paradisa. It is such a lovely morning isn't it? Birds chirping outside, gentle, crisp, autumn sunshine. It's one of those days you just want to laze about in bed, stretch a bit and maybe curl up to that special someone, and - ]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Hear a very feminine scream of panic. 

Now, normally, Ashura does not panic, but this... well, this is well worth the panic.]

[Afternoon]

[Having calmed down some and somehow being assured this was neither permanent nor probably long lasting, Ashura is out and about, walking around the Castle in his brand new body. He is trying not to feel to uncomfortable in perhaps the most modest outfit he could find in his equally changed wardrobe, and is intent on going outside to the gardens in hopes that nature will help him find a better sense of calm. Of course, this requires walking through the Castle and this, in and of itself, is an extreme source of discomfort. Please, by all that is holy, do not let anything happen that will just make this worse.]

Oh, my...

I think I have spoken with him. He responded to my scream this morning.

_{[She blushes.]}

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

[She just laughs]

He would have, I am sure. Lord Elrond is a skilled healer and a generous man. No doubt, he thought to offer his services were you in need of them.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, your daughter married a good man by the sounds of it.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

She did. He has proven to be a dear friend and most valuable ally.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Then she chose well.

_{[She reaches out and touches her hand, knowing what Galdriel had said about her daughter leaving and how hard that had been for her.]}

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

[She just smiles softly.] We have spoken of many things. Some which, I am sure you understand, had best remain between us, for to broach the topic with others would serve little purpose but to cause pain. [Talking about Celebrían, of course. She misses her daughter; Elrond misses his wife.]

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[She nods, understanding more than she knows with the pain of missing Yasha. In that way, she can empathize with Elrond, but will not broach it save unless Elrond does of his own accord.]}

Have you enjoyed having him here, at least?

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

I would not wish him here, to be bound to the whims of this place, yet while he is, I am glad to have him at my side. It is a comfort to see him and I am well pleased to have once again the use of his mind and council.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[He nods, understanding how that must be, for he would feel the same if Kumara came here.]}

I am certain we could use one of his Talents in the more turbulent times.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

I quite agree, and in times of peace as well.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

If you can call these small spaces such things.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

What passes for it, then. It is all relative, I suppose.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[She chuckles, sipping her tea.]}

All to true.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

And what of you? Have you any news, aside from your recent misfortunes?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Spending time with Felix, if I am honest.

_{[Ever since that fiasco in the work room, well... he might have become a tad more protective of the other.]}

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

And why should you not be honest? It is only natural; were my Lord Celeborn here, I would spend a great deal of time in his company.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Admittedly this new form is making things... awkward.

_{[That was the politesse way of putting it.]}

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

That is also understandable and yet another reason to hope this shall pass swiftly.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Prayers and hopes seem to mean little to the Castle.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

Yet there is no harm in them.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

No, I suppose not.
