goldenglorfindel‌:
Wandering in Lorien, Glorfindel, or mostly back to being entirely called Laurefindil again now, was at something of a loss as to what he was supposed to do with himself. He’d done his best to try to mentally prepare himself for this, but he’d known that it was never going to be that easy. He’d found himself waking each morning at the same time as always and not being able to go back to sleep, regardless of not being needed for training or anything else. He knew that it wouldn’t last, that there was a place for him and things to do, but for now as he adjusted into a life without war, space for his thoughts and not a lot more was plenty on its own.
Not wishing to lay awake in bed and disturb Ehtelë’s rest each and every morning, he’d taken to leaving and seeking the quiet of the gardens, just s he’d done in the time he was here last. When there were few friends or family here and he was still very much healing. It wasn’t the same now, for now he was truly happy once more and you’d be hard pushed to find him without a bright smile, but he still found some quiet meditation was a tonic much needed.
Sometimes he was here completely alone save for the constant gardeners and sometimes there were others who also sought out the quiet solitude of the lands. Today the figure sat quietly as he rounded a corner however, gave him pause, jolting him from his internal thoughts and bringing his feet to a halt. He blinked, tilted his head and wondered if the spirit was really the one he recognised within them.
He rather hoped not.
Not every power can be muted, there are some things innate to Mairon that are unable to be taken from him. He can still sense the presence of another, of one that is not of the Ainur. A few seconds later he can hear footsteps. And then, they stop.
He lifts his head and turns, gaze locking on the golden-haired Elf. 
Tumblr media
He doesn’t speak; he has no real reason to, after all. Nor does he expect the Elda to approach him or speak to him. No one else has. 
And yet he can’t help but keep a hint of a challenge out of his golden eyes. As if daring him to say something, to do something, to speak to him. 
He doesn’t know if he wants to be spoken to-- but he knows that the Elda likely wishes to speak to him even less. So that in itself is reason enough, and Mairon is willing to endure some slight discomfort, a little awkwardness, if it means that people will stop tiptoeing around him. 
Once, long ago, he had reclaimed the name Abhorred. That was when he was strong. Now, he doesn’t much like being treated as such. 
His stare holds, drifting across the Elf’s features, meeting his eyes only for fractions of a second before moving to another part of his face. But the catlike gaze never leaves him for a moment, barely even to blink.

“Why be afraid of the dark when you can simply become it.”

tyelp-with-a-spear‌:
“Olorin, we’re going for a stroll! You with us?”
Tyelpë picks up the warm shawl he brought for Mairon and wraps it around the Maia’s frame, hugging him in the while. “It’s windy here. I don’t want any see breeze to make my Annie sick.”
Outside, it was indeed windy, and the skies were darkening with clouds. “Going to rain at night. Do you like rain, Annie? I love it. I like night rain, when I can open the window and sleep in comfort and freshness. Tonight, I will also be holding you, which adds to the comfort.”
Mairon shakes his head slightly, though he does accept the shawl. The more he’s covered up, the better, after all. He draws it around his shoulders and murmurs, “You know, I’m not going to fall ill from cold air. I may be weakened, but I am still Ainu.”
It takes the briefest of moments for everything to truly sink in— namely, that Tyelpë had said sea breeze.
A sudden chill races through him, and he goes very still.
He hadn’t considered what this might possibly entail. Golden eyes flit toward the door. He completely misses the rest of what Tyelpë says.
Olórin comes to join them, and instantly his brow furrows in concern, before Mairon even speaks. 
The glow from his eyes shifts to a bright yellow hue, and his gaze goes distant. “This place... is by the sea, isn’t it?”

mitzy-has-trash-art‌:
Even though he’d never point it out loud, Iorwen had to admit that seeing Mairon waking up with such messy hair was quite ridiculous and much less threatening than what was usual. If he hadn’t held respect for him in the past he wouldn’t take him seriously at the moment.
“It was quite a shame for us too to not be blessed with your company sooner, my Lord” he replied sarcastically, giving him a small, teasing bow. It felt quite odd when he called him his servant, almost as if he didn’t find it to be the name he wanted, but all those sorts of things seemed odd to him now that everything had changed, so he didn’t think much of it.
“Technically you can still go back to sleep, I don’t see anyone stopping you” he raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms. He was sassy, and didn’t take grumpy wakers all that well
He has to admit, he’s missed being called “Lord.” It’s still somewhat difficult to think of himself as a prisoner, when he’s spent so long as a ruler. Now, the fact that the term is used sarcastically deepens his frown. He’d have liked it if it were genuine. But that is far too much to hope.
He fiddles with his hair, combing it into some state of order, and makes a slight face. “I could, but I’ve already been woken. It isn’t that simple to go back to sleep.” He’s a bit more rested now, and he can only really sleep if he falls into unconsciousness. Falling asleep is an entirely different matter.
“No matter,” he notes. “I’ll no doubt be out again in a matter of hours.” His lip curls in mild distaste at his own weakness. He’s been so vastly diminished from what he once was... he again cups his right hand in his left. He still feels the loss. If he thinks about it, he can still feel the tearing wound in his eäla as though it’s new. So he tries not to think of it.
Even if half the time he simply wants to curl in on himself and scream until he can scream no more.

“It’s certainly a lonely life, but a fulfilling one at best.”
“I’m aware that I’m frozen inside. I have known all along.”
“There is no fear you’ll ever give into. You’re untouchable.”
“Whenever you call for me, know that I’m only one step behind.”
“Some may call it a curse, life like mine… but, others, a blessing.”
“Someone has to take a stand against evil. Why should it not be me?”
“It’s the rule that you live by and die for. It’s the one thing you cannot deny.”
“For we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell.”

tyelp-with-a-spear‌:
“Of course not, precious,” Mairon receives his usual cheek kiss. “You look rested. I am happy. So, this is the master bedroom,” he waves his arm at the room containing a wide bed, a closet, and dressing mirror with a small table. “This door is bathroom,” Tyelpë opened the door to show the moderately sized bathroom that could be accessed through the bedroom. Then, he wrapped an arm around Mairon’s waist to lead him to the rest. “That’s guest bedroom, Olorin will be staying there… Not sure if he actually needs sleep though. He has a bathroom in there too. This is the living room. Feel free to nap on the couch, love. Dining room… Kitchen over there, but you don’t have to be there, I’ll take care of it. Are you hungry? Do you want to see the city as well?”
The Maia follows, close, brushing shoulders with Tyelpë as they go. He peers into each room, and snorts softly at the mention of Olórin sleeping. “If I recall correctly, he doesn’t need as much as I do, but he enjoys it even more.” 
He tests the couch, pressing down on the cushions with a hand. Comfortable enough. He nods, and tilts his head in the direction of the front door. “I’m not hungry at the moment, but if I might have a tour of the city...” He’d like to know a bit more about the place he’s staying in.
