And love grew between them, as little might be thought

Elros Tar-Minyatur ruled the Númenóreans for four hundred years and ten. For to the Númenóreans long life had been granted, and they remained unwearied for thrice the span of mortal Men in Middle-earth; but to Eärendil's son the longest life of any Man was given 

Have an idea for things you want to do with Elros? Hit me!

He sighs and rests his cheek against Elros' head.

"...We did what we did and it is in the past. I am here now." And he's resigned to staying put.

So resigned.

Utter torture.

[tar_minyatur]

The worst torture.

"Here you are." Elros agrees. "And you aren't leaving."

Mwahahaha.

[seawanderer]

Absolute worst, and that says a lot!

"For as long as you and yours are safe, I will stay."

[tar_minyatur]

Too bad, so sad.

"Then you're clearly never leaving."

He says cheerfully. "Excellent. This room is yours - it has direct access to the shore without needing to go through the palace, my family has the rooms directly down the hall, and we're far away from the main halls that no one will bother you unduly."

[seawanderer]

Part of him shivers at the statement, but the rest just warms and he sighs. Again.

"You are far too kind to me, Elros."

[tar_minyatur]

"I am as kind to you as I want to be."

Elros smiles.

"As you yourself was to me."

[seawanderer]

He brushes a fond hand over his fosterling's hair. "You made it impossible to be any other way. Still do, for otherwise I would not still be here!"

[tar_minyatur]

"I won't complain that the Valar made me charming then if it works." He says smugly.

[seawanderer]

Maglor snorts and shoves at him playfully.

"So charming," he teases, though only half meaning it mockingly.

[tar_minyatur]

"Absolutely."

He grins at him.

"It's a useful skill, don't you think?"

[seawanderer]

Shameless imp!

"In the wrong hands it would be terrifying." Has been. He's seen the results.

[tar_minyatur]

Utterly!

"Oh probably, but it's in mine~"

[seawanderer]

"Precisely," he retorts innocently.

[tar_minyatur]

"So you should clearly have no complaints~"

[seawanderer]

"Should and reality do not always match or mesh together, yonya."

[tar_minyatur]

"But they do in this case, surely~"

[seawanderer]

Elros is ridiculous and Maglor can't help but laugh.

"They do."

[tar_minyatur]

He is, aren't you proud?

"Then you can't argue, clearly!" Elros grins at him smugly. "Elrond will agree with me when he gets here, just you wait. In the meantime, you'd better get yourself healed up, or I'll get yelled at for not looking after you."

[seawanderer]

So very proud.

He hums softly, seeming to consider it. "Can't I? My brothers would disagree." So many arguments and disagreements, much of which were just for the sake of arguing!

He heaves a long-suffering sigh. "Then help me up, I should like to take a walk around, if that is permitted as you say." And he's still tired, though he won't say as much.

[tar_minyatur]

"I'm not your brothers though~"

He grins at the sigh.

"Sure. I'll show you around. We can even go down to the shore, if you want."

[seawanderer]

"Thankfully!" he quips, fond. He loves his brothers, but Elros is far better a ruler than they ever were.

Maglor accepts his doom, as it were, and stands- only to drape an arm over Elros' shoulders for support and to keep him close.

"...If I get swept away, I lay the blame on you." He teases, though is a little wary anyway. Ulmo hadn't drowned him bringing him to the island, so why would he strike now?

[tar_minyatur]

Elros sniffs, cheerfully, leading him out the side door.

"If you get swept out I'll come after you." He retorts.

"Unless it's by pretty ocean lady maia. Wouldn't want to make my wife jealous!"

[seawanderer]

He chuckles, going willingly enough.

"Do not place yourself in danger on my account! One should never make one's beloved jealous."

Maglor has good advice sometimes!

[tar_minyatur]

"The very worst kind of danger."

Elros agrees solemly.

"I'll just have to appeal to Lady Uinen to deal with them instead."

[seawanderer]

Laughter lights his gaze and he hums in agreement. He pauses when they get outside, just looking around, listening. Fascinated to see for himself this world his fosterling has built.

"You have been hard at work, yonya."
