She waits squirmily to be tied to it.

She is tied to it! And then he comes and kisses her. That was lovely.

Thank you! Kiss kiss kiss.

You are a delight.

I like being a delight it is so fun.

Macalaurë enjoys his delight. So much. Oh so much.

Oh good his delight enjoys him back.

She's happy.

That's good. Do you think she'll stay that way?

...I do. I don't think she will think to want anything different and I think he adores her and would cater to her if she did.

Nod.

If I let you hold a concert would you be happy?

- not particularly.

Come here.

He does.

"Keeps people clear about things." Pat pat.

"...I don't feel clear on things."

"The King wants people to know that Findekáno is his prisoner, without actually having him as a prisoner most of the time which would be very inconvenient. Because we had a civil war over this and if people thought that there were prospects of making Findekáno king then there might be violence over it."

"Oh."

"I assume he also likes it but it's at least as much about the politics."

"I'd rather have mine long but I guess tastes vary!"

"I mean, I think Maitimo likes it, I rather doubt his boyfriend does, it looks like it'd be horribly painful."

"...some people are into that." Things being horribly painful for them. Some people are also into things being horribly painful for other people, like his lordship or Kat's dad.

"Huh. Well, I haven't asked him if he's into that." Snuggle.
