No, stay. Stay and explain to me how it'd be totally excessive to remove someone from power on the trivial basis that they are a rapist -

He rolls his eyes. It's more effective for the fact Maitimo can tell his emotional state is also 'eye-rolling'. Don't do this to Kib, okay? He'll - stop - and then I'll actually be angry with you. This is fine. Presuming that it somehow helps.

Then he'll be on the bed, he can target precisely enough to leave the clothes, and he'll still be turning the necklace over and over in his hands - I thought about going over there and killing him -

Thank you for not doing that.

You don't have any idea - any idea -

No, I don't. Apparently the one of me who does would be obediently kneeling by now? Is that-

They are somewhere else. In the mountains somewhere. No, not mountains, now they're on the Helcaraxe. Featured in the new one's story. Findekáno is cold and they both feel it and Findekáno is frightened and -

- somewhere else, somewhere in Valinor, familiar from centuries ago -

He left the necklaces behind when he teleported. His is indeliable.

Findekáno looks around and looks up at him and is thinking about what to do to appease him and calm him down and he screams -

Findekáno tries to get up to come over to him, no, he can't make him stay but he can continually tug him back in place - 

- and he screams until he's hoarse and then he curls up on the ground, sobbing, none of this is real you can't make me I don't believe it -

And when he's done he picks him up and carries him to bed and holds him but not very tightly.

So. Yeah.

...I might not stop over that.

I'm not going to do that to you.

I'm not saying you should. But I'm not on that much of a hair trigger.

'might not stop' isn't very reassuring -

...yeah, I know. It's complicated.

That I got. Anyway if you two want to get the indelible version for reasons of 'abusive boyfriend' I won't mind -

If I wind up getting the indelible version are you going to read that into it, now?

I will trust you if you tell me that's not the reason.

Okay. Sigh. I love you, I'm sorry I upset you.

Not your fault at all. His fault.

I assume if I had been fully in favor of going and killing him you could have avoided that specific freakout even if you would still be generally distressed about his existence, I was the last person to say something before you left.

Yeah. But you meant it, I don't want you to not say things you believe just because I can't keep it together -

And I don't want to be the thing that provokes you into falling apart.

Not you. Him.

Sigh.

Anyway, lovely wedding dancing. He will dance with his husband.
