you fought but you were just too weak

[lordof]

CHARACTERS: an angry elf (makalaure) and an evil sidekick (lordof) and the evil sidekick's other sidekick (also known as glaurung)
LOCATION: another distinct hallway. quite possibly near the gardens.
WARNINGS: YELLING probably mentions of nonchalant killings in the past and other terrible things (look up 'sauron' and 'feanor's kids'. or don't.)
SUMMARY: yelling cat fight.
NOTES: see what happens when your colleague kills a guy's dad and you kill the guy's nephew? bad shit happens that's what.

It's strange to have a dragon again after so long. Not that he's ever had a dragon, not of his own. Draugluin was one thing, but he was a wolf. Wolves grow quick. Dragons do not.

Maybe it is the habit of all young things to run around like.. like children do. Orc children and Elf children, Man children. Dragon child.

He's a bit exasperated, chasing after the little lizard as it wanders through the halls just like it used to (ages and ages ago), but it's nostalgic enough that he doesn't mind. Much.

"None may master a dragon," Mairon says warily but easily. He calls to the creature, a mixture of Quenyan and Valarin with no clear name spoken, and orders it to halt and return to him. Which it does, after a moment's pause and trilling growl. Mairon has no weapons of his own and so takes neither and offensive or defensive stance.

"But it chooses to follow me, for one reason or another, and I have chosen not to abandon it."

[makalaure]

He recognizes the languages with which Mairon speaks. Even if the Elves do not make a habit of learning Valarin, few grow up in the hither lands without at least knowing what it sounds like. Well, that confirms that this one here is one of the Ainur, at least.

"What do you intend to do with it? And what names do you go by?"

[lordof]

"I mean to care for it." Spoken as if it is obvious, yet still as amiable as possible. Kindhearted, even. "I will teach it not to harm others."

So he says, anyway. In truth, he'll only teach Glaurung to be clever and smart, for his own survival. It just happens to include not harming people. Yet. But he knows the line of Feanor (both foolish and stubborn. foolishly stubborn.) and as much as he was their enemy, it would be best not to make an enemy of them here.

"By the Elves of Aman I was named Mairon. That is the name I would give to others."
