Let it Snow: Red Start

The doors slam shut, the train moves. Through the snow this time but the shuddering is almost worse that entering the void. "Red team to doors." The visibility out of the window is low but they are moving further up the mountain.

The doors open, allowing red team to jump. The snow here is thick, there is little protection from the howling winds and biting cold.

Their SCA shows a route, following it will, presumably lead them to the gang that caused these problems. Here on the low slopes of the mountain there are some homesteads. Much fewer than in the town itself but cottages and small farm houses. All seem abandoned.

For now there is not much to do but to walk, forge a path through the snow. Fight the snow and ice monsters that attack and do their best to survive as they follow the map towards their goal.

(Disembark and Fight)

He had been torn between following his team or straying to protect his cousin. In the end he trusts that Fingon will be strong - just as all of them have to be - and he can't abandon those who lack his strength - or Elvish strength in general. Upon disembarking, Maedhros places himself as a shield of sorts, approaching the monsters without even a flicker of fear in his eyes.

"Stay behind me!" he orders, his deep voice rumbling across the ice. His vivid hair whips behind him like fire and each time he slams his sword or his fist or his feet into the monstrosities, the sound echoes eerily. When the ice shatters, he feels the burn of small cuts against his exposed skin. But so what? He carries on, trudging a path through the snow.

"Which direction does the map point?" Maedhros asks the question when they find a rare moment of peace and he glances around for a piece of paper. His eyesight is not the best however, at least in one eye, it far exceeds that of a human.

"Let others sort that." Nerdanel says firmly, reaching up to tend to his cuts.

"And here I thought you were going with Finno..."

He has no defense against his mother's orders. Maedhros meets her halfway, knowing his height makes things difficult.

"I spoke with Curvo. I was belittling Finno's strength and that isn't right."

"Hm, maybe." She tends to his cuts and scrapes with gentle hands.

"But I doubt he would have refused your company, all the same."
castintoflames: (✧ I still remain the same)

"No, he would have fussed, but he has never pushed me away." he narrows his good eye and searches her for wounds, "Are you alright?"

"I am well." She smiles at him fondly. "You and your brother and father are doing an excellent job of protecting me."

It's cute, although it's not as if she isn't capable of looking after herself.
castintoflames: (✧ darling believe me)

"We would never let one of those beasts touch you." he states proudly, kissing the top of her fiery head, "It makes us feel important." his lips twitch in amusement.

She laughs.

"Very important, I'm sure. And you are, my dears, you are."

"This is the price you must pay for having so many headstrong sons." he pulls up his hood and flexes the fingers of his sword hand to keep his fingers limber.

"My brave sons!" She smiles and reaches up to kiss his cheek.

"Brave and very good to their mama."
castintoflames: (✧ there was something)

He flushes and wraps an arm around her, tucking her partially under his cloak too.

"We were blessed with you and that blessing continues. I did not think I would see you again, Ammë."
marriedanidiot: (grief)

Her smile falters.

"I know." She says softly. "When all this is over, I would you come home, my Maitimo."

"Swiftly. Gladly." he kisses her forehead, "If it is within my abilities, you will see me."
marriedanidiot: (my boys)

She cups his cheek.

"I believe you, my dear."

Maedhros leans into her hand and forgets the cold for a few moments.

"I will come with my brothers in tow. We will be released from the Halls as one."

She would wrap him up in blankets, if she thought it would help.

"My, you will overwhelm me!"

In a good way!
