Celegorm opens a door and finds himself looking, not into a guest room, but into a bar.
It is not plausible that someone turned this room into a bar, both because it's not a very Noldorin bar and because the room is too big; he built this fortress, he would know.
And, Huan says, it's very powerful magic and it smells of somewhere very far away.
Noted.
He walks in. Worrying about the Doom would be overthinking it. He hopes.

He'll like you. It's a specific politician type - not having any principles beyond 'coming out of this looking like I did nothing wrong'.
hastyriser
They do deserve it, but we still do not take Moryo to parties. Curufin you've met and I think you know everything important about him except that he constantly has minor injuries inflicted at the workbench and before my father died I do not think he ever accidentally injured himself. And he doesn't smile anymore. There's no one left who he'll believe when reassured that he's brilliant, our father was the only person whose opinion he ever took seriously on that.

So I can solve most of his problems by resurrecting your father, which I was going to do anyway. Convenient.
hastyriser
And most of Pityo's problems you can solve by reembodying Telvo. The two of them complement each other very well and together you can just kind of set them a project and expect it'll happen in some ridiculous and surprising way. Alone they - don't do much. He's a great help on any task you set him to but he hasn't taken the initiative on any.

Yeah if someone's twin is gone by default getting them back seems like the best possible way to help them.
powerispain
Yeah, that got predictably depressing. Let's think about something else. Like kissing. Hm. If all elf hair is sensitive, will she get any particular reaction from kissing his eyebrows or would that just be silly?
hastyriser
Silly, but not, like, in an objectionable way. Kissing experiments that are a little absurd are still quite all right.
powerispain
Well, it's not really the same kind of hair, so that makes sense. She'll just have to tug on his regular hair some more.
hastyriser
Well if she finds getting reactions from him to be that satisfying they can do it all day.
powerispain
She finds lots of things about the kind of thing that results from playing with his hair satisfying but getting reactions is definitely up there.
hastyriser
It'll probably be a few more days of guiltless experimentation before they are inclined to seriously get to work on magic.
powerispain
Mm, experimentation.
But. Eventually!
"I wonder if Bar minds if I remodel the backyard."
powerispain
Even though she's wearing one of the Genoshan-cut dresses that leave her highly-nibbled shoulders and collarbone bare?
hastyriser
Okay, he can heroically hold out for like a few seconds but if she's going to continue standing there in that then he'll definitely grab her sooner or later.
powerispain
Wellll for definitions of "standing there" that involve turning around and smiling at him while her still-unbraided hair falls over one shoulder but that probably doesn't help with the heroism thing.
