Day 29, audio, open

[He knows he promised to leave her alone. He'd been trying his hardest to do that too. However, he hadn't seen her in two days. He had a bad feeling in his stomach, so.. he was breaking his promise, which sucked. The worry was obvious in his tone along with the guilt of knowing he was crossing lines.

But, he was a dad. He might not be her dad, but it was a dad thing. He had to.]

Buttercup, if you're hiding from me, fine. Just.. let someone know to tell me you're okay?

Has anyone seen her? I don't need to know anything other than that. Just, as long as she's safe and someone has seen her.

Comments

[runs_on_batteries]

No, but getting innocents killed because of hubris isn't that much farther down the 'damnable sins' list, if you know what I mean.

[He finally pours out two fresh cups of coffee.]

Thank you. I'll be curious to see if she ends up the same place Gwen was found.

[Tony earns a weak smile. Not everyone would just take his words in stride and try to make him feel better.

Maglor accepts the coffee with a small nod of thanks.]

Your comments earlier gave the impression maybe I should ask her instead of bringing her to you? I do not require an answer if you do not wish to discuss it, I only wish to help.

[runs_on_batteries]

Ah.. yes.

[Not everyone had caused as much harm as Tony had. For what it was worth, he felt like Maglor and his father seemed like decent people. It was curious what this jewel might have been, but he was trying not to ask.

Except Maglor asks. Is was only fair now, wasn't it?]

I don't quite know why but she is upset with me for something I did. I'm not entirely sure what it even was. I know she's been keeping her distance so I've been giving her time to cool off.

[He sighs, wishing she'd just get over this and forgive him.]

What sort of jewel was it?
