WHO: Anyone who wants to come!
WHAT: Cyril plans a surprise party for Sam and Kirk
WHEN: This Saturday
WHERE: Sam and Kirk's home
NOTES: This is the party Cyril started planning here. I'm going to include two header comments for prep before the party, and for Kirk and Sam to come home so everyone can enjoy the 'Surprise!' moment, otherwise, please treat this like a normal mingle post, put in your characters enjoying the party and tag around!

Cyril was pleased with how many had wanted to help with this party. Christine had offered to distract both Kirk and Sam. Adasse had put together some tasty potatoes. Korrin had arrived to help arrange furniture to use the space better for a crowd and had brought spiced wine and sweets. Anders had helped with decorations.

They had done well, even with the food shortage, and the house smelled inviting thanks the the work of everyone coming together.

Elros shrugs.

"Well, I don't know if that will apply to me, any longer." He says thoughtfully. "Since I chose otherwise. But yes, I have been told it is... something very special. Risky, in war, but useful too. Bonded pairs are deadly on the battlefield, but kill one and the other might well follow. Maglor and Maedhros used to always try and keep them in separate units, if they could. Cousin Gil-Galad does too."

He smiles wryly at Cyril. "I don't think you're any less. Just different, that's all. But the height, it's not always that great you know! Especially on a ship."

All the knocking into sails OW

As Elros describes the bonded pairs, Cyril can imagine the benefits and downfalls easily enough. He is curious about the names that Elros mentions, but he doesn't ask just yet.

Instead, he focuses on the mental image of being that tall on a ship.

"I can only imagine. For my part, I have to worry about people stepping on me."

"I learnt to duck very quickly." Elros agrees, wryly.

"Hah! You aren't that short. Fairly average, I would have thought!"

Cyril chuckles a bit. "Perhaps I just spend my time around people who are much taller than I."

Elros laughs. "You should take them all out sailing and laugh as the sail swats them."

Cyril finds that he really likes the sound of Elros's laughter.

"Oh no, I've done enough sailing. I'd almost be happy to never have to do it again."

"Ah a landlubber." Elros sighs in mock disappointment.

"You're missing out on the opportunity to laugh!"

He chuckles. "I'm almost certain I can find ways to laugh here."

"But none involving people walking into low beams?"

"Why would I do that, when I could walk into beautiful elves instead?"

Elros laughs.

"Sorry to disappoint, but although I know I look a lot like my elven kin, but you've run into a tall human, here."
