There was a slightly violet deity by the fireplace, wearing a warm and brightly purple sweater, drinking a hot beverage almost totally but not quite entirely unlike chocolate from a violet mug, and reading a supernatural detective novel the cover of which was black and lurid purple.

Shortly before Christmas, Asar-Suti remembered last year and went for creature comforts.

[[OOC: Plot-locked to Námo and/or Nerdanel, and Gil. Say sorry!]]

"Asar-Suti," Námo greets. "Would you mind if I spoke with you for a moment?"

Asar-Suti put down his mug and his book.

"You are my friend; unless there is a true emergency, I will always have time for you," he declared.

Námo smiles and sits in a nearby chair.

"I wished to speak to you of Nerdanel. And a child," he begins hesitantly.

"Oh, yes?" Asar-Suti said. "What about it?"

He was a bit torn on this issue - both of them were firends he liked very much. So was Maglor. He could see both their points in this.

"There will be one. In two days, on the winter solstice, Nerdanel and I will conceive the child."

He says this with an even voice and steady eyes.

"She came to me a few nights ago and offered to do this with me. I was shocked, and after speaking with Gorlim and Lee, I have chosen to accept her terms."

"So it worked," Asar-Suti said, very quietly. "Good for you. And Nerdanel shall have my support and help when she needs it, as she is my friend as well."

He tilts his head.

"What worked, Asar-Suti?"

"Giving her what she wanted and hoping for her voluntary gratitude," Asar-Suti said, and shrugged.

Noting Námo's honest astonishment, he added, "Sorry, my friend, I can't help being a devious Ihlini god..."

He blinks.

"I never expected her to offer, Asar-Suti..."

Devious? Asar-Suti? Never!

The Ihlini invented devious for their world, and Asar-Suti was their god who invented their magic, their immortality, their lifestones - you might say he invented to Ihlini. So.

That said, he didn't have much reason to do devious in the bar, any more.

"I did," he said, with a little apologetic grin.

He smiles.

"She wishes to return to Aman on Thursday. Allow the pregnancy to take hold in our lands. Then she will return."

Asar-Suti made a disappointed face. "That way, she is going to miss that big religious festival on the weekend, Christmas, you know? But I can see why she would want to."

"From what I understand, she will return to us on Saturday evening." He thinks for a moment. "I wonder if she desires to take her son with her. Maglor has not set foot in Aman in seven Ages, after all."

"'lo Soots," Gil wanders up with a jug. "You ready for any more quasi-chocolate? To be honest I can't see it catching on myself but we have to find something to do with the pinecones after we've extracted the nuts."

Asar-Suti was used to having his leg pulled by a certain faun for over a year now, and so just smiled up at Gil and said, "Oh, so that's what you make it from?"

He pulled a piece of paper (http://www.livejournal.com/community/ways_back_room/1750592.html) from the back of his book, and waved it at Gil. "Did you get one as well, or did she rely that whichever of us gets it first will tell the other?"

"No." Gil's head weaves as he tries to read the piece of paper as Asar suti aves it about. After a moment he growls and grabs his wrist, holding it still so he can look.

"Oh that looks fun. I'll wear a vest though, it might be cold."

"Yes, I don't think we'll be expected to wear suits and ties, or come in faun-shape with no clothes at all," Asar-Suti said.

He handed the piece of paper to Gil. "It doesn't sound too formal, does it?"

"Lakeside and command tent - er - no. Sounds like we might be expected to wear camo though."

He grinned at Sooty. "I can imagine that," he said. "You in purple camo (http://somethinggreek.com/images/Purple-Camo600.jpg)!"

Asar-Suti giggled at the thought.

"I think that might be unexpected fun," Asar-Suti said. "Also, we could make ourselves warm jackets from that pattern, with sheepskin collars and the works, so perhaps it would be a fun option?"

He shrugged, and added. "Alternatively, just warm comfortable clothes, huh? Or I could always wear Ihlini robes and a cloak of fake black mountaincat fur, and you the customary wizard clothes from your world?"

"Or lace and leather," Gil suggests, with a lift of the eyebrow.

"I'm sure you'd look very lovely in that," Asar-Suti said, with a smile.

In fact, he found Gil very lovely in any clothes or shape. But the appeal of a stiped apron tied around a faun midriff, with a little tail sticking out behind, would be lost on most people...

Gil chuckled. "You'd look better, and anyhow I like you Ihlini gear. It's like complicated gift wrap with too much sellotape - I really work up and interest while I'm getting down to the skin. Plus," he nods, "it looks good."

Asar-Suti giggled, and held out his hand for Gil. "Sit with me a bit?" he offered. "Well, then it'll be the Ihlini robes and furs, the black and purple silks and velvets, to give you something to unwrap later. By the way, how are the lebkuchens?"

"The ones that are left are just fine," Gil said, fitting his behind into the chair beside Sooty's. He put the jug down, drew his wand and summoned the orange tin with sooty's name on it. He had refilled it this morning and, to be honset, quite fancied a lebkuchen himself.

"I am sure they miss their companions and wish to join them," Asar-Suti grinned, opening the orange tin.

"They smell delicious - want one as well?"
