"Are you certain this is a good idea?" Maglor asked Maedhros, who held Amrod and Amras in each hand.

"Tell our brother what you heard," Maedhros said in a stern voice, shaking one of them slightly. "Now."

"Grandfather told our father and our uncles that 'you are going to stop this foolish rivalry between yourselves. I don't care how, just do it.'" The twins recited this in unison, which gave their voices an interesting sound that Maglor wished he knew how to duplicate...

"Maglor, attend!" Maedhros snapped, causing Maglor to jump slightly, all musical thoughts lost for a brief moment while Celegorm, Caranthir and Curufin watched their elder brothers with interest.

"I suppose that means we will have to invite Fingon and Turgon over," Maglor said. "But we have no feud between us." One of the 'triplets' snickered at that but neither Maglor nor Maedhros could determine which one, and so let it slide.

"Very well," Maedhros finally said. "We will invite them over."

"So what do we do?" asked Fingon.

"We are going to play a drinking game," said Maedhros. "I am told it is a good way for people to eliminate their differences and bond more closely."

"Oh really." said Turgon but Fingon's sharp elbow in his ribs changed his tone so that no-one could become annoyed.

"And this game is...?" Fingon was curious now.

"It is called 'Truth or Dare'," Maglor replied and promptly explained the rules. "Are we ready?"

Everyone was seated in a loose circle around the small campfire now, and Maedhros opened the first wine bottle and took a drink.
