Nerdanel walks beside her cousin, the smell of hay and horse invading her chilled nose.
"This has been wonderful, cousin," she says, her breath icing in the air. "Relaxing and delightful. Your charges are such gentlemen, and they make me laugh. I can see you in them."
Her eyes move to the white horse, smiling when she sees him.
"He is beautiful, Glorfindel. Gorgeous. How long have you had him?"

"I will stay with you, if Mandos allows it, and do all I can to make this easier." He promises. Though he will dearly miss Arda, and the stars, and the green earth, he cannot just abandon his cousin.
Not again, anyway.

The stars there don't sing. I will be fine, as will Feaho, if it I am not -- I will have Mandos fetch you, cousin. I promise."
Nerdanel hugs him a little tighter with her promise.

"Whatever displeasure he would have felt would surely have melted in the face of his newborn son." He assures her, sounding much more sure than he feels. No matter if it is true or not, they are at the house, and a cautious and careful check of the door shows that it does indeed lead once more into the tavern.
"Are you ready, cousin?"

She wonders briefly if they could just... keep this from everyone.

Date: 2006-03-12 05:58 am (UTC)"Why tell them then? The edain will require lengthy and possibly repeated explanations, as I have heard this sort of thing is normal among their kind, and they will need to be convinced to worry. Then, once they start to worry, there is very little there to get them to stop. It seems more trouble than it is worth, cousin."

Because she is.

Date: 2006-03-12 06:11 am (UTC)"When I was sent to his halls, he was very different then - cold, and somewhat distant, in truth, but he never did harm to those in his care, never showed anger at our bewilderment, pain, or demands for explanation. To be confronted with what he is now... a broken jaw is the least of the injury done."
