Have a care for that. [ He warns ] That one speaks with a forked tongue. She may seem kindly but I do not trust her. [ I blame her for Celegorm's execution ]
And I would not, without good reason. [ He did not ask Celebrian, after all. And Maglor is too old and seasoned a campaigner to ignore the potential use he is, a Shardbearer who can go anywhere... who can get into the Seelie castle with only the smallest of steps ] And I would not be too sure of that second, Vanyel. [ He could, he knows, come into the room and slay Vanyel - a shard is worth much in this world. He would not - probably - but he could and Maglor will not lie about that ]
It 'does' nothing. [ He smiles a little ] But even a small amount is sustaining, and it is easy on the stomach. [ It was what saved Maedhros, after all ] There may be a blessing on it, I suppose - but the making of it is strictly limited to those ellith who studied under the Lady Yavanna and those whom they in turn taught, so I do not know.
[ Gently ] If that makes it easier for you Vanyel, of course I will. Hold tight.
[ And then he tugs them both through the nearest shadow, to his mother's rooms in Caer Scima. Nerdanel is not in, or rather, she is busy at work - Maglor can hear her, the tap tap tap of her chisel, and knows that she will not hear him if he calls to her right now. He puts a finger to his lips to warn Vanyel, and scribbles her a note, before refilling the water jug and making sure that she has a plate of lembas ready when she takes a break. ]
No need to disturb her - she would not hear us right now anyway. Come on, let us hie to the Station.
