Voice, Open

[bythewaves]

[ Grief, as deep as the sea, as endless as the sky. Pain, like sheeting ice, in the voice that speaks... and for those with ears to hear, a tiny, quiet envy and relief. ]

For those who knew them, the list of those freed from this world now includes the Lady Galadriel and her husband, the Lord Celeborn, their daughter, the Lady Celebrian, the Lady Idril, and Maedhros my brother. Also, the Lady Sif, who counted us as family in lieu of those left in her own world.

Their things are with me, but they left no letters behind.

[Freed... The sound of Maglor's voice seems to seep into his very bones; he is reminded of the song the elf sang when Thorin vanished from the Drabwurld.

Most of those names are known to Fíli, and Celebrían in particular had become a good friend, but his thoughts drift back to Maedhros my brother and linger there.]

Master Maglor? [A pause.] If there is anything that we can do for you, you know where to find us.

Fili... [ Soft and quiet ] Thank you. Yes... I ... do not think I can... face anyone yet but... where are you and your kin? I... will come and find you later.

[He nods in understanding, though he is lucky (he still has his brother).]

Whenever you wish for the company, then. We've settled in the Maechenibryth, the lands of the Elvenking Thranduil.

[ Despite everything, that news brings a small quirk of amusement to his lips ]

Aaaah then... we may have a ... slight problem. The Elvenking, you see... is rather unfond of me in his halls.

[ Which, Maglor knows, is perfectly sane and reasonable, but it doesn't mean he won't poke at it every chance he gets, considering Thranduil likes to promote himself as reasonable and open to everyone who is neutral. HAH. ]

[Surprised, he has to wonder why, when he has only seen someone mild-mannered and helpful in Maglor. Now isn't the time to pry, though.]

He was rather unfond of us in his halls, too, once. But that problem is easily solved -- there are other places where we could meet with you.

Mm. True. Where would suit? I can always bring you and your brother with me, at need, so long as you do not mind travelling by moonlight.

[By moonlight? At night, he assumes. It strikes him as a little odd, but he smiles.]

We've done it before, though I'm afraid that we must leave the choosing of our meeting place to you. We've yet to see much of this world.

[ Despite himself Maglor smiles ]

Ah, then I suppose I should ask where you wish to visit most, for there is not a tavern in the Drabwurld that I cannot now reach.
