[ 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.

[ Many of these things she does not understand, but she can recognize that he is exiled, has lost any titles he once had, his family is gone, and he can no longer go back to them. ]

Forgive me for asking you to share these truths. I did not realize the depth to which you'd lost so much. You have my condolences just the same, whether you are Accursed or not, for no one should be without those they love.

You are kind, lady, and I thank you. Do not grieve overly for me - many of my losses came from our family's folly, and most would say them well deserved. I pray you never know this pain.
