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.

It isn't a bother. [ Firmly spoken, yet soft at the same time. She knows. Her chest aches in reminder of what it's like to lose someone and the desperation that can fill one's mind with their bare shards within their hand.

A memento is easier to carry as well as easier to stow away when the mourning is too much. ]

Do you have a preference as to what? I can send for a familiar to pick them up if meeting in person isn't possible.

[ A long sigh of a breath, and then his voice firms ]

Does your magic allow the creation of ways of communication? My brother might have been able to do this, or my father, but I confess I never spent much time learning the Songs of jewels. But... I would that these remnants were more than just a reminder. And I trust little to the lockets.

I may pick up a trick or two within this world. There's little that I can't do. [ Meaning yes, she can and will, she just can't admit to it so easily over the locket.

For good reason, as he suspects. ] It's good to want them to be more. I'll help you with that.

Then perhaps I should visit you, eh? I... do not think I can face anyone today but... where will you be, Lady Rin? I can come to you.

I understand if you can't... but know that my own somber mood has kicked in so you wouldn't be alone in how you feel.

[ Granted her own is the result of someone arriving here instead of departing, but minor details of that nature don't need to be said. ]

There's a tavern I frequent in Mair. The barkeep is a gentle soul who keeps himself busy with work while I'm there. Hard workers are difficult to come by these days.

[ Meaning it's nice and private as well. ]

The tavern in Mair? I know it. [ a soft huff of air ]

Give... give me a day to try and regain my self, and I will be there after moonrise.

We'll speak then. [ Snapping the locket shut.

She doesn't trust it at all and will be sure to explain that to him later. ]

Until then. [ A bow and he closes the connection on his side as well ]
