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.

[Who's asking.]

We have known one another since arriving here.

[muscovy]

And he likes your company?

[Ask and he will answer, ...don't as and it may still come up, but it also might not come up.]

private; video

[notavirtue]

He has never turned me away.

[And if you knew Javik, that was saying something.]

private; video

[muscovy]

Then you should meet up with him now.

[And, almost as an afterthought:] And don't kill him, even if he asks for it, yes? Because I will find a way for you to die if you do.

private; video

[notavirtue]

I will die someday regardless. Do not presume to tell me what to do, or threaten me.

private; video

[muscovy]

[...sidetracked. Or perhaps not, it's a logical question after all.]

So you are not immortal?

[Javik looks so weird, he thought he would be.]

private; video

[notavirtue]

Of course not.

[Most people just... assumed mortal as default.]

[muscovy]

Longer or shorter than a human?

[...It is of note that he considers the average human lifespan (of those that make it past 3) to be somewhere between 30 and 40 years.]

private; video

[notavirtue]

Much longer. I do not see how this is relevant to Maglor.

private; video

[muscovy]

If you live longer you can be his friend for longer, silly.

[Very simple math, really. Right?]

private; video

[notavirtue]

[...right.]

Friendship has no impact on my lifespan.

private; video

[muscovy]

But it affects the lifespan of my lord father very much, yes? Every time someone dies or leaves, he gets less here.

private; video

[notavirtue]

[An unfortunate truth, but that sort of thing was out of his hands. If he had control over that, he'd've died a long time ago.]

...lord father?

private; video

[muscovy]

Maglor.

[He didn't realize that that could be confusing; after all, whom else would he be speaking about here?]

private; video

[notavirtue]

[No, he got that they were still talking about Maglor, but the elf had never mentioned having a son.]

Why do you call him that?

private; video

[muscovy]

It is the best descriptor, yes?

private; video

[notavirtue]

If you are his son, then yes.

private; video

[muscovy]

If he was a nation, I would be his dependency, but he is an Elf, so "son" works best.

private; video

[notavirtue]

[Nation? He was completely lost.]

Very little of what you say makes sense.

[So, he fit right in with the elves.]

private; video

[muscovy]

It is complicated. That is why he is my father. People understand father and son.
