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.

I'm sorry, Mr. Maglor. Should you need anything... please let me know.

[His mother says nothing at this time, but... well, he knows that look. That was the look she had the last time she saw him in Valinor.]

Amil can I ... I need you, Amil. [ Can I come, are you busy ]

[bythewaves]

There is nothing that can be done, Alice. [ So, so very tired ]

Be well, little butterfly.

[survivra]

And Po.

[ she's visibly upset and the addition probably doesn't help anything, but they were friends. maglor ought to know. ]

My apologies, I ... am sorry I... never had the chance to maybe one day call you brother.

[digophelia]

I disagree. Even a little company and a cup of tea goes a long way. You don't deserve to suffer anymore.

[ His brothers and father have left; that's pretty distressing. ]

Thank you. Will you... I need some time... I cannot... face anyone right now.

[gordianknots]

Take your time. Text if you need anything.

[bythewaves]

[ He draws a long hissing breath and his voice is choked with tears ]

I... I am sorry Katsa. I... will you be well?

[bythewaves]

I... cannot face anyone right now, Alice.

[digophelia]

I am here if you change your mind, Mr. Maglor. [ She feels like she's been inadvertently drawn to him and his family, in some sense, in more than just having Celegorm's horse and the elven blade. After all, he reminds her so much of her own father. ]

[bird_brain]

Maglor... [A pause; there's a soft rustling of feathers before Aubri speaks again.] What do you need?

[bythewaves]

I will. Thank you. I am sorry. Hopefully... others will be able to take my place until I am fit again.

[bythewaves]

Aubri... I... [ A soft hitching noise as he fights to control himself ]

Time. I think. I ... I will... go and speak to ... to Amil. She... must hurt so badly right now.

[chromosomes]

It's okay. It's...

[ Well, no. It's not okay. But it's what is.

John sighs. ]

I'll deal. We'll deal.

[bythewaves]

It might... be better if you did not, Alice. It seems... that ill fortune still follows in my wake.

[digophelia]

You're not the first to tell me that. Take the time that you need, for now.

[She's been so caught up in assisting with the elves that she'd lost touch with her family - a curse of being so spread out. Her breath catches in her throat as she attempts to respond, the sting of tears hot on her cheeks.

They're gone.

It hits hard and it hurts. She'd already gone through this the first time her mother sailed and while the thought had occurred to her that one day they might be parted... She didn't think it would be so soon.

And that's when she feels herself start to crumble into small pieces, strength gone as the locket falls to the ground.]

Action.

[wallhanging]

[ Han really only catches a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, but the voice reminds him of the fact that Leia is long since gone. He wakes Sketto from where she has curled up for a nap after a nice little high on glitterstim and sends her to Maglor with strict instructions for lots of cuddling. ]

No need to ask, Makalaurë. There is always a place for you at my side.

Are you...

Do you need anything?

[ So hollow and empty ]

Thank you for the kindness but... we are still on opposite sides of the fence, eh? If ever... if ever we meet on the field. Do me a kindness and make it swift. I will thank you for it.
