[The image in the locket shows a disheveled and disturbed looking Deedlit. There is a quiet murmur of people in the background and the surroundings seem to be that of the infirmary.]

I feel as though I've been trampled by horses...How long as I asleep?

[Deedlit looks away from the locket for a moment as one of the fairies buzz by her ear, whispering something as they pass by. The look of shock that follows on her face is unmistakable and she jolts up to her feet only to feel her legs giving out, forcing her back to a sit.]

A month?! I've been asleep for an entire month?!

[She glances back to the locket then, a frown taking hold of her lips.]

...What in the world did I miss?

Oh Celegorm can be quite charming, when he wishes to be. He learnt the intricacies of court life well. Not for nothing was he called Celegorm the Fair. [ softer ] But he had another name too, one I hoped we had left behind when we were brought here, and him from so early in his life. Celegorm the Cruel, some called him, by the time that he died.

And there is no mending this, alas. No, youngling. I would that you were safely far away from here, but failing that, stay clear of my brother, Deedlit, for I do not know what he will do to those who are not of our kin.

[Deedlit nods, listening. She certainly believes Maglor when he talks about his brother. After all, he had no reason to lie about something like that nor did she really think he was that type of person.]

If people called him that, then he must have earned it. I'll do my best to stay clear of him, as you say. Thank you for being concerned about me.

[She pauses for a moment before speaking again.]

But I would like to meet you in person someday.

Reason enough. [ Maglor sighs softly ]

You are too kind Deedlit. Perhaps we may - but I cannot but think it safer for you that we do not.
