Accidental Video, unlocked to both courts, sometime during the event

[ The video flicks on to a song, soft and sweet and sad. The voice is familiar, it has been heard, in similar circumstances, before - the singer is also probably easily recognizable, and it is fairly obvious that the singer once again does not know that he is being recorded (this is something of a trend) There is a fearie who chitters at the screen before zipping off again ]

Hush now dear ones,
Rest your eyes
None will bring you harm
Sleep my sweet ones
Fear no noise
For I will keep you warm


[ It is a lullaby - an old one, sweet and gentle, but sung oh, so sadly. He wrote this, long ago for the youngest of his brothers, to keep them calm and help them sleep. He rewrote it, years and years later, when there was only one twin left, and sung it as a dirge. He rewrote it one final time, for twin peredhil boys, who he had stolen all joy from. He sings all three versions now, in a soft round, looping back on themselves - quiet peace, grief, and apology, all twining together to make something that says, as clearly as if he spoke the words:

I miss those days, when we were happy, for there is only sorrow now

Maglor is outside the station and he keeps his voice low, so as not to disturb those inside who might not want to hear one of the Feanorionnath. He does not look well (he will not fade, he promised, but he is so very close), but a bit calmer, perhaps (killing imps is good stress relief). He also has an audience which he does not appear to notice - namely, the faerie who turned on the locket (perhaps it was one of the Ainsel, before) ]

Uncle. [It comes out just a little sharper than she means for it to.] We care about you. So it is not needless that we worry.

This is nothing.

[ It's freedom. It's overwhelming and daunting being thrusted in a new world, yet it is still freedom. To be locked away in a cell in Rutledge is worse than this. She suddenly has a face of someone who's seen a lot of things, cool and composed, even a little numb as she says it. There will always be worse things. ]

He gave me a fair warning and I keep it to heart. There are far worse things in this world.

[Will comes up behind Maglor, jar in hand with what seems to be a fairy]

Already? Maybe you shoulda wished for a vacation by the beach.

[Her expression softens immediately.]

You are family. You raised my husband. You are one of the greatest bards to have ever lived, my mothers cousin. You're brave and caring.

So of course there are still those who care about you. If I am upset, it is only because you seem to think so little of yourself.

[ She may easily be perceived as a cynical or overconfident youth as she speaks. There is still a naivete to her initial reaction to these situations themselves. ]

May I ask you something, Mr. Maglor? Do you doubt me?

[Very softly:] There is blood on my mothers hands as well. But that does not make her any less great than she is. And Elrond thinks highly of you, even knowing the things you've done. You cannot be so terrible as you think.

[... Celegorm.] You are not responsible for him.

You should not worry about us right now, if that is the case. I am sure he is traveling as much as the situation allows to see you. You need rest more than I do. I'm sure that he'll be happy to see you; he looked for his son at the feast, I'll have you know.

[Will ignores the squeak, but does hope the thing isn't a biter like the one in the jar.]

And that's why I never put mine back in once Alice stole it back. Hearts are too much trouble.

[He wasn't going to try and talk Maglor into another wish, but he did feel for the guy. As much as he could anyway]

Celegorm? Your brother right? He comin' here too?

[He wondered if the elf would bring the pups he'd found. Not that Will cared, but they were a little entertaining]

Kinder than any I have ever known. [She agrees and then sighs. Are you overlooking the point she was trying to make, Maglor? Are you?] Mother is wiser than many but you know well what I meant.

That does not make you responsible for him. He is grown and with a mind and will of his own.

[Okay, she didn't want to do this but...]

Consider my words, uncle. If I were to do something contemptible and my mother took blame of it on herself, what might you say?

[He pretends to ignore the fairy, but he can't help shaking the jar a bit as he talks. Sure that one seemed friendly enough, but the one in the jar had been causing Will nothing but trouble before he caught it]

Right. I ain't saying you shouldn't make up for your mistakes or what have you, but going around like you're going to die from a bit of heartbreak and guilt does nothing.

Don't think Celegorm would like to see you doin' this moping about either. [Will remembered that the elf had seemed concerned enough for his brother. It almost reminded Will of how he had once been with Penelope]

Battle-lust? He seemed a bit...stern, but he didn't seem so ready for war when I talked to him, not with all them puppies hanging around like he was some, uh, well, elf.

[maglor please she could totally be fearsome grrr]

You do not sound so sure now.

How could she protect me from the things I might have done? Especially if I needed to learn from my mistakes?

She would have no control of my actions. It would involve her only in the fact that I am her daughter, nothing more.
