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) ]

[Xellos chooses the most inappropriate moment clap.]

Lovely song, but the tune is so sad!

[Said as cheerfully and airily as possible.]

[Oh, jumpy! Note to self: pop the fuck out of nowhere behind this guy if he ever gets the chance.]

No need to apologize, I'm harldy disturbed! But perhaps you should have considered that before turning your locket on.

How lucky that you're out there, then, and not singing in the shower.

[Oho.]

The same! Why pains, though? I admit I've only arrived a couple days ago, but the court doesn't seem too bad.

[Fairies fly around Celebrian, charmed by hers and her mothers voices and sticking close so they can hear more of their singing. And now they're interested in Maglor's voice as well. It's their doing that opens Celebrian's locket so they can all listen.]

Uncle.

[She's sure he'll hear her.]

It was lovely. [She starts, watching with a smile as he glares at the fairy. And she's glad that he doesn't look quite so distraught as she though he might be.]

Mother told me that you were not well.

I'm glad. Mother and I hope to arrive at the Station in just a few days, I will come to see you then.

[She won't mention the request she'd received to keep an eye on Maglor. She would have gone to see him even without it.]

I was made to promise that I would not go alone and Elrond asked her to join me before I could. [Elrond had been on top of things with that.]

He left a week ago. He told me he would ride hard to meet us there.

[A part of her is glad for that, a bitter part of her. And the other would be glad because she doesn't want to see him fade.]

[ She's been listening to it without a word, because it seems to work for the imps on her end, too. Killing them is stress relief. She hasn't been sleeping since she arrived, so the gentle lull of the strings and as well as his voice has Alice resting her head on her knees for a few minutes. She's exhausted and this is not helping.

She's been forcing herself to forgo sleep to prove that she can handle the trek. Who would have thought that Feanor has spurred her stubborn nature to prove herself.

She's only resting her eyes, she swears. ]
