mistletoe meme comment with your character bam, now your character is under some mistletoe. no moving until you lock lips with someone. easy as it sounds.
{He smiles mysteriously. Such matters lie between Arwen and himself, sorry Maglor. Whatever has transpired between them, he has no regrets and he is quite certain she feels the same.}
Who you are is independent from what you have done. {Maglor has changed and grown from his mistakes.} The tales do not speak of your kindness because they are tales. You are real, living flesh.
Names are given on a whim - some connect us to crimes whilst others speak of our strengths or weaknesses. I have been christened Estel by the Elves, Strider by Men, Thorongil when I was walking in secret and Elessar for my royal blood. These names do not define me. I carry them like a cloak on my back to remember the past and better the future.
{He purses his lips thoughtfully.}
Can Kinslayer not do the same for you? {His expression falls.} Her soul has passed, Maglor; her children grew into wise Men under the guidance of Maedhros and yourself. What ever grudge she may bear you cannot overlook the kindness you rendered. A mother's heart is ever with her children.
Oh Aragorn. [ Sad and tired ] Some names may be, but ours was earned, willfully and knowingly. Even here, when a Silmaril was brought to light, the Oath would have made of us, of me a murderer again, if not for my brother's sacrifice. Even then, so many died...
Lady Elwing might have words for you about that. I doubt she would look kindly on me, no matter what.
What peace is there for the Feanorionnath? I am sure Lord Elrond did not neglect your education - you must know the words of our Oath...and also our Doom. 'To evil end will all things turn' - I dare not look to hope, and joy is but fleeting.

[ soberly ] You should not concern yourself with the likes of me - there are others here who will need you more than an old kinslayer.

{However...}
I am biased towards those I care.

[ He bows in thanks, and Aragorn might notice how he never quite meets his eyes ]
And I thank you for it, Elrondion, although in the same breath I would warn you away.

{His light-heartedness fades and he fights to meet Maglor's gaze.}
I will not heed your warning. Until you call me Aragorn, I will seek your company.

[ Too much like his foster father murmur the Ambarussa softly in his ear Too kind by far
Maglor shrugs a little and although he permits eye contact he will not hold it, eyes flicking away ]
You should, Aragorn. You know the tales. You know what I am, what we are, my brother and I.

That I extended kindness to one whose mother I drove off a cliff - is that even a kindness? I am dangerous Aragorn. Even here. Even now.

{He scratches his cheek, eyes solemn.}
Such might be asking too much of her, however I will not retract what I said.
