[ something dark and ugly in his gentle second son's eyes, satisfied too, like a cat playing with a mouse ]
The Seelie Champion killed him. He bartered his life for the Silmaril. She knows better now.
[ he shrugs, and perhaps the level of unconcern is true, or maybe Maglor is just that good an actor these days ]
It hurt a lot. [ He says plainly ] I wished the Silmaril away, where none could ever lay hand to it. And then I spoke of my weariness to my friend, and the magic took it as permission and removed my heart again. It hurt a lot to get it back that time. [ Absently, he pushes a strand of hair back from his face and there is the briefest moment when the moonlight hits at just the right angle to seem to shine through him. Maglor no longer Fades, but reversal... ]
Maedhros... Nyelo is grim and ... speaks little. And... there is only blackness in his eyes. It is. Like after Thangorodrim. And after Fingon... Findekano was slain. He... hates it here so badly, amongst the orcs. But he needs to earn enough favor to get us out. I do not think he is sleeping. He barely eats. He only smiles for me.
