[ Oh, Maglor. Elrond and his brother fell under the doom of the Oath the moment they were taken from Sirion, screaming out their mother's name as they watched her fall from the cliff. ]

None of us can undo the past, you know that.

[ He says nothing else for a good, long while, just listening to the words, and intent behind them, head bowed against the anguish and grief so potent in the Feanorian's voice. Instinct once again takes over. Elrond steps forward to pull the older man into his arms for a tight hug.

It doesn't matter that Maglor is responsible for the slaying of his grandparents - at least, not in this moment - and a host of other crimes so great they can never be fully repented. What matters is his pain; Elrond is the greatest healer of his kind, and refuses to turn his back on suffering, no matter the source. ]

But that does not mean we cannot influence the future.

[ He goes absolutely stone still when Elrond pulls him into his arms (and Elrond can probably tell - Maglor is too thin, still, a little too pale - he does better, with Maedhros here, but one cannot entirely ever reverse an attempt to Fade) and there is a long, long moment where he does not move, and then his arms come up in a tight grip and he bows his head to Elrond's shoulder ]

You should not. [ he whispers ] After all we did to you, my wise one. You should turn me away.

I cannot change the past but if never seeing you changes the future for your benefit then I would take that road again and again.

[ he forces himself to let go and pull back (quietly, the scars on his hand burn, but he is used to the pain, by now) ]

[elvenwise]

[ Yes, he can tell. Even a blind, deaf healer would be able to sense the neglect surrounding Maglor. He stuffs the burst of professional irritation down into the pit of his stomach and simply hugs his once foster-father until the prince pulls away.

(Dispossessed they may be, but he will always be a prince of the House of Finwe to Elrond.) ]

And is it your choice alone that decides this? Or am I allowed a say in the matter.

[ The master of Rivendell favors Maglor with a stern look when he finally pulls away, not unlike one he'd turn on his own sons for knowingly doing something foolish. ]

[bythewaves]

I... [ He falters at that ]

I will not... refuse you if... you seek my company. But even here our Curse walks, Elrond. It has already brought harm to those undeserving. It would be better if you did not.

[ But already Maglor knows he cannot refuse his fosterling. If Elrond asks it, he would move the world for one he hurt so badly ]
