Who: Maedhros & YOU
Broadcast: Fleet-Wide.
Action: Open to HS Marsiva.
When: Morning.

(Marsiva's hospitality cannot erase what Maedhros has endured. He is dressed cleanly and his hair is braided neatly and away from his face. Even his burns have been healed with minimal scarring. But there is something untamed in his eyes.

Something that burns like a hungry, desperate fire.)

...why? (His low voice resonates clearly, cutting through the air with ease. He needn't ever shout.) Surely these quarters are not located within the Halls of Mandos?

(He feels life flowing within him and it is wrong. Lifting his only fist, he hits the nearest wall, clenching his teeth.)

Do not trap my fëa. Arda is safer with me dead.

(He can't stop a small smile at that pride.)

What do you say to a compromise? We stand by each other - neither one of us before or behind?

I can do that. [ Maglor smiles back shyly ] I would be honored to stand by your side again.

The honor is mine. (He takes nothing for granted.) I did not expect acceptance for you, honestly.

[ A shy shrug and Maglor looks away ]

I... was very angry with you for a long time. [ He admits ]

But... it... I grew to understand, why you felt that you had to go. And... you are my brother. I love you, Nelyo.

(He waits for Maglor to say what is on his mind and heart, shifting guiltily.)

I knew you would be; that was a natural reaction.

(Deep down, he craves absolution. Forgiveness. But this -)

Do not forgive me yet, Kano. I will earn it, day by day.

It is alright. [ He assures him ]

I love you, Nelyo, truly. I understand, why you had to go. My forgiveness you had the day I realised I felt the same, only I was too much a coward to try.
