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 shakes his head slowly.) That...cannot be. Telperion, the White Tree, bore only one Silver Flower before its destruction. That flower was given to Tilion for protection and guidance.

It's not uncommon for a planet to have more than one satellite, especially when they become quite large and have stronger gravitational pulls. Some are able to support life where their planets cannot, and some, like Earth's, are simply dead rock.

Dead...rocks? Supports of life? You are not speaking of the Moon, then. (That makes more sense to him.) It is merely light from one of the Two Trees.

No, they're called moons. Other species and planets might call them different things, but the Earthian term is moon. It's a round rock that floats around Earth's orbit, rises and sets in counter to the sun.

Our languages must be creating a barrier. (It's to be expected. Breathe, Captain.)

Okay, well, let's try this then - what does the word 'moon' mean to you? Do you have a round, glowing object that appears in your sky at night and that is what you call 'the moon'? Or is it something else?

The Moon is the source of our favored light. It does appear as an orb in the sky, but that is because the light is so bright.

So you guys have moonlight. We do too, but where I am from that is caused by sunlight being reflected off the moon and onto Earth. The moon itself does not produce light.

Your world is very strange. (But interesting.) Which light do you prefer?

_{[ Blinks. Well that's an interesting question. ]}

Star light, I think. I've always liked stars.

Moonlight and Starlight are the most favored by the Elves. You would not be out of place in that regard.

Re: video;

Heh, though I think we like them for different reasons. But you should enjoy that here - plenty of Starlight all around.
