Perhaps . . . I should too.

It can be hard, to hold hope. [ Maglor agrees ]

But I am old, and I have seen it - always, the sun rises, even after the darkest and longest night.

[ Obi-Wan has yet to see it. ]

I know.

[bythewaves]

The dawn always comes. That is what estel is founded on - hope not for oneself, for such hopes are often in vain. But for the morning. If there are any who would heed me, Obi-wan, I pray that you might see your morning.

[beardstrokes]

I will.

[ Perhaps that is his problem and gift: Obi-Wan doesn't give up. He can't. There's never been a time where he learned how to. ]

[bythewaves]

Then I am glad. [ Maglor says softly ]

For I would hope that my friend would be granted better days than I.

[beardstrokes]

They will come. Someday.

[bythewaves]

May it come within your lifetime.

[beardstrokes]

It will.

[ He knows it. ]

[bythewaves]

I am glad.

[beardstrokes]

[ Obi-Wan couldn't say the same. But he lets the silence fall, companionable. ]

good place to end?

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor settles next to him to watch the stars go by in content ]

yep

[beardstrokes]

[ Stars twinkle as the Force seeps into Obi-Wan's mind, curling itself around him. Touched and never touched. ]
