Who: Maedhros
Broadcast: Fleetwide~
Action: On the S.S. Huntress.
When: Friday morning.

The best secrets are never told; they are buried down deep and killed before they reach the lips.

(His family has many such secrets and he has added a vault or two of his own to them. He also knows the power of denial. A secret can't hurt if you believe it isn't real.)

I am experienced with secrets and lies. There are not any that could hurt me now. However...

Those rumors relating to my family shall do them no harm. If they were heard, you will forget them.

(There is a steely glint to his eyes now; threatening, mad.)

[ The scars are, for now, quiescent, silvery and not red, although some show signs of being split, testament to the fact that Maglor is using them for music more often ]

Good. I like this place - there is much music, here.

(He runs his thumb over them, frowning at the splits. The skin will heal and Maglor might have greater mobility. Even so...)

I would like to hear what you hear.

[ At least he does not seem to be in pain? Although Maglor barely reacts to the touches, as if sensation is dulled ]

I wish you could too, Nelyo. It was always so frustrating when I was younger.

(He brings the hand, scars and all to his lips, kissing the abused skin.)

The faces you would make! I tried my hardest to hear; I continue still to try.

[ Maglor lets him, docilely, smiling at him ]

Maybe one day, Nelyo, but until then I will sing them for you.

With our luck, I will manage it at Arda's last moments. (He nuzzles the hand, remembering when it was much smaller.)

[ Maglor's fingers curl shyly at the affection ]

Maybe everyone will, when it is rewritten.

(Maedhros covers the hand with his own, smiling.)

Then you will not feel alone!

[ That hand turns to clasp his and Maglor smiles ]

I wonder what the Second Music will sound like.
