Yet it was my brother's hand that struck against him, and on my brother's hands his blood, and possibly, his life. What other choice had I? If one of Feanor's sons dealt the injury, should not one of Feanor's sons mend it? I kept him alive, atarinya, until House could tend his wounds [ Yes dad, his friends told him that dad was on their backs ]. I will not apologise for that.
[ His life is worth more than mine goes unsaid, but perhaps it is heard in any case ]
It is done, in any case. His father rides for the station, and the prince is as stable as House can keep him, but it takes Elven skill to keep a fea from fleeing, and if that is all I can do, then I do not begrudge it.
[ Gentler, because as tired and weary as he is, he can tell Feanor worries ] I will be here when you arrive atarinya. I told you as much, and I will keep that promise.
