Not always. And... I still wonder if he blamed me for Thangorodrim.

An elder brother would not want to risk his younger brother even if it means he will suffer endlessly.

I wish I could believe that he forgives me.

Family cannot help but forgive. {It's part of the package, especially when family is so close.} It has been long enough even if he felt anger towards you.

Maybe.

[ Is all he says, but Aragorn can maybe hear the words he does not say: 'Then why did he leave me behind?' ]

[rangerandking]

It was his weakness - his breaking point - and it had nothing to do with you.

{No one blames Elrond for failing to hold back Isildur; no one blames Maglor for failing to hold back Maedhros. Choices are made and consequences inevitably follow, but those left behind do not deserve guilt.}

I was supposed to look after them. Be the moderating influence. I could not even change his mind.

And I am supposed to be a Healer and a Renewer. {What healing is he doing? How is he renewing anything?} Our talents cannot solve every riddle or save every soul.

[ Maglor points out quietly ]

But they are all lost to me now.

[rangerandking]

You have not lost your talent. {Why else does he feel calm in his presence?}

Have I not? I think you think on me too kindly, Elrondion.
