[This has been a loooong time in coming, Maglor, and you know it.]

Are you satisfied yet? [And because he knows Maglor, Ecthelion specifies after a pause.] In your campaign against Rip for what she has done.

[YES HE HAS BEEN WATCHING]

[Voice] /slides this in here while answering my Mags tags

[bythewaves]

[ ................

You were watching? ]

Without Finnian here, my lord, I no longer act.

[ Which isn't to say that he's satisfied, as such... ]

[Voice] /cackles gleefully

[silverwaters]

[Hadn't he said he would be? Perhaps it had just been implied. But really, Maglor, Ecthelion has far too many people here he loves, and more that he'll protect. He's not going to just sit back and not watch what you and your brother do.

...But he is not heartless. He can see that Maglor does still hold...mostly...to his word. And the loss of a child held dear is not easy.]

And you hold to your promise to me. I know it is not always an easy path, but it is remembered.

I MISS TAGS WITH YOU OK

[bythewaves]

[ Well yes, at the start but this is months down the track ]

I said that I would. [ He says quietly ] We have always kept our word. [ Always ]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww <3!

[silverwaters]

[Ecthelion stood guard for how long and with endless patience. A few months is nothing.]

And it is good to see it holds true here too. [He might not like what Maglor did to Rip, but...honestly she had kind of deserved it.] Do you well?

[bythewaves]

[ Yes well... this is... different? ]

I... [ He looks honestly very confused and surprised by the question ]


I do ... well enough?

[silverwaters]

[Serene~]

That is well. You are important to Aragorn, and others here.

[bythewaves]

I... [ BUT WHY THO ]

Am not someone of concern.

FINALLY GOT TO USE THIS ICON

[silverwaters]

[Eye brow arches.]

Oh? I was unaware that was up to you to control, even with all your skill with music.

LOL

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor is visibly confused and flustered ]

I... well... no... but... I am... not worth anyone's concern, truly.

XD

[silverwaters]

[Mags can't see it but Echthelion is silently snickering.]

You were before. They remember that. And you have made friends here.

[bythewaves]

That... was a very long time ago.

[silverwaters]

Then why can even I see something of that elf in you, how you are here?

[bythewaves]

You only see his ghost.

[silverwaters]

A ghost which is stronger than the Kinslayer you became.

[bythewaves]

I cannot see it.

[silverwaters]

I can. Others can. I do not believe it is all an act.

[bythewaves]

I...

[ Well it isn't, is it? Or he hopes that it is not... ]

You are kinder than yo should be.

[silverwaters]

Gondolin is no more. All there is now is here, until eventually I return and pass to Mandos' Halls. It means adjusting to what is.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor bows his head in rememberence ]

We all grieved when Gondolin fell. [ He remembers sadly ] But it was so secret that even had Turgon been willing for us to aid him, we could never have reached you in time.

[silverwaters]

[...This is...news. It catches him off-guard. He can hear the sorrow and sincerity in Maglor's voice.]

There is the ghost speaking. Makalaure. The ghost would possibly have been welcomed, had that path been open in time.

[bythewaves]

[ He shakes his head ]

Even the ghost would have been denied at the gate, I think. Turgon ... was never terribly good at the forgiveness thing.

[silverwaters]

I stood at the gate.

[A stifled sigh.]

...No. He is not. Though he usually has good cause.

[bythewaves]

And Turgon would have ordered you to keep us out. [ Maglor points out realistically ]

Assuming he told anyone how to get there, which he did not. [ Worst High King of all time, seriously ]

[silverwaters]

Perhaps not, had certain things been different.

[HEY

HE WAS TRYING TO PROTECT THEM

Y'know. From KINSLAYERS. And Morgoth I guess]
