I wouldn't have told him that - or you - if I did not think you capable of leading.
[ Maglor says quietly ] My loyalty is not easily bought - the designation might have been given arbitrarily, but my sentiments are not. Thank you, Sorey.
No, thank you for taking the time to listen, and to help me understand. I appreciate it. [And finally Sorey can give Maglor a genuine smile, albeit a small one. He's going to have to have a talk with Mikleo regarding all of this and see if they can't come to an agreement.]
You have a good heart, Sorey, brave and kind. Thank you for bothering to explain - it only proves that I was right, to accept you and Mikleo in that role.
Yes, well. Um, I don't know if they'd care to listen, but if you need me to repeat any of this to your family, please let me know. I just wanted to talk to you first.

[ Maglor assures him ]
I have been wrangling Maedhros for centuries - I will convince him.
