I cannot take your memories or your love for them away; I would not want to. Elrond is a joy. He forgives me and seeks my company; he is not bitter and angry.

I appreciate what you did, Maedhros. I am also very, very angry at you. You took what was left of my family from me. I think you understand how that feels.

I do. That is precisely why I offer all I do to try to atone even a tiny amount for what I did to you.

I want to say that isn't possible. But the truth is...

You have already begun to atone for it. Watch over my Elrond and my Elros should he arrive. Keep their stars bright and I shall do likewise.

I would do that regardless. They deserve my best, and I am determined to give it.

As do you. This City has given me an undeserved second chance. I shall not waste it.

As any parent would.

We must guard them together. I do not possess your Silmaril; can I trust you will not take advantage of me?

They taught me much.

I am yours to command, my Lord. Hurting you further would hurt Elrond and Elros, which I hope by now you realize I will not do.

You have my word.

Then {That word stands alone for a moment before other words follow.} we should know each other better.

{The reply is long in coming. Maedhros is just a lot bit stunned.}

You need only say where and when. I will come.

{He isn't sure himself.}

The beach. Tomorrow morning.

I will be there.
