The day holds as much politicking as she can tolerate, and Luthien's happy to show her around, and the Dwarves want hot forges. 

Sounds like a day. She goes about it.

I have to admit, Luthien says hurriedly to her mid-afternoon, I didn't think the prisoner problem would come up for months, it is not like it happens constantly. But we have someone. 

And they're willing to be checked?

I didn't say you could edit minds - you won't, right? - just that you can check them and make sure they're safe. 

I won't unless they want me to.

Okay. Well you can explain that yourself, I think she'd have been scared off if I'd tried. 

Yeah, that's fine. Where?

Usually we don't let them into Doriath at all but I pleaded with my father. She's outside the gates of Menegroth under guard. 

So there goes Kiri.

And there she is. Under guard. Emaciated and shivering and looking utterly terrified. 

...is she cold? She does not have to be cold. Hello. You said it would be okay for me to check your mind over to see if you're safe?

I don't want them to drive me off, I could get captured again - I told them to just kill me and then they said you had powerful magic that could test whether I was safe -

Sometimes people come out of Angband and then hurt other people. I can read minds. If you want to let me read your mind I can check if you're likely to do that.

Okay. 

Kiri approaches within range.

She wants to stop existing but even Mandos cannot do that and she does not want to go to Mandos they say you can't interact with others there and it'll be a long time - such a long time - she's not fit for Valinor, not fit even for Menegroth, Mandos will not let her into his paradise to despoil it with the wants to stop existing - suicide is a crime - here she is - she is not in pain right now but she is not very far from the memories of it and they are very vivid memories. 

...Kiri owes it to whoever she'd be living among to look a little harder. Impulses to violence: any?

She would definitely kill pretty much everyone in Angband given the chance. She doesn't seem to want to hurt Elves. 

I think you're safe.

From what, exactly? 

For what. I think you're safe to be around. - If you want me to but only if you want me to I can do more than read.

I don't want anyone messing with my head again. 

That's okay. It's up to you.

Kiri steps back. I don't think she wants to hurt any of you.

It's not obvious that any of them wanted to, Luthien says. Just that somehow the Enemy can make them.
