Fëanáro announces that evening that they're taking the ships and leaving.

Well that answers that question.

They're going to all move at once, hopefully be out of the harbor before they're even noticed, wear everything you want to take with you, some of the host will meet them on the coast a hundred miles north of here to load supplies onto the boats.

Alright then. She has her wedding ring and the clothes she arrived in; she's wearing other things too but those are the irreplaceable ones.

Wear armor, sweetheart? Just for my peace of mind - Fëanáro'd made some for all of them back in Formenos. Almost anything bounced off it, and it was enchanted to be lightweight and comfortable too.

It's not gonna come up, is it?

We're hopefully going to be out before they even notice but if there's someone sleeping on his boat with a knife or something - also, if you're not wearing it someone has to carry it north for you...

Yeah, makes sense. She wears the armor.

They get to the boats. There are, in fact, people sleeping on their boats - without knives, thankfully, and they drag them off. Fëanáro does not even look particularly apologetic. Do you know how many people are dying in Endore right now? he snarls at a boat-owner -

- and then people are racing out of the city towards the harbor, someone must have raised an alarm -

And then someone pulls out a knife and it glances off Noldorin armor and someone shoves someone else over the edge into the water and the man with the knife learns to aim for the face - 

Fuck. Fuck.

She does what she can--this Teleri is blinded with a faceful of wax, that one's dragged to the ground, that one's--

And anyone who gets near her with a blade is going to die, and everyone firing arrows at her is going to die...

They were preparing to fight the Enemy's forces. They don't have nonlethal options, especially not for people coming at them with lethal intent, fuck.

And the only people here who die for good are his wife and her sister - get onto the boats, get moving out of here...

There are people between her and the boats--she starts moving in that direction--

People who stop them are going to be out of their way -

And there's the boats--

And they're in the water, which is rising up angrily around them - the harbor Maiar, Osse and Uinen -

Crap

we're really sorry we're really sorry we didn't mean for any of this to happen can you fucking stop the people fighting instead of just sinking boats -

Why are they sinking boats how will that help anything

mad at us, obviously - 

The boat doesn't sink. They watch ten others that do. They make it farther out to calmer water and watch through other eyes as the fighting ends, on shore, with thousands of bodies littering the ground.

At some point the watching makes him dizzy. That's odd. He's not usually dizzy.

He doesn't actually notice the injury until he slumps to the ground.

No--

She drops to his side, where's the injury, can she bandage it, what--

His head is bleeding. His skull is dented. There is in fact quite a lot of blood, and he didn't even notice...

Fuck.

Is there anyone around not wearing armor, any fabric she can press against the wound--

Not offhand. People see her dismay and start singing, though.
