They've left him alone in his cell.
He can't really be said to be lucid but he has very acute instincts for when there's someone and when he's alone - it's the last of his senses to depart him - and he's alone.
And then suddenly he isn't.
She cuddles up next to him. Yeah. We're working on it. There's a hard edge to her tone, there.
Does he want to talk now - does he actually want to talk at all, I can always just avoid him entirely -
They want to apologize to you, and to work on reuniting the hosts. I'm not sure what would happen if you refused to let them, but I don't think they'd be happy about it.
Maybe. They still want to apologize - need to, they said. And when they're calm they seem pretty okay with the idea of talking to you in general - through the portals, I assume, but. They still care about you.
If he says he didn't burn the ships what does he want to apologize for?
I don't know? I've been trying not to ask for details about painful things. Not being able to stop it, maybe.
Fëanáro was a bit of a mess, by the end. I - I believe him if he says that he tried.
It's still not enough to fix things.
Nod. That's between the two of you. They want to try; it's up to you what you do with that. She hugs him.
It's not really between the two of us. Me forgiving him wouldn't reunite our hosts. But thanks.
Nod. The part that is, I mean. The other... I don't know. I don't think it necessarily makes anything worse, at least.
Okay. You can tell him I'll see him when he's ready and I want my dead people back.
Okay.
She doesn't go immediately, but un-cuddles a little, like she's about to unless he stops her.
They didn't want me to. I think they're going to be okay but it's going to take a little while.
Nod. I don't think so either, yeah. I might be an unpleasant reminder, but I can live with that, I don't think it'll be a permanent problem.
They did have a message for you - they'll see you when you're ready and they want their dead people back, whatever that means.
I think he's just saying that I can't set this right and shouldn't try. But if we're not united I don't know if we can win. Maybe I should talk to Nolofinwe, he might be more interested in finding a way.....
That's more or less what they were thinking, yeah. That if you didn't burn the ships there's nothing to apologize for personally, and that reuniting the hosts is impossible - I think they're probably wrong about that but I could definitely see them being upset about the idea of you thinking about how to, right now. Nolofinwe is their parent?
His father, yes. Their host's claimant to the crown. I need to be in better condition first but I think he'd be willing to work with me.
