Akibel Mowar is on his way home from the blacksmith's when he spots it. People are shrieking and fleeing from it, which seems reasonable, as it's a fuckoff huge snake with a mirror for a face. A big mirror.
Kib can't so much flee. He can shriek - he can lurch in the direction of the nearest house and try the door - it's locked. He can amble briskly...
He can break into a run when the snake gains on him and fall flat on his face.
And he can get eaten up.
And it's too bright too bright too bright and he flings his arm over his eyes.

I think you may be overestimating your share of responsibility in the existence of the relationship.
When I had interacted with you enough to conclude that I desperately desired you I could have offered you one of my brothers as a go-between and translator and offered you a place to live not in the palace and then avoided you entirely and been very demanding of Findekáno for a few years. It would have worked fine.

I would have been all 'wait, what, why am I moving, what happened, is there some reason we suddenly cannot communicate in person'.
You wouldn't have had to move because I'd reached that conclusion before you moved in in the first place.
Anyway, becoming involved with you was definitely under my control enough I can express my very restricted regrets.

If you regret it you could always dump me and bustle me out of the palace.
That's why I said 'very restricted'. I have no intention of ever letting you go.
Unless you want that. It's not in fact true that men attracted to men have a deficiency in caring about that.

Hmm? I thought you knew about that one, Findekáno said that the first time he took you up the walls you made a joke about it.
Ah, okay. That's not particularly interesting, it's 'people inclined to do evil things like sleep with men are evil people and are probably also inclined to do other evil things'.
Also vague historical origins in things the Enemy used to do, I think.
World's worst paradise, Tylecormo likes saying. Except now there are two worlds.
Then we'll keep the status.
When we make another paradise we're going to make it better, so Valinor will get to remain the worst one.
Depends a lot on what the upcoming mystery events are.
I think that conversation was probably productive. At least we know what the Silmarils are.

You'd threatened to explode in frustration otherwise, hadn't you?
