Thingol needs to be convinced, but... A humanitarian mission behind lines mostly held by the Noldor, to assist his new in-laws - for many of those Men are under the care of Beren's House - is a much easier proposition.

(He's... Considering on his own, actually, allowing the establishment of human communities in Doriath's borders, away from Menegroth. Disease is much less of a problem here, orcs hardly an issue at all.)

(He doesn't want to charge out, to risk what he's built, but Beren's words about Doriath as a shelter have been striking a slow chord.)

He'll put the operation under Luthien's command, if she'd like. 

She'll take it.

Then his best wishes go with her. 

(And his political backing and resources too, of course.)

(He doesn't look excited about sending Luthien out of Doriath again, but... It's a big step for him.)

It is. But she won't be going alone. She'll have her wife, and the volunteers, and the guards.

A comfort to him. 

He'll have guards stationed to receive messages; she can send word ahead if she needs extra supplies sent, or for an area to be prepared for refugees.

She will do so.

Out, then.

"What do you want me doing, Ellin?" 

"Show us where to go."

"I will," she says, and sets to making maps of the area with notes on population as Luthien finishes organizing the supplies.

Then - out of Doriath, to the worst-hit regions first.

It's not pleasant for Doriath's elves to see. But it is important that they do so, to understand the cost of suffering and increase the pressure to open their borders and help with the broader conflict.

It's tough for Mygwainor, too, and she's used to it. 

They make their way through, helping, assisting in quarantining and treating the sick, bringing food and medicine and other supplies. Some of the communities seem likely to take them up on the offer to relocate, but - not all. 

They end up at the halls of Hurin and Huor, soon enough. Hurin's entire family is ill except Huor, the adults somewhat less debilitatingly so, and Hurin has ordered the villages split, the sick quarantined far from the well, with separate water sources, the well not often downwind of the sick.

They don't know how this spreads. He's being cautious. (His people will make it through stronger than anyone else. It won't be enough.)

Morwen is working as a nurse, eyes sharp despite a feverish glaze, when Huor directs the elven relief to Hurin's sick village. 

They'll do what they can. Take over nursing duties from those who need rest.

Mygwainor can't get sick even moreso than the elves, so she does a lot.

(Lalwen is among the sick. This timeline's Turin is among the sick, and keeps wanting to help his baby sister.)

(Mygwainor's a numb, dissociated sort of unhappy.)

Luthien will take over interactions with Turin's family for her.

She - 

Feels like she shouldn't need it.

But interacting with her family hurts. In the way anything she wants but can't have hurts.

She's more than willing to let Luthien take over, though. 

All right. (Hugs.)

Snugs.

"Thanks. You're - really good."

"My dear Mygwainor. So lovely and brave."

Kiss. "My wonderful Ellin. Kind, competent, intelligent..."

"Beautiful and brave."

"Of course. All the excellent things."

Hug.

Hug!

Back to the grind, then? (It's been a long, horrible slog, but - the outbreak seems almost over. They've saved a lot of lives, and probably next is checking back in with people who might want to relocate...)

Once she gets some initial estimates, she'll write to her father.

Doriath's borders are open to refugees at only a few places, and they're being settled nowhere near Menegroth - but the chosen locations have plenty of fresh water, and existing meadows that can be farmed easily, and forests full of game and easy forage. He's assigning some guards to each settlement, to orient them to the area, help guard them, and help watch for problems among the population themselves. 

Right now it seems like the main plan is for most people to go, and once the new settlements are established for anyone interested in fighting to leave Doriath again - or join the border guards, perhaps arrange raids projecting out. 

Hurin and Huor will be splitting up for now, Hurin with those going to Doriath, Huor with those staying.
