Do you think I will let harm befall my many times great grandfather? {Family is dear to him. He knows Maglor has paid - and is paying - for what he has done. The same fate awaits Maedhros, yet he leaves it in Maglor's hands.
As for her hating all humans, he will find that notion ignorant no matter her experience. There are Elves who hate all Dwarves - for much the same reason as her - yet he finds it equally disturbing. Hold those responsible accountable, but do not make assumptions on race alone.}
...I am glad you understand my actions, if I need to take them, then.
[Then she looks down, and that grimness seems to fade away, the fretful, but kind hearted woman there again.]
...I am being cold to you. I apologize. The actions of the last few days have left me very frustrated--all I want is peace, and to protect those I care about, if I can't have peace.
[As for having every human--maybe not all of them. Beleth's relationship with the humans of her world is complicated and confusing, even to herself.]
I urge you to not take them. No harm will come to Maglor or Maedhros whilst Glorfindel, Celebrían and myself exist. We desire peace and second chances and we are overtired of war.
{He holds up a hand and shakes his head.}
Your frustration is understandable. I only wished for you to know that innocents do not exist in this argument and that both sides have work to do.
[Be a good girl, Beleth. Stand aside, and let other people take care of it. People older and wiser, people who do understand fully, and people from that world--a list of things you will never hope to achieve. Stand aside, and let the people who belong take care of it, while you watch and fret, what else can you possibly do?
The bitterness twists inside of her, cruel thoughts crowding her head as she nods along to what Aragorn says. But he will receive none of the toxic words--like most of Beleth's venom, it is aimed at herself alone.]
I understand, Lord Aragorn. I owe you greatly--your kindness to come to me on this matter, and your patience in dealing with me while doing so. I can only give you my best wishes that you are successful. But if there's anything I can do to aid any of you on this mission, you need only name it, and it will be done.
Support Maglor by being his friend. I can ask you to do no more than that. {Mainly because he is still feeling this out himself. He wants to consult the Elves and hear their reactions in person.} This is but a passing shadow. Even seemingly perfect beings can have their imperfect moments.
{He tilts his head, frowning.} Why do you thank me? You are involved in this as Maglor's ally. In that, we share a cause.
[There is a wry smile on her face when he tells her of the imperfections of the elves. She's learning this, more and more. She almost wishes she didn't know. That she could hold them up to the ideal of elven perfection that she sought. But such a thing was fair for no one, herself, or them.]
I thank you for speaking to me, and for bringing me explanation. For making sure I understand, and that I know steps are being taken to prevent bloodshed. And I thank you for being patient. I know my mood is poor, and I am not always kind when I am thus. Yet, you have stayed patient and kind. And I thank you for that.
