    Summary

    They're looking for us. All we have to do is wait to be found.

     

    Eluréd and Elurín want to watch the approaching parade, that's all. They didn't mean to go far. But now it's dark, and it's cold, and they don't know where they are anymore.

    Someone is going to come for them. Someone is surely searching for them now. They just have to wait for someone to find them.

    Summary

    Fingon’s voice is cool when he answers. “And what will you decide is necessary?” he asks.

    “For what?” Maedhros replies.

    Fingon folds his arms across his chest. “To reach that end. Your father let the end justify the means more than enough times. Are you going to do the same?”

    Maedhros stares at him. “It depends on the ends,” he says eventually. “It depends on the means.”

     

    They're so close.

    They just need to go a little further. They just need a little more.

    Summary

    Ambarussa and their friend, Aracáno, youngest and least looked after of the First and Second House, run away. Their fathers are clearly too engrossed in their miserable arms' race, and they might as well make their displeasure known in the melodramatic ways only young children can.

    Fëanáro and Ñolofinwë must, thereby, co-operate to find and coax out the runaways.

    Two bitter, stressed men riding alone in endless warm prairies leads to some intense conversations, a tension that is perhaps becoming a little suspect, and some— reassessments.
