"I fear that his anger may partly be my doing. I owe you an apology... but I am glad that he has been reunited with his family. And, indeed, gained a family member, as it seems." Look, one of Míriel's rare smiles!

"We don't talk about it much, but I think he's upset decades early that I will get old and die. It's what mortals do. I can't help it."
