Daeron /Maglor "Sorrow's Search"
***
“Wanderer, what do you seek?”
“Lúthien the Fair. Have you heard her sing by star or brook?”
“I cannot help you. Rest.” Maglor drew him to a woodland seat of leaf and litter. “Eat.” He knew this man, seeking Celegorm’s fled intended. He lay beside his haunted sleep, woke him with a caress. Grief-worn eyes hardly cared that he was importuned.
***
A sigh, and Daeron turned toward palm outstretched to cup. His face lay graced by touch and then they kissed, Maglor bending in sweet sorrow like to his. Cursed kiss, traitor's comfort, they saw the dawn and parted.
