“How like you they are, Ardamirë.”
Eärendil frowned. “What mean you, Laurefindil?” he challenged. He had invited Glorfindel aboard as Vingilótë sailed on the anniversary of Ondolindë’s destruction, and risked covering the Silmaril, sailing nearer to Annúminas.

“May you have long life and reign well, my son,” Eärendil whispered.
