*makes sure everything's calm before going out to clear her head*

*needs to get to the bottom of things*

*is out walking aimlessly*

*stops dead when he sees you* :S

[catprince]

*bows his head*

I have broken my ties to him before the sun rose.

You, of all the Valar, have my respect and reverence.

[_kementari]

*reaches down and holds your chin up, to meet your eyes*

*searches your music for confirmation*

[catprince]

*opens his heart to you, showing his intentions to be true*

[_kementari]

*lets you go, still on her guard*

Speak, then.

[catprince]

Where shall I start?

[_kementari]

Why attack Eonwe when all is at peace? :|

[catprince]

Then I have to start at the beginning.

You know of what happened between Eonwe and Súro. I...

I love Súro. I have for a very long time. I came here, and I saw how much Eonwe hurt him - how close he was to self-destruction. When Eonwe left, I seized upon that opportunity to help Súro heal and regain his own fire. I succeeded, and Súro came to... feel for me.

Then Eonwe came back. Before he turned his thoughts to Ilaya, he disturbed Súro's peace again with threats. Then he manifested near the temple. I went to tell him to leave Súro alone.

He held me down and raped me.

[_kementari]

*says nothing for a long moment*

...

*listens, finally sure you're telling the truth*

*frowns* When did this happen?

[catprince]

Over a month ago. He left soon afterwards.

I talked to Ilaya and showed her all. She... she said she would try to bring him towards the light. She hoped that the child would bring a change in him.

I did my best to help her. I remained calm when Eonwe returned. I reined in both Súro's yearning for vengeance and my own. A week ago...

I only wanted to talk to him. Set things right, put it behind me.

He told me he regretted nothing. He said he does not know the difference between good and evil, and cares nothing for any pain he causes.

My bloodlust was stronger than my will, and it proved my undoing.

*rubs his wrists*

[_kementari]

*somewhat stunned*

I've long suspected my daughter sees something in him... that few others can trust.

*doesn't move but turns away*

My grandson seems to have brought a change in him, that much is evident...

*thinks very, very deeply, brow furrowing*

And now he chooses isolation.

[catprince]

*deep breath*

He talked to Súro. He learned something that...

He feels guilt, for the first time.

[_kementari]

*gives pause*

*frowns* He examines his own actions.

[catprince]

Perhaps there is hope for him...

But he does not see the evil of what he did to me. He thinks I deserved it, for the "evil" of love. He sees no fault in his own actions.

My lady, that is his concept of punishment: torture and rape. I fear. For Ilaya and Talwe as well.

[_kementari]

My daughter is safe. That is one thing I will always ensure. :|

*turns back to you*

Your actions were in retribution, then.

[catprince]

In thoughtlessness.

And I have suffered for them :(
