You are a child as well, and both of you do as children do.
It's very strange.
My brother Maglor, he is the first of the six that follow me, and very sensitive in nature. He hears music in all things, and despairs when that music is ended. Death is a not a thing we knew at the time, save for in animals and plants, and he begged me not to kill the fowl as he couldn't stomach the music of the dying. I asked him to show me what he meant and so he played what he heard, on his harp.
It was a tragic sound, and I couldn't bear to hurt him further.
