	Your words are true. What has made you feel so old? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The world we know is gone and faded into myth. We are...anachronisms of an ancient world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aye we are. Our lives have become obsolete and our days redundant. But there is hope yet, brother, for different days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is there, brother? For I see it not. This is a world of men. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-03-12 03:11 am UTC (link)
	Aye it is, but it was always fated to be so. We are meant to be in the Undying Lands in this age. But we are here and we must go on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am a Prince of the Eldar. I do not know how to be anything else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are our king. Even if it should be of a small people here. We might leave our legacy on this realm, brother, that they might remember us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-03-12 03:19 am UTC (link)
	And yet you, I think, would be a better king. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-03-12 03:23 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps. I know not. But here you are my sovereign king and I shall always think of you as such. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-03-12 03:24 am UTC (link)
	You have a far better rapport with the mortals than do I. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-03-12 03:30 am UTC (link)
	Of that I have no doubt. You dealt well with the House of Húrin. I know not why it is so difficult for you to deal well with men now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-03-12 03:31 am UTC (link)
	The House of Húrin had not forgotten respect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It must be earned. The Eldar of your kingdom taught them many things. We might teach them things here and now, of wisdom. For surely their civilization is well beyond one we might fix. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-03-12 03:35 am UTC (link)
	They will not listen, brother. They are proud and self-important, as perhaps we were in our youth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Many of them are! I don't deny it. To their folly. But some might listen, and some might learn. One by one. We cannot hope to change the hearts and minds of men overnight.

It would be too easy a task if that were the case. When they look upon us they look upon the light and life of the Eldar. And their having looked upon us at all heightens them.

It is only that they do not yet understand the significance.

	Perhaps your grandson could do better with them. He seems very fond of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-03-12 03:41 am UTC (link)
	Aye, where it not for his grace I would think him one of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-03-12 03:42 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps you should remind him that he is not, before he embarrasses us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-03-12 03:45 am UTC (link)
	Fault him not, he is young in wisdom if old in age. I teach him what I can when I am able. Better that he is happy than worried if he displeases me. But I say to you now, he is my charge and therefore my responsibility and if he should do something to embarrass or displease you then his shame shall fall upon me also. I will accept it.

	Do I...embarrass you, grandfather? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turukáno \| Eärendil turukano 2013-03-12 03:51 am UTC (link)
	Aiya Eärendil! Nay, nay. Think not of it. You don't embarrass me at all. If anything I am curious by your behaviors. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Turukáno \| Eärendil the_mariner 2013-03-12 03:52 am UTC (link)
	I do not wish to bring shame on my family. Or to dishonor my father or my lady mother. I have never wanted this. My behaviors? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Do not trouble yourself with the counsels of men who think themselves wiser than you. You bring no dishonor or shame. But if you should then we would handle it with grace no matter.

Aye if I should bring dishonor then I would ask you stand in defense of me.

You are young, though your age is nearly three times that my own. You are very like your father and I find it highly curious. It isn't a bad thing.

	Nay, the comparison with my revered father warms my heart. Is it because...of my friendship with the Men here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turukáno \| Eärendil turukano 2013-03-12 04:03 am UTC (link)
	Nay! That is a good thing about you. We cannot set ourselves apart from them always. Your father was a Man and I shall never begrudge him or you that. There is no shame to it. You do well with them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
