[And he'll only agree that Gadriel is basicaly a toddler and so nothing he says on the matter should be taken seriously.] War is a bloody mire where hope goes to die. War is desperation and starvation and the despoiling of the very land it is fought upon. Sometimes it's the only option left to you to prevent greater horrors, but it is not a thing one should venerate.

Mayhaps. I likely would not have been able to change anything had I been there, but he was my grandfather and my king and he should not have had to die alone. [Finwe had deserved better than that and even though Maedhros had had no reason to believe he was in danger back then he'll always consider it a failure on his part that he was not there.] I do understand it. It is just likely we do not exactly agree upon what it means. Different worlds and cultures does tend to color the way we view these things.

[It might do him well to be a little bit wary of a pissed of elf wielding a sword. Especially one that was as effective a killer as Maedhros was. But as long as he kept from doing anything stupid it was a moot point.] Since the end of summer. Barely even the blink of an eye the way my people would see it. [Who said he'd learnt nothing? But see if he'd tell you anything he has learned with that kind of attitude.]
