You say that as if it's the worst indignity you can suffer... which makes me think maybe you had a somewhat privileged and sheltered life after all. [Compared to Angband this, for all that he wasn't exactly jumping for joy for it, was nothing.] It's annoying, I'll grant you, but at least it's not as bad as it could be.

[Maedhros narrows his eyes suspisciously at Gadriel.] That would depend on what you mean by 'betray' and 'vengeance' specificaly. I'd personally not take to kindly to you running around murdering the people here for minor infractions... or without trying to deal with things in a non-violent way at first.
