I mean far be it from me to cause more
drama in this family full of
pretentious princes but I think I
could solve our cash flow
problem if you lot would STOP
KILLING MY BUSINESS PARTNERS.

- Morifinwë ‘Caranthir’ Carnistir, to his brothers, cousins, and assorted followers, the Silmarillion, on more than one occasion.

"I hope it will be very long." He flushes a bit harder, but reaches up to run fond fingers through her hair.

"I have done everything I could." He agrees. "And I think it will serve you well"

[canien]

She leans into the affection, grin softening to a smile. "I have learned caution." Whether she always employs it is another thing entirely.

"It will." She has her parents' stubbornness, and their creativity. "I will make my own path from here on."

[grumpycatanthir]

"Caution, and wisdom, and as much sense as we could teach you." He agrees.

He holds her close and promises himself that no matter what, he'll remember this moment, another jewel amongst all his memories of her.

"Yours will be a brilliant path."

[canien]

She chuckles softly, tucking herself close. She'll never forget her father's love and kindness, even in these last days.

"It will be a long one." She'll just...keep going. Wherever she thinks she can do good.

"It had better be!" He mock huffs at her, but the underlying worry is real.

"After all your mother and I did to make it so!"

[canien]

She leans up to kiss his cheek at the worry.

"If, in some distant future, if there is a way, would you ever want me to Sail and see what once was your home?" She doesn't expect to have that option, but she wants to know his thoughts. And to offer reassurance that she plans to live a very long life.

[grumpycatanthir]

He considers that for a while.

"Mother would like to see you." He says eventually. "It might comfort her, I think. But only if you ever want to go."

There's nothing in Aman for his wild and restless daughter except a grandmother she has never known - he will not ask that of her. But if she ever goes...

"If the choice is open, and if you want to go, my mother will welcome you."
