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.

She swallows past a sudden lump in her throat when suddenly her father is right there. Protecting her, as always. Even in death, now.

Her doing?

Maybe. She knows they have a bond strong enough.

Namo's eyeing them both, and she glares right back at him. Daring him to deny her father his rights, even now. But finally, the Vala steps away and invites them with a gesture to a perhaps more private place for the scolding she figures she deserves.

Canien makes herself available for her father to lean on if he chooses, looking away from the Vala as if he's...well. Nothing. Unimportant.

He... he's dead? He must be dead.

"Don't... take her away."

He gasps out, swaying back against her support and hating his weakness.

But Namo doesn't Doom him for anything, only beckons them away to another room, a quieter place, where it's just them, and he's so confused

"He won't," she tells him stubbornly. "I won't leave you."

Canien wraps her arms around him, holding him up, and helps him to the private room where they can sink down onto a few cushions and shake from reaction of rather violent deaths.

Namo casts an amused look at them both.

I am not making anyone leave he tells them. That is your choice, peredhel

"What?" Caranthir says, clinging to her in turn, still trying to put himself between her and him.
