If only you could talk to father. I think he understood more than even I can. Perhaps someday. [Perhaps when they all are home and Fingolfin has come out of the halls. Though Fingon hopes he is already out, if only for the sake of his mother.] I cannot say I will stop you, though if we shove them into places we really wish to we may start a war on a second front.

Yes. This is not a selfishness that we should fear. It is a small thing to the world, even though it is everything to us.

[Haldamir calls out softly from the door flap and then comes in, dragging the bath with one hand. It was metal, ornately decorated and quite large. Suitable for one of two of their overly tall people, so easily big enough for Maedhros to relax in.] I will bring in the water myself as well so you two are not disturbed. [Says he, before leaving again. He will return repeatedly bringing buckets of water and emptying them in the tub. Fingon thanks him but does not try to move to help for once. He is helping as much as he can by being so close to Maedhros and keeping him safe.]
