( A quiet clearing of the throat; one can naturally assume it is a very beautiful clearing of the throat, done by a very beautiful man. )

This matter of the phylacteries for rifters… it seems sensible. If they are such a valuable resource to the Inquisition, the closing of rifts, and so on, being able to find said resource if a rival power were to try and overpower them and abscond with them makes sense, I think. For their own safety, for our own safety. If Corypheus and his forces were, for example, to make an attack on a party closing a rift and kidnap those rifters for nefarious purposes, it would be better for all if we were able to find them as quickly as possible. The phylacteries are an established way of doing just this, no?

By all means, if you wish to see the world end, protest. Even if this is not your world, though, I think we can all agree that you are currently in it. It’s fate is not entirely irrelevant to you.

Private to Artanis.

You have my support. I will not be chained and tracked. Never again.

Private.

I require no support in this, Maedhros, for it is not a discussion, though your opinion is worth note. For the moment, I seek only to understand what their ends will be, should they be pressed.

I expect, should they choose force, your reaction would be much similar to my own.

Unfortunately, neither of us need assistance with slaughter.

Private.

Nonetheless. (He does not retract his feelings.)

You can hold your own; it is not your well-being that concerns me. Our rights - as free, independent beings - are what is being infringed upon and I will not have it. I leave the diplomacy for you and perhaps King Thranduil.

[laurenande]

If they wish for volunteers, I shall not stop them. If they desire another way to find those who are lost, I could assist them....

But if they level accusations at me as they did before my arrest, I will offer nothing.

[castintoflames]

You can sense far more than they can dream of knowing. I will encourage them to make an ally of you.

(A storm of emotion darkens his features.)

Nor should you.
