(This is ridiculously overdue, but Maedhros has had to come to grips with how he acted and his return to health. Besides that, he is, well, embarrassed.)
Lady Galadriel,
Your forgiveness is sought; it has not been earned - yet - and I only ask that you keep an open-mind. The Elves of Arda are not accustomed to illness and it struck me hard. (I assure you that blue skin is not attractive in the least when paired with copper hair.)
I am sorry, cousin, for my poor, atrocious behavior. What I said may as well have come from my father's lips for I believe I was channeling him. The first-born does not fall far from the tree. However I seek to do better - to be better - and avoiding you, while tempting, will not heal any wounds.
I await your response eagerly - yet nervously - and hope, truly, that you have not suffered the same illness as I did.
(Letter)
Lady Galadriel,
Your forgiveness is sought; it has not been earned - yet - and I only ask that you keep an open-mind. The Elves of Arda are not accustomed to illness and it struck me hard. (I assure you that blue skin is not attractive in the least when paired with copper hair.)
I am sorry, cousin, for my poor, atrocious behavior. What I said may as well have come from my father's lips for I believe I was channeling him. The first-born does not fall far from the tree. However I seek to do better - to be better - and avoiding you, while tempting, will not heal any wounds.
I await your response eagerly - yet nervously - and hope, truly, that you have not suffered the same illness as I did.
Signed,
Maedhros
