"I asked if she could elaborate to me on their conquering, and nearly had my head bitten off. It does not speak well when one cannot even acknowledge their own people's defeat. You and Maglor taught me better! Call a spade a spade - call a kidnapping a kidnapping. You are my foster father, but you were also my jailor. I knew that, I acknowledged it. That's the only way to work through it, that's what I was taught. To act as if it never happened... tch. And worse, to explode at a stranger, simply because I am human? I don't have time for such histrionics. I chose mortality to get away from the politics of immortals. I have no interest in getting embroiled in it here."
