Namo helped guiding the souls to their respective places until the entrance was empty again. As he prepared himself to go to Manwe, he called Feanecestel.

"Thank you, your contribution is much appreciated." He let out a soft sigh. "I shall now go to Manwe Sulimo and share thoughts and advice. I shall leave the Halls with you. Vaire and Nienna are close by, should you need more help until my return."

That said, he bowed and left the Halls.

He was surprised, one could say in shock, as much shock a Vala could feel. This was unprecedented and whilst he might have opinions, he could not just apply judgement arbitrarily.

He would listen to the rest of the Host and proceed from there.

starter for @namoinmandos | Namo and Fëanecestel

"Lord Namo," Fëanecestel greeted their vala, the outlines of their form looked like it was giving off a fine black mist of smoke, as if they were slowly turning into smoke. Their only show of grief in such a horrific tragedy.

"This One has too many souls to bring to the Halls, most resist This One's guidance," they said, referring the the recently deceased in Alqualonde. "This One needs assistance."

Kinslaying. It was a new word they had learned today, one that they didn't like. It felt like ash in their mouth.

do you remember what i told you last time?

have you been doing well since i saw you?

that's not what you told me back then.

when was the last time i saw you?

you were shorter then.

i'm picking the restaurant this time.

we've known each other since we were children.

always knew i could count on you.

that time was different. this is worse.

you're not going to let me live that down, are you?

i seem to remember a conversation we had back then.

so you changed your mind about it?

do you remember our encounter in paris?

you should know me by now.

am i the only one that knows the truth?

we had a lot of help back then.

your mom told me to look out for you.

you just love bringing that back up to annoy me.

maybe don't mention my past indescretions?

this was never going to work out between us.

i told you not to get attached.

i know more about you than you think.

i was there, remember?

i'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.

you told me you were going to try and make this work.

remember what i said to you?

the last time i saw you, things were good between us.

you never mentioned this before.

that was the longest flight of my life, and you made it worse.

can i still trust you after all that?

at least we tried to make something work.

we never discussed what happened between us.

okay, but i'm driving the car this time.

i haven't forgotten what you said last week.

i'm still thinking about your comment.

i didn't realize it was you when i first saw you.

you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.

there's not much for us to talk about.

we worked it out last time.

i know you far better than you know yourself.

we have a long history.

is that the shirt you were wearing last time?

what don't i know about you?

i haven't told them about us.

you were the only person i could go to.

you know me.

this is bigger than both of us.

i can't stand your driving.

are you taking me to the place we had dinner last time?

that's not at all what you said.

didn't we agree on that?

i thought i made it very clear where i stand.

are these the same people that came after you last time?

are you still going on about it?

can we talk about it?

staying silent about it won't help.

you're the only person who knows the real me.

this is a bad time to talk about your problems.

❝ you occupy my thoughts. day and night, even in dreams you're there. i want you to never stop haunting me. ❞

❝ i am eternally yours. until the stars go out. and maybe, even after that. ❞

❝ my heart bleeds the color of your soul. i would cut it out and put it in your palms if i could. ❞

❝ it's like you have knit yourself around my ribs. i could no more cut you out than i could remove my own lungs. ❞

❝ you are woven into my soul and i dare not cut a single thread. ❞

❝ i am yours, body and soul, to do with as you wish. ❞

❝ i don't require you to love me back, or to care for me as i do you. only let me be here, let me devote myself to you. that would be enough. ❞

❝ i want to trap your smile in a bottle and take it out when no one else can see. ❞

❝ you belong to me and i to you. ❞

❝ do not look away from me. i cannot bear it when i do not occupy your vision. ❞

❝ i will follow you. to the ends of the earth, to the very gates of hades and whatever might lay beyond. ❞

❝ i will always be here. no matter how far you go you can always come home to me. ❞

❝ tell me all the places you have been hurt, every rejection, every scar. let me love you in all the places where you have burned. ❞

❝ i will not ever let you go. ❞

❝ you cannot escape this. you cannot run away from the love we share. ❞

❝ what we have is deeper than words could capture. ❞

❝ i will be anything you desire. i pluck out the parts of me you find distasteful and stuff your love in the craters left behind. ❞

❝ tell me what you wish of me and i will do it. ❞

❝ i could spend all day merely watching the air in your lung. i would count every blink. i would cherish every sigh from your lips. i could watch you merely exist for the rest of my life. ❞

❝ don't let go of me. i think if you lost me i would die. ❞

❝ i will cut out the tongues of every man who has wronged you. ❞

❝ i wish i could crawl inside you and make a home out of the hollows of your bones. ❞

Namo thought about Mairon's request. Chaining him seemed cruel - but he had to admit he had to think of something. The rest of the Host would be a lot less merciful and they would take Mairon's offer to be chained in a heartbeat.

And yet he had gotten to know, if even a tiny bit, Mairon. He had seen a speckle of goodness in him. And if no one was hopeless, then Mairon too was not hopeless.

"Perhaps. Or perhaps there will be a different way than , but I will ponder on it and talk with the rest of the host. But we will sort out something."

He watched as Mairon went back to the desk. He smiled. "You are a true hard-worker, Mairon. Everyone should appreciate this. I shal be back later. Please do make sure you rest."

With that said, he bowed. "I shall come back to see if you require anything."

And he left the room.

Namo let Mairon cry on him. There was no ill intent there, and perhaps it was a sign that something good was stirring in the Maia. He gently pressed a hand on his back, letting him calm down.

It was entirely possible that he had been holding in all of these emotions for the sake of a façade. "Perhaps, Mairon, it would be truly beneficial that you'll be there too. However."

Namo made a pause. He did not wish to worry Sauron, but at the same time he had to prepare him for all possible outcomes. "There is a not indifferent chance that he will think that you too have abandoned him, as you would possibly be with the rest of the Host. We may be unable to sway him. You might be unable too. The possibility of this is low, but not insigniicant. Will you be ready for any outcome? Will you be strong enough to bear the consequences, however they will be?"

Namo could not conceal worry for both Sauron and Melkor. "You will have to be strong in your heart and mind."

Namo could not conceal worry for both Sauron and Melkor. "You will have to be strong in your heart and mind."

Namo thought of the request, closing his eyes for a moment. He then sipped tea from his own cup. Would Manwe and the entire Host consider granting Sauron's presence on that occasion? He felt unsure, but still. Sauron seemed to slowly and gradually demonstrate true willingness to change. Perhaps his presence would be beneficial in swaying Melkor towards goodness.

"I shall enquire for you, Mairon. Perhaps your presence might help his case." He simply said, as he studied carefully the minute and yet great changes in his demeanor. He was aware of Mairon's love. He hoped that Melkor shared a similar sentiment, so that theymight reach a peaceful verdict.

"I merely execute my duty. Although I may be judge and executioner, my task is to help everyone find solace and healing. You and Melkor included, Mairon."

He noticed the flicker in Sauron's eyes - determination, perhaps, and something undefined. "Please, do not hesitate in sharing your thoughts. I shall listen."

He offered a metaphorical olive branch. Mairon definitely seemed full of rage, and grief, and loss. If anything, perhaps talking would be the right thing to do.

Namo shook his head. "No need to rush them though. Have some rest." He gestured him to join the table and gently pushed a cup full of tea towards him.

"You have kindly offered your services, however you are a guest here. There are no bars and there is no leash to hold you." He reassured Mairon. He was aware that everyone had doubts, but if he had decided to trust the fallen Maia, then he had to be coherent with himself first and foremost. "You are free to rest, should you wish to."

He clasped his hands on his lap, looking down for a moment. "I have no update on your plea, however, Manwe has received it safely and is reviewing it. I have added some positive notes about you. I do not know when I will receive the response, but I will update you."

He tilted his head slightly, pondering. After a short pause, he elected that he could tell Mairon this. "As for your Master, whilst still imprisoned, he has been granted a suspension of judgement. He seems to have expressed some willingness, however his rage is strong, and will require time. But no harm will be done to him until full judgement has been delivered."

[namoinmandos]

Namo held Rossiel. She truly was struggling with her own feelings. Incarnates seemed to have that quite a lot. He smiled.

"In spite of what you may be led to believe, we love the children of Iluvatar dearly. We may act upon acts that may be blasphemous, but we would not act without a reason. And we have no reason to hurt you. So you may sail, and live peacefully in Aman without fear or doubt."

Namo nodded again, patiently. "Then you have only one path ahead of you, child." He offered Rossiel a comorting hand on the shoulder. "You have to let go of these feelings, as they are only a burden."

His words may have sounded a bit definitive, but his intent had been the one to push Rossiel to a better place. Only then could she move on. "I shall offer you freedom to speak of your feelings and dry your tears. You shall find the strength within you."

[namoinmandos]

Namo shook his head. "No need to rush them though. Have some rest." He gestured him to join the table and gently pushed a cup full of tea towards him.

He seems to have expressed some willingness, however his rage is strong, and will require time. But no harm will be done to him until full judgement has been delivered."

Namo let out a soft sigh - yes, Sauron would stay there, whether he wanted or not. He did not mind it, as long as he would stay on the right path.

He would not impose on him, and yet he felt that the Maia had all the intentions of staying and helping. Whether it was something done for interest in swaying his judgement or something out of the goodness of his core, Namo would not inquire at the moment.

He pondered, however.

He noticed Sauron step closer - it was probably something he was used to do. Perhaps Sauron needed something, some enrichment. Perhaps he could indeed give him something to do. Was this against his own better judgement? Possibly, but he had also chosen to give him a second chance.

He produced some documentation. "Very well. If I may impose on you, whilst you wait for an answer, you may tidy up these records. I shall give you trust, in the hopes that this will help uphold your cause."

[namoinmandos]

Namo had left Sauron with the stack of papers - perhaps he had given him way too much, but he had not expected him to take on the task all at once.

In the meantime, he had had to discuss the situation at hand, and a lot of them, both Maia, and Valar, and souls were not exactly thrilled about Sauron's presence. He had quelled everyone, sort of challenging his perception as well.

And whilst no one would say anthing, the elephant in the room would need to be addressed properly and he hoped things would have progressed positively by then.

He quietly stepped into the hall where Sauron was tidying up the paperwork - and smiled at the sight of the little fire figures. HE quietly placed a cup of tea next to him - perhaps showing kindness was the right thing to do.

"You are very conscentious, Mairon. I have to commend you."

Namo let out a soft sigh - yes, Sauron would stay there, whether he wanted or not. He did not mind it, as long as he would stay on the right path.

He would not impose on him, and yet he felt that the Maia had all the intentions of staying and helping. Whether it was something done for interest in swaying his judgement or something out of the goodness of his core, Namo would not inquire at the moment.
