Summary
“Do you feel yourself unwanted here?” said Melian, with what seemed to be genuine dismay. “I have heard only delight at your having chosen to stay.”
“Unwanted may be too strong. But uninvited is also hard. Unknown. Misunderstood. And I would have more delight if Eärendil could stay too. He did not choose knowing he would have to leave.”
“The recipients of great doom are rarely its architects,” said Melian. “None of us freely chooses our fate.”
“Lúthien did,” said Elwing.
