"My Lord--" Gorlim swallows, takes a deep breath, and fingers the ring in his hand. "For the sake of my father and my child, I will accept the forgiveness of your people and remain ever grateful for it. I.. I can offer nothing in return but swear that I shall compose a song in your honor, and try to live so as to deserve what faith you have in me."

"Live as you will, Gorlim. I did not do this to make you do anything. Be as you are and will be. The world and time will judge you. I for one, am doen with such duties."

he smiles slightly yet again.

"Now, tell em of this daughter."

For children are ever the joy of Elves.

"My daughter is Kelly," he says, beginning to warm up a bit due to the subject. He slips the ring onto his finger and holds it to his breast with his eyes half-closed and distant. "She is just over three months old. Living, too. Lord Mandos brought her to us from the moment before her death and bound her soul to the realm of the lviing until she die from natural age or be killed in violence. A natural life, and she will be unBound when she grows older, I think." He looks up at the Elf through glimmering eyes. "She'll be able to find her Home."

And Elrond listens as he recalls his own daughter, so long ago.

"Indeed? Then, when she is of an age, send her to me, an I be here, still, and I will give her my word. With which, an she wish it, she shall have safe passage wheerever my laws and allies still hold sway upon Ea."

Gorlim beams at him.

"You are more generous to me than I can understand, Lord Elrond. And I thank you, for myself and for my family." He pauses, fidgeting. "Would you care to see her?"

he shakes his ehad.

"I am merely as I am."

Then he shakes it again.

"Not tonight I think, but another night, if you will."

Elrond gives Gorlim a bow.

"I hope your evening and Yule will go well, Gorlim."

"I thank you again, my lord," he murmurs, his eyes on the floor and shoulders turned inwards humbly.

Elrond moves away, and shakes his head. Hopefully soemdfay Gorlim will find his own soul's heart.
