Stay away from my son.

Arafinwë does not speak the words, but Laurefindil knows that this is what he wants to say. The rumors about him have become more persistent.

Findaráto is more cautious than he is. Laurefindil thinks that if his father has not overcome his prejudices out of love for his son, then talking with his son's lover will not cure him either. Still, he smiles at Arafinwë, bows courteously – and Arafinwë turns his head and leaves.

“I have heard of you, Laurefindil.” Findaráto's mother comes closer. She does not leave, but instead takes his hand.
