Fear and grief in equal measure flooded her chest to near bursting. She would not let it show. Her father and brothers had not returned over the mountains; instead these strangers had come, taking their homes, and making slaves of those who remained.
Standing tall under the invader’s gaze, she refused to feel dirty. His words were unknown but his leer was easy enough to read. She was young still, not of age to marry by her own people’s measure.
Untouched.
There was no courtship, no ceremony, no recourse. Her one solace: she'd never bear him a child.
Chapter End Notes
Neither Aerin's exact relationship to Húrin nor her age are ever given, only that she is his kinswoman by some measure. I have considered she may have been quite young when the Easterlings came to Dor-lomin, and Brodda took her for his wife because she would have not been previously married/widowed.
More subtly implied that either she or someone who remained was able to secretly provide contraceptives.
