This was so beautiful but also so very sad - the reference to being cautious when dealing with the wounded and terrified!  Oh if only Beled had seen that more clearly.   Poor Gwindor.  ((hugs both tight))

Thank you! I've thought so hard about this, and I can only think that Beleg's love for Túrin meant that he couldn't bear to see him in fetters, so he just rushed in to free him the moment he could, without any of the caution he'd have used with anyone else. :( 

However...my ideas for Chapter 2 are evolving, and there may yet be hope, where there was none...
