Maglor dipped the quill in the red ink and scratched out a line. He didn’t know which version of notation to use to record the melody that had been running through his head since the bonfire a couple of nights ago. Neither one of them was proving adequate and he didn’t want to invent a third just to write down a ditty. Rána whimpered at his feet and Maglor looked at his puppy. “All right, let’s go.”
He took him outside to do his business. While waiting, Maglor frowned at noises drifting on the wind and froze when he realized it was a train of people and horses crossing the narrow bridge over the Bruinen. “Rána!”
The puppy romped over to him. “Inside.” Ready to face Thranduil he was not. And better to let Thranduil approach him on Thranduil’s own terms rather than run into him while tired from traveling.

This is a nice little scene. Maglor's dread of Thranduil is building up so much that I'm almost expecting it to not go nearly as badly as he thinks it will.
Re: (1) Comment by StarSpray for Retreat
Thank you! I honestly have no idea at this point how it will go.

Who better than Maglor to be experimenting with notation?
Nice to see another glimpse of Rana!

Thanks!

Oh dear, another worrisome encounter is looming! I hope Thranduil will be more reasonable than Maglor (or this reader...) expects!

We shall all find out together… me included!
