Oh, noooo... I don't like where this is going! Just when Eressetor seemed set to have a rather nice and fulfilled life as the lover of the shiny Fëanáro, things start going wrong in this uneasy exiled family. :-(
Feanor... I don't even know what to think about him anymore. On the one hand, that leaving love notes in Eressetor's books thing is adorable. On the other hand, he just seems so insincere about all of it sometimes. Like he's just using Eressetor as a handy willing body, and if/when Nerdanel comes back into the picture, all of his affection for Eressetor will be proven false. BUT, I'm going to keep up hope that Feanor is true, because of that lovely fireplace scene a few chapters ago that Eressetor totally did not dream at all. :-D
I've said it before and no doubt I'll say it again for the rest of the chapters: poor, poor Eressetor. I don't know if he could ever be truly happy with any lover, let alone someone as beautiful and "perfect" as Feanor, because of his terrible self-esteem and his really screwed-up ideas of what it means to be lovable. And those dark thoughts of his... poor guy. He needs some serious counselling.
Now, Telvo. He's continuously surprising me with the new aspects to his character. Dispite being the youngest of the brothers (and in the earliest chapters, he definitely acted like it), he's so utterly wise, patient, and absolutely sweet. But does he honestly believe that Nerdanel will come back to them and that their family can be patched up so neatly, just like that? And Maedhros, too? That surprises me, especially now that we know the story of how Nerdanel did not come with them to Formenos. Maybe they just refuse to accept that their mother could abandon them like that, and cling to this idea because they can't believe anything else.
My next words were difficult to summon and came in a near-whisper: “Do you—do you think that he still loves her?” and Maitimo smiled. “Of course he still loves her. He could love no other.”
... Waaaaah! What a crushing blow to a poor Eressetor's heart (and to mine, because I sekritly love Eressetor, but don't tell him that, please).
