"If you seek Vanyel Ashkevron, you have found him."

[Glorfindel is a happy bundle of light, a big smile upon his face and he's just going to be direct, no sense beating around the bush.]

Maglor has agreed to teach you!

He...did? [This is real. His heart pounds and his stomach clenches nervously.] How did he react?

He did! He is an elf of few words but I know he thinks highly of your abilities.

[It's not bad to stretch the truth, right? Valar forgive him but it's for a good cause at least.]

I know he will be a good teacher and friend to you.

Now you are trying to encourage me. [He appreciates the effort - it's just a little transparent.] I don't wish for him to feel forced.

[His attempts at being sneaky always fail.]

He would not have agreed if he did not wish to do it, Vanyel. But I believe this will do him good as well.

And if you are wrong? [Not that he would intentionally be a bother, but...]

I am not wrong. You may trust me on this, Vanyel, Maglor tends to express himself through his music more than words.

It's no wonder his music is so moving, then. [To put your soul into something... How can it not be remarkable on some level.]

It is, I love to listen to it when I can. He puts all that he is into it.

Perhaps I can coax him to perform?

That would be lovely! I would be most honored to hear you both.

A student should do more listening than performing.

But when you do get to perform, I will be happy to hear you both!

You have been very kind. I wouldn't mind playing one of your favorite songs if you can recall the tune?

[Glorfindel is a little emotional for a moment, to hear a song from Gondolin once more would be more than he ever thought possible.]

That would be amazing, there are some old songs of a home long gone I have not heard from a master bard in such a long time but I can recall them all.

[Music is precious. Vanyel can mark specific points of his life by which songs he favored. Or pretended to favor.]

If you can write them down or simply sing me the tune, I can practice them. [He bites his lip.] I am not a Master Bard, however. Unless you wish to hear Maglor instead?

I will write down a couple of special songs, I could never do them justice.

And I am sure you are a master compared to me and I would be most honored if you would play these songs. They are...special.

I will give them my best effort. [He is wondering if he can carve his own instrument? There is plenty of wood available and he knows his lutes inside and out.] It will be nice to learn new songs.

I will write down the songs for you now then!

Please do. I will pick them up from you when you are ready.

Come by in a couple days, I will have it ready then.
