As he sails over Imladris, he leans out. Today, the night is clear. Far below, Elrond steps out onto a starlit terrace and raises his arm in a sketchy wave. He started waving like this--when the evening star is visible and there are no witnesses below—a short time after Elros left and has continued ever since: awkward and stubborn, the gesture of someone who does not know if he is seen.
‘But I see you, Elrond, I see you clearly,’ murmurs Earendil.
Below, Elrond shrugs and enters his house—the inside of which his father will never see.
