(His gaze is hard, unyielding; his are the eyes of someone who has seen their end and been haunted by its repercussions. There are scars on his face - he has no way of hiding them - and the tip of one of his pointed ears is missing entirely. But his voice is deep and strong; it resonates in the manner of a King.)

I do not know what good I can offer or why so much power was expended to bring me to this place...

(He takes a breath, pausing for a beat, his stern features relaxing minutely.)

But I thank you. I would not have seen my family otherwise.

(Maedhros is clearly not comfortable being overly demonstrative, so he moves on swiftly, looking thoughtful.)

It was a cursed ring. I think there were- what, nine others?

[That number might ring a bell for some people, so to speak. Still, Nita wishes she actually had those books, if only so she'd know for sure.]

It had some sort of "desire me" charm on it - made people fight over it. And that's one of it's lighter consequences.

[She's still hesitant to mention Sauron, for obvious reasons.]
