She was wise not to, but I do not think she was afraid. Only cautious.
[ Caranthir shrugs a little - after all, he did not speak of her either, after, and it makes this hard, almost painful, to search for the words to talk about her now. But these are his children, and they deserve that much ]
I found your mother fiery and strong, the only person outside of my brothers and closest advisors who was neither intimidated nor servile towards me. She was not beautiful the way most elves think of beauty. But she was always strong. I enjoyed arguing with her - she was never careless in her arguments but always gave good reasoning for them. We were never formally plighted.
