Summary
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw of this strange new place was you. Not the pastel sky, nor the water I could hear breaking against the shore, but you: your golden eyes, softened by the years and nestled in wrinkles that seemed chiseled from the fine stone of your visage; your hair, silver streaks at your temples, cascading waves drawn back with a simple tie; and your mouth, your smiling mouth, the corners only barely daring to lift as you stared back at me.
In Aubade, they’re reunited. Slowly, softly, they try again.

Summary
“There are... things I don't know how to say,” he admits, uncomfortably aware of how true this is. Cara taps her fist upon his knee, shaking her head indulgently.
“There is only so much I can guess, buddy,” she replies softly, all irritation gone from her face. “And this thing doesn't really help,” she adds, touching two fingers in the middle of his visor.
“You know what I mean, right?” she asks, head tipped to one side. “A lot of stuff can be conveyed by exchanging a look, but if two people can't look each other in the eye, some things just need to be spoken.”
Din feels helpless. He can fight warriors, mudhorns, mechs, but when it comes to put himself into words he stumbles—falls, most of the times. And when these black eyes are staring at him so intensely, his helplessness degenerates into sheer panic. It's too much—what he has inside, what Cara makes him feel. It's powerful and inescapable, like the warm flame the child has ignited inside him, but the child doesn't need words, doesn't need complicated explanations.
“Is it too late?” Din inquires, just a shy whisper that almost doesn't make it past his lips.
“For what?”
“To speak.”Series

Summary
It is as if Melkor can see backwards through time, tracking each subtle change in Mairon, each circumstance and twist of fate that have moulded them into the people standing here today, sharing this moment.
Mairon is not the same person who knelt before his throne all those years ago and vowed to serve him. Melkor is not the same person who accepted that vow.
Melkor and Mairon have built a new life for themselves in Arda Healed. It is a life of peace, a life where they can be together without any wars to fight or empires to rule. But peace does not always equal happiness, and as the months wear on, Melkor comes to understand that some of Mairon’s wounds need more than just time to heal.

He feels stupid for even bringing it up and Hitoshi probably won’t want to hang around him now that he knows. Maybe he can say it was a joke but that doesn’t sit right with him.
