You have my thanks.

[When they are settled Fingon looks at Margaery for a moment, wondering how best to begin. He has delivered ill-news before to the friends and family of his men, but it has never become easier.]

My cousin Maglor has vanished, my lady. There is no trace of him in the city.

[His head droops just a bit.]

I am sorry. I know he cared for you greatly.

[she nods graciously, keeping up appearances while nerves gnaw at her belly.

she looks back, fearing that her apprehension is writ plain on her face.

when she hears what he says, she shoots up off of the sofa and starts to pace back and forth like a caged animal]

--what? No. No. It can't be. He must be somewhere.

[she pulls out her phone and searches through the contacts, looking for Maglor's name. when she doesn't find it, she tries again as she paces]

And I. . . and I for him. But, [her voice turns pleading] surely there must be a mistake somewhere. He can't be gone. He can't.

Margaery?

[Fingon rises after her, worry written on his face.]

Normally, I would think so- it has been his way to seek some solitude, after all. But I have checked his usual haunts, just to be sure, and he is nowhere to be found in the city. And now that his name has vanished from the phone list, I can draw no other conclusion.

[distractedly] What?

[she continues to pace relentlessly, raking a hand through her hair at intervals, and shaking her head no]

--no! He can't be gone, he wouldn't leave me, he promised to see me safely to Earth and I--and I--no!

You're shaking- do you need a moment?

[He tells her, trying to keep his voice low and soothing. Maglor, he thinks wearily, had a gift for this sort of comforting, and that made it even harder to fill in when his absence was the cause of the grief in question.]

You're right; he would not. Maglor knows what being left behind is like, and he does not make promises he does not mean to keep. If he could fight the whims of the Door, he would still be here.

I---yes. Yes, please.

[she sits down heavily and leans her her elbows against her legs, propping her head onto her hands. she tries to breath, but it's unsteady and she's obviously deeply shaken to her core]

But--but the accursed Door took him anyway! I would destroy it, I would smash it into little pieces if I could! [a pause] But only after I followed him.
