"Reckless? Reckless!" I'll be the judge of what is reckless, and what is prudent. If you want your people to be safe from the prying eye of Sauron, I would suggest you follow orders."
"It is a sad necessity," Khelek replied quietly so that none could hear.
Elves kept the memory of the Kinslayings at bay. He supposed Men did the same with the folly of Ar-Pharazon and the Fall of Numenor. The Elf's sharp ears had heard Ancalimon's murmer. What exactly had he meant by that? True, things unbidden could befall them, but it was quite unlikely Ar-Pharazon would have any major forces guarding the tombs. After all, he was going to war with the Vala. And he highly doubted any of the Elendili would be tarrying there. Many of them would have heeded Elendil's words and be waiting on the eastern shore, nearest to Middle-earth. Many questions were still unanswered.
Mithadan left, for his cabin, still within his dark thoughts. Rose was staring at his back, dumbstruck at the way Mithadan had reacted as Child went after him.
