(The sound of harp-strings begins the transmission. Each note is pure, ringing in the air long after the string has been plucked. After a moment or two, the song ends and the player - Celebrimbor - sighs.)

Do you believe language has the ability to heal beyond simple comfort? If so, could song be a stronger healer still?

Not my music, of course, but...others. Masters of the craft. (Like his uncle.) As a child, songs chased away my nightmares. Why should adults be so different? I think it is because we do not listen as well.

Are you free?

Music's always helped me in the same way. It's never, like, healed any physical wounds but... It does help with the mental ones at least.

I wish more people took it seriously when I say it can help.

The mental and emotional ones are the wounds of which I speak. They seem to scab over - only to open again when I am reminded of them or what caused them.

(His voice gentles.) I take you seriously.

Yeah, people say time heals all wounds but... I don't know about that. It's been decades for some of mine and they still re-open when I seem to least expect 'em to.

I'm glad someone does, at least. I've gotten used to it but music means a lot to me, so- Always nice to meet fellow musicians who appreciate it same as I do.

(( ooc: heyo! i'm on hiatus until probably mid-april due to life stuff so i will still be painfully slow if you'd rather drop/handwave this and start something new when I get back lmk!!! ))
