- Eventually, Daeron manages to move on from his sad pining songs and sad pining wandering, more or less.
- No one can actually mope forever, can they?
- I mean, he gave it a damn good shot, but. Even an immortal being has got to take a step back from themselves eventually, and go ‘okay yeah this is getting a bit ridiculous,’ right? …… right??
- He’s still maybe wandering and singing, just not so much in the wilds. Slowly reintegrating himself back into society.
- And then he hears that the children of Luthien’s line live in the hidden valley of Imladris.
- So one day he just kind of shows up out of nowhere, introduces himself as Lindir (it’s literally just ‘singing man,’ which seems embarrassingly apt when it comes to Elven ingenuity re: false names), and has been living there ever since.
- Just chillin’. Playing his music. Don’t make it weird.
- But lbr, he was totally the one responsible for starting the rumour that Arwen = Luthien’s very likeness, returned once more.
- (Dammit Daeron, you went and made it weird)
- Elrond knows who he is, because the first time Galadriel came to Imladris after his arrival, she recognized him on the spot and made him aware of it. ‘Lindir’ does not know that Elrond knows this.
- ‘Lindir’ does not in fact know that Elrond’s whole family knows this.
- He would probably have an easier time of it if he did.
- At least a few things would make more sense, anyway.
- This is mainly because the kids (+ Celebrian) have made an incredibly infuriating habit of praising ‘Lindir’s’ musical talent by telling him, with utmost earnestness, that he’s so skilled he’s surely almost as good as Daeron himself ever was.
- He twitches a lot when they do this.
- He hasn’t broken and blurted out the truth yet, but that could certainly change given the right incentive.
- By which I mean: to no one’s surprise, the twins immediately turned it into a competition.
- So far, Arwen is winning, though her brothers claim she has an unfair advantage.
