But if of ships I now should sing, what ship would come to me, 
What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?

After Alqualondë, Artanis looks only forward. There is no returning.  Not even the curse and prophecy spoken by the dark figure standing high upon a rock could compel her to retrace her steps in sorrow.  Neither the betrayal and abandonment by the faithless Fëanáro and his sons, the ships that vanished into the unmeasured night.  She will not turn back, defeated, begging the Valar’s pardon.

Finarfin was always tired, but suddenly he was exhausted, just by this conversation. It would just go in circles if they let it, neither of them willing to concede to the other. He didn’t have the words for what he really wanted to say—and even if he did he wouldn’t say them. They would be a child’s words, just hurt that he had been left alone while his older brothers and sisters had gone off without him, taking everything with them that he had ever held dear. 

Family is complicated, and Finarfin is tired.

The falcon joined her on the second day of watching. And stayed with her, watching her … Galadriel would say surreptitiously, if birds could do more than blankly stare. It was unnerving. The falcon preened its dark feathers occasionally, but otherwise watched the disembarking Elves with the same keen gaze as Galadriel.
Under the moonlight of the third night the falcon shivered, stretched, and shifted to become one who had been thought lost.
