'I thank you once again, Player, for helping me to learn what I might have learned long ago: as happiness is a part of the world, so too is sadness. Seeking to avoid it can delay the pain, but it does not destroy it. There should be no shame in tears.
'I will travel to the Grey Havens with my own sadness, and I will bear it over the Sea. But so too will I bring my memories of the happy times. I will not weigh one against the other, but carry both. And in years to come, perhaps Maddoc and Glenys and young Bran will look upon this second painting, and there will be days they wish to cry, and there will be days they think to smile. It may have been among the last friendships I made in this Middle-earth, Player, but it will be a lasting one. And so too will mine with you!'
Ravaedron laughs, a brighter and more contented sound than you have yet heard from the Elf.
'The Stagshorns have invited you inside to see where they will set the painting, my friend. And now I say good-bye.'1/1

'I always believed Elves were supposed to be wiser than the rest of us, Player, but then my wife and I met Ravaedron! He is dear to us and we will cherish the time we spent with him, but I tell you truly that sometimes he could be more maddening than our Bran was when he was just a baby!
'Folk are complicated, I suppose, and in that at least the Elves are the same as the rest of us. Thank you for helping the three of us, Player. You are welcome at Fernbrake Cot any time.'1/1
