If Túrin heeds Sador’s warning and leaves, Aerin and her kin are still left indefinitely in this horrific situation. If he tries to talk to Aerin quietly and they’re caught, she’ll be punished and the same kind of situation might escalate. Aerin is clearly exhausted and physically affected by the years of abuse she’s endured and she tells Túrin she will die in the wild if she goes with him. It is possible that the events in Brodda’s hall exacerbated her condition from the extraordinary stress and shock but even if that weren’t the case, something would have gone wrong.<br/>There’s just no good outcome for Aerin and it’s so upsetting. And none of that knowledge makes Túrin’s cruelty and callousness towards her any easier to stomach<br/><br/><a href="https://outofangband.tumblr.com/post/831749543525744640">https://outofangband.tumblr.com/post/831749543525744640</a><br/><br/>#hurinnothing #heedssador #turinheeds #endingwell #children #aerin #anyone #like #know #brodda<br/><br/>#rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit 2026-10-28T21:15:50Z
