   Summary

   “Maedhros,” said Earendil, “if I ever again see you choose to let someone strike you in the guise of a sparring accident, then I will bench you from the next Void monster fight.”

   Or, in which Earendil wants his friend and co-parent to stop letting people hit him. And in which Maedhros wants Earendil to stop interfering in what would otherwise be 'successful exercises in interpersonal diplomacy.'
