-After Fëanaro's death and Maitimo's abduction (and presumed death), Kanafinwë becomes king regent in his elder brother's place.
-Grieving and worrying for Neylo, Telufinwë continues to hear his twin's voice in his head and wonders if he may be going mad.
-Days later, a messenger orc came to their camp to announce that Neylafinwë still lived and announced Melkor's bargain that if they gave up the Silmarils and forsook the Oath, returning to their lands, they can have their brother back.
-Forsaking the Oath was out of the question for them and, knowing that Melkor would set a trap for them if they tried to attempt a rescue, Makalaurë ordered during their debate that no one will go into Angband.
-Outraged by this decision like some of his brothers, Telvo wants to rescue Maitimo in spite of the orders.
-One night, the youngest son of Fëanaro decides to disobey Makalaurë's orders and tries to sneak out in the middle of the night, but is caught red-handed by Tyelkormo, Carnistir, and Curufinwë, all of whom predicted Telufinwë would be the one to slip out.
-Telvo tries to get around them, but Tyelko alone easily overpowers him, pinning him facedown to the ground before telling the smaller Ellon that he has a long way to go before he can overpower him.
-Telvo argues that he's not surprised Curvo won't try, but is surprised that Tyelko and Carnistir are trying to stop him when they were the ones who insisted on a rescue.
-Curvo tells him that for one, disobeying their brother, who was now High King in Maitimo's absence, would be committing treason; and two, there was no way they were letting Telvo, of all the elves, so much as take another step towards Angband if it meant certain death, even if he hated them for it.
-They drag their youngest brother back to their camp and into the tent where Makalaurë is patiently waiting for them.
-After Makalaurë tells the middle brothers to leave them alone, Telvo gets angry at Kano, not caring if he was committing treason, and accuses him of giving up on Neylo when he could still be alive. Makalaurë lets his little brother rant before sitting him down for a discussion.
-Makalaurë's intentions of ordering his brothers not rescue Neylo are not only for their protection, but for the sake of their people.
-He is willing to bear the burden of forsaking Neylafinwë, resulting in his younger brothers' resentment towards them, if it meant keeping them alive and safe.
-He was also keeping a promise Maitimo had him made, taking place not long after Pityo was burned in the ships and Telvo was sang to unconsciousness in Maitimo's arms by Makalaurë's lullaby.
-Neylo made him promise then and there that if anything happened to himself, as the next eldest brother, Kano's first priority would be to ensure the safety and well-being of their family, most especially their remaining Ambarussa and little Tyelperinquar, the only elfling among them.
-Though it pained him as severely as the recent death of their father, intends to keep that promise.
-After some hesitation, Makalaurë also reveals that the extra spirit that Telvo had regained after losing his twin had come from their father.
-Makalaurë had caught Fëanaro sneaking by his youngest son's side in their tent while everyone else had been asleep.
-At first, he had the irrational fear what Fëanaro had been planning to do and was ready to jump in if he tried anything that would potentially harm Telvo.
-Telvo had still been hovering between life and death at the time, ever since he forcibly stumbled out of Fëanaro's tent to get away and reach Maitimo before passing out from the effort.
-It turned out that Fëanaro had been humming an old lullaby to him and been gradually lending portions of his own fëa, his own strength and energy, to revive Ambarussa.
-On the day that Telvo finally woke up long enough, having gained enough strength to walk around and eat again under some encouragement from Maitimo, Makalaurë went to confront their father in the tent and was shocked to find how much weaker and sickly Fëanaro looked.
-It had apparently cost large portions of his fëa for nights he was able to sneak into Neylo's tent to give his own to Telvo.
-The entire time that Fëanaro had been driven by rage and madness ever since they took the Oath, his obsession over the Silmarils seems to be a kind of withdrawal from a major addiction, its light and power being partially mingled with his own in their creation; so without them, and the Light of the Trees, Fëanaro's fiery spirit couldn't heal itself as quickly as it once would have before, which partially explained why he was so desperate to get them back.
-It had also been the Silmarils, during the time of their creation, that had quickly restored his fiery spirit when he gave almost all of it to Nerdanel and the twins, when both mother rand children had almost died during the birth...but evidently starting changing Fëanaro with its addictive power ever since.
-For now, he could only rely on a tonic the healers had been prescribing to him to temporarily boost his fëa for a certain periods of time, and was able to cover his weak condition by using his anger towards Melkor, pretending that nothing has changed in order to display his strength to the Noldor as their High King.
-It had turned out that Fëanaro had regained some of his mind on the night they burned the ships at Losgar.
-At the time, he started to truly realize the madness of his thoughts and actions from the moment he learned to have killed one of his children by his own hand, that even then he had been influenced by Melkor, but he also realized that it was too late to take it all back and that he had truly damned himself, so he didn't bother showing the remorse he felt when he let his youngest surviving twin-son rightfully curse at him.
-After helping to his feet and giving him the tonic (there were only a few left at the time), Fëanaro had ordered Makalaurë to not tell anyone, not his brothers, and especially not Ambarussa, that he had been giving his spirit away; one) because of his pride, for he did not want to be seen as weak, and two) for fear that if the latter found out that his hroä had been accepting his father's fëa, he would try to reject anything his father gave him or try harming himself.
-With this newfound knowledge, Telvo had burst into tears and starts to cry, both touched and horrified that his father had been sacrificing half of his life in order to keep Telvo on life support, trying to use much of his fëa to fill in the space he wrongfully vacated Pityo's from.
-He realizes out of guilt that Fëanaro probably would have had a better chance in surviving the battle with the Balrog if he had more time to wholly recover his fëa.
-It also explained why Telvo was quicker to anger than usual (though he could have blamed it on the grief for his twin), and at times even sensed his father's emotions: fey and angry, but also heartbroken and full of a desperate love reserved only for his close family, whom he would rather die for than be left without.
-In blubbering tears shared with Makalaurë, who had also started crying, Telvo let himself be embraced in his elder brother's arms (who was considered his other father-brother figure after Neylo).
-He finally tells him he is sorry for his behavior and that he had forgiven him for Pityo, and now for Neylo, for he too will share the burden with him if it would relieve some of the pains of being king.
-He also wishes then that he had forgiven their father earlier, back while there had still been time, but Makalaurë gently tells him that he believed Fëanaro had never expected any forgiveness-nor did he and any of their brothers for that matter––but hearing that their precious little Ambarussa still loved them in spite of what they had done, what they had taken from him, was enough of a miracle.
-Telvo recalls Fëanaro's faint smile before he became ashes and lets himself be convinced of that.
-Makalaurë lets Telvo sleep with him in his tent for the night, rocking and lulling him to sleep like a child despite his teasing protests that he was an adult now.
-Before falling asleep, Telvo also confesses that he has been hearing Pityo's voice everywhere he goes, to the point when he sometimes convinced that his twin is alive and out there somewhere.
-Not seeing his concern, he feels Kano give him a kiss on the forehead, and that moment made him feel like it was his father who had done the same thing, back when he thought it had been a dream.
