Nerdanel reaches over to pat her hand comfortingly.
"It's odd, isn't it? You go from no one important to suddenly all eyes on you. And for you, it's doubly so, I imagine, as this isn't your world at all! But my dear, you do better than I think you think you do. And my dear Makalaure would never wish you to be unhappy - so tell him so, if things get too much. People forget sometimes that my Feanaro wasn't the only restless one. We chose a life away from the palace as much for my sensibilities as his."
She squeezes her hand.
"And don't think being noble means you can't do your own thing! I still work, as you can see. Arafinwe has his gardens, Earwen still sails. If you want to go out and explore the world rather than being confined to the palace, then go! We're Noldor, we understand restlessness."
