“No?”
“You can’t hear them. I can. It’s very distracting.. and yours is quite violent and sad. I am not going to try to match images to it. I was trying not to listen.”


« The stars are beautiful, are they not?
We should remember to thank Varda for them. »

« Peaceful, isn’t it? Or seemingly so.. »

« Your hair is so like the sun—-
I hope that you are being valued
more than it.»
•∰ He waited for a sound— a whisper,
a noise to break the spanned silence.❝Go on.❞

She regards him with a rare suspicion. For so
rarely does she meet one who may actually equal her.
« How is that we have not met before ? »

« I am sorry. Truly. But I ¢αηησт help you. »
“I have never seen anyone stare so solemnly at a mug of coffee.”
She lets out a quiet, indignant huff. “It is not the mug I am preoccupied with..”

If you request Nienna’s help she will be hard pressed to deny you. However she will typically not help unless she is asked to. She will offer comfort and guidance but to actually intervene in an altercation you would have to call on her.
This is because the Valar do not meddle. They are there primarily for guidance and to keep the world in balance. Behind the scenes tweaking, if you will. Nienna is very gentile and will not break from her role which is to observe the world and it’s sorrows and comfort the souls in the Halls of Mandos —-
but she is also weak to those in need. If they request her help and she cannot see her involvement causing any major disruptions in the goings on of the world, she will most likely not be able to keep herself from helping.
Note the major disruptions in the goings on of the world bit. If Nienna were asked to take the ring she would not do it. Because the bulk of Middle Earth has not asked for her help. The Valar have not been called on to act, so they will not.
Now if it were something like driving away orcs, etc – she would oblige.
