Mairon was shocked. Actually, more than shocked. Melkor was crying. In pain. Helpless.
And Mairon didn't know what to do.
Nudging Cuivie over, he moved until both stallions were nearly touching. They were roughly the same height, so he dropped the reins and leaned over, wrapping his arms around his master who seemed to shrink from the pain, and drawing him into his chest. Melkor rested his head on Mairon and the Maia realised they were both shaking. Melkor presumably from pain, and Mairon because he loved Melkor more than anything in the world and would die for him, but this suffering he could do nothing about.
