on huan; and oromë, and the breaking with the valar
Huan and Celegorm were not long both with Oromë before he gave the hound to his friend; he was grown and had all the skills the Vala taught his beasts. Celegorm’s gift of speech reached far even before he was taught that of birds and other animals thoroughly, and so they understood each other soon before that.
Soon they were not seen apart except in few places, and even there, Huan waited ever for his master.
Celegorm commanded him seldom in Valinor, or he did at times that they were oft already of the same mind. So it came too that they went together when Fëanor was banished to Formenos, while then they still ventured onto Oromë’s grounds.
And Huan was silent when Celegorm swore the oath but he still went with him though he also understood the doom.
Celegorm came early in his life to Oromë to be taught by him, and while he was taught friendship grew from their dynamics easily. Oromë passed all he might, and perhaps more than to anyone else in Aman. And therefor, for their friendship, Celegorm long kept in good spirit with the Valar, even as scorn for them rose among the Noldor. He did not break with them, with Oromë, easily and in fact not till Mandos spoke their doom, only last.
Quick to anger he may be, but had never been quick to break bonds.
So then it came that Celegorm lived only with Huan in Beleriand, and still they went together and so never rued the hound’s origin. But Celegorm’s love became twisted when Huan went without him, aided Lúthien. There was less trust now, and Celegorm was more loath than ever to let him go alone, but there was also less companionship.
Of course, their final breaking came when Huan went with Lúthien for good.
And in this time — as well as the time he had to go finally from Oromë’s country — Celegorm was sorrowful... and yet he had always had pride, hurt pride, to match. If not for his scorn he would have had tears, but indeed his mood, his proudness outweighed.
It did not come to him until late that he may still grieve these partings.
Huan’s owner he was not. His master, like a good king unto his subjects not unto slaves. Thus Huan left him without being slain; and because, more than a king, Celegorm loved him.
