"I am pleased to hear as such." This time it was a struggle for Melkor to control his expression. The Valar would be his downfall and he knew who would lead the charge against him. It took every ounce of self control his expression into one of relief.

"If there is any wisdom I may share to your to bring back against your struggle against the Enemy, I would be most happy to share it, so that the suffering of my people will not have been in vain." Always helpful, but Melkor had to do something to ensure that they wouldn't defeat Sauron at least, as small as his influence from another time and place could be.
