| To realize that discontent with Middle Earth when the West calls him does not stop him knowing joy is a great gift indeed, and it took two determined ladies to get that fact through to him! Heh! About bloody time that got through his thick head--you'd think he was a Dwarf for his stubbornness on the subject! Author Reply: It was indeed time he figured it out with some good help. :) Thanks for reading! | |

| Oe would thenk that an Elf, who count time in yeni rather tha coranari would tolerate pausing his journey to the sea for a century or so. But then, there is that other thing he is waiting for, which determines how long the pause in the journey is going to be. He is waiting for his friend to do that most unnatural (to Elves) thing: to die. And not in the Elvish "spend a few yeni as a guest of Námo before you are reembodied" way either, but in the Mannish "not coming back" way. I suppose that is always in Legolas' subconscious, and is what really complicates his bouts of sea-longing. At least his friends have been able to get through to him now! Author Reply: Ah, but Legolas has spent much time among mortals! I think such influence could affect the way an elf experiences the passing of time, especially one with such close friendships and an understanding of just how quickly his time with them will pass. There is also the issue that in my 'verse', the sea longing is a more active internal struggle. Once awakened, it is difficult to ignore. It is not just a pausing of the journey, but a daily endurance of it calling to him. That would also slow the passing of time for an elf. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! :) | |
