| I think you capture the weight and despair of shadow well at the beginning, and we see the effects on Legolas. Being young, he probably does not have the defense against it that the others do, merely by experience, although he lives closer to it physically. Glorfindel's memory of Legolas as an elfling is a wonderful, light contrast to that shadow. The water and the sun and their dance - and better yet with a fully revealed golden one :D. Lenmana is interesting here, for I am not sure they speak of the same thing. I am not entirely sure what Legolas wants from her, or if she knows what she wants from him. Her moratilty is rushing and fleeting and interesting to him. His immoratlity intrigues her, but for different reasons. It will be interesting to see where Legolas' dreams take him.... | |

| I liked the glimpses into the working of the two elven psyches. Glorfindel long life give him some perspective that Legolas lacks yet, but oddly enough, he thinks about the one inevitable sign that time passes even for elves: he thinks of a child who no longer is a child. And that's a sweet moment too. I enjoyed the image of him and little Legolas dancing together (in so MANY ways, I enjoyed it, but that's another story). Legolas's dream is touching too because you can see that both he and Lenmana suffer from their opposite "gifts." | |
