| What mattered was that his own heart, so reluctant at the start to open itself as father to a child of Men, could not now easily bear that child's loss. An evocative sketch of the development of the relationship between Elrond and Estel, in a nutshell. "limp as a rag doll": how worrisome! And the situation, especially the knowledge they are accumulating based on interviews and tracks and other evidence, is (as you say) intolerable. At last! They reach Dari, and the girl with Estel's hair tie knows exactly what to do. (And I hate having hair in my face, too, Estel. I rejoice with you on getting your hair tie back. It's so often the little things that make life livable.) Hmmm. It seems that Estel's previous interactions with Baradhald were not pleasant. It will be interesting to learn more. Author Reply: It is the little things, for sure! I can imagine collecting each new bit of information, all piling up to see worse and worse. At least they were able to learn from the inn that Estel was up and about and didn’t seem to have been harmed by drugs not meant for him. As a healer, I can only imagine the worry that would have been for Elrond. No, Baradhald is altogether unpleasant. Not many redeeming qualities, to be sure… | |
