| Yikes, Tathar should have known better than to try to deter Legolas once his mind was made up. It’s interesting that Tathar is looking at it more from a father’s perspective than as a friend, while Legolas is still trying to keep the promise they made so long ago. I suppose they would never have said such hurtful things if they didn’t truly care so deeply for one another and dread not only the imminent separation but the chance that they might never be reunited. I love the way you chose for them to reconcile – the idea of them talking through the night as close friends do, probably finally saying everything to each other that they wanted to. It’s a lovely image and I’m sure they’ll be glad they did so. Wow, that book seems to be completely intriguing! Thranduil and Elrond should be proud of themselves! I’m glad it helped Tathar understand his friend’s reasons for joining the quest, although it seems a pity that he didn’t read it a lot earlier and save himself some heartache. There’s a Dwarf going on the quest? The son of one that Thranduil imprisoned? No…perish the thought….!! That letter is so sad! It was a lovely idea, but I can only imagine how difficult it must be for him to write it, knowing he might never see the one to whom it was written again, as well as knowing the pain Thranduil will be experiencing if he ever does read it. It was beautifully written. I love the way Legolas uses it to try and convey exactly how much he loves his father and that he knows that he was loved in return, while also trying to maintain a note of hope that Thranduil would be able to find peace one day. The final moment between the two friends was lovely. Such a lonely closing image, though. Legolas really is showing such courage and strength of character. I doubt there would be many others who would agree to such an undertaking, at least not without more of their own kind included. Still, it just shows that Elrond obviously knew what he was doing!:) Author Reply: Tathar and Legolas do think differently in some regards, but even a strong disagreement is not likely to cause a permanent fift in their friendship, especially at this stage of their history. As for the book, well..let's just say that Tathar is not fond of reading. | |
