At least they are beginning to communicate again, which is always hopeful. Galadriel is right in her counsel, as is Faramir. He has two whose advice he can always count upon.

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to write! You're right. Communication is very important. But good advice is not always easy to take.

I love Celeborn's method of breaking the ice! Oh! And "with the help of her lady's soil" and realizing that he was in the presence of that very Lady!!!

(But poor Arwen! Hopefully her fears will quickly be resolved.)

I like Rumil, he has his priorities in order (retrieving the forgotten cask!)

Little Elanor is certainly the charmer...

The scene between Aragorn and Faramir is so well done. I definitely like your Faramir, even to his only taking orders from his king.

Oo! Aragorn's going to talk to Elrond? That ought to be interesting.

And ahhh. sigh of satisfaction at Arwen and Aragorn finally talking openly and honestly and soothing each other's fears.

Hello! Yep the Shire Spring is making Celeborn feel far younger than his more than 6,000 years (more actually, I think he MAY have been born during the years of the Trees before the first age, either that or Galadriel is a cougar marrying a far younger elf!

I just thought it was a fun way to break the ice as the Shire Spring is having a rejuvenating effect on Celeborn.

Arwen will go through a little more trauma before she comes through, but she will come through.

Rumil (who I recall reading somewhere in canon is Haldir's brother) definitely has his priorities in order!! Always remember the Ale!!

Little Elanor brings light and life to all who know her.

Thanks for the comments on my Faramir, though it is partially the book and partially David Wenham's wonderful portrayal that inspires. Which is why, though I know in the book that Faramir is supposed to have dark hair and grey eyes, but when I think of Faramir I see David Wenham's blue eyes and reddish blond hair. I am visually influenced when I write. And yes, Faramir does only take his lead from Aragorn, such is his respect for his king.

Aragorn will indeed talk with Elrond. In a later chapter.

Aragorn and Arwen still have a little rockiness to come but they have at least made a start. They both love each other so much that they think to protect each other and that is what is pulling them apart. But all does resolve.

Yeah! This response was a little long I know, but I was feeling chatty! :-)

Stay safe!

((virtual hugs))
