Day 97: A different perspective

Day 97

A Different Perspective

Lord Celeborn seems now to regret the presence of the dwarf. His words bring my argument with Gimli by Silverlode vividly to my mind.

But Lady Galadriel speaks kindly to him. True, her Noldor blood runs strongly in her veins, while I am Sindar. Still, she has lived three ages, and seen the Day before days.

And Gimli’s thanks – from one who has little skill with words or grace in action – surprise and move me.

I glance across at him. I remember how Moria oppressed my spirit. I cannot help but wonder how he will fare in this Elven land.

Very nice, Tanaqui. I can see this moving right into all the time that Gimli and Legolas spend together in Lorien.

Thanks - I was wondering what changed between Legolas and Gimli having a go at each other about "stiff necks" by the Silverlode to becoming pretty inseparable and Gimli spending more time with the elves than the rest of the Fellowship. That's a big shift in behaviour!!
