[livejournal.com profile] gwynnyd asked for Gandalf and Glorfindel comparing notes on slaying balrogs.

Day 196

as part of the An Elf-lord Revealed series.

Comparing Notes

"Elrond tells me you faced a balrog." Glorfindel's tone was light but curious as they paced the gardens of the Houses of Healing.

Gandalf nodded. "In Moria."

"I found mine quite... tenacious."

Gandalf's brows beetled. "That would be one word for it!"

"Did you grapple at close quarters?" Glorfindel idly examined the golden flowers on a low-growing shrub.

"Too close for comfort! But I had no need to wrestle." Gandalf smiled grimly at the memory. "I held onto my sword."

"Ah." Glorfindel grinned suddenly. "I am sure Elrond's great-grand-sire will be pleased to hear his blade tasted balrog blood again."

What a wonderful exchange (and I agree, a truly exceptional prompt)! I love reborn Glorfindel's nonchalance: "Ho hum, yes, balrog slaying - all in a day's work." And then you work in lineage and a history lesson, too! Very nice, Tanaqui.
