Roccotari Eldandil has just left Hobbiton.

Really, we shouldn't even be arguing about this but PJ had to go and screw stuff up again...grr!!!<P>About the whole Talking To Brego In Elvish thing: I talk to my horse in Quenya sometimes. He seems to enjoy it--relaxes, puts his head down, turns his ears to listen to me. (Yay to Tolkien for creating such beautiful languages!!!) Maybe Aragorn just wanted to let Brego know he was pleased, and since Sindarin is much prettier than English, he used it. Horses tend to pick up on tone and sound of voice, and Sindarin is generally softer and more lyrical.<P>I'm wondering (this is for all you horse people out there) how Aragorn got Brego to travel all collected with such a nice headset while he was half-unconscious.<P>Gorwingel--The line just before Brego shows up did go something like "May the grace of the Valar protect you", (should have been Belain, not Valar!!! GRRR! *okay, breathe, Roccotári, breathe*)so maybe she did get them to send Brego. Though how she would have communicated w/them, I dunno. Not to mention the fact that, if horses can even smell something weird, they won't go near the area. The place must have reeked of Orc and Warg. No sensible horse would have gone near it. <P>Hehehe...I do love the whole idea of Arwen becoming a horse though. That cracks me up. "Hey, Asfaloth, I can't get this whole trotting thing down..."
