One of the things Gildor looked forward to on reaching the Undying Lands was being able to eat a bag of chips without getting mobbed by sea-gulls....
Elrond: 'In this at least he will know a lightening of his heart in Valinor. The Long Defeat we have all fought has been hardest on Gildor. He has never been able to eat his chips on the long grey shores of Middle-earth without being harrassed in this way.'
Galadriel: 'Nay Elrond! Though I had not the heart to tell him of them, the gulls of Ulmo at the havens of Alqualonde are thrice as vicious as their kindred here in Endor.'
Elrond: 'Then it would seem, Lady of the Galadhrim, that mayhap Feanor's rash vow pursues the Noldor still, even in the Land of the Valar. Alas!
Galadriel: 'Even so!'
(Exeunt sadly.....)
