Just because it involves Olorin does not mean it has to take place in the Third Age. On the contrary. Gandalf did not bring the Elessar with him to middle earth when he came in the Third Age, and we know Olorin was a friend of the Elves in Valinor, so it makes sense he would be chosen to send it as a gift to Galadriel. Both of the stories take place around the same time in our draft, and thus go quite nicely in their own little subchapter here. It is a little jarring, but it is entirely contained in its own section now, and I think it is fine this way.
