What lmp said! Aylwen, your song's just right-- emotionally strained, hungry, contradictory... Deep down Mellondu suspects what it means, but he can't face it.

lmp, let's just get to the city. The elves know that Mellondu is ready to just go home... and Tharonwe would like that just fine, would he not? Erebemlin and Taitheneb can shut their minds tight. Erebemlin knows that he won't leave Mellondu's side; Taitheneb guesses his decision; but nobody else knows that. So it will be a bit of a surprise when a very tall, very large, very blond elf follows Mellondu right into his parents's little modest apartment and, Sam-like, refuses to budge from Mellondu's side.

Taitheneb can ride herd on Tharonwe til the Mellondu-and-his-Dad-concerning-Erebemlin-and-Amroth scene plays out. I guess some of the others can visit the Inn, or something.

What think ye, folks?

I'd like to see Aeron create a bit of a ruckus regarding Minas Tirith. Does he want to go there? If he's okay with going there, I would think he'd fear capture and would therefore feel the need to slip away from the group quickly.

"Has anyone seen Aeron?"

"No, he's been so quiet for so long that I didn't notice him. How long do you think he's been gone?"

"He entered the city with us," says an Elf.

"Oh no......"

and so forth. Immy? What do you think?

In general, if I'd been out on this (really quite miserable!) trip, I'd be thinking "Wow, an Inn! Hot food and a real bed! Can't wait!" and wishing the horses would go faster.

My sentiments exactly.

Helen - what/where does Nethwador want to do/go when all is said and done?

-Aylwen

P.S. Happy late Easter to those of you who celebrate...if not, Happy late Sunday!

Thanks, Happy Easter Season to you too! ...It goes til Pentecost...

Nethwador's first loyalty was to Amroth, so if Amroth surfaces, Nethwador will snap to his side... looking hastily over his shoulder to see if Bella is following. If she does not follow, he will be wrenched in two, oscillating unpredictably between Amroth and Bella.

In the long run, he hasn't given much thought to where/ what he wants-- as long as he can still enjoy Amroth's benevolence and protection-- the first benevolence and protection he's ever had; and, as long as he goes wherever Bella is going. About six inches from her side. If the two ever separate, see previous paragraph.

He likes Liornung, too. And Taitheneb is nice, and Erebemlin is good because he respects Amroth's condescendance to the boy and follows suit.

ps. He's tagging happily along with this troop because Bella and Mellondu are going in the same direction. But he's NEVER been to a city before.

Aeron has slipped off, two long or three short days out from the city.

I wonder if Erebemlin would respond like he did before:
Quote:
This was madness. The company was finally on the right track…they find the lost man, capture his captor, and the incompetent mortals scatter like gnats.
How would the elves respond? The rangers? WIth the city only three (or two ) days away, will they turn aside?
