That's a beautiful post, Nuru. Just two minor things: (1) I thought Leafa's mother was dead. Am I wrong? (2) I'd like to insert just a brief answer from Ædegard toward the end of your post:

"I cannot speak," she said. "Words cannot suffice to tell all that is in my heart. I fear that I can make no passionate speeches fit for this time. I try to speak, but nothing will come." The merry flickering faded suddenly from her eyes, and was replaced with a tender and sorrowful earnestness. But Ædegard smiled gently.

"I need no great speeches, Leafa, my heart. Your eyes say all I need."

She smiled then. "Farewell, dear Ædegard. Return to me soon. I will wait for you."

Okay for me to do that, Nuru?

lmp, I read through the thread and it appears that Leafa's mother is still alive and well, though unhappy with her life as a wayfarer.

And yes, by all means insert Ædegard's answer!

I've edited in the Ædegard/Leafa post. Let me know if I need to change anything.

Helen, soon as you get back here with something, I'll see what Raefindan can do with it.
