Re: The friendship of Legolas and Gimli - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I would like to add that Legolas probably felt more kind towards Gimli after the Lady Galadriel allowed him into the lands whereas no dwarf had set foot there for a long time. I think Legolas probably felt that if Galadriel was so willing to accept the dwarf he also should show kindness. I agree with all the other views about Gimli however I would like to add that Legolas warmed up a bit as well and it wasn't all Gimli who caused the quarreling with the elf. Also I don't think they ever were enemies. I just think they were both a little arrogant and over time it turned into teasing not hatred.
