I am so out of the loop, I havn't even read the Teithos.... and now I see what I missed :-). I like this little interaction between the two friends. And at least for me it is a nice twist that Legolas gives hope to Aragorn concerning the resoration of Mirkwood, and not the other way around. In my mind it would be hard to not lose hope after seeing Mirkwood only in darkness for so long, and I like Legolas' faith here.
Author's Response: Hey Amarok *waves madly*! Haven't seen you around in a while, it's so good to see you're back - and with a new story no less. That's how I like it:) Well, you know me. My Legolas rarely needs someone to pat him on the shoulder and tell him "It'll be all right". It's mostly the other way 'round! |
