Summary
“...forgive us for the presumption,” Edrehasivar said, tone slightly strangled in the way it always is when he doesn’t like what is coming out of his mouth. “But we thought, if we... that is, if we, er… attended... then you would not have to… no one would have to…" He sagged under our stares. “...stay behind,” he finished feebly.
We were at that moment visited by a terrible, inevitable vision of the Ethuverazhid Zhas cornered by our mother, and we confess we had to lean on the wall in a brief violation of Alchenar IX.I.VI. Even the edocharei seemed taken aback; even Cala. Edrehasivar looked horribly dismayed at this non-reaction, and immediately started to backtrack.
"We do not wish to inflict ourself," he said wretchedly. "It was only a— a thought…" He trailed off, but the pause persisted. In it, we reflected to ourself that while we had taken knives for this boy, and would willingly take plenty more, he had — indeed, has — a talent for making us want to scream in dismay.

Summary
In the end, Gimli thinks, Legolas will steal his heart and sail away with it, and even the wonders of the Glittering Caves are not enough consolation for that loss. But when Aragorn calls for Gimli’s help in dismantling the hidden traps of Orthanc, everything changes.

Summary
I look forward to hearing from you. Let me know how Dior is getting on; he does write to Lómion and Tyelpë, but I would like to hear your thoughts as well, as someone who understands what it is to rule. And Tyelpë gets annoyed if I ask to read his letters.
Maedhros
Also, whilst I am writing this and have your attention, please remind Túrin to write home to his parents and sister. They are trying to plan Nienor’s wedding, and he has not yet given them an answer as to when he and Beleg will return to Dór-Lomin. I normally would not be reduced to messenger like this, but even I fear the wrath of an irate mother trying to make plans, as any sensible person would.
