His brothers leave to organise the journey and leave the healing to Legolas. No wonder Gimli is not happy.
I guess next time they won't place Frodo so near to Pippin...

Raksha's right. Trouble seems to have decided who its victims are. Everybody in that room seems to hesitate now before doing anything.

Aragorn was acting kind of wierd at the beginning...but I guess that's what anyone would say if they thought they were about to die...

"Tell Arwen that I loved her and am sorry that I..."

That IS what anyone would do. They would hand the "responsibility" of telling someone that they loved him/her to someone else instead of saying themselves...well but they were dying and so one couldn't expect TOO much...

And Legolas must have been pretty sure that the king-of-Gondor-to-be would survive if he told him to tell Arwen the message himself...

After the sons of Elrond arrived Gimli seems to retain his I-hate-elves attitude before he met Galadriel. He seems to be angry at everything they same, though we all know that it is just out of concern for Aragorn. It is quite something that the two elves haven't lost their patience with him. After all, he IS Gimli.

It seems to me that the journey to Ithilien won't be easy at all.

Good luck in finishing your story!

I think Legolas tells Aragorn to tell arwen himself as he is loath to accept that Aragorn could die.

Apart from Legolas and Galadriel, I don't know if Gimli likes Elves as a whole, at least not yet,and he must feel very frustrated that the twins are not helping Aragorn.

You are quite right,the journey will be far from easy !

Uh-oh, things look bad for everyone. Pippin needs a grief counselor, Sam and Frodo need a doctor, and "Doctor" Aragorn needs an E.R.! Maybe the Eagles can fetch Elrond...

Angst all round, and very entertaining.

Oh, this is so wonderful to find it here! It's one of the most lovable and best written stories I know. Not only because of its style but because of its deep insight into the characters. Enjoyable ever and again!
