I like 'seeing' the Fellowship through Legolas's eyes.

[kayleelupin]

Thank you Shirebound! I am glad. :)

Amusing! You captured his voice well. I am glad he changed his mind about Gimli eventually.

[kayleelupin]

Thank you Karri! Of course he did :) *giggles*

Thank goodness he did finally change his mind about Gimli! And I hope that Thranduil had only praise for his son when they were finally reunited.

[kayleelupin]

This is Thranduil's POV on Legolas in Ithilien after the war, my story "East-Victor?" http://www.lotrgfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=1405&chapter=1 It is not their initial reunion, but rather some musings by Thranduil on his son. I hope it helps answer that for you :)

The Fellowship consisted of heirs to leadership, even if each save Gandalf and Aragorn and Frodo was considered perhaps young by the standards of their own people. I am glad he found reason to be glad in the end of the presence of Gimli within the Fellowship.

[kgreen20]

All but one. Sam was Frodo's servant; he was a gardener and the son of a gardener, not an heir to a leadership position. Yet even he became a leader much later, when he became mayor.

As for Gimli, I don't know whether his father was a leader among the Dwarves or not. I do know that he and Oin were not related to the late Thorin.

[kayleelupin]

Sam may not have been heir to leadership, but he was certainly heir to his father's position as gardener of Bag End, so that was certainly a prestigious position, at least so far as working-class hobbits would see it. Working for such an important hobbit as the head of the Baggins family was no small thing. :) Of course, then he became The Baggins' heart-brother and dearest companion, right up there with Frodo's own cousins, and that says a whole lot more

[kgreen20]

You've made some good points, and thanks for the Dwarven genealogy lesson!

[kayleelupin]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you think so. :)

(By the way, your name and your icon are making me seriously hungry...lol.)
