Back again, yaaay! *huggles fic*

Oh, poor Legolas! *hugs him* Having this event strike him so suddenly and keenly with the realization of Aragorn's mortality.... With a mere injury causing him this much grief, it must be truly frightening to think about what he will feel should (or when) he loses Aragorn altogether. And as an immortal, who will never have to deal with the idea of death in quite the same way, and doesn't look towards it as his natural end...I can't even imagine how much harder this must affect him. *hugs him again*

But aw, Elladan was so very encouraging, and that conversation between him and Legolas was both sweet and funny. Ah, Elladan full of all of his elder brother knowledge. *g* But I really think this is exactly the encouragement Legolas needs right now, as he's trying to grapple with the idea of his friend's mortality...and that he finally does realize that this brotherhood bond is worth all the risk of being hurt, and that in the end, that will outweigh all the pain.

Just a lovely story, mellon-nin! I enjoyed this so much! :)

I think it must be very, very hard for an immortal to be faced with the immortality of someone he is really close to. *huggles Legolas, too* What Aragorn's death will do to Legolas is really a frightening thought. I don't think a pain like that will ever heal, even in Valinor. It is still my hope that they will somehow, some day, see each other again, though. ;-) Everything else is just too sad to consider.

The idea that Elladan and Elrohir might have seen Legolas as a younger brother is fairly new to me, but I love it. *g* That way, the twins get to impart their accumulated elder brother wisdom and Legolas gets the comfort he needs. I think it was really helpful that the twins were able to understand at least partly what Legolas was going through thanks to their experience with him. I think having such a friendship as Legolas shares with Estel is definitely worth both the risk and the pain. *hugs both of them*

I'm so glad you enjoyed this story, mellon-nin! Thank you so much for your review! :)
