Lineage
Celeborn looked outward. “There is a saying, 'The branch does not fall far from the tree.' Galadriel was my lynchpin, but Celebrían was hers. When Celebrían sailed her branch moved too far from us and Galadriel's light dimmed. I was powerless against her fading, she had to sail.”
He shook his head. “She is Western royalty. What would I be in the West but an oddity, a Sindarin speaking rustic who bows to no one, not even the Valar? It is a role I am loathe to play.”
Thranduil knelt, staring eye-to-eye. “You are Eastern royalty, of equally proud lineage.”
