“You have a kind heart, Elrond Eärendilion, young as you are. I respect and admire that. But I can't in all honesty encourage this trait in you. It will bring you only pain and loss, if you don't learn to curb it in.”
Maglor frowned. “He's to be a hardened warrior then, like you?”
“If you want him to survive, yes."
I really loved this. The incremental measuring on the ruler was also good, but this small triple really rang true for how Elrond's life would be lived. Very nicely done.

That sounds like a wonderful aphorism.

The idea of the ruler made me smile - it reminded me of 'my' Eldarion (here in the sixth drabble of 'A is for Apple') - clearly like grandfather like grandson!
