That sounds beautiful.

Excellent! So it should...

What a beautiful image to describe! :)

[azalaisdep]

It was beautiful in my head - I'm glad that comes across.

What a wonderful image. I always loved the idea of them sharing the caves and the forest with each other.

Thank you! I've always liked the snippets of post-Ring-war Gimli and Legolas that we get, too. I'm glad you enjoyed this. (Don't know if I'll get to turn the tables on Gimli, that might depend on the prompts...)

Now, this would be a perfect gift! How beautiful that sharing proved! A lovely gapfiller that Tolkien merely hinted at!

Thank you! There's just enough sketching at the end of RoTK of what Gimli and Legolas got up next, to leave lots of room for fic.

I seem to have overlooked this. Gimli's awed description of the caves near Helm's Deep in the Two Towers is beautiful, and this is a lovely drabble about the time he returned and took Legolas with him. A gift from the heart you can safely say.
Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, it would have been from the heart, and I'm glad Legolas was able to appreciate it as such.
