I enjoyed this glimpse of Elrond and Faramir, both of them duty-bound even in the midst of the celebrations. I like that Elrond was able to give Faramir ease of mind and turn his perception of his talent from curse to gift.

You found a very interesting commonality between Faramir and Elrond; I've never seen it explored before.

Nicely done and very interesting. Good grasp of LOTR background for being new to the fandom.
Do you have other vignettes for us to read?

That's good. Very uncommon, but in a good way.
I agree with Diddler07: For being new in the fandom, you got this really well.
If you write more, I'll read!

This was indeed very pleasant. I skimmed it the first time and found myself going back to understand what this was. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was just what it was meant to be. A conversation between two men of different races finding a common bond in their "gift". I loved Elrond in the first person and who doesn't love Faramir. Your vivid portrayal of his physical suffering was very wwell rendered. You have a very pleasant writing style that I enjoyed as well.
