I liked this, Rous: I liked the very idea that Haldir and Galadriel might have to talk about this and that he didn't just bow and go.

I don't get who the man is, though.

No one in particular. Perhaps just a messenger. I needed someone to reflect against the elves. So, he has no active part, just a reminder that they are not the only ones with something at stake. Otherwise, why not just withdraw and leave everything to Sauron?

Oh Rous! How nicely drabbled. I have read a story like this, written by Sophia Silfaery, Foresight (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2305064/1/), and she gave her own twist about it. But Haldir questioning the *why* they should interfere andin combination with that moment in the movie, where he proudly tells Theoden why he's there with his elves. A great visual Rous! It makes me want to pop in the Two Towers!

It is on my list. I just expanded the last one, so I guess this is next. LOL

Somewhere I read that there was a scene filmed that explained the whole business, but unfortunately it was cut. Pity, no?

Then again I like your version. Especially the first line. Don't ask me why. Maybe - like Rhapsody said - it's the visual. And you're thinking of expanding it! ::does happy dance::

Go Haldir!

I can so relate to these shivers of distaste you mentioned, but on the other hand I can't help crying every time I watch TTT and the scene of Haldir's death (does it make me sound like: We loves it and we hates it preciousssss...?). I really like your drabble, it adds a lot to the movieverse. Perhaps one day we will have a chance to see all those cut scenes in the extended extended version, who knows. Thank you for sharing Smile smiley face
