This is so very Boromir !I can see Elves as a culture shock to him.

Wonderful story and so very well told. I thought that you captured Boromir perfectly, I've always thought that he must have been so bored during the two months that he had to stay in Imladris. And, well, then there's Glorfindel who is wonderful. I loved how he reacted at the end of the sparring - his joy. That was perfect. Thanks for sharing! Razz smiley face

Nice gapfiller. I can really see this kind of sparring and cameraderie happening between Boromir and Glorfindel.

That was wonderful! Truly. You managed to capture Boromir's character and thought patterns exactly. After the fourth paragraph, you drew me in completely. I do think that, in the time he spent in Rivendell, he would have to go through some sort of cultural shock. Not to mention being bored out of his mind.

Also, I think he would feel slightly resentful towards the Elves there. After all, his people are fighting and dying for the freedom of Middle-Earth, and the Elves there seem to be doing nothing but enjoying themselves in their sheltered haven. Some resentment and prejudice were bound to be present in his thoughts.

I almost laughed out loud when he referred to Glorfindel as a 'youngster new to arms'. The sparring match was extremely well written and realistic. I can see how Boromir would be taken off guard by the elf's strength and speed. I don't think he ever fought against one before. I also enjoyed Glorifindel's reaction when the match ended.

Looks like Boromir made a friend in the end. Good for him.

Thank you for writing this.
