Summary: Legolas worries about taking Gimli West with him.
Author's Notes: Sorry I've been gone so long. :)

The waves lap gently against the bow of the gray boat. The sound is relaxing. Already he can feel the weariness leaving his leaden heart. He glances at Gimli, his beard and hair turned snowy white, and wonders if he is doing the right thing. His chest aches each time he sees his friend rub his arthritic knees or sit down because he is out of breath. That ache is nothing compared to the pain he would feel if he would leave him behind. Imagine their faces when a dwarf steps off the ship! He smiles—definitely the right thing.
