ELDARION LAMENTS

My Dear Silwen,



Eldarion laments on my bed with the kittens because Father is absent from home. The poor little child has not been this long without him before, as far as he can remember.

I, too, wish you could meet my young brother. He wishes to see you. He is becoming a better horseman day by day. Eldarion continues to grow, as does his desire to see Father Elessar again. I fear that day by day he is starting to forget many things about the King.

Shall you be returning home soon?

Tinwë's kittens are continuing to grow, though I think they are starting to grow more from side to side than taller and sleeker as kittens should.

Cemenril has been longing for longer rides, as have I. I let him run as he wishes on some occasions, though not to his fullness of his heart's desire. I am sure that would lead us beyond the borders of Gondor. If I did go that far, I should long to continue even farther, and I'm not sure that would be a good circumstance.

I should end, for the letter carrier has been waiting in the hall for quite some time now.



Namárië
