THANKS FOR YOUR NOTE
Dear Arwing,
Thanks for the little note you sent me. I was nice to finally meet you. Very exhilarating -- for me at least. I would be delighted to see your kittens and your horse.
Undoubtably you saw Huinlas also, although I must say he was not acting himself at all. I have never seen him so quiet and absent before, especially at a gathering like last night. So many people; so much talking and laughter. It was like a grand reunion, except that I was meeting everyone for the first time. Not really a reunion then, I guess.
I so enjoyed the feast and lively company last night. We shall have to assemble everyone again and have a dance. I love to dance, do you? I learned much from my father and mother, and Huinlas even taught me a few elven dances. They are very beautiful and make one feel very light and lovely while one is dancing.
I had a wonderful time chatting with Eldarion last night. He is such a character! (I mean that kindly.) So regal and impressive in his manner. He had to show me everything and introduce me to everyone, which I found quite charming. Since then he has been often running to find me, asking if I might play with him. I have been to see his horse . . . three times.
Yes, thankfully, Huinlas was truthful and the dream has not returned. I don't know how he could have power over my dreams, but I am thankful for it this once. At other times and under different circumstances I should find it rather suspicious and prying. I mean to ask him about it, but it seems he has been very busy talking with Father and the king, as well as wandering around alone much.
Except for my runs with Eldarion to the horse stable, I have spent the day by Boromir's side. How slowly he improves! Today he seemed very worn and tired. His face looked even a little paler than it did yesterday, but perhaps I am mistaken. He looks so grave, and hardly says a word. Yet he did tell me he was glad I came to visit him; he told me he is very lonely. Of course when I found this out I felt miserable for having devoted so much of my time elsewhere these past few days. Since we are only staying in the city for his health to improve I might as well remain with him if it might help him to heal more quickly. I hope every little thing will be a benefit, and I do so greatly desire to see him well again.
So, Arwing, I must close now. It appears Boromir desires to talk again, and as that happens seldom there is reason to pay attention.
Mellonlín,
