Father? Do you think it wise to speak to Eärendil? Not you yourself, as I know well your [...] thoughts on the matter. But it occurs to me that he may be confused. There is much fighting, as Faramir points out, between elves and men. But like us, he is neither.

He is being told from both sides that half of who he is is wrong and bad. As the half-elven ourselves I think I may be able to reach him. And give him comfort where no one offers him any.

But I know also that he is not my child, but my grandfather, and I know of his mother's reluctance to have us near him for fear we may speak things he should not hear.

	I do not think it would be unwise for you to speak to him, especially in light of the current hostility on the island. But I would get his mother's permission first. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am nearly three thousand years old, father, and I find myself uncertain some days because of this hostility. But this isn't about me. I will speak with her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have always considered myself a friend of men, and I have never known Elves and Men to have such conflict in all my years. Perhaps do not tell him that you are his grandson. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think [...] it is because elves are stubborn in their age, and men too easily wounded. But I wonder if it can really be so simple. Do I tell him that I am half-elven and leave out explanation? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nothing is ever simple, Elladan. Perhaps do not explain it further unless he asks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are wise, father. (Reply to this) (Parent)
