| Capucine's second
Feud picture. This
is wonderful, so filled with detail from the plush panther fur cape to
the bruises on Thranduil's face! I could spend hours looking at all the
exquisite items in the treasure pile. This is an illustration of the chapter in which Legolas claims the Emeralds of Girion as compensation for his years in exile. The expressions on the elves' faces so perfectly reflect the conflict each feels as the pair struggle toward a truce. |

down here, and alone at that?" he
queried for the second time in less a tone of command and more an
expression of genuine puzzlement, and he eyed the jumble of golden
bands and the little wooden box. The sight of the plain container drew
him forward at once and he reached for it. "Why did you remove this?" "These are mine," Legolas was quicker, being closer, and had the slender cask tucked under his arm in an instant, defiance blooming in his vibrant cobalt orbs anew. "Those are certainly not your property! As I said, everything here belongs to me," Thranduil's irritation at this obstinacy reasserted itself." Tangadad Buiad [Establishing Allegiance] |
