He was feeling much better by then, and it was almost a disappointment when Glorfindel nodded agreement and rendered all the careful arguments he had mustered useless.

His dignity solaced, he allowed the twins to boost him to the saddle, and let the horse find its own way down as he breathed deep of the welcoming scent of pine and spruce.
