Elenya's journal

And I love the way you use the flashbacks to fill us in on Tom and Barard's backstory.

:) It would be too easy to lose sight of poor Barard without the backstory

Aragorn must have been quite worried to send him.

although I think it is more telling that Barahir is there. I can imagine Barahir was the chosen delegate, and Legolas went along because, well, who was going to tell him he couldn't go? :D
