Self Notes 10 - Thoughts



I gave him some time and space to settle…

I gave me some time to understand…

 

I let him be the guest as he wanted and had my eye on him from a distance.. just in case if he needs help. Of course he knew where to find me but as long as he is under my responsibility this is the most I can do. Yet he didn’t need my help and I’m not surprised…

I left him be nearly for a week and he spent most of his time wandering within the boundaries of Imladris, enjoying the scenes and writing his little notebook. He didn’t step into the library once and I wondered if he is still upset. Before talking with the cauns about the matter I decided to talk with him and found him seated under the trees writing on his little notebook. We talked a little bit… or maybe I should say that I talked and he wrote but at least this time we seem to understand each other far more well than before. Then he companied me to the stables and on our way I showed him the little island also told him a story about the Lady in the water. He says he is not a child but the expression on his face was certain contradict at that time. Yet…

 

He told me that.. that he was feeling my sadness… and I finally understood the meaning lies under his words about people not speaking freely here. He seems to have no hesitations, no timidity, he speaks what’s in his heart. That is why he cried that night…

 

I also remembered clearly how he amazed with the dancing couples and as I wanted to apologize, offered him to show a few dance steps. I, myself wasn’t very good at dancing still I can be able to show him the most common style amongst in our kin. That is when we came across to Lord Tindir and he asked how we are doing… Maybe that time I should have told him what happened but I couldn’t. I felt Tinuchens’ uneasy situation and remained silent. I don’t know what is right or wrong anymore but I’m going to give myself another chance to full fill my responsibility.

 

And about his father Urnu, I would like to have the chance to make a conversation with him sometime in future.
