i definitely see the choice of westron [In reply to] Can't Post

 
i definitely see the choice of westron/a language the rohirrim could understand was a choice of solidarity... but i think he could have chosen better words.... like...

"i shall fight as one of them."

or something similar.

i think the way his particular words came out, along with the fact that the previous portion of the conversation was in eclipse (because it was in sindarin), was not optimal.

cheers --

aka. fili orc-enshield
+++++++++++++++++++
the scene, as i understand it, is exceptionally well-written. fili (in sort of a callback to the scene with the eagles), calls out "thorRIIIIIIN!!!" just as he sees the pale orc veer in for the kill. he picks up the severed arm of an orc which is lying on the ground, swings it up in desperation, effectively blocking the pale orc's blow. and thus, forever after, fili is known as "fili orc-enshield."

this earns him deep respect from his hard-to-please uncle. as well as a hug. kili wipes his boots on the pale orc's glory box. -- maciliel
