dialogue between Beren and Luthien
[In reply to]
|
Can't Post
|
|
Messing around to one side, I imagine it might be rather like the lines the New Line script team gave Aragorn & Arwen in the scene from Fellowship of the Ring Movie where Arwen takes Frodo for a wee ride on Asfaloth. OK they are remaining buttoned up in public (conversation wise, I mean ), but they also have the urgent practical task of deciding who gets the more dangerous job of evacuating Frodo. Aragorn volunteers for it, but quickly agrees that she's the better hero for that particular mission. The brevity of that dialogue suggests to me a couple who know & trust each other well.
Disclaimers: The words of noWizardme may stand on their heads! I'm often wrong about things, and its fun to be taught more.... "nowimë I am in the West, Furincurunir to the Dwarves (or at least, to their best friend) and by other names in other lands. Mostly they just say 'Oh no it's him - look busy!' " Or "Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!"
