Well, let's just say that my impressions were ambivalent by the time they left Lorien. By that point, Boromir had been tempted by Galadriel, but Gimli and Legolas had become friends. Aragorn and Legolas seemed to be the only ones who didn't have any trepidation about entering Lorien. Obviously, everyone trusted to the leadership of Aragorn. You have to admit, though, that the things that I cited definitely gives Lorien an ambiguous feel. Nowhere else were they basically brought by force before the Lord and/or Lady of any realm.
