Perky Ent -- I like your proposed first post, but I'm afraid that I'm going to have to ask that you alter it somewhat.

You have Ambarturion behaving in what seems like a bit of a submissive manner to your character. Ambarturion will always be extraordinarily polite -- particularly to the ambassador that he's been assigned to protect -- but he would never cow-tow to anyone! He's very very proud (to a flaw, actually). Also, he would never turn away from somebody in embarassment -- he's far too self-possessed.

If you would like there to be some kind of friction between the two, that's fine with me (I love friction!) but as far as Ambarturion is concerned, he and Galadion are equals and peers (if anything, he would probably disapprove of your character somewhat for 'abandoning' Celeborn for Cirdan!). The only people in the whole of Middle-Earth whom he looks up to as being his superiors are Celeborn and Galadriel. . .this rather unpleasant aspect of his character will come into play as we go along.
