WWXLV: The Fellowship of Saruman

[Thinlómien]

"Fair lady Galadriel, you said

"My dear Gildor, I would like it if you would explain in further dept what you find so suspicouse of Elrohir's relationship with Radagast. I would also like to know why you did not include Elrohir's statements(or lack of) in your speech?

and I'm happy to oblige and elaborate.

Elrohir and Radagast's relationship was supicious in my opinion, because Radagast echoed Éomer's questioning of Elrohir's vote - note, he did not ask it first but re-asked the question. This loooks like distancing himself from his companion. Also, his dismissal of Elrohir's odd vote and suspiciousness looks dubious, as well as his defense of Elrohir when Iarwain talked of lynching him. I am now referring to his words about Elrohir needing time and people putting words to his mouth. That is, in short, what I find suspicious.

As for Elrohir's lack of statements..." There was a merry glint in Gildor's eyes and if an Elf-lord could look embarrassed, he did. "It seems I forgot it, my lady. But that merely means that he did not say anything about Radagast."
