However, it is part of the 'tapestry-weaving' because the emotions are simliar, and Mellondu relates to Amroth's search. SO to Amroth, it has a Nimrodel-ish feeing to it (although, again, I was befuddled about Nimrodel's hair color, so if I had it to do over again, I would have started her out with some sort of golden halo... maybe the sun reflecting off of the water behind her giving her hair a golden appearance, or something... maybe I'll edit that...)

This would be the moment which Amroth would remember Mellonin from, and I should have picked up on it... would have been a nice touch. I just forgot. Wonder if I can tuck it in someplace.
