I love how uncertain and insecure Ecthelion is; especially thinking that letter might have been "inappropriately intimate!" 

I like Loswe; I like her guilty reasoning for reading Glorfindel's letter, and especially her unflinching and unhesitating support of her son and his decisions, even if they make her sad. 

And Glorfindel! He watched Ecthelion read the letter through a hole in the wall? Haha! I can see why Loswe was concerned about him being listless...it's not his natural state, huh?

Anyway, this was a pleasure to read!

 

Thank you so much, again!

I like Loswe too, which is good, as OCs scare me. But I think she makes sense as my Glorfindel's mother. And yes, he is not a very passive person, in general.

As for Ecthelion... there is insecurity there, for sure (well, Glorfindel has been alive now for longer than the two of them were ever together, so who knows what he has been up to, plus he has not replied to the letter) but he is also being deliberately careful, in that letter, to spare them both potential embarassment by phrasing things in such a way that they can both pretend he was talking only about friendship...
