Oh! This is another that's stayed with me, the image of Maglor mooching about on Himling, gathering mementos, and then abandoning them at the very last. (Maybe because I too am a magpie for old and broken, rough and worn "treasures".) So lovely to revisit this, and finally leave a comment!

ETA that the idiot thinking that he can't just rock up on Elrond's doorstep now, with or without a collection of excuses just makes me want to shake him! But there, again, I empathise; it's hard when you've got so much emotional turmoil inside.
