Thank you!

I have been wondering whether to write a second drabble to complement this one. I haven't made up my mind.

I think Voronwe's melancholy derives from some of what he says about the Sea in Unfinished Tales.

In the earlier piece about Erellont, I had made her female, following a suggestion by Elleth.

In this drabble, there are no pronouns referring to Erellont that indicate gender.
