Prompt: the cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea

Fourth Age 121, South Ithilien

"My mother's people always say 'the cure for anything is salt water,'" said Legolas to Gimli. "We are putting that ancient adage to the test these days."

"We have tried the tears," replied Gimli, looking over his shoulder upriver, toward the north. He sighed again for the restored splendor of Elessar, reposing eternally in Rath Dínen this last year.

"We have tried the sweat," continued Legolas, grasping the rudder of his little ship, smoothly carved of Ithilien birch, as the deck rocked beneath their feet.

"And now we must try the sea," finished Gimli, as he cast off the line.
