Author's note: Thanks for the reviews...real short section
.....................................................
Tiger was going home to see Longma. Lord Celeborn and his grandsons weren't going, but Glorfindel and the Galadhrim were, as were Legolas and Gimli. King Aragorn wanted to come along, but the queen wouldn't let him. Their cub was due soon and she wanted him there to witness its birth. This seemed like a good idea to Tiger, who found that Dog was still the good listener that he had always been.
Glorfindel, riding point with Haldir, sometimes listened to her conversations with Dog and wondered if she knew Haldir was going to be leaving her at the Keep. She was under the impression that this was a simple visit, and Haldir was saying nothing to disuade her thinking.
At night, when they made camp, he would watch her sometimes when she was doing something else, and Glorfindel could have sworn there was a sorrow there he didn't understand. But the moment Tiger spotted him looking at her, he would break into an affectionate smile and take her hand in his and make her sit with her back against his body.
Haldir knew he needed to tell Tiger that he was leaving her at Longma's, but he didn't want to upset her. It was most certainly his intention to return her once she was able to travel again. Longma would be able to take better care of her and the baby than he. But sometimes he wondered if that was true. And a deep sense of loss would overtake him and he would hold her tigher and whisper tender words in her ears.
When Longma saw them riding up the trail to her keep, she knew.
