Thank you. I spent ages trying to work out how to end it - longer than it took to write the 500 words in the end.
Poor Gimli - from an earlier story -
Gimli had dismounted and was walking around ‘to stretch his legs’. Elrohir knew that, when the dwarf had said this in the past, Legolas had joked that if he stretched them sufficiently he would find riding a pleasure...
And, a little later in the same journey -
“We will eat,” Legolas spoke in the Common Tongue, “and take care of bodily functions.”
“Aye, and stretch our legs,” Gimli added.
Rumil couldn’t think what Gimli might do to make his, all-too-short, legs longer in the time they would rest. Elladan must have seen the puzzlement cross his face, he came and stood beside Rumil and explained.
