Matters of the Heart

"I would hear your tale, if and when you wish to speak of it." I said to Parnard. And he told me he was fine. Then he told me the rest, and still I though thankfully he was mostly fine. Aye, there was a small matter that concerned him and I, but I tried to install hope. The way things were at the moment, I doubted he would have years of waiting ahead. 

And in the end, I told him a little of what was on my heart. I am not sure he could take it in. 

"You are to speak to no one of this. Especially not Sogadan, if you are again in Imladris." Had not Sogadan's tongue been mostly responsible for spreading tales about Estarfin after our 'friendly' spar, that had seen half the Vale look at him askew? 

"I will speak to no one," Parnard confirmed. And I knew he would not.
