Aldarion offers the usual assortment of excuses for his shortcomings, and delivers the mail to Meneldur; Alan and Sara offer no excuses for the PPP’s shortcomings, and wonder why Gil-galad hasn’t written to us. Join The Man of the West and the Shieldmaiden of Rohan as we continue our close readings in the story of Aldarion and Erendis in Unfinished Tales. Zamîn has “the talk” with Ancalimë; Erendis says ‘stop’, Aldarion says ‘go’; and Erendis looks for signs of regret in a man proving himself incapable of it. We wonder how much trouble Zamîn is in for naming Aldarion, express our appreciation of Meneldur’s counsel for his son, and note how incredibly easy it is to irk Aldarion. Also, Alan aspires to be a Sheep Lord.
