This story always makes me smile and cry.  First time I read it I was so scared and sad for poor Erestor.  But I absolutely love it.  It was a crazy twist to have Haldir shoot Erestor (during that scene I was whispering "No, Haldir, you dufus, that's no injured animal"), and an unexpected revelation that he wasn't so upset with Erestor as he was with himself.

And as for Erestor - it was lovely to see into his mind.  I just wonder when 'someday' may be?
