Part Ten
Oropher sat in Bell’s tent. He was eating a bowl of her rabbit stew. He wondered where she got the carrots, potatoes and onions. No matter. The stew was good.
“How is he?” Bell asked him. “He won’t talk to me. He asked me to take care of them. I failed him.”
“Failed him? My dear Bell, you know as well as I do that we do not always control everything; we don’t control anything, for that matter. He is angry and grieving. He will survive. His son needs him and Thranduil will not shirk his duty, by his son or by his people.”
“You don’t think he hates me?”
“My dear Bell, who will help him raise that child, if not you?”
“You and his mother?”
“We are grandparents. We will spoil the child. You’ll have to stand in for his mother when he needs you. Tell me, is my grandson handsome?”
Bell smiled. “He is. He is fair haired like his father and as comely as his mother. He is a fine child.”
“I will be glad to be done with this war, to go home and meet him. Tell me, do you have any honey stashed away?”
