Thank you for indulging me in the past few days’ stroll through Tolkien.
Every time I’ve finished Return of the King, I’ve always found mysel wondering about the royal gardener assigned to the new White Tree…just sweatin’ it out, terrified of root rot, etc, etc. So this was a fun little character arc to indulge in.
Everyone else in Gondor all happy ‘n excited that Sauron’s gone…and this one dude just FILLED with anxiety.
