Thank you so much! :) Oh yes, he's more than capable of a right royal strop! (But there's some genuine anguish, too).

Thank you for your lovely comment! Although I think Aldarion must have been difficult to live with, I do feel really sorry for him too - especially when the sea-longing comes upon him and he can hardly breathe, or sleep. So I have him honestly believing that he'll fall apart if he doesn't get away... :( 

Thank you so much for commenting! I'm very happy you think I've managed to capture Aldarion. :) All those sea-related title prompts were a great help to me.

Thank you so much for reading and for your lovely comment! It made me think, in a way I hadn't quite before, that the sea and what it represents is life-giving to Aldarion, and that he's diminished when away from it.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. :) Since we know that Gil-galad regarded Aldarion highly, I like to think the feeling was mutual - and I'm coming to think that Aldarion sometimes wished he'd been one of the Eldar, without the pressures of time or expectation of producing an heir experienced by mortals. He must have found Gil-galad, and Cirdan, very soothing company, I think (there was an AoA discussion about this a while back which got me started on the idea!)
