No. It does not. [ she wonders, though, how elves spend all those years, and how much more difficult it is to lose their loved ones - not after spending so much time in their company. ]
Yes, a matter to which one must take action, not grieve over. [he's got plenty of canned lembas over here. B| eugh.]
It is only for a week. They come back, it seems. [nevertheless, it will likely be jarring. he's accepted the fact that mortals die, has been warned about it even. perhaps it will soften the impact, if only a little bit. perhaps it will not.]
Oh, but grieving doesn't have to be overlong. Just a moment or two of silence over labor wasted, and then take action. [ of course, it always depends on the hobbit. it can take days. weeks, even, for some. lolj/k ]
...they come back from the dead? [ that concept is utterly terrifying tho ]
I would rather not grieve over it at all. It leaves more time to acquire new stores. [merry you're not one of those that take weeks, are you..]
Perfectly whole and unmarred, as if they had never been harmed. Mostly. [doesn't freak legolas out much. reborn elves, and all that. though men and women are a far cry from elves.]
[ merry isn't one of those what are you talking about, he may take months especially if they are fruits of his almost non-existent labor. here he'll actually shake his head at legolas. disappointed hobbit is disappointed! ] Elves.
[for a moment there i thought you meant actual fruits and was like merry you have the patience to grow fruits??? i guess it still applies.]Hobbits. [stop being more endearing, dammit.]
I spoke with a man who came back. He lost his eyesight-- temporarily, I think. [legolas finds that more terrifying than dying itself.]

Of course I will, Frodo. But I will worry more for you than I do for myself.

[ pause. ]I feel as though I ought to apologize for my mundane's actions and for causing you undue grief. It has never been my intention.

You are truly fortunate to have been spared from it.

Often it is those left behind who suffer most. But it will not for long, in my case.

I have been made aware that deaths in the city will not be permanent.

As have I. I do not find it wholly unnatural. [except for the fact that they're not elves being reborn.] It is something of a comfort to know.
