the sound of her voice

[threeplusfire]

I sat in the theater on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

The scene where Arwen and Aragorn speak for the last time before the Fellowship departs from Rivendell gets to me. Especially when he offers her the jewel back, and she says, "Keep it. It was a gift." I haven't quite figured out how much pain that was, and how much anger, and how much of it jsut has to come from being a creature so old and utterly different. But I like that moment more and more.
