Summary
Gimli bit back an oath and hauled on the dead-weight of Legolas’s waist, heaving him up to drape him more solidly over his shoulders again. “Mahal, you have done a number on yourself, haven’t you,” he muttered. His own amusement was slipping away from him as surely as Legolas’s body, and Gimli only had the concentration to keep one of them from crashing to the ground. “What prompted this?”
Legolas did not answer this question either.
When they discover Legolas in the aftermath of a night of drinking, Gimli and Aragorn learn that the sea-longing has been wearing on their friend's soul more heavily than he has shared with them. Though they can't take away his pain, they can at least be there to take him home and comfort him afterwards - and for as long as they can.
