The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies Movie Quotes Starters

     “Make peace with what you have and have not done and face it with dignity, I suppose,” she mused.  It was an odd thing to be sitting on a raised ledge and to still have to look up to make eye contact with the other elf.  There were not many that were quite so tall as he and it could make carrying on conversations interesting and a little painful (her poor neck).

      It was difficult to think of the hypothetical of death but it was equally difficult to recall moments where death had seemed like a certainty.  She had survived moments that others had not but Belenwen remembered them fondly and with pride.  They had done just that: faced it with dignity and had not gone quietly or without struggle.   None had simply allowed death to take them.

"Pardon me?" her head canted to the side ever so slightly even as her brow furrowed.  Had she really heard him correctly?  The Lord surely had been speaking in jest but even when she looked over to him, his expression was grim.  For a moment she hoped it was the play of light upon his features that was accentuated by their height difference but there was no such luck.  

He had meant it.  He was truly being that self depreciating.  

Belenwen huffed, a quick rush of air through her nose as she twisted to punch his bicep with none too little force.  "I have never known you to think of yourself or speak of yourself in such an ill manner and I certainly will not tolerate it now when it is hardly accurate," she snapped.  

"I think love is a bit strong," Belenwen quirked a brow as she glanced up to the taller lord.  He was among those she would readily and gladly count among her friends and allies but she would not go so far as to hazard using 'love' as a word to describe Galdor.
