“Poor Boromir! I could not see what happened to him. It was a sore trial for such a man: a warrior and a lord of men. Galadriel told me that he was in peril. But he escaped in the end. I am glad. It was not in vain that the young hobbits came with us, if only for Boromir’s sake.” 

like would he have confessed and received the absolution for trying to take the ring had he not been dying? that he made up for his sins in the only way he could be defending the weak who could not defend themselves and giving his life for them? 

(also maybe i’m extrapolating the kiss of absolution but it makes me cry and i think the Conquering is not just the many orc he slaughtered but overcoming the Ring even though he did succumb to it --- and it’s from a King and Healer so--

“   ---     the  whole  entire  thing  is  dangerous.     i’m  dangerous ,     he’s  dangerous ,     it’s  dangerous.    ya  gettin’  it  yet,  baby ?   ”      kristen’s  face  isn’t  neutral ,     no  smooth  smile.     it’s  all  annoyed  facial  expressions.      the  hand  in  a  cast  clutched  against  her  stomach.    she’s  still  so  fucking  deadly  with  just  one  hand.    she’s  tired  of  people  entering  this  war ,     tired  of  aiden  kane’s  manipulation ,     tired  of  losing  lives.     she’s  just  so  damn  exhausted.     face  is  still  bruised  too ,     vibrant  green  eyes  flashing  so  fully  with  emotion.    it’s  such  a  rare  occurrence  that  she’d  ever  let  someone  into  her  hotel  room  that  wasn’t  Thoth  resistance  or  she’s  trying  to  fuck.    it’s  either  right  now ,     it’s  just  accepting  a  little  help.    and  she’s  not  quite  sure  what  would  have  come  next.    quietly  asking  elsa  to  leave ,    just  leaving  herself  but  the  taller  woman  pressed  a  kiss  to  her  upper  lip.     the  same  fucking  lip  that  just  trembled  because  that’s  her  DAMN  SCAR.     kristen  sighs.     doesn’t  say  a  single  sarcastic  thing ,     doesn’t  raise  her  voice ,     just  bows  her  head.
