"I'd recommend that you make an effort to talk to as many people as you can. The more of us you know, the more likely that people will ask you for help in a dicey situation and the more likely it is that you'll get help if it's you who are in trouble. Get involved in your team's affairs. Post an intro on Voidtreckernet, so all the rest of the passengers can get to know you. Reply to other people's posts, and get involved in whatever projects might interest you. Best advice I can give."
He listened to the tale of Glorfindel's involvement in the arrival of the hobbits at the valley of Rivendell. "These Ringwraiths sound like evil spirits who were servants of Sauron, or slaves. I know little about them, but I honor you for jumping in to oppose them and protect Frodo and his friends. If the Ringwaiths were anything like Morgoth's servants, then it is well that you were there! The hobbits and this Aragorn were unlikely to have made it to safety without you."
And as for the end of the tale of the Silmarils: "Yes, Turgon's daughter Idril married a mortal, Tuor. Their son was Eärendil, and I can well believe you saved him and others from certain death during Morgoth's attack on Gondolin. Their children, Elrond and Elros. . . well, maybe that's a story for another time -- their connection with my brothers Maglor and Maedhros. When the time came for the half-Elven sons of Elwing and Eärendil to choose whether to be Elvish or mortal, I can imagine that Elrond experienced it as a great loss when his brother chose to throw in his lot with mortals and be one of them." And then, to lose his daughter as well?
"Good for you, Glorfindel! I believe this Witch-King could not have had worse luck than to be attacked by an Elvish army with you as their leader!" Curufin put his hands together and applauded. "True, though we are contemporaries, you were a living Elf for more years than I was. I can't claim to be older that 2805 years." And he grinned back at Glorfindel. "Practice makes perfect, as the saying goes."
