oops, forgot to post here because my brain is fried by horrendous sticky heat (I wrote this on the beach the other day, while there was still air!)
Monday morning in Moria. Viggo's under orders to turn away from the cameras,
hiding his black eye. Sean's silent after a weekend dodging time zones on
the telephone. Orlando's watching them.
Sometimes it hurts less to look at life in two dimensions: the inverse of
those optical illusions where a third dimension leaps out of a coloured
pattern. Orlando makes himself watch them as though they're just a film.
Wishes he could hear the dialogue. Sean's confessing, Viggo's listening. Or
is it Aragorn listening to Boromir?
Their words and silences, the way they lean together, leave no space for
him.
