[The note is with Thranduil's mail. It's written in a regular, slightly loopy hand, on very fine white paper and black ink. The top of the page is ragged, truncated as if someone tore a strip away from the original length. It reads:]
Some time ago, you mentioned to me that I should find you 'after,' that you might have some particular insight to share. At the time, I chose not to understand your meaning, but there's no longer any avoiding some realities, no matter how unpleasant. If you wish to speak with me, you may have my time whenever yours is free to meet with it; what other work I might have done, those obligations are finished.
