386 – Got to Get You into My Life

Aldarion runs headlong into contentment and doesn’t even recognize it; Alan and Sara run headlong into more bad jokes and don’t particularly care. Join The Man of the West and The Shieldmaiden of Rohan as we find ourselves moving swiftly through our 10-part series on Aldarion and Erendis from Unfinished Tales. Meneldur takes Aldarion’s cell phone, turns off the Wi-Fi, and stops giving him an allowance; Erendis’ name might be a little on the nose, but we’re sure it will have no effect whatsoever on her future life; and Valandil accidentally puts his foot in his mouth. We offer relationship advice, dive deep into a discussion of duty and desire, and wonder about the differences between Tar-RedFlag and Tar-RestrainingOrder. Also, Alan fights his self-control and loses baaaadly.
