You're welcome? Thank you? I never know what to say when someone thanks me for sharing. (As you can see, Beren and Luthien aren't the only people who're socially awkward)

By Luthien's standards...well, she is the most beautiful woman in the world after all. It would be strange if anyone could match up to her, right? (*looks wildly around for nonexistent people*) And after centuries of life (and pretty people) I rather think that Beren was a breath of fresh air. (Also, completely shocked at the number of comments on those two words...) But Aragorn was called handsome, and I think that Tolkien compared his face to Beren's (really, the amount of vague Tolkien-related memories I have is frustrating. Looking up something...arrgh).

I tend to picture Luthien as isolating herself because everyone is falling over themselves to please her, which is overwhelming when 'everyone else' is eons-old and/or really wise and pretty and shiny. Also, she probably got tired of marriage proposals long ago (again, fresh air). Thingol's protectiveness wouldn't have helped either. Hence the awkwardness and shyness (also because amazing powers, beauty, and social capability is too much for one person? (I tend to get jealous a lot)). Beren, of course, is a no-brainer. Wandering alone in the wild and everything.

I've gone off on a tangent, but yes. Thank you :).
