[Finrod opens his mouth to answer, then closes it again, reconsidering. Once, he might have answered easily and without thought. But given the cause of his death- that he died giving his life for another, on a quest he knew was likely hopeless- perhaps he was not the best person to give this sort of advice.]

There are some who would say that I am not the sort you should ask- that I follow my heart far too readily. Do you still wish me to answer?

Yes. I would wish honesty rather than a lie to please my ears.

Then I will confess to having two different approaches. Ordinarily, I would advise placing logic and strategy in service of the heart. Passion and fervor have their place. Maintain mastery over them and they may be useful tools.

There are times, however, when something becomes more important than sound logic and strategy, than success- than life. [He gives a little shrug] But it is a choice.
