    Doesn’t change the fact they had the same (step)father, and Aragorn respected Elrond immensely. Also, pardon the Freudianism, but it’s kinda weird how the idealized finale to Béren and Luthien’s tale of love featured quasi-incest in Tolkien’s mind.

      They have been adults the whole time they’ve known each other. Theres no reason for them to view each other as siblings in any way shape or form.

        There’s a whole philosophical debate I could get into here, but that’d be a waste of time.
