"Can't be mind-controlled by the Enemy, that's the big one. Lúthien's dancing doesn't do anything for them. Can tell if someone's using spells, there are magic artifacts that alter personality and theirs are harder to alter..."
"Aulë designed them after Morgoth had started his wars, so he knew what to protect them against. Shame he didn't have much of an aesthetic sense."
"I know. But stunted trees aren't as pretty as fully-grown ones, to anyone."

"Frost giants can get about twice as tall as you are, on the high end, does that seem better still? Are children not adorable in their smaller sizes?"

"Then the installation probably doesn't have any grievous problems."

You could ask anyone, or head down to the gardens and pick what you'd like...

None of the people walking by are walking with any urgency. Then again, perhaps Elves don't walk urgently even if on their way to pressing meetings.

"Excuse me," says Loki to the nearest person. "If you're not pressingly occupied could you give me directions to the gardens?"
"Certainly! Down this way, third left, then second right, the light gets brighter so you'll know you're headed the right way."
