Talk:Farewell to Lorien

I have always wondered how it comes that Gimli and Legolas suddenly become best friends?!

In the book it's just like "after weeks in Lorien Gimli and Legolas have become best friends because they have spent a lot of time together".

Is this depicted in any other book or story that I don't know or did I miss anything while reading LotR? Any background information is much appreciate, I have always found this to be one of the major glitches in LotR. It just doesn't make sense!
