Allllllriiiiight! Frolicking elves and water and splashing and dunking Haldir - and fresh fish by a campfire surrounded by said elves!!!! *deeeeeep sigh* (of course I won't mention the absence of swimming apparel :D) *hyperventilates at the thought* Great chapter, jenolas, am really enjoying the fun!

Ah, elves frolicking in water. Delightful.

Who knew the Galadhrim were so lighthearted?! I love that they are so at ease with Haldir and even Celeborn and vice-versa. It shows a real camaraderie. The cheek of Elrohir to imitate his grandfather. It’s a good thing Celeborn was feeling forgiving that day. And what a loyal bunch of guards he has that they’ll even “capture” their lord’s grandsons. Legolas seems to have taken Celeborn’s words to heart and is calling him by his name, as well as seeming more relaxed around him. If I were Legolas, though, I’d have taken Celeborn’s remark as a challenge and promptly attacked Haldir & co.! He appears to be left out of the fun a little.

Glorfindel and Erestor seem utterly engrossed in their game. It must have been a bit strange to suddenly realise that they’d been completely abandoned by everyone! I had to laugh at Erestor being so compassionate about Glorfindel’s “disfigurement”. I do love the teasing that goes on between the two of them. So Celeborn, Glorfindel and Erestor have wandered back to the glade? You *have* to have a chapter with those three together!:)


Author Reply: I guess Legolas is a little reluctant to join in since he does not know the others all that well, and especially when you consider he says he has never been to Lothlorien.

As for having a chapter about the other three, I am working on it right now. Besides how can an elder elf fancier such as myself refuse to do anything else...hmmm ( or, more correctly, yummmm!!)

Very entertaining. :-) Oi! Nothing like mocking in elder only to discover they are listening. ;-)

Author Reply: Indeed, Elrohir should have been more careful. I am sure he will be next time!

I have to admit my first reaction was "Naked Elves! Yes!" But all in all, this lot had a good time on their little expedition to the woods, and I enjoyed the opportunity to see it.

Author Reply: Naked by implication, (or imagination certainly....*smile*), and having good, clean fun, as one would expect. I am pleased to give a little glimpse into the lighter side.

I just love the atmosphere of this story. Naughty wet elves having fun in the forest and playing in the water. It's great to have them all enjoying themselves without battle and torture and general agony. And they are just all so gorgeous.

Author Reply: I imagine Elves like to be carefree and light hearted as much as anyone else, especially now that most of the dangers they would normally have to be wary of have passed.
