Bravo! Bravo!! Bravissimo!!!

A lovely tale. I love the understanding of boys and the burdens they bear as they become men. Yes, let them have their silliness, their tussles and their ill-said words while they may.

A wonderful story, Pipkin!

Ah, how darling! From Elboron's description of how the poop deck came to its name to the reunion with the children's fathers, to the naming of the small ship...

And it was such a pleasure to see Stevenson's poem here!

Yes, a lovely tale to read (and read again!)!

Wow! This was exceedingly well-written, and the first Lothiriel-pov fic I've come across that's not shippy!

The notion of Elboron taking to the Sea just as thoroughly as Eowyn rejects it was highly amusing, as well as Elanor's "perspicacious" comment: she does seem to be the type that would try to use Big Words as soon as possible, if not sooner!

And Pippin, managing to slip nuggets of wisdom amid all his mirth, was perfect (though possibly not that comment at the end, *grin*!).

So there were so many different little things that made this entire tale enjoyable. Thank you!
