| Finished - very good indeed.... This led me back to Elf Interrupted One - gonna be reading for months! *giggles* Then will re-start reading Elf Two.... Blessings! Author Reply: Glad you enjoyed this story, Agape. And by all means, re-read Elf, Interrupted from the beginning. Even I have to do it once in a while to make sure I haven't committed any continuity errors or to see if I've forgotten to tie up a loose end somewhere. *grin* Enjoy yourself and thanks for reading and reviewing. | |

| Wow - what a treat for Finrod - to hunt with Lord Orome! I really think the Elf needs a sword in his hand. Kind of like Theoden... Author Reply: And this must be for chapter 21. Yes, it was a treat for Finrod. I'm sure a sword will be next. *grin* | |

| Oh! I'm about ready to slap somebody! Anybody!!!! Author Reply: Hmm.... I think you meant this for chapter 20 and not chapter 19. You have three separate reviews for chapter 19. You need to be a little more careful, I think. *grin* Anyway, I can understand your frustration with what happens in chapter 20. There are a lot of people needing to be slapped. | |

| I have always wondered at the love between Finrod and Men. It was a beautiful thing... This is a great chapter. Author Reply: Glad you liked this chapter, Agape. Thanks for letting me know. | |

| "Do you think if I wrote to Lord Námo for a set of instructions on the care and feeding of Reborn, I would get a reply?" he asked. I thought the same thing. I think it would be an instant best seller! As for Amarie - honestly - if she had gone to 'pick up' Finrod, I think they would have killed each other! Good thing the parents are always there to run interference. *chuckles* Author Reply: I'm sure every parent of a Reborn is wishing theirs came with an instruction manual. *grin* Amarie has a lot of growing up to do herself and we know it takes almost as long as it takes Finrod to mature emotionally. *teehee* Thanks for reviewing, Agape. I appreciate it and I am glad you are enjoying this story. | |

| Well, I feel like I'm finally back from Mandos. So good to be reading this again. It's fun to read something that is now complete. I don't have to sit and bite my nails anymore! "And now we get to see if we got it right all over again." Well - IMHO - they did a fine job. As did you in writing his story and this chapter... Oh - and his betrothed is a pip, isn't she! *giggles* Author Reply: Hi Agape. I'm glad you are finally able to finish reading this story. It is nice when a story is complete and you can just read one chapter after another, isn't it? *grin* Anyway, I think Finrod's parents did a fine job, too, and yes, his betrothed is a pip. *grin* Thanks for reading and letting me know how much you enjoyed this chapter (and story). I appreciate it. | |

| Really love the way the relationship between Finrod and his parents, particularly his father, develops. And it seems Amarië is finally coming around, too. About time, if you ask me. *lol* Now, the end of the chapter sounds very familiar ;-) Thank you so much for another wonderful story! I've enjoyed it very much. Author Reply: You're very welcome, Kitty. I am so glad you enjoyed this story so much. Thanks for all your comments. I really appreciated them. | |

| Ah, so Aldurilmon's attempt at having Finrod's ruling overturned has backfired? Good *eg* Well, I can't really blame Finrod for not being too happy about Amarië's return, considering how badly they got along before her departure. And I can't say I was impressed with the way she inquired first about his more 'elflingish' actions. Need I to mention that I enjoyed that horse case? I'd say Finrod made the right decision; if Caliondo can't keep his stallion under control, he will have to bear the consequences. (Though I know from experience there *are* horses who get out of everything - can you imagine a farm with half a dozen of that sort?) Now I have to agree with Rúmilion; Amari&eum; could have been nicer. That bit about Finrod still being a Reborn was uncalled for and has nothing to do with the fairness of his rule in this case. And Rúmilion's parting remark was *so* true! That's what I was thinking often enough - why should Finrod want to marry her when all she does is belittling him? Author Reply: I thought you would enjoy the horse case, Kitty, as I'm sure anyone who owns one would have. *grin* We had one or two such horses (and one particular pony) on the farm ourselves, so it's not too uncommon an experience. Amarië has a lot of growing up to do herself, but we know that in the end she does. Her attitude isn't unique. How often do we look at a person (perhaps from high school) and all we remember about them was what a jerk/idiot/snob,etc. they were and we see them that way now, years afterwards, and don't take into consideration that perhaps over the years they've changed? Happens all the time even within families. | |

| You certainly did cook up an interesting first case for Finrod to judge. It was fun to follow his interrogation and final judgment. Certain people should have gained some respect for him from that; he certainly went to the bottom of the problem and made sure both parties got what they deserved - or rather, all three parties. I quite enjoyed this chapter. Author Reply: Thanks, Kitty. I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter and Finrod's first case. I'm sure that by the end of the court session many people were re-evaluating their opinions about him and seeing him in a whole different light. | |

| Amarië should have praised Finrod for showing such wisdom; instead she opened her mouth and inserted her foot in it. Will she never learn? I don't blame him for not wanting to marry her. Author Reply: Ack! I can't believe I missed seeing this review when it first was posted, Tari. I've been re-reading this story and making some minor corrections and looking over reviews, which is how I saw I hadn't replied to yours. Mea culpa. At any rate, you are correct about Amarië and we do know that eventually she does learn -- the hard way. | |
