Leaving home; Coming Home  by Mirkwoodmaiden 4 Review(s)

But how can we keep her waiting if she doesn’t know quite when we are coming? Telion is eminently logical. And I love that he came up with the design ideas, which are pure genius!

And the transformed bracelet, not plundered for its stones but somehow enhanced in its testimony of love.

Beautifully done!

((hugs)) I hope this finds you well.

Hello! Yeah! Poor Master Taethion, he is rather sleep-deprived and not thinking straight. Telion, having worked him and knows him well sees that logic will not prevail at this time and chooses Falstaff's line of thinking, that discretion is the better part of valour.

Taethion is a good master though, he let Telion have a say in the design because clearly Eowyn favoured him.

I love to create jewelry and explain its significance! I actually do make jewelry. I just thought having unique rings would be a nice touch and it was fun to think about! wee-hee!

"And the transformed bracelet, not plundered for its stones but somehow enhanced in its testimony of love." What can I say, Master Taethion is Arwen's favourite jeweler for a reason. He is damn good! :-)) But also a tad sleep-deprived at present!

Next: Faramir and Eowyn's wedding!!

Hope this review finds you and yours safe and well!!

((hugs)) Mellon nin!

Beautiful and so touching. I loved the details of the rings and the hinting of a little romance between Telion and the domestic. I am so in, please don’t stop writing.

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to write. It really means a lot!

Thank you for the kind words. I have really had a wonderful time writing this! Showing Faramir and Eowyn happy! Bringing Eomer and Lothiriel falling in love!
I imagine Telion to be sixteen kinda an earnest and gawky teenager with a good heart. I think the maid possibly can see that as well. :-))

I love describing jewelry and its significance, I don't know why!

Next: Faramir and Eowyn's wedding!

Thanks again!

Stay safe.

Oh my, this wonderful experience would be "past imagining" indeed. I love this chapter!

Your ring has the tree of Gondor and the Lord Faramir’s has the Rohirrim horse. That is to symbolize that you are now part of each other’s world. Also the gold of Rohan and the silver of Gondor meeting and interweaving to make up the band.

This is pure genius. :)

Hello! Thanks so much for writing back and so glad you liked it! I was looking forward to writing this chapter, but Eomer and Lothiriel had to fall in love first! LOL! I wanted to bring back Taethion and Telion, common people living in Minas Tirith. And then get to do one of the two things I love describing jewelry and its significance (bizarrely I love do this) And doing it in Telion's excited voice was quite fun!

You always manage to highlight a passage that rings true for me as well, as a central core of what I am writing! *smile*

Next: The Wedding (another thing I love to do create ceremonies and write about them!

Stay Safe Mellon nin!
