| The image of Gimli cutting Legolas's hair was striking. I think Elves were actually quite vain about their hair. I think that's in HoME somewhere but I'm at work so I can't look it up. And I'm glad we're getting back to Arwen's depression. She seems to have a real sense of loss. | |

| This was appropriately gruesome in places. Your description of the dead was chilling. But just as in Tolkien, a Hobbit saves the day. Legolas sounds very badly injured. I'm worried. Author Reply: Evil laugh. Ahh, elf torture. Such fun. I have a bit of fun making him better and Tolman helps - thanks for your loyal reviews, much appreciated. Rose | |

| Ai, poor Legolas! He really doesn't sound too good. Thank goodness Tolman has been trained as a healer. I've read this on ff.net, but I can't review there. I hope you continue the tale! Jay Author Reply: You are such a loyal reviewer, thank you. I will attempt to update daily, at least until I catch up with myself, then you'll just have to wait until I work out what happens!

| Very different view of things. Quite mature. You should be writing real world stuff. Seriously. Author Reply: Trouble is my real world stuff sucks, Lindy, unlike yours which rocks. Plus I have a day job and then what would I do for a hobby? Go work with disabled children and their families? No wait, that is my day job. Perhaps I'll keep the balance this way round until the great New Zealand novel gets up and hits me in the head. In the mean time I'll keep up with the elf and dwarf torture, and try not to take myself too seriously Thanks for the support. Previously and now. Rose | |

| Oh, yay. I adored Adagio and Mayflies, so I'm glad to see a sequel. You handled Arwen very well--she does strike me as someone who could be clinically depressed at the end of The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen. The bit about her "grey beast" was particularly sad. And Gimli's learned how to deal with horses, hmm? I liked the glimpse we get into what others think of their relationship--especially those bandits who go after Legolas to hurt Gimli. But he'll be okay, right? He has to be--it's only the first chapter! Author Reply: Evil laugh, I do so love elf torture. I am glad you like my Arwen, she is hard to get a handle on sometimes.

| What a gripping beginning! The idea of Arwen's depression at losing people was striking. I can see how that would take some getting used to, especially as she can see her own family aging. And the matter of the bandits is also interesting. Looking forward to more. Author Reply: Yep, this story just keeps falling into action/ adventure mode Rose | |
