| After just reading Nilmandra's story, it's a relief to see the twins (almost) healed here. I really liked the similarities between the openings of your two chapters - that was a nice touch. The twins' amazement that Miriwen can actually tell them apart is good too - no Confusion there! Elladan is definitely showing signs of interest - and he's a little worried at Legolas's easy relationship with her. I like the way he sends Elrohir to check out the name thing - though Elrohir really wasn't very subtle about it, was he? Elrond and Miriwen spotted immediately that he had ulterior motives. Please, please tell us what Elladan and Legolas were up to - and where was Elrohir at the time? The tale of Legolas and the knife-juggling would be good to see one day, too. Thanks for the unexpected update to this story, Bodkin. Jay Author Reply: I think instantly telling the twins apart is quite a rare skill. Rare enough to be interesting - although the depth of Elladan's interest suggests something else! Legolas and Elrohir were probably rather bored by the whole thing - and wanting to get their part out of the way. Elrond would spot ulterior motives, I think. Too much experience of his boys. And Miriwen - despite her efforts - is too interested in Elladan not to find his brother's behaviour a little suspicious. What were they up to? They haven't said. Yet. And knife-juggling - which Beliond indulges in - seems just exactly the kind of activity E2L would have attempted at some stage. The update surprised me, too. But I think that's it. Although, of course, I said that before! | |

| Oh what a nice thing to wake up to! I greatly enjoyed the first chapter of this and am glad to see what happened once they all got to Valinor. Her being able to tell them apart turned out to be a nice clue to her feelings. The twins and Legolas are a hoot together. Author Reply: I'm only too glad to brighten a morning! I never intended to take it further - the 800ish years seemed a bit of a big gap - but Elladan just came up with that line (about having been known by the name for some while) and so it began. I basely stole knife juggling, though. Thanks, daw and Beliond. It just seemed the kind of activity that this lot would have engaged in. And Legolas is healed and settled (and with an eye for a certain red-headed Noldor) which must be a help in getting the twins adjusted. And Miriwen can tell them apart without even looking. Which puts her on a par with Celebrian and Arwen. And Galadriel, of course. I love doing E2L. (In fact there was a line here that sent me straight off to produce a Reflection.) Thank you. | |
