| *chuckle* I believe "Ada" is not too happy at the moment - this elfling is not only sweet and tender-hearted, but also wise and bright! And stubborn. *g* Aha! It WAS Legolas!!! He's sooo adorable as an elfling (well, not only as an elfling, but still...hehe.) *huggles little elfling for the umptienth time* I loved this background on him and Thranduil. Reading this, it is a miracle Thranduil didn't tear Sarambaq to pieces for laying a hand on his son - on the other hand he did, in a way. ;-) “Some hearts never grow old, and some things live on through the Ages.” *sigh* I guess this is a quote for every day. I love it! I only wish Aragorn could live on forever. There's a foreshadowing in this ending that reminds me too much of the price Legolas will have to pay for his love. *sigh* Not that that would make it less beautiful. You are a great storyteller, mellon-nin. *bows solemnly to author* And I think I will have a lot of elves (and elflings!) in my dreams tonight. Almut Author Reply: Yes, Almut - it was Legolas. Is it any wonder then that the elfling was so adorable and huggable? :-) THank you for your wonderful support. Enjoy your elfy dreams. | |

| Oh, I love the low-key way you ended this. No high drama, just a normal evening with friends enjoying each other's company, and the trials and adventures they've been through together are implied by the ease of their interaction. One can imagine many such evenings in the years after the war. Very, very nice. I look forward to your next. ~TF Author Reply: Thank you, TF - I thought a 'low-key' ending, as you put it so well, an appropo (spelling?) ending to a bedtime story series. After all, little ones are asleep and one must tip-toe out quietly. :-) I look forward to hearing fro you again, too, whenever the next tale begins. I really appreciate your presence and support. | |

| I really liked the tender treatment of children here, the care for their characters as well as their bodies, and the thoughtful way their elders dealt with them. Lovely. Author Reply: Thank you very much, Daw. I enjoyed creating (What I felt to be) wonderful interactions between the grown-ups and children, and it's gratifying to know that the thoughtfulness and respect for the children come across. Thanks for letting me know. | |

| Now that was a nice suprise at the end. I hadn't figured out that Legolas was the little elf, though I suppose I should have. I like your portrayal of him as a small elfling, so many times he is portrayed as aloof & perfect but I figured he must have been a little bit devilish(is that a word?). I mean, come on his best friends are Aragorn & the twins. As Always, keep writing. Eliza Author Reply: Legolas was more than a thousand years younger in this story - that's gotta show somehow, lol. :-) Thanks for your support. Hear from you again when the next story is up, I hope. | |
