| Oh, this is funny -- although I see a need for some serious diplomacy, too. I'm glad to see Alfirin in charge. I like her in that role, and I notice that Thranduil seems to appreciate her efforts, too. Loved the belch. Go, Leggy. One question, though. I thought the age difference between Eilian and Legolas was more like 60 years than 40. I thought that in A Spring of Joy, Legolas observed that Sinnarn was closer to him in age than Eilian was. But here you make the age difference between Legolas and Sinnarn the same as the age difference between Legolas and Eilian. Or am I remembering things wrong? Author Reply: Oh crap! You're right about the age. I hurried right over and changed it. I have a son and I've spent years wondering how old guys have to be before they think a really loud belch is a witty remark. I don't know yet. | |

| This chapter should come with a drink warning. I nearly washed my monitor when I read what Legolas did to discourage the ellyn that his aunt had brought with her to the begetting day party. I know it was very impolite, but how like a young adult. I have a feeling Legolas is going to be regretting what he did when the family finds out. Welcome back. All my favorite characters from your stories in one place and for once not worrying about fighting orcs and spiders. I am already curious in what is in that tacky silk bag. Is everyone going to be trying to sneak a peek before Thranduil opens his presents? Author Reply: I figure guys of all races should be able to generate a good belch when they want to. Eru knows the ones I see on a daily basis can do it and think it's witty. No orcs or spiders in this at all. Just some fairly broad comedy that I had a good time writing. The bag will reappear. | |

| I have to admit that I squeed when I saw you had another story started, and once I started reading I was grinning ear to ear. I LOVE that there is so much Thranduil content *grin* and Aunt Glilan trying to play matchmaker with Legolas and some maiden from her village is hilarious. Of course, the last line had me rolling! I can't wait for the next chapter! I'm still laughing! Author Reply: I let myself go a little writing this and decided I'd just have a good time! So I dragged out just about every character I'd ever created and threw them all together to annoy one another. I'm glad you liked it, Gwyn. I was shameless and laughed while writing it, so it's good to hear others reacted that way too. | |
