| This is getting better and better. Two more stories to know Dannenion'f fate? My, you really want to make us suffer... And where is Galithil's brother? I really liked him, he was so guilt ridden after his parents dead. He was a character that I liked a lot. Hopefully, we will see a litle more of him? Author Reply: :-) I definitely like to make you wonder what will happen. :-) And yes, Dolgailon will be back in the next story. He has a fairly large role in it, tied to his continuing guilt, actually. Thanks so much for the reviews! I appreciate them so much! | |

| Poor Legolas. All he wanted was a little cuddle and Aewen dumped him and he got the blame. Where's the fairness in that? No wonder he felt like punching everyone. But OMG, I was reading along thinking of how grown up Galithil is getting and then he came out with the claim that the First Year needed a lesson. So, first of all, someone needs to tell him, that Aewen made up her own mind and this "snot" isn't responsible for her actions, only his own. And second, ack! I was thinking after the last chapter that I felt sorry for Anastor and Noruil. They're starting to come around and be decent and I was afraid their fathers were going to ruin their lives. But I figured it would be in the future. I suppose an "intervention" to keep Galithil from marrying Maidhien would sort of be in the future too, but basically, Thranduil didn't even have to wait and set spies of these guys to have an excuse to get rid of them. Thranduil was funny in his oblivion to Legolas courting Aewen. And by the time his wife broke the news, it was too late anyway. I thought it was very sweet that Lindomiel found her son's courting "charming." And in turn, Thranduil was sweet in what he hopes for Maidhien. A family and a good one. Just what she needs. It was interesting to see how quickly her change in status had been communicated to the guards. She gets to go right in and see the king in his nightie! Author Reply: Hehe! We can't have Galithil being too mature, can we? ;-) And I'm glad to see your thoughts on Anastor and Noruil. They have some tough times ahead of them. And Maidhien definitely does. Very true. She gets to go right in and see the king in his nightie! ROTFL! I am bad to say that that comment conjured in my mind a much...more interesting, is how I will phrase it...picture than the one I intended Maidhien to see? ;-) (or the one you likely intended when you used the term 'nightie' but I guess I am in a silly mood this morning). But yes, Thranduil does want her to feel part of the family. He needs a daughter. :-) Thanks so much for the reviews. I appreciate them so much! | |

| Great chapter, I don't have too much time to review ( I'm reading at work!) but I just wanted to say that Thranduil motto should be "Where Dreams come true" And again, poor Legolas. Author Reply: Hehe! Reading at work is great when you can get away with it. :-) Glad you enjoyed it. Thranduil is great, isn't he?! Thanks so much for the reviews. I really appreciate them! | |

| Thranduil is really cunning. With his concession he has ended this dreadful stand-off. If Dannenion acts against his King now Thranduil can also act accordingly and banish him for good. Serves him right. And poor Legolas. I feel sorry for him right now. Another great chapter. Thank you so much. Lai Author Reply: Thranduil is looking forward to getting rid of Dannenion once and for all. The actual outcome (which we won't see for at least two more stories) will surprise him. :-) Poor Legolas, indeed. His day has been rough and it is only going to get worse. Thanks so much for the reviews! I really appreciate them! | |

| You have to love Thranduil. He's tough as they come. Except: Maidhien's expression would have brought Thranduil to his knees LOLOL. As I believe he observed in the last chapter, it's a good thing he doesn't have a daughter. He knows Dannenion, though. He sees what will move him and what won't. So he tries love as a motivator first but isn't surprised when he has to move on. If I were him, I wouldn't trust Dannenion either. His eagerness to hang around court when he hates Thranduil can't be good. I liked this too: "Please explain to me why you find Galithil so objectionable," he said, changing tactics, "while he is still young enough that I might endeavor to correct any character flaws you see in him." If I were Galithil, I might have flinched at that one. I liked his hesitation over whether he should stand when Dannenion starts giving him orders, the way he would for Thranduil. The use of body position to mark dominance, respect, etc, is foreign to us for the most part, but it's interesting. I think we react to it even though it's unfamiliar because it's body based. And speaking of body based, I laughed at Thranduil's reaction to the suggestion Galithil and Maidhien had been too cozy. Eirienil is unlikely to thank Maidhien for announcing that she's been kissing boys. It's a good thing Legolas isn't there to hear the start of the news about Aewen. Though given what comes later, perhaps he would have appreciated the warning. This made me laugh: In fact, Thranduil had appeared quite eager to get he and his cousins out of the family quarters. Legolas wondered if that had anything to do with the fact that his naneth was due back to the stronghold at any moment and might take Thranduil to task for agreeing to a betrothal without even speaking to her. Not that Lindomiel would object, but Legolas imagined she would not be pleased to be completely left out of the decision either and he suspected that omission had occurred to his father rather belatedly. Maybe Thranduil should kick her in the ankle. Legolas had a sobering talk with Tulus. That was very moving. But then Conuion makes a good point about how Tulus was supposed to be the one with judgment while Legolas is still young. I guess some things can't be undone. Author Reply: Hehe! Yep, that conversation ultimately ended well for Galithil, but it had to be uncomfortable for him a several points, and certainly the two you pointed out. I imagine Galithil definitely would have preferred for Thranduil to go without learning about the swimming incident. :-) And you're right that Maidhien was a little blunt to make Eirienil happy. Legolas would have killed her if she'd been allowed to finish her sentence. ;-) Maybe Thranduil should kick her in the ankle. ROTFL!! I'm glad the conversation with Tulus came off ok. That is the part I fussed with the most here. This was a serious mistake on both Legolas and Tulus's part, but it seems there are at least some extenuating circumstances for both of them too. I'm glad Conuion has to deal with it and not me. ;-) Thanks so much for the reviews daw. I appreciate them so much! | |

| Awww! this chapter was aboslutely great on so mnay lines!!! First, I loved Thranduil's cunning. It osunds like he's playing with fire too, I fear, but then Dannenio hasn't given him any other chance, so he's really getting his rope and strnagling himself, sadly. And also loved Conunion's stance. And the promise to LEgolas "I have guarded three generations of your family, as I told you. All of them eventually managed to marry, despite the presence of guards This made me laugh so hard. And poor Legolas, what a shock!!! Well, such is life, bu surely it must have hurt, even more after Galithil and Maidhien managed to solve their problem! Great chapter! Author Reply: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Thranduil is definitely playing with fire, but at this point he will be happy to let Dannenion hang himself. He is comepletely disgusted with him. Conuion is great. It must be tough to do what he does. And Legolas is definitely having a rotten day, that is not going to get any better, unfortunately. Poor elf, indeed. Thanks so much for the reviews. I appreciate them so much!! | |

| A wonderful opening quote!!!! And poor Thranduil really, having his day so abruptly interrupted! :-) GAlithil has grown up quite nicely. It was fun seeing him picking at Legolas, when he has his own story, but he has really sobered up an dno wonder, what with the problem at hand... And Thranduil being unable to glare at Maidhien was really amusing. Author Reply: Calderon is great, isn't he? And so is Galithil. He is having fun being the one not in trouble for once. At least not in trouble with Thranduil. Dannenion is worse, poor thing. Thranduil needs a daughter. ;-) Thanks so much for the reviews! I really appreciate them! | |

| Oh, wow that was intense! Poor LEgolas, and poor Aeen, and poor star crossed lovers. BUt above all poor guards. It's an ungrateful task they have, looking after these kids...Now that we seem to have Galithil trained it's LEgolas' turn to become unpredictable. Thrnauidl is not going to be impressed by this one, oh no! THis is aboslutely delightful and entertained, elliska, and I still have another chapter to catch up with! :-) Author Reply: I'm glad it was tense! Yes, Legolas is just not destined to have his kiss, is he? And yes again, the guards are in a lot of trouble. Thranduil has a lot of reasons to not be pleased. Thanks so much for the reviews! I appreciate them so much! | |
