| So excited to read a new fanfic! It's just as wonderful as all the others! Congrats on your book! Author Reply: Thank you, moonshine, both for your kind words about this story and for the congrats on my book. I never would have started writing fiction if it weren't for the opportunity to learn that fanfic gave me. | |

| I feel great sympathy for the man. His day is almost as bad as Ithilden's, and his daughter had the cheek to find gold when she wasn't supposed to find anything! But if anyone had even worse day than those two, it was the troll, who had someone dig into its home and wake it, and then making its cave collapse and kill it. Poor troll. Thank you for writing this funny story! Author Reply: Poor troll Now there's a sentence you don't see very often! LOL I'm glad you enjoyed it. The poor man still has to deal with his daughter's choice, but then I suppose, it's what most parents have to do at some time or other. This was fun to write. | |

| Nice job on ch2. Too bad Ithilden couldn't have run into another challenge on the way home but that would have made this unrealistic. Also, getting a bit more clarity on what happened to Sarah and her father for their trespass would have been nice but still, generally, great to see you back!!! Author Reply: I guess it's a good sign that you enjoyed it enough to want more! Yeah, I expect Thranduil will have something to say about Men digging in his woods. I don't know how "back" I am. I'm mostly working on original fic. It's just that I miss these guys sometimes. I wrote about them so much that they feel real to me. | |

| Nicely resolved, and I can imagine this making for good stories round the fire for yeni to come. I did wonder whether the Elves would understand the human slang when Fodor yells "Oh, screw Mica[…]No, wait. Don't." but even if they don't I expect they'll figure it out ;-) Are you going to update the timeline on your profile? I'm trying to recall where this one would fit in and failing: how old was your Legolas at the time of The Hobbit? Author Reply: Someone else asked about "screw" too. I did think about it some before using it. Most languages include some vulgarity about sex, so I thought the Men probably would. Now whether the Elves would be familiar with it is a good question. They obviously understand sex. So I'd guess it's a matter of how familiar they are with the language. And that's an issue I mostly ignored in this. How good was Legolas's understanding of common speech? I think I'll take your explanation--they figured it out in context. Yes. That's it. Thanks for reminding me about updating my profile. I should have done that. Or you know what? I should have stuck these two chapters as two new chapters on "Home for Now." They'd have fit. I'd have to look up how old I made Legolas at the time of The Hobbit. He was born not long after the Watchful Peace ended. So, what would that be? Several hundred years is as close as I can get off the top of my head at 6:30 in the morning. Thanks for the review, NotACat. | |

| Something makes me think this exchange between Ithilden and Sera is a taste of things to come. Listen to what your father says, indeed. She'll do that by the time she's a mother herself - maybe! The lads must be thrilled they got to fight a troll with no interference from pesky minders. They should have an adventure once in a while without being nagged, I totally agree. And I'm glad Ithilden made it back in time for his daughter's birth. After losing Sinnarn he needs this. Great story, daw. Author Reply: After killing Sinnarn, *I* needed this. Actually, I picture Ithilden's daughter as a sweet child, but even sweet children don't always appreciate dad's interference. | |
