| Thank you Daw! I am so looking forward to the three adult brothers being together. The comment about Thranduil and honey cakes was funny - he has become so soppy with his grand child - as he was with Sinnarn. I do miss Sinnarn though - any chance of a little story of Sinnarn and his uncles in happier days with no one suffering - unlike the last story with Tuilin or poor Emmelin. Am just being greedy for more of your stories. I should just be grateful for this one - thank you! Author Reply: I picture Thranduil as the kind of guy who feels entitled to indulge his grandchildren and let their parents deal with the consequences. LOL. I love the guy but I'm glad we're not related. There's one more chapter for this story. I'd have to think about whether I had anything more to say about Sinnarn as a child. Maybe. I seem to have a limited amount of creative energy and I'm spending it mostly on original fic at the moment, but I do miss this family when I haven't written about them in a while. Thanks for the review. | |

| Oh, lovely. Back in your world and everyone just as they always were. Including indulgent grandfather Thranduil! I love Legolas trying to ease Alfirin's mind and, of course, Eilian leaping at the chance for anything that doesn't involve his wife and his father in a stubborn contest. The keepers will not be pleased. Poor Ithilden. The world just won't co-operate. And I think Sera is proof that daughters aren't always sweet and biddable. What a great angle - the Hobbit's treasure. Ithilden must think them very foolish. But then, he's just got himself into a nice predicament. I have utter faith in him, though :-) Author Reply: I thought of you as I wrote this story, Dot, because it's Ithilden in action, and even the action goes wrong, he's a guy who's meant to triumph. I love him as a character. Maybe I should make one like him for my original fic. He really is admirable. It's just that at the moment, he's in a hole with a man and his daughter. LOL. Yeah, he's sure his daughter will be well sweet enough that she won't even need much management. She'll just be good on her own because that's her nature. Ha! Thranduil observes that his grandchildren have parents to discipline them, so he's decided he need not bother with that. Cupcakes for the little girls! | |

| Oh what a wonderful tangle! I rather think Ithilden might find himself somewhat ragged by his brothers when all this sorts itself out! Author Reply: This is one of those situations that starts out dodgy and keeps getting worse. Murphy's Law in action, I guess. Glad you're enjoying poor Ithilden's predicament. :-) | |

| "He was in a hole with a Man, his daughter, and a tangle of rope. He would need a few moments to gather his resources." Poor Ithilden. I have a feeling Eilian and Legolas are never going to let him live this down. Or Thranduil, come to that. Such a wonderful case of "Do as I say, not as I do" when it comes to guards. I expect Beliond will have somethng to say, as will Maltanaur. Eilian may be the best off of the bunch. And Alfirin. Oh, Ithilden, you poor fool. Author Reply: Poor Ithilden. I have a feeling Eilian and Legolas are never going to let him live this down Entirely possible! Or of course, being Ithilden, he could intimidate them into keeping their jokes to themselves most of the time. They'd have to snicker behind his back, which he's know they were doing. LOL. Yeah, poor Ithilden. He missed Tonduil's wedding. He better not miss this. | |

| Always a bundle of laughs, our Ithilden, I cannot wait to see how he gets out of this. I expect he can't either. Still, at least his brothers aren't there to laugh at him…yet! Author Reply: Ithilden certainly does not think of himself as a bundle of laughs, which is what makes it so much fun when the world crosses him up. His brothers are on the way! | |

| what fun, a new story of you. I always loved your family constallation around Legolas. Just as I could imagine it. Now to see how Ithilden will gather his resources - LOL! I have just purchased your novel. I´m so excited to finally read it. Hope all will go well with the shipping to Germany. Lai Author Reply: Ithilden just needs a moment! LOL I enjoy sending everyone else away and writing about a slightly smaller case sometimes. The basic relationships in all my stories are among Legolas and his father and brothers. That's the grounding. I hope the book makes it to Germany too. I haven't actually seen it yet, but several people I know had it delivered yesterday and they say it's pretty. :-) | |

| How wonderful, another story for my favorite fic!!! I long to know what will happen to the three involved, it will Ithilden? What you'll find Legolas and Eilian? So much mystery to be unveiled. And it would be marvelous to read also about Legolas being Southern patrol captain!!!! Good to see you to write Legolas fic again!! Author Reply: I love writing about these guys. Legolas and Eilian have been looking for someone who's digging, and lo and behold, Ithilden found a digger! There's only one more chapter, so we'll see how they get together. | |

| Oh dear - all three of Thranduil's sons seem to be thinking 'What could possibly go wrong?' They should know the answer by now - everything! And heading out without their guards? *Shakes head* I love this return to Legolas and his brothers. Each one is still so in character, especially Ithilden, I think: 'He pictured her, soft-spoken and gentle like Alfirin. Ithilden would teach her to play the harp. He'd have to keep her under close guard as long as Sauron's creatures lurked in the woods. She probably shouldn't be allowed more than a league from the stronghold. He could make that a rule. His daughter would understand that he was guiding her out of love and long wisdom. ' Ah, Ithilden - still thinking he can control his world. He's got a shock coming! This tale is especially apt just now, as my son's partner is expecting their daughter any day now. I just hope their experience will be less fraught! Author Reply: Oh, Jay, how exciting! I want grandchildren and my son is not cooperating. Going off without guards was something I hesitated over. It's insane, really, but I needed them without guards. So I convinced myself that Legolas with Eilian isn't any less safe than Legolas with Beliond, and same with Eilian and Maltanaur. Ithilden is the really fool-hardy one here, but for all his rigidity, he's capable of thinking he controls many more things than he does. Tell your son to stay home, no trips to inspect anything. | |

| It is not often that reading a story makes me chuckle out loud, but I couldn't help it now. First, "Ithilden was so stunned by the treachery of the world..." and then "He was in a hole with a Man, his daughter, and a tangle of rope. He would need a few moments to gather his resources." Your Ithilden is hilarious with the way he sees the world and reacts to things! I've read (and re-read) many of your stories several times over the years without leaving a review, so this seems a good time to tell you how much I have enjoyed your take on the life in Mirkwood. The characters feel real and it's easy to grow fond of them. Now, are Eilian and Legolas going to end in the hole, too? Author Reply: That the characters feel real is the nicest thing you can tell me! And beyond that, thank you for telling me you've been reading and enjoying. I've occasionally had other people out themselves that way, and it always feels like I've had this friend I didn't know about. In other words, it's a very great pleasure. Eilian and Legolas are on their way. | |
