Oh, how wonderful! I love it!

Author Reply: Yet another hero-worshipper for Boromir! But I don't think Faramir would have minded the opportunity to bring his beloved brother to life, through family tales and traditions, for his son.

That line about "another small boy seeking tales" sent a shiver through me. I guess I wasn't expecting it.

Author Reply: I was thinking of Aragorn when I wrote it; but since then I've read other stories chronicling the responsibility Elrond took upon himself for the care of Isildur's heirs. There would have been a long line of dark-haired boys growing up in Imladris, being taught by Elladan and Elrohir.

Ann--

It seems that Elboron takes after his late uncle and will be more than a little disappointed if there aren't any orcs left to kill! And this line

best I speak straight out what is in my mind

has a definite Boromir-ish sound to it. I love Elboron practicing "rangerly ways," hoping to sneak up on the visitors! (I doubt there is a boy alive who hasn't tried that at least once, LOL.) A very fun drabble!

Author Reply: This was great fun to write, once I took the pressure to write Elladan/Elrohir off myself and transferred the focus to Elboron. I easily imagine him hero-worshipping his uncle, just as his son Barahir will hero-worship his grandfather.
