| My favorite part is Thranduil scooping up his little elfling with a kiss. What a warm, secure way for a lost elfling to be awakened, in his Ada's powerful embrace. Lovely. ~TF Author Reply: I'm a sucker for a loving father/son relationship between Thranduil and Legolas. I particularly like to show the contrast between the powerful Elvenking and the warm, loving father. | |

| awwww Jay! I love it! DaddyAngst can be a scary thing! I'm glad the oak tree protected my favorite elf! LOTR would be pretty sad without him! LOL. Lovely drabble. time to read more! :D Author Reply: Yes, poor Thranduil was a bit worried there. But Legolas knew the tree would protect him until Ada found him. | |

| Poor little one. Kind protective oak. And such a terrified Ada. Who knows what can happen - even though the chances against any of it are probably quite large. He will be reminding Legolas of this for years, whenever the poor elfling wants to widen his bounds a bit. Is Nana still around to rub it in? It is so easy to lose small children - and males are not talented at keeping track of them whilst doing other things. Author Reply: Don't forget the river - elflings and water don't mix. No wonder Thranduil was frantic. Legolas's mother is around - and out searching - but wasn't there at the time. My husband lost our son once when he was about two, and we were on holiday. We found him in an adjoining tent being fed chocolate biscuits! | |

| Jay, you really have to put all these together in a novel. You write so well, so I want to spend a long while (someday!) with your work. On the other hand, I whipped over to read this now because I knew I'd be able to spare the time when usually I wouldn't. Thanks. Well done. But what was he doing out there? Etc. etc. Don't answer. I know it's a drabble. Author Reply: Legolas just went for a walk in the forest with his Ada. Then he wandered off. He's only about three here! | |

| I'm such a sap for Little Legolas! And Good Ada Thranduil. I like the way the oak protected him, even though it was also obvious that he'd been crying, poor baby. Author Reply: Well, you know I'd never write Thranduil any other way! I think Legolas is about two or three here - big enough to wander a long way, too little to know his way home. He knew instinctively that the tree would protect him, though. | |

| Poor Thranduil! It is inconceivable to me that Legolas never, ever got lost in the woods, so I can see this happening. But the way you portray Thranduil's fear and find Legolas sleeping curled up with an oak is what makes this so dear. Good job. Author Reply: Even though the shadow hadn't fallen on the forest yet, there are still plenty of dangers for a lost elfling. I think it would be instinctive for Legolas to seek sanctuary with the trees, even so young. | |

| I'll have to show this one to my husband, who once lost track of our then-two-year-old son in a shopping mall. It only takes a second. I think all the parents who read this will identify with Thranduil. Author Reply: I think this has happened to many of us! How can they go so far, so fast ... Poor Thranduil was having some very bad moments here. | |
