| "Beings" yes! Oh, bother, that is embarrassing. *laughs* Celebrian and her uncle's relationship is so beautiful. The spinning scene was fun. “To receive a punishment for my escapade.” - That is very Celebrian. Aurthon and his wife add another dimension and intrigue. What will come of the interview with Galadriel I cannot wait to see. -Kitt :) Author Reply: Ah yes, baby juggling! One of my worst foibles... ;) I liked it too much as a child, perhaps. The little princess can put on a brave show when it come to do'in the time for her crimes. That is maybe admirable, but certainly not her recitative behaviour. Glad you are still intrigued! | |

| Lovely relationship between Celebrimbor and Celebrían! He's such a pleasing uncle!And the girl has her own personality here, she's kind of glaadriel in short version, so amusing in her discerning and commanding attitudes! :-) Laerlínath's game is very well prsented, attempts at flattering and gaining position in such a court, gossip and false smiles are perfectly rendered and well in place in such a city! I bow tou your ability at writing details and situations, Redha, it is amazing how perfectly in place everything seems, almost effortlessly!! Author Reply: Ah, but she's her daddy's girl too! Just as long as you don't like Laerlinath herself too much! Hmm, I guess once in a while I can talk a good game. ;) But, writing fiction is hard work for me and I am just such a snail... slimely trail and all. You are so kind to review each chapter, thank you! | |

| That was a very elven 'toss-the-baby-in-the-air' moment. More juggle with her! While she squealed with delight. This is a wonderful relationship of love and trust between Celebrian and Celebrimbor. Child and elf lord both disregarding protocol and just being happy to play together. Unfortunately - under the spiteful and speculating eye of the gossip-mongering, place-seeking, social-climbing elves who just can't bear to believe that sometimes it is impossible to find scandal because there is no scandal to be found. I haven't taken to Laerlínath at all. And I'm interestingly outraged by all the speculation about Celebrian's parents - although I have to agree with Aurthôn. Anyone who thinks that Celebrimbor is the father of this silver-haired elfling needs his/her head examined. Although the throwaway suggestion that she could be Amroth's sister is clever. You are doing a wonderful job at making the Noldor immigrants seem arrogant and only too willing to accept all the kind of 'baby-eating' rumours that so many colonists seem to adopt about the indigenous peoples. Grr - I can feel steam starting to rise! I'm intrigued to know why mention of Hrassa can take the smile from Celebrimbor's face. And delighted at Celebrian's enquiry as to whether she can keep him (as her bowman, of course. Certainly not as a pet.) And I half-hope (only half, because it would be unpleasantly cynical, even of an elfling) that Celebrian is taking Laerlínath with her to Galadriel for head-removal surgery. And Celebrimbor is scheming to have Aurthôn become friends with Hrassa. I can't imagine why! But I'm fairly certain that Laerlínath won't like that at all. Actually, that's a good enough reason for me. Probably not Celebrimbor's though. This has really left me hungry for more. What happens next? I want to know! Author Reply: Most people want to see Celeborn and Celebrimbor at each others throat when there is no reason, at least not until much later, for that to be so. And in UT, Celebrimbor never seems to actively dislike anyone. He's generally an OK guy. In one version, he is actually one of C&G's followers. Laerlinath rubs you the wrong way? :) Cool! She does sorta represent some of the reasons C&G eventually have to leave Eregion. Well, in my view of things, Amroth is Amdir's son period. LOTR trumps UT. I had to throw it though. Gil-galad is not the only elven-king with excursive origns. Some would disagree with me about bringing the Galadhrim to Eregion instead of Galadriel bringing it's culture to them. But, Tolkien is quite clear that the Silvan in the both Greenwood and Goldenwood are influeced by Sindar culture with some Noldor followers tagging along. And I simply cannot see the Nandor accepting Galadriel without Celeborn's aegis. Celebrian is a clever child which can be a sore trial for everyone when not properly guided. I have a feeling her ada, and her naneth, would be very indulgent if only they could be. After all, she did get Hrassa arrested, didn't she? And escaped her guard on a whim to check on her prize. Who knows how long she would have taken to go to her mother if her uncle had not set her on her way. Typical smart kid, if you ask me, and as capable as her grandtwins will be. They didn't get it all from Galadriel... Hrassa has history with this family and Celebrimbor is part of the family. That's the answer to their relationship. They both care about C&G and now Celebrian. As to the next chapter, sorry but back with Hrassa and Celeborn still working out their relationship after so long an absence. Thank you for reviewing. We mean to entertain and its good to know when we do. | |
