| Very sweet...I liked how the story was told by two different people...Aragorn and the Elf, and how the story reflected Legolas and Aragorns friendship... The children were sweet as well... Author Reply: Pipinheart, you're fast becoming one of my favourite readers :-) Thank you for all your reviews, and I'm very glad you're still reading my stories. | |

| I love the parallel telling, and the caring the two have for one another across the miles, as they think one of the other. Author Reply: Oh wow - this is like a chat! Immediate responses. :-) Glad you liked this chapter too. Thanks! | |

| Nicely done Legolass. And just a bit different in its presentation too - well done. Author Reply: Thank you, harrowcat. And it's great to hear from you again. :-) | |

| Awwwww....I absolutely love this sweet little story. And the switching back and forth from Elrond (am I right?) and Aragorn was fantastic. In a way, I almost see this as somewhat of a sequel to For the Love of the Lord of the White Tree. And I loved the way you incorporated the Elven language into our modern terms: grandnaneth!! I thought that was the cutest thing. Well, keep writing, and I'll look for more soon. -ArcherGal2932 Author Reply: Hey ArcherGal! Nice to talk to you in both onine domains. :-) Back at work today, so - only a short response. I use Grandnaneth because I didn't know what else to use, lol! Glad it worked for you at least! THanks for dropping in. | |

| Now this is a great surprise on an otherwise dreary Monday, my favorite author has posted a new story. Welcome back, very happy to see your muse is still up & kicking. Great new story (humm, can we call it new since it's an side bar to your other story) and so far no elf-owies. I love it. Aragorn as a grandfather, don't know if the world is ready for that-some times I think of him & Legolas has overgrown elflings (males only grow taller, not wiser ya know). I'm glad to see him passing on the most important things to future generations and I love the tie in to the small elfling part of the story. Update soon, Your fan, Eliza Author Reply: Well met again, ELiza! And I must say your greeting and review brightened MY first day back at work after a ten-day break I took. Thank you! Yes - IS it really a new story? Good question! I really didn't know what to call it; I just wanted to get it down. Oh I love that comment about those two being overgrown elflings, lol. I quite agree! There may be no elf-owies here, since this isn;t a 'real' story - so I guess my usual readers will be relieved, you think? I'll have to work up some major angst in the next long tale I write, which will be ... when??? Sigh... Delighted to hear from you. :-) | |

| Hmmmm, interesting story. Now I'm wondering where it will go from here. Reading your preface in chapter one, I have to say I harbor a pet notion that elves are sometimes drawn to men. I wrote about it in one of my little ditties. It doesn't really make sense for that type of friendship to happen, but it's a nice thing to speculate about. Anyway, I look forward to the next chapter. ~TF Author Reply: Hi again TF! Where will this story go from here? Nowhere much - it really will be a series of bedtime stories. :-) "I harbor a pet notion that elves are sometimes drawn to men. I wrote about it in one of my little ditties" I must say I agree with you. And I would love to find out why Tolkien was fond of that notion - that some Firstborn commit their loyalty to some Men. True, a great reciprocal friendship is cultivated, but I can't think of a case where it is the adan who initiates the great friendship. Can you? As for it making sense... I guess it should not, but that's why it's so precious. Or maybe I'm just being silly. *grin* Oh yes must read your little ditty too when i can get to it. As it is, I have 'stolen' time from work to do this. Eeeep. Lovely to hear from you. :-) | |

| I really like the way you tell this story! It is as if the two narrators and the children/ elflings were living in the present and telling stories of ages long past - it makes me feel as if I would live in the same time they do, Middle-Earth would still be there and Aragorn king. *contented sigh* And it is just cosy. (I wish I could find me a log cabin with a nice fireplace and read the story there!) Fine - "ada" is obviously not Legolas. I love that kind-hearted elfling! *huggles elfling* I'm beginning to wonder if the two narrators live at the same time?! I'm not even sure there were any elflings in Middle-Earth when Aragorn was a grandfather... *ponders* “I want a friend like that when I grow up,” he decided aloud. *grins fondly* Well, I'm grown up, but I'd still like to have a friend like that! I love that story - lots of friendship and warm-hearted humour! Though I will fetch me some tissues for the next part, just in case you intend to tell the story of Beleg and Turin to its end... Looking forward to the next part! Author Reply: I wish I could find me a log a cabin, too - so I can stay there and do nothing but write all my stories, and eat and go for walks, and dream, and write stories... And yeah I wish Aragorn were king now. I'd do anything to go and see him and *shiver* get to know his elven companion too. Sigh.... Oh, BTW, I doubt that you will need tissues for this story, my dear. :-) | |
