Climbing the Mallorn Trees  by Lairewen 5 Review(s)

Poor Rumil! I hope Haldir can move quickly enough to save him - but he'll have to be quick. It's hard on the elfling to have another sibling so close to him, especially as his naneth is not recovering too quickly.

And both parents and baby Orophin are doubtless running on no sleep and little patience - new-borns can't be easy even among elves. I think big brother might just need to take over for a bit.

Author Reply: Well, Haldir is a very fast Elf - but if that's enough remains to be seen! ;)

Hopefully his parents will get the chance to sort things out with him and assure him that he hasn't been replaced by his time-consuming little brother! *Grin*

Thanks for the review!

Hi Lairewen,

Oh poor Rumil. He's having a very bad day. As an older sibling, I feel his pain (lol). I really enjoyed this chapter, very glad to see that no matter what the race, some things never change. Tell Velond and Haldir maybe they should get Rumil a puppy!! ( No wait a minute, that would leave mom with 2 babies and a puppy. She'd kill me.) Can't wait for the next chapter, hope Rumil is not to seriously hurt.

Your fan,

Eliza

Author Reply: Hi Eliza, thanks for the review.

Yes, I feel his pain too! I remember well how I felt when my sister was born! I think some things are just universal constants! lol.

The puppy is a cute idea though - maybe when he's older!

More is on the way!

wow... This is fabulous!!! I love it... I can very well relate to Rumil as I am a middle child :-S You portrayed it perfectly and I can't wait for the second part!!!

Author Reply: Aww thank you!

I'm glad it's believable, I'm the oldest myself, so I wasn't entirely sure! More is coming soon!

Wow. I'd call that ending a cliffhanger, except Rumil is actually falling, not hanging. I sympathize with him but also with the adults around him. He's deep in stubborn withdrawal and getting him out again isn't going to be easy.

LOL! That made me giggle! It's quite true though!

I think none of them are really sure how to handle the situation as it wasn't expected. Hopefully Haldir will get a chance to talk to him, but whether Rúmil will listen on not, who can say! (Depends if he's squished or not - lol)

Thanks for the review!
