| Haldir is such a good big brother. It'll take some time for Rumil to absorb what he said, but at least Haldir planted the seed. And now Big Brother has the unenviable task of coaxing the cat out of the tree, so to speak. At least he doesn't have to call the Lothlorien fire department. He can go back up himself, if he has to. But a wood elf has to have confidence in the trees or he's going to have a tough life! Poor Rumil. Author Reply: Changes won't happen overnight, no, but he has a lot of time to learn! ;) The Lothlorien fire department - LOL! Now there's an interesting mental image! Haldir's very worried about Rúmil's confidence, as you will soon see! Thanks for reviewing! | |

| Thank goodness for elven reflexes - that was pretty close. I'm not surprised that Rumil has lost his nerve a bit. It might take quite a lot of big-brotherly coaxing to get him down out of that tree - and even more big-brotherly coaxing to get him to climb another. Haldir was being very wise - I don't know that he will have made that much impression - little kids can hold big grudges and aren't very good at seeing other points of view. But he is there for his little brother - and Rumil will grow accustomed. Once Orophin does something other than feed and sleep and their parents are less distracted. It's lovely seeing Haldir and Rumil like this! Author Reply: Yes, Haldir has a hard task ahead of him! But he's quite resourseful! ;) Haldir just wants to get things going in the right direction... he knows these things take time. Luckily they have a lot of it! Thank you! | |

| Horray!!! An update :-) Thrilled... Ahh.. The wonderful innocence of children... "and let me have strawberry cake when Nana says no!” :-) Hmm... Having (mentally counting) four younger siblings I can remember the exact feelings of what Rumil is having. Resentment, anger, bitterness... I hated the fact that my mom paid more attention to the baby than she did me... And you portrayed those feelings in Rumil very nicely :-) Although I will say :-) Haldir did use a little blackmail :-P I have 11 siblings... So I know how it goes all three ways.. :-) ;-) Great job and looking forward to more!!! Author Reply: Heehee I'm glad you liked that line! Thank you, I'm glad it worked. :) But 11 siblings?! Ohh I don't evey you at all! Yes he used blackmail... lol can you blame him? ;) Thanks again! *Goes off still astounded at the 11 siblings thing* | |
