| I love this look at Rumil practicing to become the warrior he must one day be. Lovely! Author Reply: It was fun writing young Rumil! I could so easily picture this whole event as I wrote about it. Thanks for reading and reviewing! | |

| That was really cute. :) You should try doing more of this sort of gentle, family humor. Haldir and his adar's conversation was very entertaining. Oh,and I like the rather misleading title! You certainly threw me off making me think this would be another intimate romance. lol! Author Reply: This was written for a challenge at Julie_Fianna_Archive where we had to pick a title and write a story around it. I tried to think of other dances of desire that exist besides the obvious love one. After ruling out the universal bathroom dance, I decided on a dance that all males who have ever laid eyes on a sword have danced in thier hearts, if no where else. I'm glad you enjoyed it!. It was fun writing it. I may do more family pieces, I don't know yet. It really depends on my muse. I realy like Haldir's father and may have to write about him some more. Thanks so much for reading, reviewing, and sending your note with the linguistics lesson. I appreciate it very much! | |

| Very sweet - little Rumil fighting wars of the imagination. At least big brother is able to persuade his adar of the cuteness of the action, even if playing with a real sword probably isn't that good an idea. And young males don't change! War games always have their attraction for them. But I'm glad Rumil's efforts against an army of orcs aren't real. Yet. Author Reply: Well, Haldir and dad were going to be in trouble when they got home anyway seeing as how Rumil had already fallen once by the time they found him (and why weren't they watching him mroe carefully in the first place the mean naneth will undoubtably be asking), so why not let the little guy play a bit. You are so right that young males don't change and even older males like swishing swords around if you let them. Thanks for reading and reviewing! | |

| Bravo! This was such fun! The battle was great - good telling of the sword cuts and blows. I couldn't believe he might be able to get away from so many attackers. And then the second part - I just howled. Love the dichotomy of the two parts. You did an excellent job - caught me unawares - which made it even more fun! Bless you!!! Author Reply: I'm so glad you enjoyed this! In that first part, I was trying to picture what would have been going through Rumil's head and then the second part, I almost could have heard my husband saying some of those things. My hubby laughed when he read the second part and my 11 year old son loved the first part and told me he wished he could have been Rumil (and then proceeded to slash about the room while wielding a pretend sword.) Thank you so very much for reading and reviewing! | |
