| "You must be a lot of fun at parties." I knew it! Vala he may be, but Lord Námo has a strange sense of humour. At any rate, that line about made me inhale my tea *coughs* Things felt confusing here, like two worlds colliding and rolling down a hill. I'm sure it probably felt the same for the elves. Having Ulmo be a chief engineer makes a lot of sense. In fact, it reminded me of a couple of friends who studied ocean engineering in University. Ingwion really does show a lot of courage here in what has to be very traumatic circumstances. The part about their bond of friendship was interesting. I really like the idea of the eldar being able to form bonds involving their fëar. That bond of brotherhood alone had a hugely stabilising effect on Glorfindel here. I am intrigued to see where the Valar are headed with this. They almost seem to be playing, and I can only imagine what happens when the powers start having too much fun :) I'd say I feel sorry for Irmo, but, well, it's just too amusing. Nobody seems overly upset, so hopefully everything is fine. I'm wondering if Námo is going to be in trouble with Irmo ;) Hope you're having a fun week! Author Reply: Hi Hawkeye. Things are very confusing in this chapter. We see the Valar as the scientists that they are but through the eyes of Elves who are unfamiliar with that part of the Valar's role. And they are not playing. They are honestly intrigued by the differences between the Reborn and the Once-born and they are puzzled by the way Glorfindel is acting when he slips his leash. As Manwë point's out some of the Elves are doing something they shouldn't be able to do and they are trying to discover why. As for Irmo, well, he's used to weird things happening around him anyway. *grin* Thanks for reviewing. I appreciate it. | |

| Ai, our little Balrog-Slayer just gets more and more troublesome by the minute. *wry grin* I suppose he can't help it. He must be very amusing to Atar, lol. ~Kaylee!! Author Reply: Which is probably why he was allowed to be born in the first place. LOL Atar definitely had a twinkle in his eye when he got Glorfi's parents together. | |

| So, it's Finrod he's seeking this time. At least Irmo is there to see to it he's all right. Author Reply: Yes. Glorfindel has learned that a place is just a place, but 'home' is people you love. | |

| "You must be a lot of fun at parties." Indeed! And Glorfindel gets to play with the star, too. Although for a rather more scary reason. I like the thought that home to Glorfindel means people rather than a place. His trip to Gondolin has shown him that a place is only a place. Author Reply: Yes, like they say, home is where the heart is, but what usually occupies the heart? Hopefully it's other people, not things. Glorfindel is discovering that. | |

| I’d love to see these rooms myself – it sounds truly beautiful. But I’d prefer them without Valar around, they’re a bit too intimidating ;-) Poor Glorfindel! I’m getting even more curious what’s the matter with him. Though I was glad that he this time only sought to reach his friends. This examination seems rather frightening for everyone save the Valar themselves. Author Reply: Having been on the business end of medical examinations for one thing or another throughout my life I entirely sympathize with Glorifndel and Ingwion, but at least the Valar aren't condenscending, so that helps. And really, the two of them are in good hands, so I don't worry too much for them. | |
