Hee hee hee! I love this! Elrohir is such a romantic, climbing a cliff to get bright blue flowers (btw, I just love intense, brilliant blue! In eyes or flowers....)

I'm trying to remember, but don't have the time to check at the moment: Is Taniquel a warrior from Mirkwood? I *think* I remember Elrohir being attracted to one in your stories, but didn't remember her name.

And I love that you and I both have Elrohir be the twin who rock-climbs... though by the time he does it in my drabble series, he's had a bit more practice.... LOL!

BTW, I just recently saw the pictures that Tolkien drew of Rivendell, and the cliffs he drew are even steeper than I had imagined... climbing them would be something like climbing El Capitan in Yosemite! LOL! Good things Elves are supposed to be (much) more graceful and coordinated than I am....

Anyway, I'm enjoying these drabbles, Jay... thanks for sharing them!

Author Reply: Thanks for the review! Yes, Taniquel is the female warrior from Lasgalen - Elrohir's had an on/off flirtation with her for many years. In my own mind, there's a much deeper affection there than he realises, and I'm going to write that one day.

Elrohir's rather young and reckless here - but he will learn to take more care eventually.

*chortle*

I'm sure she was very impressed.

Author Reply: Oh, she was - she's just as besotted with Elrohir. They just don't realise it yet :>)

*giggles* Cute!

Author Reply: Thanks - it was a drabble where I giggled as I wrote it :>)

Ah, Elrohir has it bad, fetching flowers from dangerous places, nothing like love.

Author Reply: Yes, Elrohir has a bad case of Love. And it will get worse - this is serious :)

How funny! What a hopelessly hopeful romantic!

Author Reply: *Grin*

Poor Elrohir - he's always had a weakness for Taniquel!

I don't think I've said before how very much I have been enjoying these, so please accept this as a (belated) "Thank you!"
I will try to do better in the fb arena (it was a NY Resolution, and there are 5 clear months left!).
Cheers :)

Author Reply: I've got very behind with my writing - there are THREE stories still unfinished - but the drabbles are such fun to write! Thanks for reviewing.

Boys!!

Perhaps Taniquel should have a Firm Word with Elrohir.

Author Reply: He needs it. He's young and impulsive here, and still has a bit of a crush on Taniquel :>)

Elrohir has a hard head...good thing too. ANd the flower's are the color of her eyes...cute....

well done..

Author Reply: Yes, Elrohir's lucky he only knocked himself out - he could have broken his neck! He's got a crush on Taniquel though, and has a romantic streak, so of *course* he picked the flowers for her!

I've always wondered if Taniquel and Elrohir get married? I love your stories that bring those two together!

And I wish you'd let Legolas and Arwen get together just like Thranduil and Celebrian were scheming to do!



Author Reply: I've not written it, but I think they will marry one day. Taniquel will have to be a little careful what she says, though - Elrohir is rather impressionable at the moment!

Legolas and Arwen? I think they'd be perfect together. What was Tolkien thinking of??

Ah, the foolishness of those intent on impressing the opposite sex! Two tiny flowers chosen solely for their color almost led to a concussion or worse! And yet he holds them still, ready to present when she should return....

Lovely thought.

Author Reply: How he managed to hold on to the flowers I don't know - but this seems typical of Elrohir :>)
