Awesome story!!! I love the bond between Elves and nature.

:puts on my 'I'm with Elessar' shirt: I think I could use a Tamin of my own.

A bath! Horrors!

I love the little detail that Gimli made Bandobras's armor. I also love the little details that paint the various scenes so clearly.

Unless it benefits Dol Galenehtar, of course. Then you may listen all you like. Hahahahah!

(And now I'm thinking what a remarkable thing it was for Pippin to be made a knight well before he reached his majority!)

I like the name 'Spark' for a pony; may I borrow it sometime?

Looking forward to reading more.

Nice. Story flows and the details are rich. Characters are interesting with depth. Very nice indeed.

Oh my! I've been wanting to read this forever - and everytime the note pops up and tells me another chapter has been added, I've been too busy!

But today - I finally took the time. Well worth the wait. Delightful first chaper. I will endeavor to read more today... but I love this much!

Lovely bit of scene-setting! Very informative. And Tamin is panting to take over from Bandobras and Fastred as Legolas's young admirer/aide! Shame Pearl didn't live long enough to see Bandy knighted - although I daresay the whole concept would be a little odd to hobbits, even if she had been living amongst Legolas's elves for a good while.

Author Reply: Well, I took my cues from Merry's becoming a knight of Rohan, and Pippin joining the Tower Guard, for Bandobras' willingness to become a knight of Dol Galenehtar. His loyalties, however, lay more with Legolas than with the Shire; thus I had to "get rid of" Pearl!

Thank you for reviewing!

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! You made my day Le Rouret. I love all your stories and was so happy to see a new one. This one is as well written as all the others. I love Tamin's worship of Legolas and the part where Legolas "shrugged tolerantly and agreed with Gimli, who said Tamin would learn soon enough and to his chagrin that the son of Thranduil was quite far from perfect." I can't wait for the next chapter.


Author Reply: Thanks for the review! After "Mardil Goes A-Courting," it seem a lot of people are anxious to see Legolas "less than perfect," and getting his commupance for it!

I was so excited to see another Green Knight story...I'm looking forward to reading it as it is written this time instead of just lurking after it's finished :)Adorable first chapter. Tamin is loveable anytime, but with Legolas he's just so hero-worshipping that I want him to stay young forever. I'm guessing that won't happen, though.

There's some weird formatting in the middle of the chapter...it starts over at the begin and another section is repeated at the end. It's still readable but I thought you would want to know. Please write quickly and share more of your wonderful Green Knight universe!

Author Reply: I'm so glad you're reading! I always appreciate reviews.

I have no idea what caused the wonky formatting; I've re-loaded the chapter, and hopefully that'll fix the problem. At least Stories of Arda isn't as bad as LotRFanFiction - their formatting is bizarre, and I'm always having to go back and fix things!

No, Tamin will not stay young forever ... just longer than Fastred anticipates.

No more Green knight stories!! (*Gasping widly for air as I clutch my chest) You would not be so cruel. They are my favorites so you are going to have to make this one long if it has to last me. I thought this was a belated Christmas gift to us, well I'm glad that your muse would not let you do such a thing. Tamin is wonderful and I love the indignant lark.

Happy New year and a joyous 2008 to you

Author Reply: Eliza, I will write Green Knight stories as long as the plot bunnies tell me to! At the moment they're nibbling away, so have no fear; I'll feed your addiction.

Thanks for reviewing! Happy New Year to you, too!

I was so excited to see another Green Knight story. I love the part about Fastred waiting for Tamin to be bad. It is like my older daughter "waiting" for her younger sister to get her first "B" on a report card.
Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author Reply: "Perfect" people are rather frustrating. Can you imagine what Jesus' brothers must've felt? "Mom, I didn't do it, it was Jesus!" "Nice try, James. You know Jesus is perfect." I imagined Fastred would be equally agitated!

Thanks for the review!

When I saw the chapter title, Le Rouret, I knew that I would have a huge smile on my face by the end of it.Tamin is such a delightful character, and it's no wonder that his sunny disposition affects those around him.He's adorable.

Fastred is sixteen now? He is almost a man and it's a shame that he no longer feels that Tamin is of equal age.

Little Bandy has grown up! I loved his chat with Legolas about Mistress Pearl;Legolas will always lose those he loves to time but he does not shy away from making mortals part of his 'family'.Tamin lifted Legolas' spirits, and I was glad that he did as Legolas would brood otherwise.

I really enjoyed this first chapter, Le Rouret.Your stories are just wonderful.Can't wait to read more!

Ali.

Happy New Year!

Author Reply: Thank you, Ali! I'm going to have a hard time keeping this story out of Tamin's sole point of view - he's adorable, isn't he? And yes, I'm going to explore more deeply Legolas' ability (some might say flaw) to allow mortals so close to his heart. Now ... on to the next chapter!
