| Oh I loved this! Had wondered what on Arda had happened to Erestor in Valinor. Very happy to have this gap filling with Rostaro :) Author Reply: FIRST allow me to apologize profusely for not responding to your review in a more timely manner. I have been offline, just now looking through my email from the past two weeks. Thank you so very much for the review!! I never expect old stories to get new comments. This is a very pleasant surprise! I hope you find the rest of these dusty chapters entertaining. I did intend for more, but like many I have been on a long hiatus. | |

| Aha! Sounds as if this proved to be a most productive interview on both sides. Now, to read more of your stories. Author Reply: First, let me apologize for not replying sooner! My only excuse is I do not check my email with any regularity. Second, I am so delightfully surprised!! Thank you very much for reading and reviewing! I hope you find these tales entertaining. | |

| Erestor ensuring that Rostaro gets the very best education is definitely a Good Thing. And 'teenagers' everywhere are such a pain! I wonder if Gail and Rostaro get to meet again sometime. The thought of Rostaro and Elrond's friend's daughter ... just delicious. I am so glad that Erestor found himself a suitable purpose in life while he waited for Elrond to heal. And, actually, the thought of a rather gauche and brattish Rostaro, who expected life to consist mainly of kicks ... I'm sure he will develop more grace and style as the years pass. Delightful, Redheredh. Author Reply: *g* You are ever on the lookout for good-matchs! ...maybe, they will. Who knows... Yes, it is a happy hope that every elf finds a happy life in Eldamar. We all need role-models and life-guides, besides good friends, to become better people. Goodness, else it would be Lord of the Flies. Thank you! :) I am glad you enjoyed it! | |

| Oh dear, how I can relate to student emissions and so on… well, one does not think about educational institutes in Valinor so often; very interesting. (Final exam for the decade?! Yes, of course.) I like the pealing away of Rostaro’s personality: arrogant, easygoing, and finally open friendliness. (“Arrogant hick.” sorta was fitting.) It was a wonderful progression that Erestor used to help Rostaro get on the right path. All in all a very enjoyable, moving interview. I cannot blame Gail for silliness around Rostaro (and poor Erestor believes her silliness will soon pass?) Liked the wee references to Celebrian. : ) -Kitt Author Reply: I am glad you found it entertaining! It was written for Perelleth, and she ok with stories that have little action or romance - as long as they are play with ideas. Her Erestor is one of my favorite characters - as you can tell. ;D Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! | |

| Thank you very much again on the first place! I really loved seeing Rostaro again, and twice! :-) And Erestor is great here, fitting anywhere as he belonged, with his usual ability, finding himself a family and a career in Valinor while Elrond recovers form the ordeals of having everything and almos losing it all...IT is wonderful to see him so rewarded: It was important and slightly more despotic than bureaucratic And this is amusingly perfect, for I believe that the "despotic" part is what really appealed to Erestor! :-) And poor Rostaro is wonderful here, a farm boy with all his talents and that strangeness around him. I really like how you let us see him through Erestor' calculating but also compassionate eye: his untamed talent and temper, his budding pride, his fear that he would be chained to a future he was not sure he liked..and the boy's humble surprise when, all of a sudden all his fears are laid bare before his eyes and he can see that, after all, they are not so difficult to overcome. The joyful Rostaro that leaves Ersetor's office surely made his day. I really loved this tale, for many personal resasons but also for the insight and the compassion that shines through. And I was tickled by the idea of Aman's Accademia! What a world to explore! :-) THank you very much. Author Reply: You are both so kind and so deserving yourself! This was a personal gift to you, and I am very very happy you found something personal in it! And very pleased that you enjoyed it! You are welcome, Perelleth! Happy Birthday! | |

| You almost make me miss academia! Almost. Erestor is good with young people trying to figure themselves out. I'm glad he could help this one. Perelleth the Wise? LOL. Author Reply: *whew* close call! Well, Perelleth the Wise almost asked me to remove that reference! Almost. :D Thank you for the review. | |
