Oh, Nana is right. That is perfect. What a sweetie.

And one who's being raised right too. Good for firm loving parents.

Author Reply: Yes, what a sweetie! I really enjoyed trying to find the right note to hit with the little Prince in this story - he was ticked off, but still wanted to do something special for his naneth on her special day (after all, he wanted it to be PERFECT for her). So showing his little temper fit, along with Ada's dealing with it (by reminding his son that he is the heir - a Prince of his father's realm - and should behave accordingly, no matter what) and then balancing that with the little private party he planned I hoped would show both sides. He did turn out to be a little charmer, too...learned that at his Adar's knee! Thank you, daw! I do enjoy your reviews!

Fluff, but perfect fluff. These little glimpses into the early life of Legolas and his Ada are a real treat and they allow us to see why and how he became the elf we know in adult life
But it is the little things that delight so much, the repetition of the 'no running' rule and the threat of an 'Ada punishment' which if I recall was according to Legolas always worse than that of his mother and to be avoided at all costs.
As for his love for his naneth and the way he chose to show it, well I suspect I was not the only one reaching for the tissues!
An absolute delight

Author Reply: Oh!! *claps hands wildly for thechevin* You remembered! Yes, an 'Ada punishment' is to be avoided if at all possible, and as you can see here, Legolas is learning that lesson at an early age. I couldn't think of anything more PERFECT (the prompt) than an elfling!Legolas planning a special party for his Nana on her special day, all by himself. Just melted my heart, it did! :-) Thank you for the delightful review - I do appreciate them so much!

Ah, so sweet a begetting day! Love the child!

Author Reply: Thank you, Larner. Isn't he a sweetie? And such a proper little elfling, too! I really enjoyed thinking of a way he could make his Nana's day PERFECT, especially if he wasn't able to attend the whole party! Thanks again for the review - I appreciate you taking the time!
