| Such wounded pride has destroyed so many once_happy families. Lindelea must have just missed your comment. She is still doing well, along with the family and the beasts. MybAragorn comes of age story is Enterthe Ranger, and is on this site. Author Reply: Larner! I have something of a soft spot for Elrond. He has given so much to Middle Earth and so much has been taken. And he is asked to give this last thing, it is very difficult. And yes, it is his pride that is wounded. But he is hurting. I saw Lindelea's comments later! Thanks for responding though. In these times I worry. Thanks for taking the time to write! Stay Safe! MM Author Reply: I shall check out "Enter the Ranger!" | |

| Aargh. (Elrond) I love the conversation between G. and C. "Shoot him." And sneaky twins! (In haste; I'm up way past my bedtime.) Hope you are staying well. Author Reply: Lindelea! Yup! We are well so far. (touch wood) And yes Elrond is being a putz right now! I did also really that conversation between Celeborn and Galadriel. I re-read this chapter and when I was finished I looked at the word count and realised it was over 7000 words!!!!! First I said "Eeek!" And then I split it into two chapters! Stay safe! and get to bed, woman!! :-) ((virtual hugs)) MM | |

| This was a long, complicated chapter, with lots of very realistic interaction between some troubled people. Poor Elrond. He mourns the loss of his daughter, so he pushes her away. And I can see how he felt conspired against when his sons and his in-laws shut themselves away to talk about him! Faramir gave really good advice and it looks as if Aragorn is going to try to take it. If he goes to see Elrond, some tense words are likely to be spoken! I like boyish Celeborn. Author Reply: Daw! Thanks again for the thoughtful review. I tried to make the interaction and emotional reactions as real as possible! I do feel sorry for Elrond. He has given so much in the service of Middle Earth only to have what he most treasures taken away and taken away by someone he loves as his own child. It is most bittersweet for him. With Faramir I tried to stay true to his character, giving, caring, intelligent, but also wary of censure having endured his father's scorn for so long. Also sometimes those who have experienced much pain can relate more easily to another's pain. I had great fun with Celeborn. I think he quite often gets depicted in fanfic as a wet blanket or humourless and I wanted to show a different side to him. I mean Galadriel certainly sees something in him and I wanted show a little of their relationship. I'll stop rambling now! :-) Glad you thought it was good! MM | |
