| So, it’s Glorfindel’s fault that Estel wanted forty-eleven peppermint sticks as his ransom. Hmm … | |

| "'Now let’s go get yours so you can have a tummy ache just like I did!'" LOL. Doting!Glorfindel is officially as adorable as icke!Estel. And the two of them together? *dies* So cute. Author Reply: Thank you! (I'm assuming you meant "ickle!Estel since I'm sure you don't find Estel icky in any way! *giggle*) I just love the idea of Glorfindel being a doting uncle. It's a side of him that I think fits with the "joyful" aspect Tolkien gave him. I like to think he and Estel had a very close bond and it's fun to explore that. Hopefully I'll come up with more... I'd love to do an entire series of Glorfindel & Estel stories. Someday!! | |

| And neither his mother nor his foster father will thank Glorfindel for that tummy ache, I believe! As for Glorfindel's last thought--yes, I do believe it is true! Heh! Author Reply: I think you're right about the tummy ache, unless Cook is wiser than Glorfindel. And if not, then I bet Glorfindel was assigned the all-night tummy rub duty. :) | |

| Awwwwwwwwww! This was so very adorable! I love little Estel stories, but even more little Estel and "Gwofindo" stories! ;) Author Reply: Thank you, Lisa! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. :) | |

| Aww, that was so sweet! LOL, if Glorfindel had to eat one honeycake for each year of his life on his last birthday (or rather, begetting day) that poor elf must have had the tummy ache of all tummy aches! :D Author Reply: Thanks, Almut! Yes, let's hope Glorfindel didn't *really* have to eat 4,011 honey cakes. Or even 4,012. *g* | |

| Dear Cairistiona: I very much liked the ending of this. I like the idea that Aragorn/Estel was well-loved by the Elves who brought him up, that he was not just an obligation. Thank you for writing and posting this drabble, and a happy Aragorn's Birthday to you! Sincerely, Darkover Author Reply: Thank you, Darkover! I think little Estel likely charmed everyone at Rivendell, Glorfindel included. He probably drove them all a bit nuts, as any little boy will do, but on the whole, I think he quickly made himself a home in all their hearts. I like thinking about how hospitable Elrond was, and how he assisted the Dunedain all those years... I'm sure his generous spirit and warm heart would have set the tone for all the Rivendell Elves in their attitudes toward the good folk of Middle-earth, little Estel not least of any of them. :) And yes, happy Aragorn's Birthday! | |

| Lovely short story! Was it before or after the "peppermint sticks ransom incident"? If before, then we know who taught the number to Estel ;) Author Reply: Thank you! And hee hee... yep, this predates the peppermint stick ransom. So now we know why Glorfindel insisted it was 4,011 and not 51 peppermint sticks. *g* | |

| Beautiful, yes, I remember your forty-eleven number. Author Reply: Yes, forty-eleven was a very important number to Estel when he was four. *g* So glad you liked this, and recognized the little tie-in. :) | |
