A lovely meeting with her family. May she be comforted by this one who so reminds her of her old and dear friend until she is able to greet her husband once more.

Author Reply: I hope so, since - as we know - it will take roughly 500 years for her and Elrond to be reunited. That's a long time, even for Elves, I'd guess.

Oh, I'm so glad Celebrian has met Arafeinwe and Earwen already! I really love how you write the two of them, Earwen espeically; I've always imagined her to be very gentle and kind. Though poor Celebrian must be having an awful lot of shocks seeing so many people who so closely resemble friends she knows.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter, and getting to know your Elenwe! :)



Author Reply: Eärwen is a shamefully underwritten character, I find, but again, she's not a villain, and villains make more interesting stories. I've finally figured out Elenwë's family background, so let's hope she'll start talking to me, soon.

First meetings are always awkward, aren't they, especially when it involves family. I really enjoyed the interaction between Arafinwë and Eärwen with Celebrían.

By the way, you need to go back and re-read this chapter carefully and fix the pronouns. Half the time you refer to Galadriel as "he" and not a few times Celeborn and Elrond are referred to with feminine pronouns. It got a little confusing who was who. *grin*

Good chapter, though.

Author Reply: Well, I regret that my grammar is so bothersome, but it's not easy if your mother tongue has no genders at all and you no longer have a beta for a story. There is only so much that spellcheck can do for you. *shrugs* I hope I found all the malefactors now.

I'm glad you enjoyed the part nonetheless. I was deadly afraid of writing Arafinwë and Eärwen, as this is the first time I tried writing them.

Excellent introduction to her grandparents. Thank you.

Author Reply: I'm relieved to hear that it worked. This is the first time ever that I wrote Arafinwë and Eärwen, and I really wasn't sure how they would turn out.

Thanks for reading and commenting. :)
