| The curiosity of a child is so wonderful! Question after question, trying to fit new sights and insights into their proper place amongst previously acquired knowledge. Ah. It seems only right that Estel would have a sense of homecoming in this land. he suspected the boy was highly unlikely to approve of any familial appeal to seal a promotion for his father's cousin. I suspect he's right. it was an image the Dúnedain cultivated, much as at times they wearied of its effects. I hadn't really thought about it, but of course they do. And Elrond's thoughts about the name "Scowler" are quite amusing. Aha! Clever, perceptive Dorhael! (Estel could do worse in a foster-father if he should return to his people.) "Are we there yet?" Familiar words, indeed. Maybe he would just walk everywhere when he was grown. Foreshadowing, perhaps? By the way, I sympathize. I've been saddle-sore in my time. Weathertop! Author Reply: Foreshadowing indeed, for someone who will be called Strider in future times… :-) I Yes, I can only imagine the excitement (and boredom) of endlessly crossing land that is in many ways utterly different than anything you’ve grown up with. Good thing he’s got patient and affectionate teachers along for the ride! Thx so much for all your lovely comments! | |

| PSW! I love Estel. Such a boy, full of curiosity and impatience, excitement and boredom all rolled into one! Love his excited discussion of his adventurous day with Hobbit children and Children of Men! I love how you show his boredom and the immediate excitement of seeing Amon Sul and all the boredom forgotten! Lovely! (((hugs))) MM Author Reply: Yes - now that he’s safe he’s excited to talk about his adventures of course. Maybe he will try to teach some of the Elves to play marbles … :-P Thx for reading and your comments! | |
