| Sorry, I just wanted to mention that Rivendell is never described (or illustrated) by Tolkien as a city. It could probably best be described as a settlement centred on the Last Homely House, although no buildings are ever mentioned except the House itself. Author Reply: Please don't apologise for pointing out a canonical error. You're quite right and I've corrected the references. Any settlement in the wild would need outbuildings like barns, smithies and such. I took the liberty of giving Rivendell a weapons yard. Given the remote circumstances and the proximity of orcs and trolls in the nearby mountains, it didn't see too far a stretch. Thank-you for pointing out the mistake. Haleth | |

| Poor Haleth. Becoming soft in the presence of an elf. It's probably just as well she's usually as sharp as a scalpel - or she wouldn't have survived anywhere near as long as she has. And Rivendell must be a good place for a bit of skill-honing. And reading Quenya is yet another of her talents. And visiting Rivendell too many times to be too sure of how many. But she's still a disaster area anywhere in the vicinity of Inglor. How does he do it? He seems so harmless! I just love them. More! Lots more! Author Reply: Thank-you, Bodkin You've got to watch the apparently harmless ones. They can cause an infinite amount of trouble without even being aware of it. Haleth | |

| This stay in Rivendell is weighing on poor Haleth more than she suspected! Now she's caught sneaking into Inglor's rooms! and she must be still blinking at how easy it was to set the elf in motion!!! But I suppose that all the training she managed to learn in the dusty tomes shall be put to good use shortly!:-) Yes, I suspected that she would be older than what she seems, but to the point of not remembering! Wow! She's had a troubled life indeed... And now you go and tell us that Inglor saved her from the cold waters of Long Lake, long time ago... she dived there to get rid of him, didn't she? :-) Wonderful, engaging, funny... but now i also feel for her. And I am so glad that you seem to have regained the posting pace...;-) Author Reply: Thank-you, perelleth Haleth probably isn't accustomed to staying in one spot for any length of time. Her worst nightmare is probabaly a lie in the sun and do nothing vacation. And you've probably guessed correctly about those old books. Thanks again. Haleth | |

| This whole story is great, and I love your character! She is quite hilarious. Ingor is so adorable, too. Brilliant, please let me know when you update again (very soon!... hopefully). Author Reply: Thank-you, kels. I'm glad you're enjoying the story and the characters. Haleth | |
