Legolas really has responsibilities here. They do weigh on him. It's really too bad that has so many of the worries that come with having a wife and so few of the joys (as of yet anyway).

The contrast between expected Avari behavior and wood-elf behavior is nicely shown in the scene with Legolas and Erutunin. What seems normal to one, seems bizarre to the other.

So what's with the orcs, I wonder? And the idea of Rhinure living up to her title is kind of scary.

I liked seeing Thranduil's musings. His hope that he had chosen well for Legolas was touching, but I was also interested in how well you show his acumen. The sparring scene was great and I loved the "two elflings."

I think my favorite parts of this chatper were seeing how some of the Avari saw Legolas through new eyes - they think only through the filter of what they know (as we all do) and I give them credit for looking beyond what the know to see him in a different light.

The orc is both descpicable and yet worthy of pity. That hunger would lead him to tell all he knows. But, now the wood elves know more than they did, and Thranduil is crafty enough I know he will figure it out. And Legolas' line about sharing information was wonderful.

I loved the end scene - father and son sparring as they were. It was fitting Thranduil would win, and the love he has for his son just shines through.

I am little worried about all the comments about Rhinure possibly fulfilling her position - those comments certainly raised the tension politically for waht is to come. I am glad that the two seem to be falling in love.
