The Search  by Jay of Lasgalen 5 Review(s)
LKKReviewed Chapter: 17 on 1/4/2004
Good to see that Elladan finally believes that Elrohir is alive and well! Now maybe he can get on with the business of healing. He'll have to curb his impatience though otherwise he might hinder the process somehow. (Why is it that an immortal race can be *so* impatient at times???)

I'm glad Beregar finally learned the truth about Elrohir's actions. Legolas handled the situation well. He could easily have become angered over Elrohir's treatment. But he kept Beregar's grief in mind and simply presented the facts. It must not have been an easy situation for him.

Good chapter, Jay. I've been hoping for an update for a bit now. :-)

Author Reply: Well, updates aren't usually this slow - hopefully things will improve now. Legolas did handle the situation well - but he has been trained as a diplomat in his father's court!

Oh yay! Finally an update to "The Search!" I really enjoyed it (as always, of course). I liked the way Elladan kept looking over to Elrohir to make sure he hadn't been dreaming after all and also how Arwen for once was able to take care of her brothers. And I'm very glad that Legolas straightened out Beregar. He definitely owe's Elrohir a big apology and needed to know what a toad he'd been! Well, I know you're working on several stories, so I won't expect an update too soon, but I'll still be watching for it!

Author Reply: I'm glad you picked up on Elladan checking that Elrohir was really there - he's still a bit unsure. And I loved writing the role reversal of Arwen looking after her brothers, instead of the other way around. Beregar has now done the right thing, so matters are better there.

Now, I've finally updated, when will you?

I am glad to see Elladan awake and aware that Elrohir still lived. Arwen did well to lull them both to sleep, especially after *not* telling Elrohir to get some rest!

Author Reply: Arwen knows her brothers well - she knows how to deal with them better than anyone. And I like to see her caring for them, for a change!

I'm glad to see an update to this story. You have several going at once, Jay. I could never do that. I would get too confused!

Things are going well here, I think. And even Beregar is making progress, although it is of a sad kind. It's nice to see Arwen looking after her brothers.

Author Reply: I've seen several stories where the twins are protective of Arwen - Nilmandra's History Lessons is a lovely example - so I thought I'd reverse their roles.

Having several stories at once *is* confusing, and it goes wrong at times like this, when I do not have time to update even one!
