The plot is really interesting. Can't wait to see Thranduil.

Oh, how I love these first two chapters! It was so marvelous to see Bandy getting his white belt and spurs at last!

I felt sad that Pearl did not live to see the day, though it did not surprise me, as you had previously hinted at her poor health. My only possible unfulfilled wish would have been to see Bandy's Uncles Pippin and Merry there--they'd have been bursting with pride to see him knighted! But I suppose the logistics of having them there might have been difficult--I am afraid I cannot tell what year this is, so I don't know if it would have even been possible.

Tamin is adorable, and I love his heartfelt hero-worship of Legolas.

And I am quite intrigued with the intrigue! On now to the next chapter...

Legolas saw the Lord and Lady of Ithilien exchange worried looks and Legolas wondered, just for a moment, if he might interfere. But then the memory of Dúrfinwen’s wrath, and the ghostly recollection of a woman’s shoe striking his temple, returned to him, and he recalled his oath to her to abjure match-making. “A pity,” he thought, watching Fastred stew in chagrin. “’Twould be an easy thing … "

I wonder what new pasttime Legolas will come up with now that he can no longer be a matchmaker.

What a great chapter. Tamin is quite anxious to be involved in everything. Such devotion! I wish I could serve the Green Knight.

Author Reply: Don't we all! I've created Dol Galenehtar to be my ideal Medieval castle!

Thanks for the review!

Aw what a lovely chapter! I'm excited to see what part Elrohir will play in this story - I love the Sons of Elrond, in all their dark, mysterious glory. Hopefully Tamin won't be so intimidated by him for long :p I can't wait for the next chapter!

Author Reply: Sorry; Elrohir isn't in this very much - in fact, I'm getting rid of him at the next chapter. But if you want a different take on Elrond's sons, try reading the "Conversation" stories by Sheraiah!

I absolutely loved this chapter. I always enjoy how you build a story with all the building of the opening then take us for an exciting ride. I am so enjoying Tamin! He is just adorable and I want to hug him! He is so perfect for following Bandobras as Legolas' squire.

Lots of subtle humor and not so subtle humor in this chapter. I really got a kick out of several lines, but especially Tamin's announcement that Aragorn's getting older made it harder for him to get into his ermine robes. LOL!

Can't wait to see more from you. *taps foot and looks expectantly at Le Rouret, then points to computer screen* More, here, now. *grin*

I am so delighted to find another Green Knight story. Just the thing to brighten the dark days of the bleak midwinter. I am already entranced and cannot wait to see what you do with this.

Author Reply: Thank you! And, I'll have you know, I received a new copy of Gaudy Night from my daughter for Christmas, because my old copy was so well-loved it had fallen apart. I'm halfway through it now!
