The Valley is Jolly  by Canafinwe 4 Review(s)

I thought of this story several times this week, and finally thought I would just read it again. And ... I am enjoying it once again, of course. I so love your Elrond -- I think I said this the first go-round, but you always make me remember what Elrond must really look like. If he was, you know, real ... :-)

Author Reply: Thank you! That's so wonderful to know. Such a lovely dream, too: if Elrond were real... :-)

Ah that was a lovely, peaceful, and much needed, break from all the earlier tension! I loved it that Elrond was expecting the first words from Estel's mouth to be a question. He certainly knows his young charge very well! Now I hope he gets some much needed rest before the serious business of finding answers to the questions.

Author Reply: I'm sure that Estel must have been exceedingly inquisitive at this age: it's a hallmark of intelligent children. And of course, Elrond and Glorfindel and the others would have been more than happy to oblige him where most topics were concerned.

I'm glad you enjoyed the respite. Serious business indeed lies ahead!

At least Gandalf is willing to allow him sleep tonight! And Gilraen's heart is at last healing!

Author Reply: Well, Gilraen's making a concious effort at least. Healing can't happen overnight.

Oh, I'm so glad that Estel is now awake and better-- and that Gilraen has begun to see the folly of her previous attitude towards Elrond.

I'm thinking that this may also be a time when Elladan and Elrohir will now begin to spend more time with their "little brother".

Love the description of Elrond's weariness, and his sons' solicitous attentions-- I rarely see Elrond h/c! Nicely done.

Author Reply: I'm so glad you liked it! Elrond's not infallible after all: even he needs a little loving care from time to time. Happily the twins were on hand to oblige!

I couldn't let Estel lie feverish forever: after all, he's a great deal of fun to write when he's awake!
