How very quiet, empty, and lonely for the twins. It seems that something is getting through to them about the importance of family and home. I'm glad they plan to not be away next time. Nicely done! | |

Yes, at least NEXT year they ought to be home this time of year; but they did set themselves to removing the threat of orcs from Middle Earth, after all. Love this, Jay. | |

Clear, and piercingly cold. Been there. And the first star, always a wonder. Nicely done. | |

This crystalizes a heartfelt moment, Jay. The image of the star of a cold night is one I recognize--the clearer the night, the colder it is. And the longing for home seems real. | |

Harder to be the one left behind. The days must seem longer - but I'm sure Elladan will be back soon. | |

Now, does their constant provocation overcome their lovability as brothers? Well, at least they've left Estel with a laugh. And a bill. I'm sure he'll get his own back - after all, they are brothers! | |

Poor twins. Six months are quite a long time, and I suppose it is no real comfort for them that time is not the same for elves as it is for us humans. And I love the way Elrohir counts the days :-) | |

I agree that there would indeed have been separations such as this, for with two sons of the house the responsibilities would often end up divided with them in separate places, for the need to have all danger spots covered would have been great. Wonderful look at absence indeed, Jay. | |

you do capture the longing and absence beautifully. well done! btw, i could keep elrohir company for you while his brother is away... | |

I see them as pretty inseparable too, which is what makes things like this (that must have happened sometimes) so sad. I'd love to see this from Elladan's pov too--maybe when he is on the way home and has the freedom to recognize the stress of the patrol dangers and separation. That would have to be pretty overwhelming. I love your drabbles and you're so prolific! | |
